Committee approves amended rezoning to keep 37 acres as open space on Brander parcel
Summary
After a public hearing, the committee approved a town-board‑agreed amendment to allow two five‑acre home sites and place the remaining 37 acres of the Brander tract into Ag Open Space to limit future splits.
The Marquette County Planning and Zoning Committee approved an amended rezoning request for the Brander property following a public hearing and staff presentation.
Staff described a town-board amendment that would allow two five‑acre building sites on a 47‑acre property while designating the remaining roughly 37 acres as Ag Open Space (a 20‑acre minimum district), a change intended to restrict additional future lot splits. Applicant Roger (Brander) appeared online and described the plan: “We purchased a property about a year ago. 47 acres in total ... Our intent is to keep that 37 acres as woods, keep it in a family, put it in a trust and keep it forever in our family,” he said.
Committee members moved and seconded the motion to approve the rezoning as amended (the motion was described as approval of the town-level amendment forwarded to the county board). The committee voted in favor and closed the hearing. The action advances the amendment to the county board for final resolution as part of the county's rezoning process.
