Here We Go Again!


Just when I thought this fight regarding private property owner rights and county government was at bay there's a new ordinance amendment floating through the channels that would take away the grandfather clause of any substandard lots in the shoreland district for EVER!

In a bold move, Sup. Bruskewitz has proposed an amendment to Ch. 11 of Dane County zoning ordinance stating that substandard lots in a shoreland district may be used as a building site. This passed through the Zoning and Land Regulation committee on a 2-1 vote last week.

Sounds good right? Wrong. The fear is this amendment will see an amendment added to change the word "may be used as a building site" to "may NOT be used as a building site". This may happen when this amendment comes before the full Dane County Board. The next meeting of the Dane County Board is slated for Thursday, April 4 at 7 p.m. As of today there's nothing regarding this amendment on the agenda. The next meeting will then be April 19 at 7 p.m.
