necessary, to assure a common understanding among
the several governmental levels and agencies and to
enable their staffs to program the necessary plan imple-
mentation work. The following is recommended:
1. It is recommended that the seven county boards
within the Region formally adopt the recommended
regional land use plan as it affects each county, as
authorized by Section 66.945(12) of the Wisconsin
Statutes, after recommendation by the respective
county planning committees or park and planning
commissions, as a guide to future land use devel-
opment within the county.
2. It is recommended that the plan commissions of
cities, villages, and towns in the Region adopt the
recommended regional land use plan. The plan
should be adopted by the local plan commissions
as local master plans pursuant to Section 62.23(3)(b)
of the Wisconsin Statutes. It is further recommended
that city councils, village boards, and town boards
in the Region adopt the regional land use plan as
a matter of endorsing the local plan commis-
sion action.
3. It is recommended that other local, areawide, State,
and Federal agencies and units of government
identified in Table 38 as having plan implemen-
tation responsibilities endorse or acknowledge the
plan as appropriate. In combination, those agencies
and units of government have a wide range of
responsibilities related to the protection of soil and
water resources and air quality; the provision of
sanitary sewer, water supply, and stormwater drain-
age facilities; the provision of transportation facili-
ties and transit service; the provision of park and
open space sites; and the conservation and renewal
of existing urban development. After endorsing or
acknowledging the regional land use plan, each of
the concerned agencies should consider the plan
recommendations in carrying out its various
programs and activities.
While the Wisconsin Statutes do not specify a time frame
for adoption or endorsement of the regional plan, it is
recommended that the concerned units and agencies of
government adopt or endorse the plan within six months of
their receipt of the certified plan.
Many units of government have acted to formally adopt
the design year 1990, 2000, and/or 2010 plans. Adoption
of the year 1990, 2000, and 2010 plans by counties, cities,
villages, and towns in the Region is indicated on Maps 18

The year 1990 regional land use plan was formally adopted by six of the
seven counties in the Region. In addition, 40 cities, villages, and towns in the
Region acted to adopt that plan, or, in lieu of such adoption, prepared in
cooperation with the Commission and adopted a community-level land use
plan which refined and detailed the regional plan.

through 20 and in Table 39. On Maps 18 through 20 and
in Table 39, adopting cities, villages, and towns include
those cities, villages, and towns which have adopted the
certified regional land use plan and those cities, villages,
and towns which, in lieu of such adoption, have prepared
in cooperation with the Commission and adopted a
community-level land use plan which refined and detailed
the regional plan. Adoption of the new land use plan by
units and agencies of government that have adopted
the design year 1990, 2000, or 2010 plans will serve to
substitute the new plan for the old.
