a.
Shawano
County Planner Melinda Barlow was present to review the Zoning Maps Shawano
County is preparing for the rewrite of the Shawano County Zoning Ordinance with
the Town of Angelica Planning Commission and the town board to be sure that the
new Shawano County Zoning Ordinance matches the existing land uses. Ms. Barlow stated that there will not be a
lot of changes in the zoning for the Town of Angelica. The majority of property which presently is
in the A-290 Zone will be in the new Zoning Ordinance Zone OAR ~ Open Lands,
Agriculture and Residential District and there is little change in the OAR Zone
from the A-290 Zone. A new zone will be
created called Hamlet Zoning which will be used in the more populated areas of
Krakow, Zachow and Angelica. This zone will allow more permitted uses or
conditional uses relating to small scale commercial. Ms. Barlow will take the maps back to be
updated and then they will again be brought to the board and Planning
Commission for review before a town resolution to accept the maps is done and
public hearings are scheduled.
b.
A motion made and passed at the September 13,
2010 town board meeting incorrectly stated that a request to Shawano County to make
a correction in zoning for three parcels in Zachow
