Marinette eyes $2.96M redevelopment of old City Hall; council to weigh bike plan, new fees

The past two weeks saw no decisions from Marinette's boards and commissions: the July 1 Planning Commission meeting was cancelled due to a lack of action items. But a busy week ahead includes a proposed tax district to redevelop the old City Hall into apartments and a restaurant, a public hearing on that plan, a council vote on a bicycle-and-pedestrian master plan, and a dental office's request for a parking variance.

Joint Review Board, Planning Commission: TID No. 20 for old City Hall

On Monday, July 6, the Joint Review Board will meet to organize and review a draft project plan for Tax Incremental District No. 20. The district would fund redevelopment of the old City Hall site at 1905 Hall Avenue into a mixed-use project by developer T.Spell. The plan calls for $2.96 million in costs, including $500,000 for development incentives and $500,000 for infrastructure. The project would create 60 housing units: 50 workforce apartments and 10 market-rate units, plus a restaurant.

Immediately following the review board, the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing at 3:30 PM on the proposed TID boundaries and project plan. The commission may then vote on a resolution to establish the district and approve the plan.

Common Council: Bike plan, new fees, festival licenses

The Common Council will meet on Tuesday, July 7. Council members will discuss and possibly adopt the City of Marinette Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan 2026. They will also vote on several contracts, including a professional-services agreement with ROCK I LLC for an event and a line-striping agreement with Marinette County.

Ordinances up for final action include:

Ordinance 2554, adding police and fire fees to Schedule A.
Ordinance 2555, amending outdoor burning rules for recreational fires.
Ordinance 2556, amending municipal court fees.

Also on the agenda: a temporary Class B beer license for the Marinette Moose Lodge for the Logging & Heritage Festival on July 10-11 at 1600 Bridge Street ($10 fee), and an upgrade of air packs for the Fire Department (cost to be determined).

Zoning Board of Appeals: Parking variance for Great Blue Dental

On Wednesday, July 8, the Zoning Board of Appeals will hear a variance request from Wyn Steckbauer of Great Blue Dental to reduce off-street parking requirements for a 1,989-square-foot addition at 2005 Marinette Avenue (Parcel #251-08023.000).
