The Ashland County Zoning and Land Committee voted Aug. 5 to forward a proposed subdivision plat for the Town of LaPointe to the county board for approval.

County staff told the committee the plat had been reviewed by required state and county reviewers and returned to the surveyor with minor corrections. "There's 10 new lots going here," staff said, urging the committee to forward the plat for final action at the county board.

Pat Kenny moved to approve forwarding the updated plat; Jim Schultz seconded and the motion carried with recorded ayes and no opposition. Staff said the county board meeting to consider the plat is scheduled for Sept. 16.

The committee noted the developer and surveyor are already marketing lots and asked staff to place the item on the county board agenda for the September meeting so closing and recording can proceed once the board acts.

Because the plat requires county review under state statute, committee members said the returned minor corrections from reviewers should be resolved with the surveyor before the board signs the final plat.
