Highlights from theJanuary 12, 2026 Greenville Village Board Meeting found at: https://www.townofgreenville.com/government/agendas_and_minutes.php
The Greenville Village Board addressed a heavy agenda this Monday, headlined by significant decisions on local zoning, a major airport expansion proposal, and the future mapping of village roads. While the Board moved forward on several infrastructure contracts and municipal appointments, it opted for a cautious approach toward the Appleton Airport’s rezoning request and denied a proposed amendment to the village’s general zoning ordinance.
Zoning and Land Use Decisions
Land use was a primary focus of the session, with several high-profile ordinances up for consideration.
- Ordinance 1-26 (Zoning Amendments): The Board voted unanimously (5-0) to deny Ordinance 1-26, which proposed various amendments to Chapter 320 of the Zoning Ordinance. The denial followed public comments from residents regarding architectural standards and roof heights.
- Appleton Airport Rezoning: A proposal to rezone several parcels from General Agricultural District (AGD) to Airport District (AIR) for the Appleton Airport was met with hesitation. After an initial motion to deny the request failed for lack of a second, the Board voted 4-1 to postpone action on the ordinance.
- Reaffirming AGD Classification: In a significant “Unfinished Business” item, the Board voted 5-0 to approve Ordinance 3-26. This action reaffirms the Agricultural zoning of two specific tax parcels and upholds a previous denial (Ordinance 7-24) to rezone the land for residential (R-1) use.
Infrastructure and Future Planning
The Board took active steps regarding road expansions and utility studies to accommodate village growth.
- Official Road Mapping: Following discussion on the extension of CTH CB, the Board directed staff to map a future village road. The plan includes a 140-foot wide road from the CTH CB extension to Capital Drive, and an 80-foot wide extension from Capital Drive to the west.
- Crestview Water Study: Rather than moving immediately with a specific engineering firm, the Board voted unanimously to direct staff to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a comprehensive water study of the Crestview area.
- Housing Reports: The Board accepted the 2025 Housing Affordability and Housing Fee Reports, though they mandated an amendment to the reports’ maps to exclude the mapping of CTH CB.
Financial Approvals and Contracts
Several major payments and contracts were authorized to keep ongoing village projects on track:
- Village Hall Remodel: A payment of $111,990.75 was approved for Cardinal Construction.
- Design Drive Extension: The Board approved a payment of $264,412.72 to MCC, Inc.
- Sanitary Sewer Relay: A contract for the STH 76 Sanitary Sewer Relay was awarded to Feaker & Sons Co., Inc. for $198,886.70.
- Legal Services: The Board approved an RFQ for Legal Services, extending the deadline to March 2nd to allow for more applicants.
Appointments and Personnel
- Fire Commission: Robert Johnson, whose background includes military experience, was unanimously appointed to the Board of Fire Commissioners to fill a term expiring in April 2028.
- Administrator Review: The Board spent nearly two hours in a closed session to conduct the Village Administrator’s performance review, reconvening in open session at 10:14 PM with no further action taken.
The next regular Village Board meeting is scheduled for February 9, 2026.
