  2. effects of the existing use on surrounding properties, including detriment to the full and complete use of such properties and potential for concerns related to possible nuisances;
  3. effects of the existing use on the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for those uses permitted in the zoning district in which they are located; and

About Reviewers
The following are involved in the review of this type of application.

The Town Board is the governing body of the Town of Eagle and is responsible for making decisions on local policies, budgets, and ordinances. The board also reviews certain types of development projects. The board consists of 5 members who are elected to two-year, overlapping terms.

The Plan Commission is a 7-member body established by the Town Board to review certain development projects and act on other matters. Depending on the type of the development proposal, the commission may be advisory to the Town Board or have the authority to make the final decision. Three members also serve on the Town Board; the remaining members are town residents.

Planning staff provides technical support to the Town Board, Plan Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals, developers, neighbors, and other interested parties to facilitate the development review process.
