4. Discussion on POWTS Maintenance Program
Clary discussed the proposed POWTS Maintenance Program, the challenges with the software, the
process for creating four separate mailings, the status of the wastewater treatment plants coming back
online, the number of notices sent and the number of notices still needing to be sent. Issues: timing of
the cards, the $25 late penalty, septics that have never been pumped, the backlog of the service providers
and the possible modifications to the program for this year.
Clary offered the following modifications to the POWTS Maintenance Program:
1. Late Fee: Waive the late fee for all owners for this year.
2. Seasonal Properties: The Administrative Code allows for an occasionally occupied structure to have an
additional 2 years for pumping, if allowed by ordinance. While Chippewa County does not have this
provision, DPZ is recognizing a significant scheduling problem with POWTS Maintenance and allowing this
option would alleviate some pressure for some owners. DPZ will figure out a process to properly
document this within the existing system.
3. Proposed Mailings 3 & 4: Combine into one mailing with one deadline.
4. Compliance Deadlines: Extend the deadlines out to the middle of September for all POWTS owners.
5. Final Non-Compliance Notice: A non-compliance/final notice will be sent out to all POWTS owners if a
POWTS maintenance record has not been entered into the county's system by mid-September.
6. Citations: Focus on the individuals who have not pumped their septic systems for over six (6) years.
7. This process is subject to change based on the results over the next month or so. DPZ staff will keep the
PZC updated on the status.
DPZ's goal is compliance with the program and not to issue citations. Yet, we will still need to take
Page 4 of 44
enforcement action for some.
While a motion was not made, the PZC was in favor of the proposed modifications.

on an amendment to the Chippewa County Zoning Ordinance –
Temporary Moratorium on Data Center Development

Page 26 of 44
Public Hearing Draft
Dated: July 22, 2026
Page 1 of 6
ORD. XX-26
ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 70 OF THE CHIPPEWA COUNTY CODE OF ORDINANCES TO
ADOPT A TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON DATA CENTER DEVELOPMENT
1. That sec�on 70-9 of the Chippewa County Code of Ordinances is hereby created as follows:
Sec. 70-9 Temporary Moratorium on Data Center Development
(a) Recitals. The following r ecitals are true and accurate, and are therefore incorporated
herein as findings of fact and shall be used not just for reference:
WHEREAS, the Chippewa County Board of Supervisors ( “County Board”) has the
authority to enact zoning regula�ons and adopt interim measures to protect the public
health, safety, and general welfare pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 59.03, Wis. Stat. § 59.69(4) ,
and other applicable provisions of Wisconsin law; and
WHEREAS, recent technological advancements have significantly increased the
demand for data centers and associated infrastructure suppor�ng cloud compu�ng,
ar�ficial intelligence, digital communica�ons, electronic commerce, financial services,
governmental opera�ons, scien�fic research, and other data processing ac�vi�es; and
WHEREAS, modern data centers are substan�ally different from tradi�onal
commercial, industrial, and other manufacturing buildings because data centers o�en
require extensive and unique electrical infrastructure, high -capacity transmission
facili�es, substa�ons, backup genera�on systems, batery energy storage systems, cooling
equipment, fiber op�c infrastructure, specialized water supply systems and wastewater
facili�es, and other specialized improvements necessary for con�nuous opera�on; and
WHEREAS, construc�on and opera�on of a data center in Chippewa County may
require substan�al public and private infrastructure improvements, including roadway
improvements, u�lity extensions, electrical substa�ons, transmission lines,
telecommunica�ons facili�es, and emergency service capabili�es that are not currently
addressed by the exis�ng Chippewa County Code of Ordinances (“County Ordinances”);
and
WHEREAS, data centers may create general land use impacts but, due to the
par�cular nature of a proposed data center, may also create unique impacts that are not
addressed in the County Ordinances, including unique impacts involving noise from
mechanical cooling equipment and emergency generators, exterior ligh�ng, visual
