Meeting Minutes

TOWN OF HAMILTON PUBLIC HEARING TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2022 7:00 P.M. A special meeting for the Comprehensive Planning Committee to approve and recommend the 2021 Comprehensive Plan for the Town of Hamilton was called to order by Chairman Blaine Lee at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 8, 2022. All in attendance were invited to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. ATTENDANCE: Blaine Lee, Paul Degenhardt, Kevin Hoyer, Bob Gollnik, Dixie Fladhammer, Dean Olson, Charlie Handy, Steve and Sandy Stockheimer, Mr. and Marlene Tolkenien, Steve Knudson, Barb Gilster, Matt Luethe and Sara Schultz were present. CHANGES: The 2009 Comprehensive Plan was reformatted and streamlined. There were a few changes made for future land use including Old Highway 16 and commercial development on Buol Road. The main goal of the plan is to keep the township as rural as possible. Dean Olson recommended on behalf of the Planning Committee to accept the plan. Supervisor Degenhardt motioned to accept the plan as presented and Hoyer supported the motion with a second. Motion carried. ORDINANCE: Clerk Schultz read the Ordinance to Adopt the Town of Hamilton Comprehensive Plan 2021-2040 and was followed by the signing of the document by the chairman and clerk. At this time, Charlie Handy (La Crosse County Zoning Dept) stated the land use plan in the township is accepted by the county. Once the county finishes updating their own plan, our amended plan will then be adopted by the county. There is going to be a need to amend current plans more often (every 18 months or so). Hoyer moved to adjourn the meeting at 7:52 p.m. while Degenhardt seconded the motion. __________________________ Sara Schultz, Town Clerk
