The Mequon Common Council held a regular meeting on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, starting at 7:56 p.m. and adjourning at 9:28 p.m. The main agenda item was a public hearing and consideration of Ordinance 2026-1694, which proposed rezoning 107 acres near Baehr Road for an 87-lot single-family residential subdivision. After public testimony and council debate, the ordinance was approved by a 5–4 roll-call vote. The consent agenda and three resolutions were also approved unanimously. Consent Calendar - Architectural Board minutes (June 8), Common Council minutes (July 14), Festivals minutes (May 19, June 22), Finance-Personnel (June 9), Parks & Open Space (April 22, May 20), Planning Commission (June 22), Public Works (April 14), Sewer Utility (April 14, May 12), Tree Board (April 16) - Resolution 4301: Certified Survey Map for 8925 W. Mequon Road, accepting 5,069 sq. ft. right-of-way dedication. - Resolution 4302: Development agreement with P2 Development Company for Foxtown Townhomes II, 58-unit row house apartments Public Comments & Testimony (on agenda item) - Dan Armbrust (7146 W. Ridgeview Ct.) spoke in opposition, arguing the site retains industrial potential and past master plans preserved it for industry. He claimed legitimate industrial buyers were not considered. - Jackie Jansen (3333 W. Rivera Ct.) spoke in favor, comparing the project to the Loch Decour subdivision where she lives, stating high density has not hurt property values and the plan preserves open space and walkability. - Diane Kachelmeier (10258 N. Baehr Rd.) opposed, stating the mailed notice was misleading (advertising one-acre lots when the PUD allows 0.23 acre lots) and that the development would harm the rural character of Baehr Road. - Tom Jansen (11631 N. Grace Ct.), owner of JBJ Corporation, supported the development, noting no acceptable industrial offers were received over 25 years and previous proposals were denser. He asked the council to approve. - Dan Abbendroth submitted an email of opposition, read into the record by the City Attorney. Discussion Items Council members debated at length: - Opposition (Alds. Tolocko, Strzelczyk, Mayr, Bach) argued the density (minimum 10,000 sq. ft. lots, 0.23 acres) conflicts with city survey results showing resident preference for larger lots (half-acre to 1-acre). They noted the land had long been zoned industrial, Mequon has limited industrial land, and the plan would set a bad precedent. Some questioned the design (all forward-facing garages). - Support (Mayor Nerbun, Alds. Hansher, Parrish, Bratt, Gebhardt) cited the March 2026 Committee of the Whole straw poll where 6/9 members supported 10,000–13,000 sq. ft. lots; the developer followed that feedback. They argued the net density (107 acres ÷ 87 lots = 1.23 acres per lot when counting open space) is appropriate for a transitional area, comparable to subdivisions like Huntington Park. They warned rejecting the plan after encouraging changes could signal the city is closed for business. - Ald. Parrish initially undecided but voted aye, noting he supports residential if southwest industrial corner activated. - Tom Jansen (owner) gave final plea, saying the family paid $600,000+ in taxes for 35 years, and no industrial offers materialized; infrastructure exists. Key Outcomes - Ordinance 2026-1694: Motion to deny failed (4–5). Motion to approve passed 5–4 (Ayes: Nerbun, Hansher, Parrish, Bratt, Gebhardt; Nays: Strzelczyk, Tolocko, Mayr, Bach). - Consent Agenda: Approved by voice acclamation. - Resolutions 4303, 4304, 4305 all approved: - 4303: Reallocation of $182,500 ARPA funds (ARPA) funding, approved 8–0 roll call. - 4304: Contract to Advanced Technical, LLC for $147,544 for Wi-Fi, security cameras, keyless entry at Rotary Park and River Barn Park pavilions, approved 8–0. - 4305: Amending Financial Policy 3 and establishing Sewer Utility Reserve Requirements, approved by voice acclamation. - Closed Session: Council convened closed session (8–0) for legal advice on Guerrero v. Mequon litigation, then adjourned without further open action.

The applicant argued that development with stormwater management would improve water quality compared to current farming. - Water access: Discussion of extending Mequon city water (approximately two miles) was deemed cost-prohibitive (nearly $2 million) and outside the city's service area; any expansion would require PSC approval. - Amendment proposal: Alderman Parrish proposed a 2.5-acre minimum lot size for the southern section (red polygon on page 33 of the packet) to buffer the adjacent Saddlebrook Farms subdivision (5-acre lots).
