Neillsville City Council Holds Joint Meeting With City Planning Commission

Tuesday, August 24th, 2021 -- 10:01 AM

The Neillsville City Council held a joint meeting with the Neillsville Planning Commission.

A couple items were discussed including a potential business and the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Donna Pavlac, 615 W. Seventh Street, is considering purchasing the Boon properties with closing within the next month.

Her plans are to open a retail nursery to grow plants, trees and shrubs. The preferred future land use Map 17 shows its residential which doesn’t support her business plans. It was asked if a change to commercial or mixed use would apply?

It was also asked if she was going to have sales there or just grow the plants to be sold elsewhere? Pavlac stated she would be selling from there. Originally, it was thought that a driveway could be off W. Tenth Street, but the City has an easement to the Sewer Plant. It is not a roadway.

Access would be from the intersection of Ayers Street and W. Seventh Street, because a driveway has to be set back from an intersection. She will have to come to the City to allow a driveway off of the intersection over the road right-away.

It was stated that this change would be for future land use map purpose only and Pavlac would still have to go through the zoning process. In the end, the Council approved the Comprehensive Plan with the changes regarding the potential business by Pavlac.
