The records supplied for this roundup are agendas only — minutes have not been published — so no votes, approvals or denials are recorded here. What follows is what was noticed for discussion or possible action, and readers should check the city's official postings for results.

Hoffmaster rezoning at 255 Spring Street

The largest item on the agendas was a request to rezone 255 Spring Street from I-1 Industrial to Planned Unit Development (PUD) for CI05 Clintonville WI LLC (Hoffmaster) / Creative Converting, on Parcels 30-24-14-10 and 30-24-13-1. The change would allow an approximately 86,500 square foot building addition, bringing total building area to about 616,402 square feet, or 61.3% of the 23.1-acre site. The applicant requested maximum lot coverage of 88%, up from 70% in I-1, and a building height of 40 feet by right, up from 35 feet.

What this means for residents

Several items on these agendas — ambulance service agreements, dam embankment repair, staff wages, and the possible creation of a Utilities Commission — could affect city services, infrastructure, and utility governance. However, because minutes have not been published for any of the five meetings, residents should treat all items as proposed or discussed rather than decided until official records confirm outcomes.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days. Residents can check the city's official postings for any newly scheduled sessions or for minutes from the July meetings once they are published.
