Brown County Commission approves six rezones at second reading; Ordinance 302 postponed
Summary
The Brown County Commission approved six rezones (Ordinances 3‑12 through 3‑17) by voice vote after no public comment; action on Ordinance 302 was postponed one week to allow review of final language.
The Brown County Commission on Jan. 4 approved six zoning changes at second reading and possible adoption, moving several properties into new districts and postponing action on a separate ordinance for further review.
Commission Chair S1 announced that Ordinance 302 would be postponed at least one week so interested parties could review final language. The body then considered a series of rezones. No members of the public spoke on the items when asked.
Ordinance 3‑12 was presented by S5 to rezone property filed by petitioners Tim and Judy Seach Sloan and Gerald and Kathy Golay from 'Egg Preservation District' to 'mini agriculture district.' S1 called for a motion; the commission approved the ordinance on a voice vote (motion by Weis, second by Dinger).
Subsequent rezones approved on second reading and carried by voice vote were: Ordinance 3‑13 (petition by Sub 30 Ventures LLC — Brent Divert and Brock Ball — from 'Agriculture Preservation District' to 'Lakefront District'); Ordinance 3‑14 (petitioner Michael Carroll, from 'Egg Preservation district' to 'lakefront residential district'); Ordinance 3‑15 (Vision Quest Real Estate LLC — Brad Meadian — from 'agriculture preservation district' to 'mini agriculture district'); Ordinance 3‑16 (petitioner c Atwood from 'Egg Preservation District' to 'Highway Commercial District'); and Ordinance 3‑17 (petitioner Paul Larson as recorded in the transcript).
Each item was moved, seconded and approved by a voice vote; the minutes do not record a roll‑call tally. The commission gave no additional discussion and recorded no public opposition on these items.
The commission chair said Ordinance 302 will be postponed so stakeholders have time to review revised language; no new date was finalized in the open record.
The meeting moved on to highway department business after the zoning items.
