History:
After the public hearing held January 19, 2006. The Town of Oconomowoc Planning Commission held a meeting April 3, 2006 and recommended to the Town Board to approve the rezoning of the property.

May 1, 2006 - the Town Board unanimously, for the second time, voted to deny the rezone request.

June, 1, 2006 - Waukesha County Planning Commission voted to deny the rezone request. In a vote 5:1.

July 18, 2006 - The County Land Use, Parks and Environment Commitee, voted to approve the request 4: 1

This is it our last chance to stop this rezone!!!! Please don't remain silent on Tuesday, July 25!!!! If you can't make the meeting call or email our County Board Members. (click on the link below)

Thank you to all who continue to support this issue. You can continue to help by writing letters to our County Board members. Click here for a list of names and addresses.

The issue is that Waukesha County has to decide whether to change zoning to allow a new subdivision on prime agricultural land!  We applaud the Town of Oconomowoc who denied the rezone request. The 42 acre parcel is located north of Oconomowoc just east of Monterey and North of the Ashippun River. The proposed development would encroach on the few remaining successful active working farms left in Waukesha County, and in particular Oconomowoc Township.   Preserving this parcel leads to preserving a whole block of farms whose owners want to remain in farming! The struggle for farmers to survive today is ever increasing due to being boxed in by development. We need to stand together to preserve our farmland and support the farmers who are trying to keep their farms operating!
