Planning commission backs two‑lot subdivision; developer to host data‑center open house
Summary
The planning commission unanimously recommended a zone change to allow a two‑lot subdivision near Redwing Lake; the county noted a developer‑sponsored open house on April 16 for a pending data center petition where state energy and natural resources staff are expected to attend.
The Lake County planning commission recommended approval of a zone change from A1 to rural residential to allow a two‑lot subdivision on about 15 acres west of Redwing Lake.
Sarah, representing the planning commission, told the council the commission's vote was 9–0 (the agenda incorrectly listed a 5–1 result). She said the change would create two large residential lots and that the commission recommended the council adopt the zoning update.
Separately, county staff announced a developer‑hosted open house on April 16 at L High School from 6 to 9 p.m. to discuss a pending data‑center petition. The developer will host state energy and natural‑resources agency representatives and other officials to answer citizen questions. The county stressed the event is developer‑sponsored, not a county public meeting, and encouraged residents to attend to learn more.
Council members noted strong public interest in the data center proposal and the emotional nature of some local responses; staff said they would help facilitate questions at the developer event but would not sponsor it.
The council did not take a final zoning vote during the discussion; staff said the item would follow the usual review and adoption steps.
