Planning & Development

“In the year 2045 and beyond, residents envision the City of Green Lake to be a safe and friendly community that has valued natural and historical preservation of the lake community, utilizing “smart growth” to provide a variety of housing options and business development, recognized for parks and outdoor recreation, and an excellent School District”.

The City of Green Lake Plan Commission oversees the City’s physical development and ensures an orderly expansion consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The eight-member board is appointed for three-year terms to include the Mayor, a Council member, five community members, and one alternate member. The Plan Commission reviews land use plans, conducts site plan reviews for new buildings and developments, and advises the City Council on development items. The Plan Commission plays a crucial role in guiding the future of the City through recommendations and policies.

The Plan Commission will conduct special meetings, however, usually meets on the second Monday of the month at 4pm. All meetings are posted to the public in conformance to the Open Meeting Law.
