At its Nov. 10 meeting the City of West Bend approved multiple land-use and development actions intended to facilitate future redevelopment and property transfers.
Development staff presented final approval of Resolution 44 to vacate Campus Drive (located about a half mile south of West Washington Street and west of South University Drive). Staff said the vacation began in September and is intended to facilitate sale and redevelopment of the UWWC campus area; the council approved the vacation by voice vote.
Council then approved Ordinance 21 to permanently zone 159.07 acres at the northeast corner of South River Road and Sand Drive to RS‑4 single‑family residential and apply environmental overlays (flood plain, floodway, wetlands, non‑shoreland wetland, shoreland wetland districts) to set parameters for future subdivision development. Staff noted the property is privately owned and that the zoning sets the framework for potential future subdivision activity; no public comments were recorded during the plan commission hearing.
The council also adopted Resolution 45 accepting an 80‑foot right-of-way dedication and cul‑de‑sac bulb and naming the new roadway Forge Place to support a nearby manufacturing center and future land sales.
Finally, Council approved Resolution 46 authorizing sale of a specific parcel to PKH Holdings LLC; staff noted previous approval of the offer and development agreement and said this resolution satisfies title-company requirements and delegates signature authority to the mayor and clerk and other documents to the city administrator.
All land‑use items were approved by voice vote; no roll-call tallies are recorded in the transcript.
