Planning Commission backs Shetler conditional use permit, adds after-the-fact fee condition

The Winona County Planning Commission on April 16 recommended approval of a conditional use permit to allow a single‑family dwelling on less than the 40 acres required under the county zoning code, ruling the structure met the commission’s Findings of Fact with conditions including variances and code compliance. Chair Eugene Hansen introduced the petition and Planner Olivia Stroinski presented maps, photos and a township acknowledgement from St. Charles Township indicating "no comments." The commission noted the building is occupied by a family member employed on the parcel.
