Mayville council moves forward to rezone parkland and split parcel for new EMS facility
Summary
The Mayville Common Council held a public hearing and introduced an ordinance to rezone part of Tyler/Pilot Park for a new EMS building, approved a certified survey map to split the parcel, and was told the project has a $100,000 grant and an estimated $3.3 million remaining to finance.
The Mayville Common Council opened a public hearing and took steps to rezone the lower portion of Tyler Park to make way for a new emergency medical services facility.
Mayor (speaker) explained why the city needs a new EMS building north of the former Shotco site on Highway TW, saying the current building no longer meets the city’s needs and that continuing to invest in the old structure is not a long-term solution. “With the city receiving a $100,000 grant towards construction of the new facility and financing the remaining estimated $3,300,000 over 20 years, the EMS department projects that it can support the new facility through its own revenues,” the mayor said.
The council closed the public hearing after confirming the plan commission had already reviewed the rezoning request. Council members then approved a certified survey map to split parcel 2511216.213-040 to create the EMS building site and introduced ordinance 1156-2026 to rezone Parcel 251121622130404 (a portion of Pilot/Tyler Park) under municipal code section 430-32; the ordinance will return for a second reading at a later meeting.
City staff told the council the project includes both the grant and the long-term financing plan; the mayor also noted the city operates an EMS training center that generates revenue but still requires taxpayer support. Don Knightzel was referenced during the hearing as having reviewed the rezoning request at the plan commission.
Next steps: the rezoning ordinance will come back for a second reading, and council actions to finalize the parcel split and any contract or construction agreements will follow subsequent reviews and required legal reviews.
