Council approves rezoning, alley vacation and routine items; extends museum MOU to June
Summary
At its Feb. 19 meeting the Superior Common Council approved a rezoning for Lake Superior Apartments LLC, granted an alley vacation request, approved meeting minutes and routine licenses, and extended a memorandum of understanding with the Superior Public Museums to June 3, 2025.
The Superior Common Council on Feb. 19 approved several routine agenda items, including a rezoning ordinance for a proposed apartment development and a street/alley vacation, and granted temporary licenses and other ministerial approvals.
The council unanimously closed a public hearing and adopted an ordinance to rezone property around the former Lakes Perry Elementary School from suburban to a planned development district (PDD) and approved a companion comprehensive‑plan future‑use map amendment. Councilor Herrick made the motion; Councilor Elm seconded. The council also closed a public hearing and approved a resolution granting a vacation request from Chris and Alyssa Nye to vacate a portion of the alley between East Fourth and East Fifth Streets and a portion of unimproved Thirtieth Avenue East; that motion was made by Councilor Johnson and seconded by Councilor Sweeney.
The council approved the Feb. 4, 2025 meeting minutes (motion by Councilor Herrick, second Councilor Elm) and approved miscellaneous licenses and a temporary class B wine license for an April 11 fundraising event for the Children’s Dyslexia Center. The council also approved an extension to a memorandum of understanding with the Superior Public Museums; following an amendment the extension was set to June 3, 2025, to allow the finance committee additional time to review terms.
