At the same meeting the Sawyer County Zoning Committee approved several other land‑use items.

Rezone 25‑009: The committee approved a request by Gerald and Deborah Burris to rezone approximately 40.06 acres from Residential Recreational 2 to Agricultural 1 for hobby‑farm uses (two steer, a milk goat). The applicant described prior land‑use and a small barn; the town of Coudre recommended approval and the committee approved with findings.

CUP 25‑053 / R&P Earth & Forest: The committee held a public hearing and approved a reclamation plan covering a 25‑acre mine site, finding the plan consistent with NR 135 reclamation standards. The applicant, Randy Dennis, confirmed current and anticipated operations; financial assurance (bond) was noted as a required condition.

Final plat — Descopia (Toscopia) Woods: The committee approved the final plat for a 40‑acre Forestry 1 parcel to be subdivided (additional lots), after hearing local concerns about wildfire risk, forest fragmentation and town preapproval of special‑use permits. The committee cited the staff report and ordinance compliance in its action.

Ordinance amendment — citation deposits: Staff presented a redline to Chapter 1, Article 2, Section 9 to update statutory references and increase scheduled deposit amounts (proposed $100 across categories) and to clarify that court costs and surcharges are added to deposits. Most towns had reviewed the proposal; some towns recommended denial or modifications. After public comment the committee voted to forward the amendment to the County Board for ratification.

Next steps: Zoning staff will update records and forward ordinance amendments and CUP documentation to the appropriate recordkeeping and county‑board processes.
