The Planning Commission continued to discuss potential revisions of the Proposed Land Use Map H.1 specifically in regards to Section 24 (County Road YZ) as requested by the Town Board. Clerk/Treasurer Sara Olson shared the concerns of the adjacent landowner Kyle Levetzow that were presented during the Town Board meeting which were as follows: the mapped Rural Residential area abuts up to a quarry as well as being adjacent to a large dairy operation. The Town Planning Commission members discussed how this land was previously included in the 1995 mapped area as well as the Land Use Map – November 1st, 2005 and have previously done what was most advantageous to the property owners when looking at the mapping discrepancies. Kelly Blotz who spoke on behalf of Shirley Johnson who owns a majority of the mapped area had indicated that to their knowledge it had always been in the Rural Residential area and indicated several other areas that abut up to a quarry and felt the dairy operation is across the highway and shouldn’t be a concern. The Town Planning Commission members further discussed the concerns as well as what has previously been done in regards to these mapping discrepancies. Curt Peterson as well as Peter Vanderloo indicated that they were not in favor of it not being in the Rural Residential Area. Curt Peterson made a motion to reaffirm the recommendation to utilize Land Use Map H-1 2005 in Section 24 placing the land in the Rural Residential Area. Peter Vanderloo seconded the motion. Motion carried.

Krista Dolan made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 6:31 p.m. Mary Wilson seconded the motion. Motion carried.


Respectfully Submitted,

Sara Olson, Clerk/Treasurer
