Report on Comprehensive Plan Work Session and Consideration of the Planning
Commission Recommendation on the Development Moratorium
Commissioner Pisula reported on the public hearing on the updated Comprehensive Plan
conducted by the Planning Commission on February 21, 1995. He stated that on a 3 to 1 vote
taken at its February 23 work session/meeting, the Commission recommends to the Council that
the development moratorium be allowed to lapse as scheduled on March 1, 1995. Details are
contained in the minutes of the respective meetings.
The Council considered and discussed the status of the development moratorium. No action was
taken because the members agreed that the moratorium should lapse as scheduled since it has

Interim Ordinance No. 295 adopting a moratorium on review and approval of certain subdivision
in the City of Shorewood lapses on March 1, 1995.
