Summary
The Rock County Board of Commissioners continued a public hearing Dec. 3 on AK Investments LLC’s application for hog barns, heard questions from the public and the applicant, and scheduled a decision for Dec. 17 at 1:00 p.m.
The Rock County Board of Commissioners continued a public hearing Dec. 3 on an application from AK Investments LLC to construct hog barns in Rock County.
Chairman Wade Hollenbeck moved the meeting to the county courtroom at 2:00 p.m. for the continued hearing. Commissioners Colby Sybrant and Faye Smith, County Attorney Kurt Arganbright, Zoning Administrator T.J. Ellermeier, Sheriff Ben Shelbourn and several members of the public attended. The transcript records that the applicant, Matt Klabanes, answered questions from the public and county officials during the hearing.
No final decision was made at the Dec. 3 session. The board closed the public hearing at 2:43 p.m. and set a decision date for Dec. 17, 2024 at 1:00 p.m., noting that a decision could not be made that day because the application decision was not on the published agenda.
The hearing was described in the minutes as a continued public hearing on the Nov. 6, 2024 matter. The record shows the board followed the Open Meetings Act posting requirements and that county staff and the applicant were present to respond to questions. The county attorney and zoning administrator were listed among attendees; no formal vote on the application was taken on Dec. 3.
Next steps: the board will reconvene on Dec. 17 at 1:00 p.m. to consider the application and issue a decision.
