The Sturgeon Bay Common Council moved forward on a housing development plan and leasing dockage for a boat tour company on the west side waterfront. 

At the beginning of Tuesday's meeting, Brian Anderson of Wipfli from Madison gave the council a review of the 2022 audit report via Zoom that was formally approved after a brief presentation.

A planned unit development and rezoning for a large duplex complex on Colorado Street and North 6th Avenue took a step forward with an approved first reading at the meeting.  The project would eventually have 19 two-family dwellings and one single-family home built on the 11-acre property with a clubhouse and garage building.  The rezoning would be from R-1 and R-2 (Residential Single-Family) to a Planned Unit Development (PUD).  Community Development Director Marty Olejniczak shared the conditions that are placed on the PUD.

A recommendation for approval of a lease agreement between James Patterson of Shoreline Scenic Boat Tours and the City of Sturgeon Bay to use the former launch ramp located near the Michigan Street Bridge and Madison Avenue was approved.  The last boat tour located in the city was the Chicago Fire Boat that moved back to Chicago five years ago.

In his mayor report, Mayor David Ward encouraged children to attend the Free Bike Rodeo that the city is hosting this Saturday at 10:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. at the City Hall parking lot at Market Square.  Bike safety, helmet fittings and safety information will be provided to any child who attends.
