Votes at a glance: Zoning Board approves minutes, elects vice chair and grants Wood Trust Bank variance
Summary
The Zoning Board of Appeals approved prior minutes, elected Mike Derry vice chair, and granted Wood Trust Bank a one‑foot variance for its downtown parking lot; the variance vote was 4–1.
At its meeting, the Wisconsin Rapids Zoning Board of Appeals took three formal actions:
1) The board approved the minutes of the Jan. 13, 2026 meeting after a motion by Chuck and a second by Jerry; the motion carried by voice vote.
2) The board elected Mike Derry as vice chair so the board would have a presiding officer during the chair's March absence; the nomination was moved by Chuck and seconded and carried by voice vote.
3) After a public hearing and staff presentation, the board voted 4–1 to grant a one‑foot variance allowing the north drive aisle at 181 2nd Street South to be 23 feet instead of the 24 feet required under Chapter 11. Community development staff had recommended denial, saying no unique hardship was shown.
The board's actions were recorded in the meeting and the variance decision will be memorialized in the board minutes and permit record.
