Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Green Bay public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Historic design review at 638 S Monroe Avenue
A homeowner in the Astor historic district needed approval to replace a rear window and redo a jump porch. Because the work isn't visible from the street and touches only non-historic elements, it sailed through without controversy.
Badger Tracks neighborhood sign placement
The newly formed Badger Tracks Neighborhood Association got the OK to place its sign on city-maintained green space across from Fireman's Park at West Mason Street and Bentwood Drive. The association pays for everything, and staff will pick the exact spot to protect trees and keep sightlines safe.
Whitney School Apartments ownership transfer
The historic Whitney School building's 23 market-rate apartments are changing hands, and the new owner takes over the existing TIF development agreement unchanged. Residents see no change — the development agreement just follows the building.
Emmet Street land donation
Diane Derks donated a parcel on Emmet Street she can't use because it lacks utilities; the city accepted it as a possible future development site.
Property purchase at 1803 Shawano Ave.
The Authority approved buying the parcel at 1803 Shawano Avenue, adding it to the city's redevelopment inventory.
New industrial office/storage building on S Maple Ave
A vacant lot between industrial buildings gets a small office/storage facility for the buyer's own business, at a discounted price because he's fixing the sidewalks and paying for fill.
Planning option at 1209 S. Maple Street
Don Rozz received a 60-day window to explore redevelopment of the S. Maple Street parcel.
