Plan Commission members raise concerns about earth fill and possible data-center ordinance
Summary
Commissioners discussed reports that subcontractors hauling fill from a data center construction project in Port Washington may be delivering clay and other fill to private properties, and flagged the issue of property owners building large berms; the commission asked staff to note potential ordinance options.
During public input at the July 6 meeting, Plan Commission member David Mueller said he had received reports that subcontractors hauling fill from the Port Washington data center construction project may be delivering material to private property owners, raising concerns that large earth berms or filling of low areas could change property conditions. Commissioner Craig Droppers asked whether the Town should consider an ordinance regulating data centers or related hauling activities to address potential local impacts.
The commission did not initiate formal rulemaking at the meeting but recorded the concern for potential future discussion; commissioners asked staff to monitor the situation and to consider whether a zoning or ordinance response is warranted.
