Waupaca County adopts zoning and floodplain ordinance changes, approves two rezoning petitions
Summary
The County Board approved amendments to the zoning ordinance (Chapter 34) and floodplain ordinance (Chapter 36) and granted two rezoning petitions in Matteson and Little Wolf towns; Chapter 34 passed 25‑1 and other items passed unanimously, effective per statute and local filing requirements.
Waupaca County supervisors on June 20, 2023 adopted changes to the county zoning ordinance (Chapter 34) and the county floodplain ordinance (Chapter 36) and approved two separate zoning map amendments for the towns of Matteson and Little Wolf.
The Board approved a package of amendments to Chapter 34 that revised objectives and multiple sections including visual clearance rules and tables 4.0, 5.0 and 5.1; the Planning & Zoning Committee recommended the changes. That motion passed 25‑1. The Board separately adopted amendments to Chapter 36, adding language to Sections 1.5(4) and 1.5(5); that motion passed 26‑0.
The board also approved Petition Z‑008‑2023 (Town of Matteson), a request by Jesse J. and Savannah L. Krueger to rezone approximately 2.74 acres from Agriculture Retention (AR) to Rural Residential‑Overlay (RR‑O); the Planning & Zoning Committee recommended approval on June 13, 2023, noting the Town of Matteson had approved the request and found it consistent with the town comprehensive plan. The County Clerk, Kristy Opperman, certified the enactment.
Similarly, the board granted Petition Z‑009‑2023 (Town of Little Wolf) to rezone roughly 6.192 acres owned by Rodney R. and Jacqueline J. Beyer from Agriculture Enterprise (AE) to Rural Residential‑Overlay (RR‑O). The Planning & Zoning Committee recommended approval, again noting town approval and comprehensive‑plan consistency. Both petition votes were recorded as 26‑0.
Meeting text ties these enactments to statutory filing and effective date rules: the ordinances become effective upon approval by the Planning & Zoning Committee and enactment by the County Board and, where required, following the filing or the lapse of time described in Wis. Stat. §59.69(5)(e). The transcript does not include the full amended ordinance language beyond summary descriptions or list monetary or permit conditions tied to the rezonings.
James Nygaard is identified in the record as Chairman of the Planning & Zoning Committee; Kristy Opperman, County Clerk, certified the zoning amendment enactments. The meeting record does not show public comment for these items in the portions of the transcript provided.
