The Sturgeon Bay Common Council will address several ordinances that have been discussed and passed the initial readings when they meet Tuesday night. The first ordinance for consideration deals with bicycle registrations, and restrictions on play vehicles and inline skates within certain areas of the city. The council will also be looking to move forward with a 53 unit apartment building on the West Waterfront by passing a second reading of the ordinance to rezone from Central Business District (C-2) to Planned Unit Development (PUD) which is subject to requirements fulfilled by the developer Northpointe Development. City Administrator Josh VanLieshout says the other ordinance being brought before the council for the second reading is the amending of the lodging tax ordinance.
VanLieshout adds that the Sturgeon Bay Common Council will discuss a resolution to adjust park fees for shelter rentals, snow removal, and lawn mowing. A public hearing to discontinue Ackerman Street, which is a street that only existed on a plat and dead-ended into a swamp area near Canal Road, will be conducted as well at Tuesday’s meeting which starts at 6 pm at City Hall.
