Tree Preservation/RV Ordinance

Where's the Tree Preservation Ordinance that the Village promised? The budget item to write said ordinance was $2000 but was removed. The Community Development Director Jean Werbie said at the last Plan Commission meeting that The orchards, and any new subdivisions, have language in HOA covenants that prevent trees from being removed. But what happens if an HOA Board decides to ignore enforcement or rule and cuts down all the trees because people want to expand their yards, put in a pool, add a park, or just open up for light? Without a Tree Preservation Ordinance, the Village has little legal recourse.

Where's the RV parking Ordinance? The one that supposedly ensnared former Trustee Jeff Lauer before last election. I have asked repeatedly when it will be written and approved but have heard nothing from the Development Administrator. Again, seems like a lot of energy is spent discussing why the Village is treated so poorly by Kenosha News but not much on substance.

My goodness, is there anything good or positive about Pleasant Prairie? I can't believe that it's that bad. Maybe you ought to move.

There is some good. You can read all about the good in the Village's Newsletter.
