Wausau commission forwards Little Red Schoolhouse landmark nomination to planning commission
Summary
After a public hearing with no public comment, the Historic Preservation Commission voted to forward the nomination of the Little Red Schoolhouse in Marathon Park to the Planning Commission for further consideration and potential city-council action.
The City of Wausau Historic Preservation Commission unanimously moved to forward a nomination to designate the Little Red Schoolhouse in Marathon Park as a local landmark to the city Planning Commission.
Commissioners opened a public hearing on the Little Red Schoolhouse under the authority of Chapter 2.82 of the City of Wausau municipal code, which establishes the commission’s powers to investigate and recommend landmarks and historic districts. No members of the public spoke during the hearing; the chair closed public comment before the commission voted to send the nomination on for the next step in the review process.
The motion approved by the commission is an initial step: if the Planning Commission acts favorably, the nomination will move to the City Council for final action. Commissioners described the current vote as the commission’s preliminary recommendation and part of the city’s established ordinance-driven process for designating local landmarks.
