Departmental Update: Planning & Zoning

Discussion on attendance at Agriculture Community Engagement seminar at the Kalahari in the Wisconsin Dells. Discussion on if it needs to go to County Board. It does not need to go to County Board at this time. Gaalswyk wants to go as well. Motion to approve attendance by Lehman and Gaalswyk by Nobs, second by Gaalswyk. Motion carried.

Discussion on a Planned Unit Development for Larry and Cheryl Lenerz in the Town of Honey Creek. Lenerz is selling a development right to the neighbor to develop a small, saleable lot. Motion by Gaalswyk, second by Halfen to approve. Motion carried 4 – 0.

Discussion on changes to Sauk Co. Code chapter 7 regarding nonmetallic mining. There was consensus to go forward with the one acre exemption change, but there is still discussion on allowing nonmetallic mining through special exception without the rezone. The discussion focused on having to rezone as a method to keep the locals informed. This item needs to be on the next committee agenda for further discussion.

Discussion on overruns to the Board of Adjustment budget. The BOA budget is over $2700 due to the lack of revenues. Expenses were cut due to the lack of hearings and a refund for workers compensation came through, but still the budget is short. Steward also met with Finance this morning regarding this matter. Contingency will be requested to balance out this budget.

Steward informed the committee that continuing appropriation money (carryforward) will be used in the Planning and Zoning budget to offset the expenses occurred. Originally budgeted to use $40,000, we will only need to use $35,000.

Discussion on resolution for a DNR Lake Management Grant. Steward presented the process and informed the committee that we received a grant in 2010. This grant will piggy back the other one and enhance our educational and public outreach efforts for the rewrite of Chapter 8, the Shoreland Ordinance. The resolution was not included in the packet. Motion by Halfen, second by Gaalswyk to approve. Motion carried 3 – 1. New version of the resolution will be in the Planning and Zoning Department after the meeting for signatures.

Next agenda items include chapter 7 ordinance changes as they relate to nonmetallic mining. Discussion on merger of Planning and Zoning with Land Conservation and possible joint meetings.

Meeting with Exclusive Ag Towns to be held on march 3 at 7pm.

Motion by Gaalswyk, seconded by Halfen to adjourn.

Next meeting date: February 22, 2011.

Respectfully submitted,

Joel Gaalswyk
