Motion Carried 7-0. Discussion and possible action re: Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Policy amendments and other format changes to Comprehensive Plan. Discussion occurred regarding review of CUP on sale or ownership changes. S. Christensen recommended the CUP expire when there is an ownership change. Wilmot expressed concerns with the automatic expiration and how it could negatively impact the business, specifically in an inheritance situation and the potential change of CUP uses and conditions in the Comprehensive Plan, would there be a “grandfather clause”. Barmack stated that a review with the change of ownership seems beneficial to the Town and the applicant. Clarification needed from Dane County, can a CUP go with owner, the land, automatic expiration, and/or review with change of ownership. Goth reviewed the status of the formatting changes to the Comprehensive Plan. Supervisor Fitzgerald noted that there are two areas that the Commission will need to focus on content, one being that there is reference to a Park Plan that had yet to be written, the Park Plan is complete, there will be significant language changes there, another focus is Chapter 8 Land Use with main focus on clear, readable language and formatting. Noting the importance of the Comprehensive Plan as focal point of communication for the Town. Public Comment. No public comment. Communications. Chair Kay inquired about doing site visits in the future for petitions. The Commission agreed that they would do site visits independently. Adjournment. Moved by S. Christensen, seconded by Hagemann, to adjourn at 7:40pm. Motion Carried 7-0.
