On April 3 the Village Board approved Resolution 2025-21, granting a special exemption that will allow property owner Steve Schuster to apply for burn permits at 7585 Glen Road (DeForest, WI 53532) despite the property’s CR Countryside Residential zoning. Trustees discussed that prior exemptions had allowed up to four burns over a 12-month period provided compliance with rules.
