Grant County APC recommends favorably on zoning petition for Hidden Lakes parcel
Summary
The Grant County Area Plan Commission voted unanimously April 6 to recommend approval of docket 012-26, a petition to reclassify a parcel adjacent to Hidden Lakes campground so the owners can merge it into the campground and build a permanent home; the recommendation will go to the county commissioners for final action.
The Grant County Area Plan Commission voted unanimously April 6 to forward a favorable recommendation on docket 012-26, a petition to change zoning on a parcel adjacent to Hidden Lakes campground so the owners can merge the frontage into the campground and build a permanent home.
The petitioners, recorded in the transcript as Mr. and Mrs. Ningham, told the commission they purchased Hidden Lakes about 11 years ago and want to relocate from Greenfield to the campground property and consolidate a nearby rectangle of land into the campground lot. Mr. Glansancy, planning staff, summarized maps showing an oddly shaped parcel with a long industrial history and said the owners seek flexibility for future plans.
During deliberation commissioners asked specific questions about existing farm buildings and driveways, what portions of the parcel would remain industrial and how the campground and private drives would interact. An unnamed surveyor told the commission a regulated ditch crosses the campground and recommended future work on drainage; petitioners said they had recently removed a beaver dam and were maintaining flow.
Commissioner Clayton Schultz moved for a favorable recommendation; Cindy Karens seconded. The commission conducted a roll-call vote and recorded unanimous approval by the members present (recorded as yes votes by Raven Bear, Cindy Karens, Jerry Codell, Gary Duckwall, Kale Gindle, Ed Hartman, Travis Lamaster, Karen Poland and Clayton Schultz). The motion carried.
Staff said they will certify the APC recommendation to the county commissioners and attempt to place the zoning change on a commissioners' agenda; petitioners were advised to attend that meeting. No final county action happened at the APC meeting; the APC's vote is a recommending action that must be approved by the county commissioners.
The APC also noted several clerical corrections to prior minutes at the start of the meeting and handled other procedural items before adjourning.
