Land Use Planning includes administering the county subdivision and platting regulations. Currently, the planning commission reviews all land divisions within the villages and towns that result in the creation of lots 10 acres or less in size that are located outside of the sewer service area and 40 acres or less in size inside of the sewer service area. Staff also reviews and makes recommendations regarding requests for variances from the subdivision regulations, serves as an objecting agency for all subdivision plats located within the cities, and develops Area Development Plans, erosion control and stormwater management plans, and the recommendations of the Brown County Comprehensive Plan-Vision for Great Communities.
