Council suspends rules and approves Bell Farm update to allow active outdoor recreation on four parcels
Summary
On a motion that suspended the usual reading requirement, the council approved an amendment to the Bell Farm general development plan to permit active outdoor recreation on four parcels; the item came to council with unanimous plan-commission support.
The Middleton Common Council voted to amend the Bell Farm general development plan to allow active outdoor recreation on four parcels, moving the ordinance forward after suspending the normal first-reading requirement.
Alder Schafer moved to adopt the amendment, and the council voted to "suspend the rules" so the item could proceed to a second-reading vote at the same meeting; the chair noted the amendment had unanimous support from the Plan Commission. The council then approved the second-reading vote by voice vote.
The action changes the allowable uses in the Bell Farm general development plan for the identified parcels to include active outdoor recreational uses. The transcript records procedural motioning and approval, but does not include details on specific recreational facilities or funding for construction; the plan-commission support was noted by the mover.
