Why have I been directed to the county planning staff for a town or village planning project?
There are two potential reasons for this: First, a local municipality may be working with a resident on a site plan or a permit and recognize that issues that are enforced by the County may impact their project. For example, towns do not enforce the protection of certain wetlands but Brown County may. In this case, a town inspector or administrator may refer a resident to the County. Second, a village or town may have contracted the county planning staff to operate as their “village or town planner.” If this is the case, the county planning staff reviews projects on the behalf of the municipality, acting as if they were a municipality employee, not a county planner. The benefit to the public is the planner also has a background in related some county requirements that could impact a project in the long-run.There are three “local assistance” planners in Brown County: Aaron Schuette, Peter Schleinz, and Jon Motquin. Each are assigned to specific municipalities.
