Canadian Sand and Proppant’s plan to build a sand processing plant in Chippewa Falls got the backing of the city council on Tuesday.
The council voted 5-2, with council members
Brian Flynn
and
Susan Zukowski
voting against
, to accept the recommendation of the city’s Plan Commission in granting a conditional use permit.
The permit allows Canadian Sand and Proppants Inc. to exceed the city’s building height limit of 60 feet.
City Clerk Lynne Bauer said four people spoke to the council in opposition to the processing plant.
Even if the council had turned down the commission’s recommendation, the decision to grant a permit would not have been reversed.
The decision whether to grant a permit is the commission’s.
The council did vote 5-2, with Zukowski and Flynn voting against, to approve spending up to
$8,000
on a developer’s agreement, which includes
bond documents
for the project.
