Planning commission recommends annexation of parcel T7047700K, pending DOA review

The Village of Jackson Planning Commission recommended the Village Board approve Ordinance 26-02 to annex parcel T7047700K and assign a temporary B1 community business district designation.

At the April 16 meeting, staff said the applicants are Robert J. Leua and Andrea S. Leua (revocable trust) and clarified that Department of Natural Resources approval is not required for the annexation but that the Department of Administration (DOA) has received the application and has up to 20 days to issue its review. Staff said the ordinance and the DOA review "sort of go hand in hand" and that the final ordinance will be completed after DOA feedback.

Commissioners asked whether the motion should be conditioned on DOA action; staff said the commission could condition its recommendation but that the ordinance itself will be completed once DOA information is available. Staff also noted a local excavating company has expressed interest in placing clean spoils on the site and that bringing the parcel into the village and the temporary B1 designation will enable appropriate building-height allowances for future proposals.

The commission moved, seconded, and approved the recommendation by voice vote. The recommendation will be forwarded to the Village Board for final action and any ordinance refinements after the DOA review.
