PLANNER REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

TOWN COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT PLAN (CDP) MAP AMENDMENT

DATE: November 2, 2020

PETITIONER: Town of Ottawa

W360 S3337 STH 67

Dousman, WI 53118

LOCATION OF PROJECT BOUNDARY EXPANSION AREA:

Refer to Exhibit A.

REQUEST AND ANALYSIS:

To amend the Adopted WDNR Project Boundary (Paradise Valley Wildlife Area of the Kettle Moraine State Forest „1¤7 Southern Unit) that is part of the Town of Ottawa’s Comprehensive Development Plan by incorporating the current adopted boundary limits (refer to Exhibit A).

The current area depicted on the Town of Ottawa’s CDP map is out of date and should reflect the current boundary line so those areas can be recognized for planning purposes when efforts to protect, preserve and conserve open space, wildlife habitat, the natural resource base, farmland and the rural landscape in the Town of Ottawa are desired.

The boundary incorporates lands with frontage along the Bark River, the state-owned Glacial-Drumlin Bike Trail, wetlands, woodlands, floodplain, various water resources, varying kettle moraine topography, wildlife habitat, some prime agricultural lands/lands that could continue in farming use, lands that could be restored as prairie, etc.

And while the updated boundary does include a few new parcels, it also excludes a few parcels currently included such as the Kettle Moraine Gold Course, as well as cleans up the boundary where lands have already been purchased.

PLANNER RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the request to amend the Town of Ottawa’s Comprehensive Development Plan map be approved. Based on the above, approval of the request would update the Town’s CDP to include the current limits of the project boundary so that those areas can be recognized for planning purposes when efforts to protect, preserve and conserve open space, wildlife habitat, the natural resource base, farmland and the rural landscape in the Town of Ottawa are desired. The proposed amendment complies with the objectives and standards contained in the Town of Ottawa’s Comprehensive Development Plan which includes the protection of both the rural character, farmland, and wildlife habitats of the Town. These lands could provide not only public access to natural resources, but also wildlife habitat and public recreational opportunities, and continued farming opportunities, which in turn protect and preserve the aesthetic appearance of the rural landscape in the Town of Ottawa.
