E. G. ELVEHJEM, Chairman JOHN BOSTROM E. M. LYNCH DAME COW.!TY ZONING COMMITTEE TTEE Court Hov se ViAD I SON 3, ' WI SCONS I ni. Gentlemen: ,Attached is a copy of the revised tentative draft of a proposed new Pand county zonin_ ordinance. This draft is the result of some three years of intermittent work. Copies of this draft are being sent to each member of each town board and each town clerk in the county, regardless of whether the town is operating under the present ordinance or not. Copies are also being sent to certain selected attorneys and real estate men who have, at some time or other, had something to do with the county zoning ordinance. After opportunity has been given for study of the ordinance the zoning com- mittee will hold a series of informal meetings at various points in the county, at which town board members and other interested parties may discuss the ordinance and its various pro-.isions. Since one evening is not a long enough time to read the ordinance through in its entirety and discuss it, it is urged that town board members study the ordinance before the meetings and come pre- pared to.ask• questions on those portions which may require explanation, or offer suggestions where changes may appear to be advisable. _t these same meetings the location, area and boundaries of the new districts should be determined, and a good deal of thought should be given to this matter so as to eliminate or reduce as far as possible repeated amendments in the future. In those towns not now operating under the zoning ordinance, it is suggested that the board members consider whether they may be missing out on some impor- tant benefits. It would be a fine thing to have one hundred per cent coverage in the county when the ordinance is adoptedo It will, of course, be necessary to have formal hearings after the committee submits the final draft to the county board, but it is hoped by these informal meetings to eliminate as many bugs as possible in the ordinance and leave clear sailing at the formal hearings. It is the sincere desire of the committee to provide for I;ane county the best possible ordinance that can be drafted, and to that end it will cheerfully con- sider any suggestions that may be offered, regardless of sourse. The active cooperation of every interested party is solicited. DAME COUNTY ZONING COMMITTEE Chairman
