Committee discusses Chapter 9 ordinance changes and refers building‑height rule to public hearing
Summary
Planning staff reviewed proposed edits to Chapter 9 (including Ordinance Amendment #13‑2025 and #12‑2024); the committee instructed staff to revise texts for later review and voted to send proposed building‑height restrictions (Article 7 §9.72) to a public hearing. No substantive votes were recorded on the other amendments.
At its March 4 meeting the Oneida County Planning and Development Committee discussed multiple proposed changes to Chapter 9 of the county Zoning and Shoreland Protection Ordinance and referred a proposed building‑height restriction amendment to public hearing.
Planning Director Karl Jennrich and Assistant Director Todd Troskey outlined updates to Ordinance Amendment #13‑2025 (Article 3 §9.37 and Article 8 §9.82) and Ordinance Amendment #12‑2024 (zoning permit requirements and exceptions). The committee conferred with Corporation Counsel Chad Lynch and directed staff to implement the discussed edits and return a redraft for future review. No formal action was taken on the two ordinance amendments at this meeting.
On building height restrictions (Chapter 9, Article 7 §9.72), staff presented additional information requested at a prior meeting. The committee voted to send the building‑height revision to a public hearing (motion by Bob Almekinder; second Mitchell Ives; unanimous).
Other items discussed included retroactive tourist rooming house (TRH) administrative review permits (the committee declined further action at this time) and a proposed boat‑parking area on state property (staff has sent a formal letter to the DNR; further discussion with DNR anticipated).
What comes next: staff will return revised ordinance language for review after incorporating the committee’s guidance; the building‑height changes will go to public hearing per the committee vote.
