The Burnett County Zoning Committee spent two hours discussing a proposed new sign ordinance. I was most interested in learning if there would be any attempts to restrict For Sale signs. There is no language to restrict Realtor® For Sale signs.However, I suggest ANY BUSINESS that uses signs (on or off premise) to obtain a copy of the proposed language from the Zoning Office. I repeat ANY BUSINESS that uses signs. The proposed new language will place new restrictions on practically all ON and OFF premise signs. This also includes the size of signs on the sides of buildings. I have no idea what they are proposing is reasonable or not. That is really up to ALL BUSINESSES in Burnett County to determine. This is still early in the process so now is the time for input on this issue with the Zoning Committee and Zoning Administrator.
-------
The Burnett County Zoning Committee had their final discussion on the proposed Subdivision Ordinance. From the initial proposal in May the proposed new ordinance is very much improved. The citizens of Burnett County owe a debt of gratitude to Doug Crane and Mark Krause for their tenacious work on this ordinance. If you see Doug or Mark thank them for their work. They managed to make significant changes that made the final product something that is much improved over what is in effect now. and also what was originally proposed. Final passage is expected by the County Board.
Rusk County
The Rusk County Zoning Committee is discussing "Changes to Fee Schedule, Private Sewage Ordinance, Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance and Shoreland Ordinance. According to the Zoning Administrator none of the changes discussed are of major substance. We will trust but verify that statement.
No Public Hearing date is scheduled for any of these changes.
Sawyer County
The Sawyer County Board of Supervisors has approved the new Wilderness Lakes Classification. It was not done without controversy and a close 9-6 decision. A complete recap of the meeting can be found HaywardWi.Com.
------
Sawyer County Zoning Committee has been reviewing proposed changes to the Subdivision Ordinance. No major problems have been found in the proposed changes. On interesting issue is centering on language which would knowingly be in direct conflict with a recent Supreme Court ruling. This would be setting up show down with someone, somewhere down the line.
Washburn County
The Wal-mart saga in Spooner continues to divide the residents of Washburn County. Now being discussed is changes in the road to decrease costs, lowering the asking price of the land and possible TIF funding. If there is ANY public money put toward this project the residents will go ballistic. More info can be found at SpoonerAdvocate.Com.
