Mayor Malz called the Public Hearing to order at 6:45 p.m. Councilmember John Barnes, Councilmember Steve Trebesch, Councilmember Larry Mueller, Councilmember Brian Cummiskey, City Clerk Jeremy Gruenhagen, and Deputy Clerk Block were in attendance. Also in attendance was Norman Thoele (421 Louisa), William Panning (631 Kim Avenue), Roger Wolter (361 Maria Avenue), and Chris Lund (612 Kim Avenue).

 

The reason for the public hearing is for the request by Joe Hubler to rezone the property located at 411 Maria Ave. (also known as the former City Hall) from R-1 Single Family Residential District to B - Downtown Business Mixed Use to allow commercial use of the first floor of the building and multiple family residential use of the second floor. Additionally, a conditional use permit is requested at the property located at 411 Maria Ave. to allow storage, repair and servicing occupying between 30 to 50 percent of the building and associated with the business use of the property.

 

The building will be renovated and the first floor will be utilized as a fabrication shop and office for the Tonka Granite Company.
