The CARPC worked diligently reviewing the original goals and objectives of the former RPC used in evaluating urban service area requests. The CARPC used the original goals and objectives and the service area policies and criteria of the 1997 Dane County Land Use and Transportation Plan as a starting point and modified them through extensive discussions.
The following draft documents are a reflection of this work. The drafts reflect additions and modifications that the majority of the commissioners felt were needed to update the documents. The Goals and Objectives document (Red lined Goals and Objectives document) is to guide the Commission’s general direction and the portion of its work that has to do with creating a vision of the region. The Policies and Criteria document (Redlined Policies and Criteria document) is to guide the Commission’s approach to expanding sewer service areas in the region to accommodate the expected growth while protecting or restoring its natural resources.
