Buffalo County approves rezoning of Poulson/Landis property to commercial
Summary
After a public hearing and an 8–0 Planning & Zoning recommendation, the Buffalo County Board of Commissioners approved a zoning map amendment to reclassify roughly 1.51 acres near Dennis Administrative Subdivision from Agricultural–Residential to Commercial (Resolution 2022-42).
The Buffalo County Board of Commissioners on Oct. 11 approved a zoning map amendment that rezones approximately 1.51 acres (about 0.09 acres currently used for road purposes) from Agricultural–Residential to Commercial for property associated with Justin and Kristina Landis.
Zoning Administrator Dennise Daniels and registered land surveyor Mitch Humphrey presented the application filed on behalf of James Poulson and the Poulson Family Limited Partnership. No members of the public spoke in opposition during the hearing, and the board closed the public comment period before voting. Commissioner Ronald Loeffelholz moved to approve the amendment and Commissioner Myron Kouba seconded; the motion passed with all members voting Aye.
The board adopted findings in Resolution 2022-42 that the change is consistent with the county comprehensive plan, would have minimal adverse impact on surrounding properties, and is situated near existing utilities and all-weather roads so it should not impose additional public costs. The resolution directs the County Clerk to file a copy in the Register of Deeds and to amend the Buffalo County zoning district map.
Dennise Daniels also presented correspondence from Lotis Environmental Group about a nearby telecommunication proposal known as the Boot Hill project; the board voted to consult the Buffalo County Sheriff’s office and the Village of Amherst and tabled any formal county comment until its Oct. 25 meeting.
The zoning amendment follows an Sept. 15 Planning & Zoning Commission recommendation in favor by an 8–0 vote. The board’s action on Oct. 11 completes the county-level rezoning process required before any site-specific commercial permitting or additional land-use reviews.
