Realtors Join Leaders in Cash-Or-Land Platting Fight
The Greater La Crosse Board of Realtors and four town chairmen petition the City Plan Commission and Council Judiciary Committee to loosen a new platting rule. The ordinance requires cash or land donations of 200 per residential lot and 400 per commercial or industrial lot, with cash preferred if land is inadequate. The group seeks town board input on land donations within towns and asked for May 2 or May 27 meetings, but Mayor Warren Loveland said May 2 was not on the agenda.
