1. Correspondence – none.
2. Discussion Topics.
a. 17.25 Ordinance Amendment - Data Centers.
Per discussion with the Common Council and the Plan Commission, staff are proposing an
update to section 17.25 of the Municipal Code to allow for data centers in the City’s Industrial
District as a special exception. This would allow the city to accommodate a growing industry
while maintaining local control to ensure that existing infrastructure and the community are
not negatively impacted by a data center development. Section 17.47 of the Municipal Code,
which covers special exceptions, states that the Plan Commission may recommend to the
Common Council appropriate additional conditions as deemed necessary for a special
exception to be approved.
Motion by Thiele, seconded by Antoine to review and recommend approval to Common
Council.
All members voted aye.
Motion carried.
b. Extraterritorial CSM Review – Parcels 200021800, 200021801, 200021802, and
200021803.
Troy Hewitt, agent, has submitted a certified survey map on behalf of North Kaukauna Storage
Units LLC, owner, to create two lots from parcels 200021800, 200021801, 200021802, and
200021803 in the Town of Vandenbroek. This request to combine four parcels into two parcels
is for the facilitation of a storage unit development. These parcels fall within the extraterritorial
review area of the City of Kaukauna, which is why the CSM is being brought before the
Legislative Committee. They are located just to the west of Commerce Crossing, the City’s
professional business park, on Evergreen Drive. Per the City’s future land use map, this area
was planned to be used as public land, but there are no plans for annexation soon.
Motion by Antoine, seconded by Schumacher to recommend approval of this CSM to the
Common Council.
All members voted aye.
Motion carried.
c. Preliminary Resolution Concrete Street Paving 2026.
The preliminary resolution concrete street paving 2026 will go to common council for final
review.
Motion by Thiele, seconded by Schumacher to recommend approval of the preliminary
resolution concrete street paving 2026 to the Common Council.
All members voted aye.
Motion carried.
3. Adjourn.
Motion by Antoine, seconded by Schumacher to adjourn.
All members voted aye.
Motion carried.
Meeting adjourned at 6:36 p.m.
