TO: County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Ken Witt, County Administrator
Jason Kjeseth, Director
DATE: July 2, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Approving Town of Troy Rezoning 10.006 Acres from Exclusive
Agricultural to Agricultural Residential
______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Wisconsin Statute 60.62(3) requires that counties review and approve all amendments to town
zoning ordinance text and maps prior to the amendment taking effect. The Town of Troy, which
has a town zoning ordinance, approved the map amendment on March 21, 2024. The
applicant/property owner is Joe Cardin and Dan Pearson.
In summary, the proposed rezoning of property is for a 10-acre residential lot located in Section
29 in the Town of Troy. The zoning would change from the Exclusive Agricultural District (AG) to
the Agricultural Residential District (AG-RES).
The Community Development Department has reviewed the information provided by the Town
of Troy regarding the rezoning of the land and the process and procedures for town review and
adoption and recommends approval of the resolution to approve the rezoning in the Town of
Troy.
The rezoning request is consistent with the Future Land Use Plan within the Town of Troy
Comprehensive Plan. The Future Land Use Plan within the Comp Plan designates the parcel as
“Residential-Agriculture” with a Transfer of Development (TDR) Sending Area Overlay and
supports the rezoning to the Agricultural Residential District (AG-RES).
