Oneida County Planning & Development Committee advances zoning amendment, keeps parking rules and extends permit review
Summary
At its April 29 meeting the committee held a public hearing on Ordinance Amendment #13-2025 (no public comments), voted to send the amendment into resolution format for further committee review, retained Section 9.77 on off-street parking as written, extended a Conditional Use Permit review by 60 days, approved a $344 refund, and elected Dan Hess as vice chair.
The Oneida County Planning & Development Committee met April 29 in Rhinelander and moved multiple administrative and zoning items forward.
Public hearing and ordinance amendment: Planning & Zoning Director Karl Jennrich read proposed changes to Ordinance Amendment #13-2025 (amending Chapter 9 sections 9.37, 9.82 and 9.58 of the Oneida County Zoning and Shoreland Protection Ordinance). The notice and proof of publication were read into the record; the minutes state no public comments were received during the hearing. The committee voted (motion by Dan Hess, second by Bob Almekinder) to approve the amendment for formatting into a resolution and to bring it back for committee review. The meeting record states: "Motion by Dan Hess, second by Bob Almekinder, to approve and put into resolution format to bring back to the committee for review. With all members present voting 'Aye,' the motion carried."
Parking rules: After staff presented research and read responses from five towns, the committee voted (motion by Billy Fried, second by Dan Hess) to leave Section 9.77 (Off-Street Parking and Loading Space) as written.
Conditional Use Permit review extension: The committee considered a Conditional Use Permit application for 103 Elm Street LLC (Section 9.42(C)(1)) and voted (motion by Dan Hess, second by Bob Almekinder) to extend the county review time for the application by 60 days.
Other actions: The committee approved a refund request for $344.00 (motion by Dan Hess, second by Bob Almekinder) and elected Dan Hess as vice chair (unanimous). The meeting adjourned at 1:39 p.m.
