ApprovedVariance
Single-family home at Buena Vista Ave. and Pewaukee Rd.
Description
The Markwardts sought a variance to build a home on a vacant corner lot with a 10-foot setback from Buena Vista Avenue instead of the required 25 feet. The zoning administrator denied it on February 11, 2026, and the board was scheduled to hear the appeal.
Impact summary
Fills a long-vacant lot near City Hall with a new home built into a steep hill, which members said benefits surrounding property values.
