New home construction at Buena Vista Avenue and Pewaukee Road
Waukesha
Summary
A vacant, city-owned triangular lot near City Hall will finally get a house. The Markwardts needed a variance to build 10 feet from Buena Vista Avenue instead of 25, because the odd-shaped lot leaves little room. Board members said a new home there helps neighborhood property values.