impacts, construc�on traffic, water consump�on, wastewater genera�on, stormwater
management, emergency response planning, hazardous materials, fire su ppression
Page 27 of 44
Public Hearing Draft
Dated: July 22, 2026
Page 2 of 6
systems, and compa�bility with neighboring residen�al, agricultural, commercial, and
industrial proper�es; and
WHEREAS, associated infrastructure serving a data center may extend well beyond
the principal building and may include electrical substa�ons, transmission facili�es,
batery energy storage systems, cooling towers, water storage facili�es, wastewater
treatment equipment, fuel storage, fiber op�c infrastructure, security improvements, and
other accessory structures necessary for opera�on of a data center; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 70 of the Ch ippewa County Code of Ordinances (“County
Zoning Ordinance”), presently contains no specific defini�on of a Data Center (as defined
herein) and do es not establish zoning districts, permi�ng procedures, development
standards, setback requirements, landscaping standards, noise limita�ons, buffering
requirements, decommissioning requirements, financial assurance requirements, or
other regula�ons spec ifically applicable to data centers, and the unique impacts of use
that may result from a data center within Chippewa County; and
WHEREAS, allowing applica�ons for data centers to proceed before
comprehensive zoning regula�ons are considered and adopted could result in inconsistent
land use decisions, insufficient development standards, conflicts with surrounding land
uses, increased demands on public infrastructure, and impacts to the health, safety, and
general welfare of Chippewa County’s residents, natural resources, property, businesses
and visitors; and
WHEREAS, the County Board has discussed whether it is in the public interest to
temporarily preserve the status quo rela�ng to data center construc�on and use in
Chippewa County while Chippewa County: (a) researches the land use, environmental,
health, and other impacts of data centers; (b) consults with other coun�es and
municipali�es, u�li�es, emergency responders, property owners, planning professionals,
environmental agencies, and other stakeholders regarding the poten�al impacts of data
centers in Chippewa County; (c) determines whether any certain areas should be
designated for a data center if a data center is determined to require special regula�ons;
and (d) prepares any required amendment to the Chippewa County Comprehensive Plan
and comprehensive zoning regula�ons addressing the loca�on, construc�on, opera�on,
expansion, maintenance, and decommissioning of data centers within Chippewa County;
and
WHEREAS, the County Board intends that this temporary moratorium shall not
prohibit future data centers in Chippewa County , but rather provide sufficient �me to
develop objec�ve, reasonable, and legally defensible land use regula�ons that provide
Page 28 of 44
Public Hearing Draft
Dated: July 22, 2026
Page 3 of 6
certainty to both the public and prospec�ve applicants while protec�ng the public health,
safety, and general welfare from the poten�al impacts of a data center in Chippewa
County; and
WHEREAS, the County Board has discussed the appropriate �meframe for a
temporary moratorium, and whether a ten (10) month temporary moratorium is in the
best interest of the public health, safety, and general welfare, during which there will be
a moratorium upon the considera�on of any applica�on to develop, construct or operate
a data center and/or issuance of any permits or approvals for data centers; and
WHEREAS, the County Board has discussed whether a ten (10) month temporary
moratorium is reasonably necessary to allow adequate �me for research, ordinance
prepara�on, public review, town board recommenda�ons, the County Planning and
Zoning Commitee (“Commitee”) considera�on, legal counsel review, County Board
considera�on and ac�on, and implementa�on of comprehensive regula�ons governing
data centers.
(b) Declaration of Moratori um. There is hereby imposed a temporary moratorium on the
acceptance of any applica�on to construct or operate any Data Center (as defined herein),
and considera�on and/or issuance of any zoning permit, building permit, condi�onal use
permit, or zoning approval for a Data Center under any part of the County Ordinances or
any other provision of applicable law. The temporary moratorium set forth shall be
referred to herein as the “Moratorium”.
