Cernohous to adopt the agenda. Motion carried. Motion by Breault, seconded by Cernohous to approve
the previous month's minutes. Motion carried. The meeting date for March was confirmed for the 21 st.
Community Surveys
Denzer reported that there are approximately 70% of the surveys in. Staff would like a 90% return and
had to do some telephone calling to remind people to return their surveys as soon as possible. She further
noted that 60% of the data from the surveys is in the computer.
Project Status Report
Denzer then distributed a copy of an overall list of what plans, ordinances, facility plans and other
miscellaneous plans the municipalities have in effect at this time. She noted that what they have is fairly
old and probably will not be used as a reference to build from, but will be kept in the Planning
Department library for reference material.
Tappen reported that Regional Planning is still waiting for the 5 digital ortho-photos that are outstanding,
but are currently using the hard copy for mapping. He is anticipating getting the soil surveys for the
Town of Warren so the physical feature model can be put together for the technical committee to look
at. He also is hopeful that the entire land use map for the un-incorporated area will be done by next week
and ready for a presentation for the open houses.
Fodroczi reported that a consultant has been hired to work on a system design and implementation plan
for the land records and land information systems in the County. This will be helpful in administering
plans and ordinances that come out of this project.
Denzer reported that the trends analysis should be done by the end of this week, but the report portion
will not be completed for some time.
Consultant Attorney RFP
Fodroczi reported that staff has reviewed the scope of work for the RFP. He noted that after lengthy
discussion of ordinance options, an upgraded conventional ordinance which would take less time to do,
could be designed and drafted by County and Regional Planning staff. A consultant could help with
designing a less conventional ordinance. It was determined at that time to review the current ordinance
from top to bottom to see what is missing and what is wrong with it. Staff has had one, all day session
and will hopefully complete the process later today. Fodroczi noted that before sending out the RFP, staff
will finish the diagnosis of the ordinance and come back to the Committee with the results and a
summary. He further noted that staff feels a more extensive and updated conventional ordinance would
be better with the timeframe they have to work with. Nelson noted that the Land Use Attorney from UW-
Extension is looking for a model ordinance for other counties to work from as a result of our activities.
NEW BUSINESS
Open House
Denzer reported that the results from the surveys will help with what approach to take on re -writing the
ordinance.
Denzer then reviewed the presentation for the February 29th meeting with the Towns and that the elected
official category survey results will be available at that time. The notice was sent to every elected official
in the County and the Town Planning Commissions. At the open house on March 19th there will be a
presentation to the County Board before 2:00 p.m. and then the remainder of the day will be open to the
public.
Rural by Design Video Tape 11:30 a.m., Also Shown at 8:00 a.m. Before the meeting
