A View From The Garden

• About

At 6 PM, Fritz and I will be sitting in the town hall of Delavan, WI waiting for the vote to approve our request for a zoning change on our property. The Green Leaf Inn needs to be on commercial land, and so we are asking to change our 5 acre’s agriculture zoning and residential zoning to B4 zoning. The town planning commission approved our request two weeks ago, and the next step is to seek final approval from the Town Board. The new president will be there, but she is familiar with our story as we see her every week at church. So…we are hoping for a speedy, positive vote tonight. Of course, as soon as the land becomes commercial, Fritz and I will need a special “manager’s permit” to continue to live in our house! That will have to be requested along with the other conditional use permits (including the wind turbine) and that will need a separate approval process – and I’m sure a bit more debate. One step at a time…we have excellent representation in the persons of our architect team, and our attourney team – who have become experts in the re-zone process, so we are in good hands.