(1) Definition. For purposes of this Moratorium, “Data Center” means a building,
campus, or group of buildings used for the primary purpose of cloud compu�ng,
ar�ficial intelligence compu�ng, digital storage, networking, internet hos�ng,
coloca�on services, cryptocurrency processing, high -performance compu�ng, or
other electronic data processing ac�vi�es, together with all associated
infrastructure necessary for opera�on of which the total square feet exceeds
20,000 sq uare feet . Associated infrastructure includes any building, facility,
equipment or improvement (temporary or permanent) that is reasonably
necessary for the construc�on, opera�on, maintenance, expansion, or
decommissioning of a Data Center, including but not limited to: server buildings
and suppor�ng structures; electrical substa�ons; electrical transmission and
distribu�on facili�es; batery energy storage systems (BESS); emergency backup
generators; fuel storage facili�es; cooling equipment and cooling towers; chilled
water systems; water supply and storage facili�es; wastewater collec�on and
treatment facili�es; fiber op�c infrastructure; telecommunica�ons equipment;
Page 29 of 44
Public Hearing Draft
Dated: July 22, 2026
Page 4 of 6
security buildings and fencing; parking, loading, and access roads; and any other
infrastructure constructed primarily to support the opera�on of a Data Center.
(2) Exceptions to the Moratorium. This Moratorium shall not apply to:
a. Rou�ne maintenance or repair of exis�ng legally established facili�es.
b. Server rooms or computer equipment accessory to an exis�ng principal use
that does not meet the defini�on of a Data Center.
c. Public safety communica�on facili�es owned or operated by a
governmental en�ty.
d. U�lity facili�es, energy genera�on facili�es, and energy storage facili�es
that are not constructed solely or primarily to serve a proposed Data
Center.
(3) Nothing contained herein shall be construed to authorize any use otherwise
prohibited under the County Ordinances.
(c) Purpose. The purpose of this Moratorium is to preserve the status quo while Chippewa
County researches, evaluates, and develops comprehensive plans and zoning regula�ons
governing the si�ng, construc�on, opera�on, expansion, maintenance, and
decommissioning of Data Centers in order to preserve and protect public health, safety
and general welfare.
(d) Authority. This Moratorium is adopted pursuant to the authority granted to coun�es
under Wis. Stat. § 59.03 , Wis. Stat. § 59.69 (4), and any other applicable provisions of
Wisconsin law authorizing coun�es to regulate land use and adopt temporary
moratoriums to preserve the public health, safety, and general welfare.
The County Board finds that adop�on of this Moratorium cons�tutes a reasonable
exercise of its police powers and zoning authority for the preserva�on and protec�on of
the public health, safety and general welfare of Chippewa County’s residents, natural
resources, property, businesses and visitors.
(e) Duration of Moratorium . The moratorium set forth in this Moratorium shall become
effec�ve upon adop�on and publica�on as required by law, and shall remain in effect for
a period of ten (10) months, unless sooner repealed, modified, superseded, or replaced
by ac�on of the County Board.
The moratorium set forth in this Moratorium shall automa�cally terminate upon the
effec�ve date of an ordinance establishing permanent zoning regula�ons governing Data
Centers regardless of whether the full ten-month period has elapsed , unless otherwise
determined by the County Board.
Page 30 of 44
Public Hearing Draft
Dated: July 22, 2026
Page 5 of 6
The County Board reserves the right to amend this Moratorium as permited by Wisconsin
law if it determines such amendment is necessary to protect the public health, safety, and
general welfare or to facilitate implementa�on of permanent zoning regula�ons.
(f) Direction to Develop Data Center Regulations. During the period of this Moratorium, the
Commitee, and the Chippewa County Director of Planning and Zoning (the
“Administrator”), or the Administrator’s delegate(s), are directed to research and dra� an
amendment to the County Zoning Ordinance, to be presented to the County Board,
providing comprehensive and appropriate regula�ons of Data Centers to protect the
health, safety and general welfare of Chippewa County’s residents, natural resources,
property, businesses, visitors and the public from the poten�al impacts of Data Center
construc�on and opera�on in Chippewa County. It is the inten�on of the County Board
to amend the Chippewa County Comprehensive Plan and the County Zoning Ordinance by
adop�ng an amendment to the exis�ng County Comprehensive Plan and County Zoning
Ordinance to address the si�ng and regula�ons for the development and use of Data
Centers, before the expira�on of the moratorium set forth in this Moratorium.
