Rezoning for next phase of Mequon Town Center approved
By Erik S. Hanley
With residents divided over the issue and the possible threat of a lawsuit, the Mequon common council approved the rezoning of a portion of land for the second phase of the Town Center project.
The land, located adjacent to the Mequon Police Station off Mequon Road and on the opposite side of the railroad tracks as the current Town Center, was rezoned to Town Center with a planned unit development (PUD) and land use plan map. The 5-2 vote at the Sept. 13 common council meeting followed a public comment section with one resident, Rachel Kruse, mentioning the possibility of a lawsuit against the city and aldermen individually for "not doing their fiduciary responsibility" and suggesting the plan was done behind closed doors.
"We're not exactly sure what it's going to be, but we're changing zoning anyway," Kruse stated.
Resident Ruth Kantrowitz moved to Mequon because of the "small-town feel." She, too, felt the project had been worked on behind closed doors, and suggested the city pause to find out what the residents really want.
