Votes at a glance: Wausau Planning Commission approves signs, right-of-way dedication and meeting minutes
Summary
At its Aug. 19 meeting the Wausau Planning Commission approved minutes from July 15, two permanent business signs and a right-of-way dedication to Aspirus for a hospital parking expansion; details and some address spellings as recorded in the meeting were inconsistent and are noted.
The Wausau Planning Commission on Aug. 19 approved routine items including meeting minutes, two permanent business sign permits and a dedication of portions of right-of-way related to an Aspirus hospital parking expansion.
The commission approved the July 15 meeting minutes by voice vote after a motion by Commissioner Balkan and a second from Commissioner Ornaman.
Sign approvals - A request to allow a blade sign in the urban mixed-use district for a construction-related business was approved. The meeting record refers to the location with inconsistent spellings (recorded variously as "02:05 Cowen Street" and "205 Calum/Callan Street"); the record indicates the sign met zoning criteria. Inspections staff presented the item and commissioners approved it by voice vote. - A request to allow an institutional information sign in an institutional zoning district for Stratford Sign Company, LLC was approved. The address appears in the record as both "3103 North Thirteenth Street" and later as "3101 North Thirteenth Street." The motion to approve passed by voice vote.
Right-of-way dedication The commission approved dedicating portions of West Hill Drive (between North 20 Eighth Avenue and Pine Ridge Boulevard) and a portion of Pine Ridge Boulevard east of that intersection to Aspirus Hospital in conjunction with a parking-lot realignment and expansion. The item was introduced as coming from the Infrastructure (INF) committee; Commissioner Watson moved the item and Commissioner Larson seconded. The commission recorded the item as having passed unanimously.
The commission noted the Aspirus project had earlier come before the INF committee and that the dedication would support the hospital’s west-side parking expansion and street realignment. Staff described the item as a work in progress and noted related street vacations had been discussed at prior meetings.
Clarifying details: the meeting transcript contains inconsistent spellings and addresses for two sign items ("Cowen/Calum/Callan" and "3101/3103 North Thirteenth"); the commission recorded that the signs met zoning criteria and inspections staff presented the items; the Aspirus dedication item was described as part of a larger parking and street realignment project that had been reviewed by the INF committee.
