Plan commission approves conditional‑use permit for second accessory garage at 1201 North Webster
Summary
The commission approved a conditional‑use permit allowing a second accessory building of 240 sq ft at 1201 North Webster, subject to site plan approval and compliance with other regulations; the item will be forwarded to the City Council on Nov. 11 for final action.
The Green Bay Plan Commission on Nov. 3 approved a conditional‑use permit (CUP) that would allow a second accessory building of 240 square feet at 1201 North Webster Avenue, a duplex property owned by Michael Delaney and applied for by Duane (Dwayne) Peterson.
Staff reported that city code allows a second accessory building but limits its size to 150 square feet and that the applicant is requesting a 240‑square‑foot structure. There is an existing 576‑square‑foot accessory building on the parcel; staff said the parcel can accommodate a second building in a different location but that the current siting may require a variance from the Board of Appeals. Staff recommended approval of the CUP for the use, subject to site‑plan approval by the Office of Community & Economic Development and compliance with all applicable regulations.
Applicant Duane Peterson spoke during the public hearing and said he needs additional secure storage for tools and equipment, describing repeated damage to existing storage and the need to lock up personal property. "I need my own place to lock up my own stuff," Peterson told the commission.
A commissioner moved to approve the CUP as recommended; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The commission directed that the applicant must obtain any necessary variances from the Board of Appeals to retain the structure in its current location and must secure site‑plan approval and full regulatory compliance. The Plan Commission's approval will be forwarded to the Green Bay City Council for final consideration on Nov. 11.
Next steps: the applicant should apply for any required variance from the Board of Appeals and pursue site‑plan approval as required by the Office of Community & Economic Development.
