Board amends floodplain rules after FEMA LOMAR related to Highway 165 lift station
Summary
Following completion of a regulatory boundary adjustment and FEMA LOMAR for the Highway 165 lift station site, the board approved a floodplain zoning amendment and a land‑use map correction. Staff noted property owners must record an acknowledgment of ongoing use restrictions with the Kenosha County Register of Deeds.
The Village Board approved a floodplain zoning amendment and a companion comprehensive plan amendment to reflect a FEMA letter of map revision (LOMAR) for the Highway 165 lift station property.
Planning staff explained the LOMAR has been issued and that under the village ordinance the area subject to a regulatory boundary adjustment must follow Chapter 430 requirements; the ordinance now requires a property owner to record a statement with the Register of Deeds acknowledging that development in previously regulated floodplain areas will carry ongoing restrictions. Rob told the board this action corrects the land‑use map and incorporates the LOMAR findings into local zoning and the 2035 land‑use plan.
Trustees approved the two ordinances in a combined action; staff said these changes are ministerial steps that follow completion of the lift station work and receipt of the federal map revision.
