Making An Impact: Community Development March 2022

  • A pair of towns contacted Kevin asking for assistance with the process of adding standards to their zoning ordinance for wind energy facilities. With the recent news of a developer looking at siting 16 tall (673 ft.) wind turbines throughout the county, having state-compliant standards in place will allow these towns to protect public health, safety, and welfare by enforcing rules
    for setbacks, noise, shadow flicker, interference, and several other issues.

“As always, the Town of Herman PZC, and Town Board, are very grateful for your expertise and effort, as well as for the holistic partnership with you and your colleagues at UW-Extension Sheboygan County. You’re the best, Kevin…we sincerely appreciate all of your hard work!”

  • Kevin filled key roles in creating and distributing a survey for the Waldo Pond Improvement Association. The 25-question survey seeks input from landowners and residents owning land or living in the vicinity of the Waldo dam and millpond. The Association intends to use the results to direct its project planning for the care and maintenance of the site. Survey results will also be shared with the Village to provide input for Village officials to consider as they make key decisions regarding the dam and millpond in the future.
