New 48-Apartment Complex Proposed For Howell Ave.

OAK CREEK, WI -- Officials in Oak Creek are considering a plan by a developer to build a new apartment complex along Howell Ave.

Called Howell Avenue Lofts, the complex is proposed for two parcels of land at 7266 and 7328 S. Howell Ave. in a 5.3-acre stretch of land just south of Rawson Ave.

According to Oak Creek plan commission documents, Howell Avenue Lofts will consist of 48 apartment units in three stories. Of the total, 38 units would have two bedrooms, and 10 units would have three bedrooms.

Plan commission documents indicate that the details of the complex are still in flux on account of a number of revisions that need to be made in order to comply with local land-use ordinances.

According to plan commission documents, plans for Howell Avenue Lofts need to be revised so that the buildings take up no more than half of the lot area, and that the garage structures aren't built closer to Howell Ave. than the apartments themselves.

According to city documents, the plans will next come up for review on Nov. 27 during the next plan commission meeting.
