The Kenosha County Planning, Development & Extension Committee approved a rezoning and a certified survey map for a parcel in the Town of Wheatland owned by Scott and Anne Iverson, forwarding the ordinance to the County Board.

Committee staff described a request to rezone portions of tax parcel 9541190330106 from A-2 (general agricultural district) to R-2 (suburban single-family residential district) and to C-1 (Lowland Resource Conservancy District) for an area that appears on Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources wetland inventory maps. The C-1 designation was presented to reflect the inventory mapping rather than a formal delineation at this time.

Petitioner Scott A. Iverson said the proposal would create two approximately 1-acre residential lots "for building homes on it." He told the committee the rezoning does not require a comprehensive plan amendment because the requested zoning conforms to the county comprehensive plan and matches the town's 2010 plan. The Town of Wheatland considered the matter at its Aug. 25 meeting and voted to approve the rezoning and CSM.

Staff walked the committee through the CSM, which dedicates a roadway right-of-way and places a reservation on part of the parcel. One technical change requested by staff concerned the road right-of-way dedication language; staff asked that the note read that the area is "dedicated to the public for public road purposes." The surveyor will receive the committee's conditions and update the map for recording.

Earlier in the meeting the committee removed items 4 and 5 from the table and then considered the Iverson requests. Committee staff said that after County Board approval and County Executive signature on the rezone ordinance, and after the corrected survey is submitted and recorded with the $30 fee, the new lots will be created. The committee recorded the motion as passed; the meeting record does not provide a roll-call tally or the names of the motion mover and seconder.

The petitioner was told he need not attend the County Board presentation; the chair or vice chair will present the ordinance. Recording and ordinance-adoption steps remain as next actions.
