 Connecting
Land Use and Transportation in Your Comprehensive Plan
Land use and
transportation are significantly connected to each other and have an
effect on virtually everyone in a community. While land use
decisions are generally considered local and regional issues, the
transportation impacts that accompany land use decisions can
transcend the boundaries of communities and regions.
 Conditional
Uses
Part 1 of this two-part article describes the basics of conditional
uses: what they are, who decides them and what conditions may be
included. Part 2 discusses how conditional uses are appealed and
recent case law that sheds light on an unanswered question: when a
conditional use decision of the Plan Commission is appealed to the
Board of Adjustment or Board of Appeals, what standards of review
apply? |
 E-Mail:
Important Considerations For Local Officials
E-mail offers
many advantages over communication by telephone or "snail mail."
However, local officials need to bear two important things in mind
as they use e-mail. First, governmental bodies are subject to
Wisconsin's open meetings law. Second, local governments are also
subject to Wisconsin's public records law.
