The Waupaca County Board of Supervisors approved four zoning map amendments during its Aug. 17, 2021 meeting, each recommended by the Planning & Zoning Committee after public hearings and town approval.

Petition Z-018-21 (Town of Larrabee), filed by Lynn & Bette Jepson Revocable Trust, rezoned roughly 2.0 acres from Agriculture Retention (AR) to Agriculture and Woodland Transition (AWT) to allow a boundary-line adjustment along Kratzke Road. The committee cited Town of Larrabee approval and consistency with the town comprehensive plan; Supervisor James Nygaard moved approval and Supervisor Fred Zaug seconded. The motion carried 27-0 and the county clerk certified enactment.

Petition Z-019-21 (Town of Bear Creek), filed by Jonathon G. & Jan M. Henschel, rezoned about 2.0 acres from Agriculture Retention (AR) to Rural Residential Overlay (RRO). The property lies in a Farmland Preservation area and will use one development right to create the two-acre lot. The committee recommended granting the petition; Supervisor Rohan moved approval and Supervisor Lehrer seconded; the motion carried 27-0.

Petition Z-020-21 (Town of Bear Creek), filed by Anna Schneidewend, rezoned portions of AR and Agriculture Enterprise (AE) to RRO for approximately 2.0 acres (using one development right in the Farmland Preservation area). The Planning & Zoning Committee recommended approval. Supervisor Kussmann moved the ordinance amendment and Supervisor G. Murphy seconded; the motion carried 27-0 and the county clerk certified enactment.

Petition Z-021-21 (Town of Lind), filed by Scott Hauke & Janice Priebusch, rezoned roughly 9.49 acres from Private Recreation and Forestry (PVRF) to Agriculture Enterprise (AE) to facilitate a boundary-line adjustment. The committee and Town of Lind supported the change; Supervisor Golding moved approval and Supervisor Hardy seconded; motion carried 27-0 and county clerk certification followed.

Each ordinance contains the statutory filing language: the ordinance becomes effective in the applicable town upon filing with the county clerk a certified copy of a town-board resolution approving the amendment or 40 days after county-board adoption unless a certified resolution disapproving the amendment is filed with the county clerk within 10 days.

All four petitions were recorded as granted by the Planning & Zoning Committee at its July 27, 2021 meeting and then enacted by the county board on Aug. 17, 2021.
