Cedarburg council denies quarry exit, approves two plats and routine measures
Summary
The Common Council voted to deny R & R Quarry's request to use a city outlot as an exit, approved Phase 2 of Stone Lake condominiums and the Quarry Park subdivision final plat, and adopted routine fiscal and appointment items on the consent agenda.
The Cedarburg Common Council on Wednesday rejected a proposal from R & R Quarry to use a city outlot and a new gravel drive as an exit to Forward Way, citing concerns the plan would shift dirt, dust and truck traffic into a new area and pose risks to a nearby business park. The denial passed on a council motion and voice vote.
In land‑use business, council members approved an amendment and final condominium plat for Phase 2 of the Stone Lake development (19 buildings, 38 units) and approved the final plat for Quarry Park, a 24‑lot single‑family subdivision. Staff told the council both final plats were consistent with previously approved preliminary plats and recommended carrying conditions from the planning commission into the council’s approvals.
Council also approved Resolution 2026‑02 to designate depositories and authorize city account signatories, confirmed mayoral appointments to boards and commissions, and adopted the consent agenda containing routine administrative items. Members were told that appointments take effect immediately if approved.
What happened on votes (at a glance): the council voted to deny the R & R Quarry exit request; approved the Stone Lake Phase 2 amendment and final condominium plat subject to planning commission conditions; approved the Quarry Park final plat; approved Resolution 2026‑02; approved mayoral appointments; and approved the consent agenda. All votes on the recorded land‑use and administrative items passed with no recorded nays in the meeting transcript.
Why it matters: the quarry decision keeps heavy truck traffic on existing county roads rather than routing it through the city business park, which council members said would risk new complaints and damage to recently developed streets and nearby businesses. The approved plats move two housing developments forward in the city’s growth plan.
