No county development plan, part thereof, or amendment thereto that is adopted by a county board under this section may take effect in a town unless it is approved by that town's board, except that a town board has no authority to approve or disapprove a shoreland zoning ordinance under s. 59.692 or a floodplain zoning ordinance under s. 87.30. A town board shall take a vote to approve or disapprove of the county board's action under this paragraph not later than 90 days after the clerk sends out the duplicate copy of the county board's action. If a town board does not approve or disapprove of the county board's action within the time period specified in this paragraph, the county board's action takes effect in that town.
