Summary

At its April meeting the City of Delavan Common Council approved multiple zoning conditional uses and land divisions, awarded several public works contracts, authorized purchases and approved multiple temporary and permanent liquor licenses and mayoral appointments.

The City of Delavan Common Council on April 8 approved a package of permits, contracts, purchases, temporary liquor licenses and mayoral appointments.

Among the actions the council approved were conditional-use permits for multi-tenant retail and a tavern with drive-through on Racine Street; a two-lot certified survey map (CSM) land division; a $90,000 seal-coating streets contract; a $10,125 quote to add vibration dampeners to three overhead mast arms on East Geneva Street and Board Road; authorization to purchase an inflatable fire-education house using donated funds; and a range of temporary and reserved liquor licenses for community events and businesses. The council also confirmed multiple mayoral appointments and committee nominations.

The votes were taken during the regular council meeting after reports from standing committees and a planning commission referral. Council members made or seconded the motions and the motions were approved as recorded on the meeting minutes.

Specific approvals recorded on the agenda and passed by the council included: - Conditional use permit for 1421 Racine Street (multi-tenant retail within a Manufacturing Light zoning district and Wellhead Protection Overlay), approved subject to staff conditions. - Conditional use permit for 1265 Racine Street (commercial indoor entertainment/tavern with a drive-through in a Business Local zoning district and Wellhead Protection Overlay), approved subject to staff conditions. - Two-lot certified survey map (CSM) for property on South Street, approved with a $30,000 financial guarantee for curbing and other conditions. - Award of a 2025 seal-coating contract to Partner Asphalt (not to exceed $90,000). - Approval of a quote to Outdoor Lighting Construction for vibration dampeners on three overhead mast arms ($10,125). - Approval of the purchase of an inflatable fire-education house for $8,500 plus $615 shipping/processing using donation/fundraiser funds. - Multiple temporary retailer beer/wine licenses for community events (Friends of the Phoenix Park Bandshell summer concerts; Bridging the Gap Recovery League for the Cinco de Mayo festival; Redeemer Lutheran Church Holy Smoke event; American Legion for the spring wine walk), and approval of a reserve Class B liquor license for Amman's Beer & Wine. - Adoption of a special charge resolution ordering the owner of 2119 East Geneva Street to repair a private storm drain pipe. - Adoption of fees for Spring Grove Cemetery and approval of routine warrants and finance items. - Confirmation of multiple mayoral appointments to boards, commissions and city officer positions (city treasurer; director of public works; city attorney; members to planning, public works, parks and other commissions).

The items above were considered individually on the agenda; several passed with full council concurrence as reflected in the meeting record. Where staff-recommended conditions were referenced, the approvals were subject to those conditions as listed in the planning and staff reports.

The council recessed to closed session later in the meeting under Wisconsin Statutes §19.85 to discuss land negotiations and pending litigation matters.
