Committee refers certified survey map for 30 days; historians note prior trailer‑park use
Summary
The committee referred a certified survey map (item noted as 26‑144) for one month after staff and plan commission recommended additional review; members noted University of Wisconsin–La Crosse student research showing the parcel historically held a trailer park called Krauss' Cabin Court through 1964.
The Judiciary Administration Committee on March 31 voted to refer a certified survey map (item listed as Old Business 26‑144) for 30 days to allow further review. The plan commission and staff had recommended an additional month of consideration.
Committee members noted historical context introduced during discussion: students from the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse researched the parcel and reported that, through 1964, the site contained a small community—Krauss' Cabin Court—comprising a trailer park, a motel, a grocery store and a gas station. One member suggested restoring historical spelling ("Copper Rocks" with a K) to acknowledge that local history.
Council member Stein moved referral for 30 days; Council President Dickinson seconded the motion, which passed unanimously, 5–0.
