At their May 6th meeting, the Council approved a request made by the owner of the Burger King to amend the legally defined area within the B-1 General Commercial District to include the entire lot where the restaurant is located. Currently only the north half of the lot is in the legally defined area. This change will allow the owner to demolish the existing building and construct a new restaurant on the same site. A public meeting was held at the beginning of the evening’s Council meeting. Ben Warntjes spoke on behalf of Cave Enterprises and stated that the owner wishes to refresh the property. The parking lot will be redone, and an exterior playground added.
With the recent changes made by Dunn County to add designated ATV routes on adjacent county highways and town roads, at the April 14th Council Meeting, the Council requested that additional designated ATV routes within the city be prepared for review.
Proposed map
The Council directed city staff to prepare a draft ordinance amending City Code 6-1-12 based on the proposed designated ATV route map. A draft ordinance could possibly be introduced at the May 20 council meeting. The Council approved the existing ATV routes in February 2022.
