Antoine and Tonia Dalbec, Pt SE1/4-NE1/4, Section 1, T47N-R11W, Town of Maple: Permit has been issued and all is well. Proposed Amendment to the Douglas County Zoning Ordinance 8.0 Regarding the Zoning Schedule Dimensional Requirements Minimum Floor Areas for New Dwellings: Proposal by Town s Association would eliminate minimum floor requirement for new dwellings. Dwellings would still be required to meet Uniform Dwelling Code and require well, septic and land use permits. A majority of towns would need to recommend approval in order to amend ordinance. Proposed Amendments to the Douglas County Zoning Ordinance 8.0 Regarding Lot Sizes, Basis of Approvals and Nonconforming Structures (2017 WI Acts 67 and 68): Substantial evidence would be required to deny a conditional-use permit (public concern would not be a basis for denial); a nonconforming structure may be torn down and rebuilt in the exact footprint without a variance. There is uncertainty across state in regards to amendments and how to conform. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS: Ordinance amendment correspondence; capital project requests. ADJOURNMENT: Motion by Baker, second Robinson, to adjourn. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 10:33 a.m. Submitted by, Kaci Lundgren, Committee Clerk Zoning, 3/6/18 Page 4 of 4
