Making unanimous votes on 11 different considerations on Tuesday night, the Sturgeon Bay Common Council concluded its final meeting of the year in just 30 minutes.

 In the quickly moved agenda items, the council approved the second reading of an ordinance on the repeal and recreate of the holding tank agreements and the first reading of the repeal and recreate of the weights and measures regulations ordinance.

After that, the council did two other first readings of ordinance to amend a part of the Municipal Code for adopting the state building codes and a repeal and recreate of the compulsory connection to the sewer and water mains.

The council approved the City Plan Commission's recommendation to vacate the unimproved portion of south Madison Avenue to allow a homeowner, Robert Scaturo, to expand his home.  A public hearing was held with no one speaking up. The council then approved the resolution, subject to a stormwater management issue being resolved between Scaturo and the city engineer.

Two lots along Alabama Place were included in an amended development agreement with the Geneva Ridge Developer (JPEJ, LLC), which the council approved.

The council then moved on to the recommendations from the City Plan Commission and the Community Protection & Services to change the Tourist Rooming House permit, requiring the owner/operator to be within 90 minutes from the house or have a management company nearby.

The council also voted to move January’s two meeting dates a week later than usual to January 9 and January 23, respectively, at 6 p.m.
