Committee recommends approval of Baus rezone, sets conditions for retail conversion
Summary
The committee voted unanimously to forward a request to rezone roughly 3.6 acres for Scott and Susan Baus to the County Board and directed staff to issue a conditional use permit with sanitation, ADA parking, lighting and building-permit conditions if the rezone is approved.
The Calumet County Planning, Zoning & Farmland Preservation Committee on March 12 voted unanimously to forward a map amendment request from Scott and Susan Baus to the County Board and to direct staff to issue a conditional use permit for a proposed retail use if the rezone is approved.
The Baus petition requests rezoning of approximately 3.6 acres from General Agricultural (GA) to Heartland (HL) for the parcel described as NE ¼, NW ¼, Sec. 23, T17N, R20E in the Town of New Holstein, located at W703 Fur Farm Road. Staff informed the committee that current zoning prevents the owners from operating their business, Graybarn Trading LLC, and that the Town of New Holstein supports the rezone. The committee voted to forward the map amendment to the County Board with a recommendation of acceptance (motion by Budde; seconded by Kesler). The motion carried unanimously.
Separately, the committee directed staff to issue a conditional use permit under Section 82-52(d) upon County Board approval of the rezone, with required conditions: provision of a portable restroom or equivalent sanitation for the public building, one ADA-compliant parking space in accordance with Section 82-95 of the Zoning Ordinance, any future exterior lighting to be shielded to prevent spillover, and obtaining a building permit from the Town of New Holstein. The motion to impose those conditions was moved by Budde and seconded by Ott and carried unanimously.
