Commission backs land‑use map change for William Marshall parcel near St. Mathias Road

The planning commission recommended approval of a land‑use map amendment to convert roughly 33.9 acres owned by William Marshall from agricultural/forested to Rural Residential‑5 (R‑5). Staff said the change would align the parcel with surrounding R‑5 zoning and enable future consolidation or subdivision consistent with adjacent uses. The county highway department provided written comment that the change would have no adverse impacts on the transportation system, and the board added that note to the findings of fact before voting to forward the recommendation to the County Board for consideration on April 8.
