Waupaca County adopts amendments to public health, shoreland, zoning, subdivision and sanitary codes

Waupaca County supervisors on June 18 approved a package of amendments to the county code, adopting revisions to five chapters affecting public health, shoreland protection, zoning, subdivision, and sanitary regulation.

Public Health Officer Jed Wohlt reviewed proposed changes to Chapter 52 (Public Health); Supervisor Kraeger moved adoption and Supervisor Pete Bosquez seconded. The board voted 24-0 to approve the amendments to Chapter 52.

Ryan Brown reviewed proposed updates to several land-use chapters. The board approved revisions to Chapter 32 (Shoreland Protection) on a 24-0 vote after Supervisor Bosquez moved and Supervisor Miller seconded. Revisions to Chapter 34 (Zoning) were approved 24-0 after a motion from Supervisor Wengelski and a second from Supervisor Federwitz. Revisions to the Subdivision Ordinance were presented as Chapter 37 and adopted 24-0 on a motion from Supervisor Tom Johnson and a second from Supervisor Hardy. The record contains a transcript line that incorrectly refers to Chapter 34 in the Subdivision item; the committee header and ordinance title identify this item as Chapter 37. Finally, amendments to Chapter 35 (Sanitary) were reviewed and adopted 24-0 on a motion from Supervisor Strey-Hirt and a second from Supervisor Tom Johnson.

The meeting minutes record the committee reviews and unanimous board votes but do not include detailed ordinance language or implementation timelines in the minutes; those details are recorded in the ordinance filings and committee materials held with the county clerk.
