Ordinance to Adopt the Village of River Hills

Comprehensive Plan

 

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT the Village of River Hills Village Board will conduct a public hearing on a proposed ordinance to adopt the Village of River Hills Comprehensive Plan. The meeting and public hearing will be held on November 18, 2009, at 7:00 pm at the Village Hall, 7650 N. Pheasant Lane. The plan was recommended to the Village Board by resolution of the Plan Commission at its October 13, 2009 meeting.

 

The public hearing will be held to gather public comment on the draft Village of River Hills Comprehensive Plan. The plan is a blueprint for the short- and long-range development, redevelopment, and preservation of the Village of River Hills as required by Wisconsin’s “Smart Growth” comprehensive planning legislation in Wis. Stats, 66.1001. This plan is intended to update and replace the village’s previous comprehensive plan. This Village of River Hills Comprehensive Plan is designed to be used by village officials as a policy guide to protect scenic resources and promote residential development patterns that are compatible with the character of River Hills over the next twenty years. The Plan includes recommendations for maintaining high-quality, cost-effective infrastructure and public services; working with local, regional, and state agencies on transportation and natural resources issues; and balancing individual property rights with community interests and goals. The plan also includes transportation, natural features, existing land use/land cover, and future land use maps.

 

A “recommended draft” of the Village of River Hills Comprehensive Plan and the plan adoption ordinance is available for review at the Village Hall, the North Shore Library (6800 N. Port Washington Road), and on the village’s website (www.riverhillswi.com). Residents are encouraged to review the plan and submit written comments to the village before the public hearing. All written comments received before the public hearing will be forwarded to the Village Board Members. Oral comments may be made at the public hearing. Please contact Thomas Tollaksen, Village Manager, at 414-352-8213 for more information.

 

Dated this 14th day of October, 2009.
