Stonehenge Villas Subdivision approved By Winona Planners

By -
Steve Snyder, attorney representing Stonehenge Villas, said the existing condominiums will be converted to a subdivision.
“We have sanitary sewer in place and an architectural control committee must approve the plans,” Snyder said.
Snyder said decorative fences will be allowed, and there will be 25 single-family dwelling units created.
In other business, the commission reviewed a neighborhood preservation ordinance.
The town does not currently have the ordinance, and if approved would provide law enforcement with authority for enforcement, according to Craig Allebach, town coordinator.
“We are not here to fine people, but to bring them in compliance,” he said.
Gene Seiman, building commissioner, created suggested items he would like to have in the ordinance.
The council will review the ordinance and see where Seiman’s suggestions fit in the ordinance and review it again at its next meeting.
Items in the ordinance include possibly lowering from six to four the number of unrelated people defining a single family; not allowing carports in the front yard, but the side yard and back yard; not allowing canvas-covered structures to be used as garages, storage sheds or boat covers; not allowing wood burning boilers to be planted in structures like garages or sheds; and not permitting clotheslines to be permitted in the front of residences.
The ordinance also defines dwellings as a building which is wholly or partly used or intended to be used as a residence, but not including a tent, trailer or other structure which is designated to be transportable and is used for less than 30 days.
The council will review how they would like to define single family.
