The Sturgeon Bay Zoning Board of Appeals is looking for public input at their meeting next week.  Two petitions for variances to exceed the 45-foot building height ordinance from Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding will be heard at the Zoning Board of Appeals next Tuesday.  The requests are for an existing building at the address of 273 N. 1st Avenue and for a new building located in the south yard of Bay Ship, just west of the property at 341 N. 3rd Avenue.  One of the buildings will be up to 110 feet high.  Zoning Board of Appeals Chair Bill Murrock says a public hearing will be held starting at noon on Tuesday.  He encourages the public to attend and voice their opinion on the requests.

The Sturgeon Bay Plan Commission tabled a decision on changing ordinances regarding variances on Tuesday.   The commission chose instead to have an option revised that could eventually allow buildings that are above the height limit of 45 feet in the I-2 district to be approved by the Plan Commission and City Council.
