The Barron County Board of Supervisors on May 19 voted to uphold the zoning committee’s recommendation to deny a rezoning application from Kevin P. and Robin C. Trapp.
Supervisor Guiselek moved to uphold the denial and Supervisor Jenkins seconded. Supervisors asked staff and zoning officials for clarification about shoreland zoning distinctions and the Land Use Ordinance; the county’s land services staff and zoning committee were identified as the sources for case‑specific guidance. Supervisor Patty Anderson said she abstained after contacting the board of adjustment’s former head to understand the denial and said she was concerned about housing shortage and suggested case‑by‑case consideration.
Supervisor Vaughn sought confirmation of the tally and the chair clarified that a “yes” vote upheld the denial. The motion carried by a roll call of 26 yes and three abstentions; no additional action was taken at the meeting and staff will follow the board’s direction consistent with the Land Use Ordinance and Board of Adjustment findings.
