PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Town Board of the Town of Cottage Grove will hold a public hearing at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, October 6, 2025, at the Cottage Grove Town Hall, 4058 County Road N, to receive public comments on proposed amendments to Chapter 15 (Land Division and Planning Code) of the Town Code of Ordinances.  The proposed amendments would align Town procedures and requirements for Conditional Use Permit applications with a recent Dane County zoning ordinance amendment.   These include no requirement anymore for a Town public hearing, that the Town must consider only County-provided materials to make its recommendations, and that such recommendations must have a “factual basis.”  The proposed amendments also clarify Town requirements for rezoning applications.

All interested parties are invited to attend said hearing and be heard.  After the public hearing, the Town Board will consider action on the proposed amendments to Chapter 15.  The proposed amendments can be found at https://tn.cottagegrove.wi.gov/ordinance-revisions-pending/, or are available for viewing at the Town Hall, 4058 County Road N, Cottage Grove, WI.   Any person who has a qualifying disability, as defined by the Americans With Disabilities Act, who requires the meeting or materials at the meeting to be in an accessible location or format must contact the Town Clerk at (608) 839-5021 or clerk@tn.cottagegrove.wi.gov at least 24 hours prior to the commencement of the meeting so that any necessary arrangements can be made to accommodate each request.
