The Village of Spring Green Plan Commission on May 20, 2026 unanimously appointed David Saperstein as Interim Plan Commission Chair, approved a conditional use permit allowing reduced setbacks for a property on N. Baltimore Street, and voted to move forward with draft revisions to the SR‑1 Village Special Design Review District while postponing publication until a related hearing is scheduled.
The actions took place at a meeting held at the Spring Green Village Office, 154 N. Lexington Street, which was called to order at 7:04 p.m. by Robin Reid. Members present were Robin Reid, Tyler Wilkinson, Ed Lilla, Kevin Zimmer and Brad Hutnik; Wendy Crary was appointed minute taker. The meeting was held in person with virtual access available. No members of the public offered comment.
On the question of leadership, the commission discussed the chairperson vacancy and voted to appoint David Saperstein as Interim Plan Commission Chair. The motion to appoint Saperstein was made by Ed Lilla and seconded by Robin Reid and passed with all members in attendance voting in favor.
The commission then considered a conditional use permit request from Mark and Angela Bindl for reduced setbacks on parcel #182-0278-10000, located at 432 N. Baltimore Street in the Village of Spring Green. Ed Lilla reviewed his technical review of the application. The commission approved the conditional use permit by unanimous vote (motion by Kevin Zimmer, second by Brad Hutnik). The meeting record states the motion passed with all in attendance in favor; no further detail on specific setback dimensions or conditions was provided in the record.
Later in the agenda, staff member Prem presented draft revisions to the SR‑1 Village Special Design Review District (overlay). Commissioners voted to proceed with the proposed revisions but directed that publication be delayed until a hearing is scheduled for another related agenda item. The motion to proceed and delay publication was made by Ed Lilla, seconded by Robin Reid, and passed unanimously.
The commission discussed options for filling a currently vacant seat but took no action on that item. With no general public comment, the meeting was adjourned at 7:45 p.m. on a unanimous vote (motion by Tyler Wilkinson, second by Kevin Zimmer).
Next steps: the commission will move ahead with the SR‑1 draft revisions and will publish them once a related hearing is scheduled; the appointment and conditional use permit are recorded as approved in the meeting minutes.
