Commission declines to move forward with adding “Amusement Center” definition to zoning ordinance

Spring Green Plan Commission and Downtown Design Committee · August 1, 2026

Summary

After reviewing several definitions, the Plan Commission did not advance an ordinance amendment to add an “Amusement Center” definition; a motion by Ed Lilla failed for lack of a second and the commission agreed not to proceed at this time.

The Plan Commission considered a proposed amendment to add a definition of “Amusement Center” to the Spring Green Zoning Ordinance. Ed Lilla moved to recommend approval to the Village Board, and members discussed the proposed language; David Saperstein raised concerns about the phrase "recreation activities" and how it might be interpreted. Lilla said the proposed text reflected research into available definitions and that the original requesters have since told the Village they are not pursuing the business venture because of significant costs.

Lilla’s motion failed for lack of a second, and following extended discussion the Plan Commission reached consensus not to proceed with the amendment at this time. The minutes note the commission may revisit the matter in the future if needed; no official action or referral was recorded at this meeting.
