TOWN OF NEW HAVEN-ADAMS , COUNTY, WI

PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED LAND DIVISION ORDINANCE &

REGULAR MONTHLY TOWN BOARD MEETING

MARCH 18, 2010 -  6:00 P.M.

A Public Hearing to receive comment on the proposed Land Division Ordinance was called to order at 6:00 p.m. by New Haven Town Board Chairperson Mike Julson.  The full Town Board was present and nine  visitors  signed  in. 

Bill Isaacson inquired about the new minimum lots size of 2 acres - what happened to zoning that used to  require  35 acres to build on?  Plan Commission member Pete Joslin  explained that A1 zoned ag land still required 35 acres, but any land zoned for min lot size less than two acres, such as R1 residential, would now have a two acre min lot size, to protect public safety and preserve environmental quality. 

Parcels of land in certain areas of the Town (about 3/4 of the Town) will only be able to be divided once every 5 (five) years.  This is to control the development of Subdivisions.

Joslin explained that condominiums are covered in the ordinance, and that condominiums must follow the same density requirements as any other development. 

Adams County P&Z Director earlier stated there appears to be no conflicts between the Town’s proposed Land Division Ordinance and the County.  No one spoke against the ordinance at the hearing.  The Public Hearing was adjourned at 6:40 p.m.
