Wisconsin Ave. plan decision to be postponed

Due to an overwhelmingly long agenda of public hearings, the Whitefish Planning Board will delay a decision on the proposed Wisconsin Avenue Corridor Plan until its Feb. 15 meeting.

Because the public hearing for the Wisconsin Avenue plan was legally advertised for Jan. 18, the planning staff has recommended the Planning Board open the public hearing and take comments from those who want to give input. The hearing would be continued to the Feb. 15 meeting, at which time the board would discuss the corridor plan and make a recommendation to the Whitefish City Council, which has the final say.

At the Feb. 15 public hearing, the planning staff will make a formal presentation on the Wisconsin Avenue Corridor Plan and the Planning Board again would take public comments, according to Planning Director Dave Taylor.

A public hearing on Whitefish 57 LLC’s proposal for a 70-acre neighborhood plan on U.S. 93 South also will be continued to the Feb. 15 meeting at the request of the applicant.
