Waupaca County approves Larrabee zoning change over one dissent
Summary
The county board approved Petition Z‑014‑2025 to rezone about 11.5 acres in the Town of Larrabee from Agriculture & Woodland Transition (AWT) to Rural Commercial‑Neighborhood (RC‑N); the Planning & Zoning Committee recommended approval and the board vote was 21‑1.
The Waupaca County Board of Supervisors on Nov. 12 approved a zoning map amendment (Z‑014‑2025) to rezone roughly 11.5 acres in the Town of Larrabee from Agriculture & Woodland Transition (AWT) to Rural Commercial‑Neighborhood (RC‑N).
Petitioner James B. Walton requested the change for land described in the SE¼ of the SW¼ of Section 6, between Buckbee Road and U.S. Highway 45 (Fire Number N11658; parcels 10‑06‑34‑4 and 10‑07‑21‑4). The Planning & Zoning Committee held a public hearing on Nov. 6, 2025, and recommended granting the petition, noting that the Town of Larrabee approved the request and that it is consistent with the town’s comprehensive plan.
At the county board meeting, the ordinance was approved by motion; the roll call recorded 21 votes in favor and 1 against. The ordinance takes effect upon filing the required town approval or after the statutory waiting period if no disapproval is filed.
The amendment changes the parcel’s zoning designation from PVRF or AWT classification to permit Rural Commercial‑Neighborhood uses, as specified in the petition and committee recommendation. The Planning & Zoning Committee’s signed recommendation is on record with the county clerk.
