Sturgeon Bay City: The Zoning Board of Appeals met on Monday, 23 June.
Action items:
* Held a public hearing re: Variance for Leta Guth-side yard setback
at 629 GA St. Denied the request since the lot was very deep and has plenty
of room to build a garage on another portion of the property.
* Held a public hearing re: Variance for Dennis Starr-setback for
accessory building (garage) at 542 IA St. which would be closer to the
street than allowed. Granted the request since the garage would clean up the
clutter, because the lot is narrow & makes it difficult to build a
conforming garage, the garage would improve the safety and appearance of the
property.
* Held a public hearing re: Variance for Brian Lackie-setback for
accessory building (garage) at 136 W. Maple St. Denied based on finding no
hardship, the existing garage can be enlarged by 50%.

* Sturgeon Bay schools are willing to have a community garden on their
leased property near Amnity Field. This item was tabled until the July

July. Discussion items:
* Discussion took place re: the City giving the SBVC the City's
portion (30% of the collected room tax), in addition to joining the Door Co.
Tourism Zone. It was noted this was approximately $100,000 and this money
was part of the annual City budget and would have to be replaced with an
increase in taxes. It was noted the discussion on whether to join in on the
County wide room tax has been going on for quite some time and both entities
are important. The history of why the County did not join in on a room tax
when the City implemented the accommodation tax was reviewed.
* Tabled for a future meeting.
