Pizza Joint, Aurora .. WFB grab-bag

Aurora, Election, Redevelopment, Silver Spring

Just a few quick items that may have slipped under the rug during the election frenzy.

The Plan Commission will have an interesting April 29th meeting. Two items:

• Sal's Pizza (of Cedarburg) is interested in opening up in the old Ciao Café spot.  This is good news, it's always good to have a pizza joint on the block.  Dine in/Take Out/Delivery. 
  
  
• Aurora Health Care is renewing its application to start a medical clinic in the old Talbot's / Famous Footwear location.    Here's where the fun starts.  As I've written a number of times Silver Spring needs a home run on that property, and Aurora isn't it.   One would hope the Plan Commission will squint at the zoning regs and come up with a reason to send AHC somewhere else. 
  
  Let's hope they read "That the establishment of the conditional use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district." and apply it with some imagination of what could be there.

The Plan Commission meets on Tuesday, April 29th, 7pm, at the Village Hall.

And .. after months of working on it .. Whitefish Bay finally has a new website.  Looks pretty good.  Needs more content here and there, but it's far better than the old one.  I hope the Village uses this new site to deliver more information about what is happening in the Village. 

If you want all the election results .. here's the official report in PDF format.  It doesn't list write-in candidates, though, so I asked the Village.  The write-in candidate for School Board got 172 votes to the incumbents' 2200+ votes. 

UPDATE: Note, the Plan Commission meeting WAS April 15th.  It is now scheduled on April 29th due to a public meeting notice snafu.
