The Plan and Review Commission (PRC) is responsible for drafting and updating the Town of Spider Lake’s Comprehensive Plan, and for administering the Land Use/Zoning Ordinances of the Town. As a Town with village powers, TOSL has its own land use and zoning ordinances, including shoreland zoning, which is more restrictive than WI State and Sawyer County zoning.
- These ordinances are required by Wisconsin state law to be consistent with the TOSL Comprehensive Plan.
- The PRC enforces the Town’s ordinances through evaluation of Land use/building permits, conditional use permits, and land subdivision. It also maintains the official Town Map.
- The PRC meets once a month on the first Wednesday of the month at 6PM. All meetings are open to the public.
- The members of the PRC are appointed by the Chair of the Board of Supervisors with the approval of the Town Board.
The members of the PRC are:
- Sarah Delaney, Chairman
- Tim Sheldon, Vice Chairman
- Fred Haueter
- Steve Smith
- Don Becker
- To be filled (alternate)
