Votes at a glance: Ashwaubenon Village Board actions Jan. 28, 2025
Summary
At its Jan. 28 meeting the Village Board approved a series of permits, plats, bids and agreements required to advance capital projects, special events and public‑safety planning.
At its Jan. 28, 2025, meeting the Village Board approved multiple routine and project items. Key outcomes at a glance:
- Wireless telecommunications tower: The board granted a conditional use permit for a replacement monopole at 2634 Babcock Road (Parcel VA‑155‑1) to replace the existing standpipe and retain existing wireless array contracts; Site Plan Review and the Plan Commission recommended approval and the board approved the permit (recorded as approved at the meeting).
- Highland Ridge Estates: The board approved the final plat for Highland Ridge Estates 2nd Addition (phase 3 / final phase) and approved the associated phase 3 development agreement between the Village and Highland Ridge Properties, LLC; staff confirmed conditions from the preliminary plat had been addressed and recommended approval.
- EPIC Marathon & Running Festival special event: The board approved road closures for the EPIC Marathon and Running Festival to be held May 18, 2025; public‑safety staff reviewed the route changes and indicated mitigations for prior concerns, including avoiding a previously contested segment of Cormier Road and accounting for manpower and staging.
- Tree removal (2025): Bids were awarded to Lowney's Tree Service for ash tree removals and related removals in Argonne Park and the trail conservancy area, including an alternate section to allow future boardwalk construction; staff reported a combined low‑bid total of $18,200 for the three portions and recommended the award to Lowney’s.
- Mini Park on Element Way: The board awarded construction of the Element Way mini park (concrete, electrical, sun shelter assembly, drainage and flat work) to Advanced Construction as the low bidder at $148,511.30 (bid amount recorded in the packet) and authorized the award.
- Intergovernmental agreement: The board approved participation in Brown County’s Safe Streets and Roads for All program should grant funding be available. Staff reported the county split consultant‑funding among municipalities by lane miles; Ashwaubenon’s local match and share were reported as approximately $30,500 to hire a consultant to perform a roadway safety assessment and recommend improvements. The board approved the intergovernmental agreement but staff said the county would not commence work until grant funding is confirmed.
Each item was motioned, seconded and approved during the business portion of the meeting. Where a specific vote or dissent was recorded in the transcript it is noted in other articles; otherwise the transcript reports unanimous approval or “motion carried.”
