Summary

A Winnebago County deliberative meeting approved two parcel applications: one in the Town of Black Wolf (Ben Kossel) and one in the Town of Algoma (Randy Stafford). Staff recommended approval for both; the Algoma approval included conditions on permits and a county review of holding tanks for DSPS compliance.

The chair called a Winnebago County deliberative meeting to order and the panel approved two separate parcel applications by voice vote.

The first item was an application from Ben Kossel for parcels 38004-0545 and 004-0539, a lot south and west of 7197 South on U.S. Highway 45 in Oshkosh in the Town of Black Wolf. A county staff member read the staff report saying Chapters 23 and 27 were the applicable ordinances, the Town of Black Wolf’s approval is advisory under shoreland jurisdiction, the town found the proposal consistent with its adopted land-use plan and compatible with adjacent uses, and staff recommended approval. The chair moved to approve the recommendation; after an oral second (not named in the record) members responded “Aye,” and the chair announced the motion carried by voice vote.

The second item was an application from Randy Stafford for parcel ID 002-0185-03 at 4237 State Road 21 in Oshkosh, Town of Algoma. County staff read the Town of Algoma’s findings and recommended approval with conditions. The town’s requested conditions require that all building permits and sanitary permits be obtained and maintained through project completion. County conditions included contacting the Winnebago County Zoning Department to evaluate holding tanks for compliance with DSPS 383 and 391, and requiring that any future expansions or changes to the planned development district (PDD), including accessory structures, be reviewed and approved by the Winnebago County Zoning Department. The record shows a motion, a second (movers not named), a voice “Aye” vote and the chair’s announcement that the motion carried.

Both approvals were announced as carried by voice vote; the transcript does not record individual roll-call tallies or identify who seconded the motions. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn that carried by voice vote.
