Oct 22, 2024.  Standing room only.  Strong opposition from residents opposed to the change.  The decision by the APC was “tabled” until the next meeting. A site plan was requested to provide a clearer understanding of how the property would be used. The follow-on meeting for Wed Night with the BZA is postponed until next month.

• • Issues raised by residents: Traffic, Noise, Flooding, Narrow roads, Not a good fit for the area.  Area is in a flood plain and flood area. DNR has review and approval authority of any proposed permanent structure in a flood way (if even possible).

  • In 2021, “the Brown County Board of Zoning Appeals denied a special exception to allow a 185 spot luxury RV campground.” The location was on old 46, across from the North Gate of the State Park in a field off of Old State Road 46 near the intersection of Clay Lick Road. The petitioner, Stephen Alexander, was requesting a special exception for a private recreational development on 20 acres of his 71.76 acre parcel. BZA members commented it was a good idea but bad location.  The proposal included an extensive site plan  and tentative approval for sewer service.  Also, preliminary discussions with DNR  on floodway issues.
