Committee recommends forwarding Wyand rezoning of 4‑acre parcel to county board
Summary
The zoning committee voted to forward a rezoning request for a 4.0‑acre parcel in the Town of Buffalo from Prime Agriculture (Ag‑1) to Agricultural Residential (Ag‑3); the town had approved the change and staff said the request was prompted by setbacks that prevented locating an accessory pavilion.
The Marquette County Zoning Committee voted to forward a rezoning request from Tracy Wernke Wyand to the county board, recommending a change from Prime Agriculture (Ag‑1) to Agricultural Residential (Ag‑3) for a 4.0‑acre parcel in Section 34 of the Town of Buffalo.
Zoning administrator Jean told the committee the request had been properly noticed and that the town of Buffalo had already approved the rezone. Jean said the applicants own the standalone 4‑acre parcel and sought Ag‑3 status because “with only 4 acres in prime agriculture, which is a 40 acre minimum, it was a bit of a mismatch” and setbacks left no compliant place for the accessory pavilion the owners proposed. Committee members confirmed the parcel is not part of a larger holding and raised no modifications to the town's approval.
John Bennett moved and John Martin seconded that the committee forward the request to the county board with a recommendation of approval. The chair called for a voice vote; the motion carried and the item will be placed on the county board agenda on the third Tuesday. No individual roll‑call tallies were specified in the committee record provided.
The committee packet includes the town’s minutes supporting the application and the rezoning will be decided by the full county board at its scheduled meeting.
