Purpose

Resolution to deny a proposed rezone petition 14-2023

Background

Clayton Yoder owns property in the NW ¼, NE ¼, Section 35, T11N, R4E, Town of Westfield, and has requested a map amendment (rezoning) of property legally described pursuant to petition 14-2023 from an Exclusive Agriculture zoning district to an Agriculture zoning district.  The intent of the map amendment (rezoning) is to allow the property owner to apply for a permit for a kennel.

Pursuant to Wis. Stat. §59.69(5) Sauk County has the authority to develop, adopt, and amend a zoning ordinance.  A public hearing held by the Land Resources and Environment (LRE) Committee on November 28, 2023. On December 14, 2023  the LRE Committee made findings pursuant to Sauk County Code of Ordinance §7.150(9) and recommended denial rezone petition 14-2023.

The Land Resources and Environment Committee, being fully informed of the facts and after full consideration of the matter, made the following findings and recommendation, which the Sauk County Board of Supervisors has determined are reasonable. The Land Resources and Environment Committee reviewed §7.150(9) of the Sauk County Zoning Ordinance. The Committee concluded the following:

  1. The uses permitted by the proposed map amendment (rezoning) are not appropriate for the area.
  2. The land is not better suited for a use not allowed in the exclusive agriculture district.
