Oh, so there's two people that you're saying this person.

Okay, he's good.

I would like to call

that

or ready to call

to order.

I hope so.

Alright, so I would like to call to order the November 18th, 2025 Agricultural and Rural Affairs meeting.

The first item on our agenda is the approval of minutes from our October 21st Ag and Rural Affairs meeting.

Do I have

so move?

Okay, we have a any one second.

All those in favor say aye.

Aye.

Opposed.

Motion passes.

Aye.

Let's

move to the next item of business on our agenda, which is public appearance for any non-agenda items.

I see we have a lot of people online.

Is

there anyone that would like to speak on something that is not already on the agenda?

We have no one in the room.

Hearing none.

We're gonna move on to our next item, which is the gender review DM.

So this evening, everyone, we have a certified survey map for the Department of Corrections, which I will introduce.

And I think everyone on the Zoom, I think is uh related to that particular item.

And then I will turn over the meeting to uh Elder Ledosa, and he will introduce item B for the potential for rural bike tours, and then we'll finish up on item C within farmland preservation and comprehensive plan.

Um, just some discussion items um for us to work through.

And that is uh the meeting that we have this evening.

Thank you, Deanna.

So we'll move right along to agenda item 5A, which is a certified survey map, CS-2620-25.

Request by Lee Strait, agent for the Wisconsin Department of Corrections to join three parcels into one lot on property adjacent to 4986 County Highway app.

Do you

want to get us started, Deanna?

Okay, great.

And then I I believe we'll have um some people online if they would be better to answer any questions or comments than I might be.

I think what I so what is before you this evening is a certified survey map that is going to take three parcels, all the parcels are zoned uh AX.

Uh, and all of the existing land use is agriculture.

And the reason to create the CSM out of the three agricultural parcels is to allow the construction of a DOC facility for juveniles.

The site of Butts Highway 14 and County M on County M.

And let's see, the main building will be one building that will be approximately 120,000 square feet in floor area, um, mostly one story that would be uh supportive house supportive spaces and housing for up to 32 males and eight juveniles.

The facilities would have food service, health services, education, counseling, vocational training.

There's a bit more details in your packet.

What I will do, and once again, um apologize because uh this item uh came to Plan Commission as a conditional use permit and an architectural design review a couple months ago.
