Galesville Plan Commission moves to remove accessory dwelling unit from draft 2025 goals
Summary
At its Feb. 19 meeting, the Galesville Plan Commission reviewed a draft "2025 Goals" document from MRRPC, recommended removing an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) proposal and other items not aligned with long-term goals, and sent the updated document back to MRRPC; the meeting adjourned on a 6-0 tally.
Mayor Tom Thatcher called the Galesville Plan Commission to order at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 19, 2026. The commission reviewed a draft titled "2025 Goals City of Galesville 1.12.26.docx" provided by MRRPC and recorded major editorial comments intended for inclusion in the city's Comprehensive Plan.
Commissioners identified several elements they judged inconsistent with Galesville's long-term goals. The minutes state that the commission's major comments included removing the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) item from the draft; the updated document with those comments was sent to MRRPC for inclusion in the Comprehensive Plan. Approval of the Jan. 15 minutes was deferred to the next meeting.
Procedural notes in the record show that Joe Nordie (building inspector) arrived at 6:45 p.m., and Diane Redsten left the meeting at 7:00 p.m. Randy Larson moved to adjourn; Bob Ristow seconded. The motion carried on the recorded tally: Ayes - 6, Nays - 0. The minutes do not record individual roll-call votes by name beyond the overall tally.
Next steps listed in the meeting record are that the commission's updated draft will be returned to MRRPC for incorporation into the Comprehensive Plan and that formal approval of the Jan. 15 minutes will be handled at the following meeting.
