Plan Commission recommends Providence Farms final plat for village board approval
Summary
The Plan Commission voted to recommend approval of the Providence Farms final plat in the village—xtraterritorial jurisdiction on Swaboda Road, subject to four written conditions and pending county approvals for well and septic systems.
The Plan Commission voted to recommend approval of the Providence Farms final plat for property on Swaboda Road in the village—xtraterritorial jurisdiction, subject to four written conditions and any outstanding county approvals.
The recommendation moves the project forward after the commission found the final plat largely consistent with the preliminary plat previously approved by the village board. Oren, a remote staff member, said the final plat "is substantially consistent with what was approved for the preliminary plat" and that petitioner responses had addressed village engineer comments.
Why it matters: final-plat approval by the village board would clear the next procedural step toward recording lots and issuing permits; the recommendation includes conditions tied to access and health approvals that Walworth County must verify.
At the meeting the commission discussed three spelled-out conditions: the town and Walworth County must verify that lots 1, 2 and 5 have legal access and otherwise comply with zoning requirements; standard language requiring that all comments and concerns be addressed; and a requirement that the petitioner obtain all necessary approvals and satisfy comments, conditions and concerns of the Walworth County Land Use and Resource Management Department for well and septic systems. The staff member said the county had approved the preliminary plat but that county minutes from the relevant meeting were not yet available.
A commissioner moved to recommend the final plat for William H. Berkey and Pamela Berkey (listed in the packet as P E T 3 1 0 0 0 0 7) to the village board "subject to the 4 conditions, written." The motion was seconded and the commission voted in favor; the motion carried with no recorded opposition.
President Johnson noted that "since the only people in the audience are our applicants, I'm gonna skip citizen participation." The commission scheduled its next meeting for April 14 at 6:30 p.m., according to the meeting record.
Votes at a glance: the commission approved a single recommendation motion to the village board to accept the Providence Farms final plat subject to four written conditions; the vote was recorded as "Aye" with no recorded nays.
