Info:
Process for getting a Variance
2.25.04
Basic assumption: the property is owned by the person seeking a variance.
NOTE: In the Town of Blooming Grove, the Town itself does not have the
final authority on variances. Dane County does. That being said, the Town
can help a resident through the process, and in some cases will write
a letter to the County in support of the variance. It is highly recommended
that a Town resident utilize the Town's Plan Commission when attempting
to secure a variance from the County.
PROCESS:
Recommended: Approach neighbors in the immediate area with the plan, include
benefits of it.
Recommended: If this a large project, consult with an attorney and explore
different options.
Recommended: Select a specific plan. If much different than the original
plan, you may wish to re-approach the neighbors to get their input.
Strongly Recommended: Contact
the chair of the Town of Blooming Grove Plan Commission. Go to the Plan
Commission with the plan, including benefits of it. Attend one or more
Plan Commission meetings to attempt to get Town support for the variance.
MUST: A letter is produced by the Town Clerk, and sent
to Dane County -- and states that the variance is being applied for.
Possibility: A letter might come from the Town Planning Commission written
to the Dane County Board of Adjustment, which states its support of the
variance.
MUST: Dane County Board of Adjustment handles the process
at this point. Contact their office for meeting dates and times (266-9083).
