Commission approves multiple plats and adopts a Planning & Zoning workflow policy
Summary
The commission approved two Sandy Beach subdivision plats, two outlot plats and a new Ward County workflow policy for variance/SUP/CUP/subdivision and zone-change applications.
Ward County commissioners on May 6, 2025, approved a series of plat applications and adopted a county policy on workflow for planning and zoning applications.
Why it matters: Plat approvals and a standardized workflow affect land use, property boundaries and the process for future variance, conditional-use permit (CUP) and subdivision applications in Ward County.
The Board approved subdivision plats filed by John and Nicole Carlson for Sandy Beach 5th Addition and Sandy Beach 6th Addition to Rice Lake after public hearings and recommendations from the township, Planning Commission, Water Board and Highway Department. The minutes record no public objections for those items and show motions closing the hearings and approving the plats with unanimous roll-call votes.
The Board also approved an outlot plat from Ryan Plesuk for Outlot 1 in Greely Township and two outlot plats from Amber Rademacher (Outlot 3 and Outlot 4 in St. Mary’s Township). In addition, Beth Pietsch, Planning Administrator, presented a proposed Ward County policy to create a standard workflow for Variance/SUP/CUP-Subdivision and Zone Change applications; the commission approved the policy as presented.
The minutes document approvals based on findings of fact and staff recommendations. The record does not include the full text of the workflow policy or specific plat drawings; applicants and their townships were noted as recommending approval.
