Committee endorses rezoning in Brillion to allow home occupation
Summary
The committee voted unanimously to forward a map amendment request by Keith Finch to rezone 2.33 acres in the Town of Brillion from Exclusive Agricultural to Agricultural‑Residential to allow a home‑occupation business; staff and the town recommended approval contingent on required licenses.
Keith Finch requested a map amendment to rezone approximately 2.33 acres at W2481 Schmidt Road in the Town of Brillion from Exclusive Agricultural (EA) to Agricultural‑Residential (A‑R) so he can operate a home‑occupation business. Meuer, a staff member, told the committee the rezoning is consistent with Calumet County’s Comprehensive Plan and the Farmland Preservation Plan and that the Town of Brillion and staff approve the change with the condition that Finch obtain all necessary federal, state and local licenses.
Committee member Budde moved to forward the map amendment to the County Board with a recommendation for approval; committee member Kesler seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. No amendments or conditions beyond the licensing requirement were imposed by the committee during the meeting. The action will next be considered by the Calumet County Board.
Authorities referenced in the hearing included Section 82‑48(f) of the Calumet County Zoning Ordinance, the county Comprehensive Plan and the county Farmland Preservation Plan. Staff indicated the applicant must secure any required permits or licenses from state and federal agencies before operating the proposed business.
