Wisconsin Boy Scouts Campground Expansion Approved
The Village Board considered a request to amend a previously approved conditional use permit for the Wisconsin Boy Scouts Soul Crown. The amendment aims to allow the expansion of an existing campground within the PR1 Park Recreational District. The Plan Commission had previously passed this item with a seven to zero vote. The board approved the amendment after clarifying the motion. [cite: 513, 523, 541, 546]
Village Board Holds Closed Sessions for Property Sales and Fire Department Personnel Issues
The Village Board convened into closed session twice. The first session, pursuant to Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(e), was for deliberating or negotiating the purchasing of public properties, investing public funds, or conducting other specified public business that requires a closed session due to competitive or bargaining reasons. Specifically, this involved the review and possible sale of three parcels: 300 317 East Lake Street, 12416 Antioch Road, and Lots 1 and 2 73rd Street. The second closed session, pursuant to Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(c) and (f), was to consider employment, promotion, compensation, or performance evaluation data of any public employee, and financial, medical, social, or personal histories or disciplinary data of specific persons. This specifically pertained to personnel issues in the fire department. After the closed sessions, the board reconvened into open session, and in both instances, there was nothing to report.

SMM Investments LLC Receives Approval for Two New Parcels
The Village Board reviewed and approved a certified survey map for SMM Investments LLC. The map is intended to create two new parcels, each approximately 0.04 acres, from an existing tax parcel.

SMM Investments LLC Authorized to Create Four New Residential Parcels
The Village Board approved a request from SMM Investments LLC to create multiple new parcels from existing tax parcels. This involves dividing two tax parcels into four smaller parcels: one approximately 2.7 acres, one 4 acres, one 3.8 acres, and one 2.66 acres. The Plan Commission previously held a public hearing and passed the item with a seven to zero vote. During the board discussion, a question arose about the primary environmental corridor, with clarification provided that houses can be built within it, but public sewer cannot be extended.