(g) Subjects for Consideration. In preparing an amendment to the exis�ng County
Comprehensive Plan and County Zoning Ordinance, the Commitee and the Administrator
shall review the possible impacts that Data Centers may have on the health, safety and
general welfare of the residents, natural resources, property, businesses and visitors of
Chippewa County. The Administrator may, in his or her discre�on, consult with other
coun�es and municipali�es, review and research appropriate studies and informa�on
pertaining to data centers, associated infrastructure, si�ng impacts, land use impacts, and
other impacts, and then report back to the Commitee. The Administrator may also, in his
or her discre�on, consult with any professionals, experts or scholars with knowledge
about the possible impacts of these systems, including but not limited to engineers,
lawyers, law enforcement officers, fire fighters and those with specialized knowledge in
the fields of data storage facili�es’ poten�al impacts on the human environment, geology,
soils, water quality and conserva�on, emergency response, or other public health or
environmental protec�on issues, and then report back to the Commitee. The Commitee
shall provide opportuni�es for public par�cipa�on in its review process, and consider the
public health, safety and general welfare of Chippewa County’s residents, natural
resources, property, businesses and visitors throughout the process.
(h) Severability. If a sec�on, subsec�on, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase of this
Moratorium is declared uncons�tu�onal or invalid for any reason by any court of
competent jurisdic�on, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining por�ons
of this Moratorium.

(i) Construction. If the provisions of this Moratorium are found to be inconsistent with other
provisions of this ordinance or any County Ordinances, the provisions of this Moratorium
are deemed to control.
2. That this ordinance amendment shall take effect upon passage and publica�on.
Forwarded to the County Board by the Planning & Zoning Commitee.

Date: July 14, 2026
To: Andy Albarado, County Administrator
From: Douglas Clary,
RE: 2027 DH Requested Budget Submission
Good Afternoon Mr. Albarado,
Please find attached a copy of the 2027 DH Requested Budgets for the Department of Planning & Zoning (DPZ), which I plan
on introducing to the Planning & Zoning Committee on July 23, 2026. Below, I have highlighted the major changes or points
of consideration within these budgets:
1. 100-53-56410 – Planning & Zoning
a. Per Budget letter – The requested tax levy increase was limited to 55% of the increase between the 2026 and
2027 Position Based Budgeting (PPB) spreadsheets.
b. The permit fees are estimated on a projected value around a 6-year and 7-year average.
c. In 2026, some of the department’s fees were increased. I have tried to capture a reasonable figure to include
in the budget until we can get some more data through the upcoming years.
d. I increased the POWTS Maintenance Fee from $3 to $4, which is projected to net an additional $17,860.
e. I have placed a line item in the budget to contract with OPG3 to build a public portal where residents can
access our permit records. This will still need to be scoped and approved within the applicable guardrails.
2. 100-53-56411 – Building Inspection Fund (Uniform Dwelling Code)
a. This budget is funded 100% through revenues received from related inspections.
3. 100-53-56413 – Comprehensive Planning Project
a. $30,000 for potential Land Use Planning Plans.
4. 100-54-51715 – Land Records Program
a. Per Budget letter – The requested tax levy increase was limited to 64% of the increase between the 2026 and
2027 Position Based Budgeting (PPB) spreadsheets.
b. $120,000 was budgeted for upgrading our LiDAR. This project would be subject to Chippewa County and
surrounding counties successfully being approved for a federal grant via the USGS -3DEP program. The total
projected cost is just over $300,000, with USGS and other partners carrying approximately $185,850 of the
project.
c. $50,000 was budgeted for miscellaneous projects as listed in the Land Records modernization Plan and would
be subject to the county receiving an increase in the Strategic Grant. See 220- 54-51715 budget for additional
info.
5. 100-54-51725 – Plat Book/Road Map Publishing
a. A plat book was produced in 2021. We have been seeing a significant drop in plat book sales due to the
increased functionality of our GIS web site. Thus, the incoming revenues are the sale of plat books has been
decreasing. This being said, in the past the funds within the account are also used to assist in the purchase of
aerial photography and other information that adds value to our GIS.
6. 100-54-51912 – Tax Deed Expense
a. This budget is funded 100% via past proceeds from the sale of Tax Deed Type A properties.

b. $16,680 – Base Budget Guarantee from the State, which is the difference between $100,000 minus the total
received between July 1 and June 30. This amount may increase or decrease based on the number of
qualifying documents.
c. $45,000 – Strategic Initiative Grant. This is a number received from the Wisconsin DOA, which is what they
