TOWN OF SPRINGDALE

Springdale Town Officials

This Land Use Plan is prepared for the general purpose of guiding and accomplishing an adjusted, coordinated, and harmonious development of the Town of Springdale, which will, in accordance with existing and future needs, best promote order, convenience, prosperity, public health, safety, and general welfare, as well as economy and efficiency in the process of any development that occurs. The Land Use Plan is intended to aid the Town of Springdale Plan Commission and Town Board in the performance of their duties relating to the growth and development of the town. The Town of Springdale has been experiencing an increased amount of development pressure. The town recognizes that unplanned development, particularly on a large scale, can occur in a way that conflicts with and intrudes upon the general intent of preserving land for agricultural use and promoting the public health, safety, and general welfare for its residents. To avoid those problems and to preserve valuable land, this Land Use Plan has been developed to amend the Town of Springdale's current Land Use Plan, which was adopted in 1981.

The goals and policies in this amended Land Use Plan are intended to provide a basis for the adoption and implementation of land use, development, and land division/subdivision and other ordinances. The Town of Springdale recognizes that the Land Use Plan will require periodic review and revision in light of changing conditions and experience gained in its implementation. The Town of Springdale Plan Commission may amend or expand this Land Use Plan from time to time as the need arises. This Land Use Plan will be reviewed annually, to improve the clarity and implementation of the policies. The Town of Springdale Plan Commission and Town Board will determine whether a major reevaluation is needed at the end of each five year period to meet any changing needs of the community.

Through this Land Use Plan, the Town of Springdale is establishing guidelines that current landowners and residents, potential landowners and residents, and/or developers are assured will apply fairly and uniformly to all citizens and upon which development decisions can be based. By referring to the goals and policies, it is possible for public and private decision-makers to consider the impact of each proposal on the town.
