Committee forwards Pickell rezoning to County Board to allow continued equine use
Summary
The committee unanimously voted to forward Michael Pickell’s request to rezone about 10 acres at N1249 Plymouth Trail from SF20 to Small Estate, citing a 2009 code rewrite that placed the parcel in a district that no longer allows agricultural uses; staff recommended approval.
The Calumet County Planning, Zoning & Farmland Preservation Committee voted unanimously on May 14, 2026 to forward Michael Pickell’s map amendment to the County Board with a recommendation to approve. The applicant requested rezoning of approximately 10 acres at N1249 Plymouth Trail from Single-Family 20,000 (SF20) to Small Estate (SE) so he may continue horse-keeping; Meuer explained the parcel was moved into SF20 by a 2009 code rewrite that removed agricultural allowances, and staff advised the SE district is compatible and consistent with the 2045 Comprehensive Plan and county ordinances.
The motion to forward the rezoning carried unanimously (motion by Budde, second Kesler). No members recorded objections. The committee’s action sends the proposal to the County Board for final consideration under Section 82-137 of the Calumet County Zoning Ordinance.
