II. ZONE CHANGE IN THE 2700 BLOCK OF CLAIRVILLE ROAD IN THE TOWN OF
ALGOMA
This request is for a zone change for a 36.823 acre parcel of land in the Town of Algoma generally from
agricultural to residential zoning for portions of the parcel assemblage. The zone changes are proposed
to follow newly created CSM lots reviewed by the City of Oshkosh Plan Commission under separate
action which received approval.
The proposed zoning is as follows:
Extraterritorial Zoning Committee Minutes 2 June 2, 2015
Lot 1 from A-2ETZ to R-1ETZ
Lot 2 from A-2ETZ to R-1ETZ
Lot 3 from A-2 ETZ to A-1ETZ
The purpose of the zone change is to allow for residential development of Lots 1 and 2, while Lot 3 will
remain in agricultural zoning but move from a “general” agricultural district to that of a “light”
agricultural district.
Mr. Nau presented the item and reviewed the site and surrounding area as well as the land use and
zoning classifications in this area. He explained the reason for the zone change request which is to
enable the property owner to market Lots 1 and 2 for residential development with Lot 3 proposed to be
changed from “general” to “light” agriculture zoning to enter it into a type of managed forest
arrangement that could at some point in the future be changed to residential zoning. Mr. Nau reviewed
the City’s 20-Year Comprehensive Plan and stated that staff has no concerns with the proposed zone
changes as they are consistent with this plan.
Mr. Thoms questioned if the lots are currently used for agricultural purposes.
Mr. Nau responded negatively.
Mr. Thoms then questioned what the reason was for the proposed zone change from A-2ETZ to A-
1ETZ.
Mr. Nau responded that the agricultural zone change was due to the minimum lot size of the parcel
which was an issue with its current zoning classification and the division of the lots reducing the size of
the current parcel.
Mr. Haese stated that they have been in discussion with the property owner regarding the potential zone
changes and the Town has no concerns with the proposal.
Motion by Thoms to approve the zone change in the 2700 block of Clairville Road in the Town of
Algoma as follows:
Lot 1 from A-2ETZ to R-1ETZ
Lot 2 from A-2ETZ to R-1ETZ
Lot 3 from A-2 ETZ to A-1ETZ
Seconded by Bowen. Motion carried 6-0.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at approximately 4:23 pm. (Thoms/Bowen)
Respectfully submitted,
Darryn Burich
Director of Planning Services
