MEMORANDUM
Date: August 11, 2004
To: County Board Supervisors
From: Jan Zoerb, Chairperson
Planning and Zoning C ee
Subject: Adoption Ordinance for Land Use Ordinance Amendments
Attached is the adopting ordinance for the three County Land Use Ordinances to be considered by the
County Board at the August 17 meeting. All of the proposed ordinances and related summaries were
distributed to County Board Supervisors last Friday in a separate mailing. The adopting ordinance
provides for some numbering changes for two of the ordinances within the overall County Code of
Ordinances. These changes have been made in cooperation with Corporation Counsel.
One of the issues of greatest concern for some town officials has been some of the proposed road
standards, particularly the standards for roads in conservation design subdivisions. We have made some
adjustments to these standards. Planning and Zoning staff used the review and recommendations of the
County Highway Engineer and did additional research on road standards in relation to emergency vehicle
access. The proposed road standards are within professional practice standards used by WisDOT,
which rely on national road standards and accommodate emergency vehicles and school buses. The
proposed road standards are also consistent with standards or policies recommended by the National
Fire Protection Association and Wisconsin Department of Commerce Division of Safety and
Buildings. The proposed ordinances also provide that we will use any standards adopted by a
respective town.
Thank you for your review and consideration. We look forward to reviewing the proposed ordinances
with you next Tuesday.
