The Jan. 21 Village Board meeting was short, but power-packed with decisions and information residents need to know.
Walmart's application for a land use amendment will be discussed at the Jan. 30 Plan Commission meeting, Village Attorney Elaine Ekes confirmed Monday. Before the Village Board meeting got into full swing, Ekes told trustees and gathered residents that the retail giant had submitted an application to amend the village's land use plan so it jives with what the county has on file. "Per the procedure in the comp plan, the matter will go to the Plan Commission for an initial review," she said. "I would remind all of you that the Plan Commission is a recommend-only board and ultimately, the decision is up to the Village Board."

A & W faithful will still be able to get a frosty mug of their favorite frothy beverage because the restaurant is moving to the east side of I-94.
Widening I-94 is prompting a move east for the A&W Restaurant, on the west side of the expressway at Highway K. Owners Sharon and Frank Welch want to start building a new restaurant at the corner of Northwestern Avenue (Highway K) and the East Frontage Road, just across the expressway. Their site plan was presented to the village Plan Commission last week and was unanimously approved. Trustees will take the matter under consideration at the Jan. 21 Village Board meeting. Access is expected to come off of the frontage road because of WisDOT rules about access off Highway K. Root beer and burger lovers - cheese curds, too - will find the new restaurant just east of the Pilot gas station/truck stop. A new road will be constructed to divide …

That old familiar building that houses the A&W Restaurant will be no more next year because the state want's to put in an interstate access at Highway K.
A&W Restaurant, 3751 South 27th St., will have to relocate to Caledonia because of the new interchange being built at Highway K and Interstate 94. The restaurant makes their own root beer and is one of the oldest drive-in restaurants in the area. Sharon and Frank, who have owned the business since 1974, are still ironing things with DOT; but they expect to start building the new restaurant in the spring. The new building will be located just to the east of the _Pilot_ gas station on the north side of Highway K and the old building will be razed. A new road will also divide the Pilot and newly built restaurant, which the DOT will pay up to $200,000 of. Sharon said they’ve known about the road construction since 1995, but the DOT changed the…

CC-relative to your comment: That is precisely what I am proposing. Combining all the current plans for the whole VC-M area to just the corner of 4 Mile and North Green Bay Roads. Albeit at a much smaller scale and without a train station. This idea would be a change to the Plan. Bottom line: If our Village Plan intended for the type of development WM is proposing, they wouldn't have request to … more ›
