Walworth County done arguing over rezone

ELKHORN—The Walworth County Zoning Agency isn’t going to ruffle any more feathers.

The committee decided it was best not to petition the landowners or town officials any further regarding the required rezoning of two parcels of land in Darien Township.

“What goes around comes around,” committee Vice Chairman Alan Kupsik said. “When they come back here for a rezone, we’ll them they’re in violation (of the conditional-use permit). I don’t see wasting any more time and money.”

Two farm fields were zoned from prime agriculture to allow mining for clay: -- A 26-acre field owned by MCHA on Highway 11 between Turtle Creek and Old Highway 89 was rezoned in 1989. -- A 67-acre field owned by town Supervisor Daniel Boss on County Line Road south of Highway 11/14 was rezoned in 1999.

In the conditional-use permits for both properties, Walworth County required the land be zoned back to prime agriculture once the clay was removed. The clay now lines the Mallard Ridge Landfill on Highway 11. Neither property owner applied for the A-1 rezone.

"What goes around comes around." Sounds like a a little boy saying "I am going to tell on you."
