Committee approves map amendment, rezoning and certified survey map for Markiewicz parcel in Town of Paris
Summary
Kenosha County PDEEC voted June 10 to amend the county land use map, approve rezoning and conditionally approve a Certified Survey Map to divide the Markiewicz parcel in the Town of Paris; approvals included detailed conditions for wetland protection, sanitary requirements and survey revisions.
Kenosha County’s Planning, Development & Extension Education Committee on June 10 approved a series of land‑use actions for a parcel owned by Robert S. and Angeline K. Markiewicz in the Town of Paris, recommending a comprehensive plan amendment, rezoning to allow rural‑density residential uses and conditionally approving a Certified Survey Map to divide the property.
Division Director Andy M. Buehler presented the item; owners Robert and Angeline Markiewicz and their agent, Chris Bower, attended to answer questions. The committee voted to recommend the map amendment that adds a Rural‑Density Residential designation to the parcel on County comprehensive plan map 65. Supervisors approved rezoning to a combination of A‑1 Agricultural Preservation, R‑1 Rural Residential, C‑1 Lowland Resource Conservancy and a PUD overlay as proposed.
A Certified Survey Map submitted to split Tax Parcel #45‑4‑221‑052‑0300 into a 42.824‑acre lot and a 5.000‑acre lot was conditionally approved. Conditions include: compliance with any Town of Paris conditions; locating and labeling soil boring sites; adding the shoreland boundary to the CSM; identifying owners of adjacent unplatted lands; revising zoning notes to reflect exact zoning for Lots 1 and 2; adding a restriction prohibiting filling, excavation, or construction within delineated wetland areas; and meeting all requirements of Chapter 15 of the Kenosha County Sanitary Code and SPS 383 and SPS 385 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code. The committee also required the rezoning ordinance to be signed by the County Executive before the CSM is released for recording and requested an electronic copy of the revised CSM for county sign‑off prior to recordation.
Supervisor Sarah Kirby moved to approve and recommend the amendments and platting; Supervisor David Lux seconded. One roll‑call for a rezoning motion recorded votes as: Jeff Cologna — aye; Sarah Kirby — aye; David Lux — aye; Keith Gray — aye; Natasha Diercks — aye; Baya King — aye. Other related motions passed unanimously by members present, including Youth In Governance representatives.
The county staff contact for CSM electronic sign‑off is Luke Godshall (luke.godshall@kenoshacountywi.gov). The committee noted that failure to record the CSM within 12 months or to meet conditions will render approvals null and void and require resubmission.
The committee’s approvals allow the property owners to proceed to finalize survey and rezoning paperwork, subject to the enumerated technical and regulatory conditions. The rezoning and CSM now move to the County Board for final action where applicable.
