Committee approves subdivision plat for Town of LaPointe creating 10 lots

The Ashland County Zoning and Land Committee voted Aug. 5 to approve a proposed subdivision plat in the Town of LaPointe and forward it to the county board for final approval.

Zoning staff told the committee that the plat had been circulated to standard reviewers, state review comments had been returned to the surveyor, and only minor corrections remained. The plat would create 10 new lots; the developer and surveyor had requested prompt review because lots were already being marketed.

Pat Kenny made the motion to approve forwarding the plat; Jim Schultz seconded and the motion passed by voice vote. Staff said the plat will be placed on the Ashland County Board agenda for its Sept. 16 meeting for final action.

The committee noted the statutory requirement that subdivisions receive county review and that staff had followed the standard review process before recommending approval to forward the plat for the county board’s consideration.
