A. DEBORAH / DAVE SCHEDLER (revised) Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA): For Campground.
Director Kastrosky read an email from the Applicants requesting withdrawal of this item until further notice and said this
request will only come back with a new application and fee; it will not be heard in October – new application not
received by deadline..
B. DEBORAH & DAVE SCHEDLER (revised) Conditional Use Request: Construct / Operate a Campground on
their 18.31–acre parcel (ID# 024-1079-05), located in part of Gov’t Lot 5, Section 28, Township 47 North, Range 8
West, Town of Iron River; request consists of 125 sites & other structures (i.e. 100 50 seasonal sites; 3 drive-through
sites; 10 42 primitive sites; 12 30 overnight sites; an office/mini-store/laundry, a dump station; shower / restrooms
facility playground, gazebo and possible swimming pool).
[Note: Items C., D., and E. below are separate Agenda Items, however, discussion of all three was combined
and discussed as follows.]
C. TERRANCE PETERS REZONE REQUEST: Forestry-1 to Residential-2 on 78.21-acre parcel located in part of
SW ¼ of the NE ¼ (#008-1038-04); part of NE ¼ of the NW ¼ (part of 008-1038-07), part of SE ¼ of the NW ¼ (part
of 008-1038-10); part of NE ¼ of the SW ¼ (part of 008-1039-01); and part of Gov’t Lot 2 (008-1039-05); all in Section
33, Township 50 North, Range 4 West, Town of Bayview.
Don Frey announced Terry Peters was unable to be present (he and others represented Peters). Frey said Peters
purchased property about six years ago and approached all aspects of this cautiously wanting to follow all zoning
regulations; he presented history and said the Town approved the current plan. Surveyor Robert Mick presented
exhibits, maps, and aerial photos.
Atty. Jack Carlson presented the plans, acreages to be used for residential use (25.58) as well as open space plans,
reviewed the Conservation Subdivision use per Bayfield County ordinance. Carlson reviewed his memorandum, dated
09/20/2007, which was before the Committee.
Surveyor Larry Nelson answered questions from Supervisor Miller re lot sizes. Plans are for seventeen (17) lots on
25.58 acres which will be privately held. Kastrosky explained the clustering/condensing aspects of this new part of the
Ordinance.
Carlson reviewed the ‘Association’ to be formed, restrictions, and covenants for residential lots noting that covenants
don’t need Zoning Committee approval but he wanted to advise of compliance with requirements. RE the rezone
request (F-1 to R-2) Carlson said R-2 allows for more orderly development and natural resource preservation;
regarding ‘open area’, the Zoning Dept has enforcement power over that.
At this point, Director Kastrosky recommended the Committee deal w/ Item C (rezone) to see if there was support /
opposition. No one spoke in support of the rezone.
Opposition to Rezone:
• Sue Jenicek (Town of Bayview resident) said she doesn’t believe the rezone is necessary; property was
Bayfield County Planning & Zoning Committee Public Hearing / Meeting – Sept. 20, 2007
Page 2 of 7
purchased as F-1. Concerns: water runoff, what additional residences will do to area wells including hers;
precedence-setting for other developers.
• Ed Endres (Carrier Rd. resident) – Concerns: wells, and affect on his home below this development as
changes take place when roads are put in (washouts and natural flow of water down the hill).
• Joe Johanik Concerns: development now, future increase, setbacks for homes/garages; clustering/
condensing; that this is against Bayview residents’ vote in the past for five acres per residence; severe
rainstorms on hillside; setting a rezoning precedence and who will stop it; doesn’t believe topography would
allow 17 lots even in F-1.
• Bill Bailey (property owner to the west) Concerns: overdevelopment (possibility of property to the north being
sold/developed); wells – has 600’ deep well, and livelihood of greenhouse, 17 more wells concerns him as well
as increased concern if there is future development.
Jack Carlson noted that even if not rezoned, seventeen lots could be on this property in F-1, however, this plan brings
more control into the issue and on 4.5-acre lots in F-1, there could be seventeen residential wells. He reported the EIA
is filed, erosion control and stormwater management plans are developed (stormwater management plan goes to DNR
for approval).
Engineer Bill Kurtz addressed runoff / stormwater requirements; the compiled report is at DNR now, is approved and
permit to be prepared next week; reported runoff figures of existing conditions and proposed during/after construction;
noted building sites also fall under UDC codes.
Bob Mick: referred again to exhibits, noting a house could be put on every lot; said this (plan) provides more
protection than any other way.
Rezone File Report - Karl Kastrosky: Town Board Approval is on file with no other correspondence (in support nor
opposition).
D. TERRANCE PETERS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS (EIA): For Conservation Subdivision
[Note: Items C., D., and E. are separate Agenda Items, however, discussion of all three was combined and
discussed basically as one.]
Speaking in Support: None
Opposition:
• Sue Jenicek: Expressed distress that no one can answer what this project will do to her well.
Kastrosky said Ms. Jenicek raised a valid point which is a separate issue, is not addressed in the EIA; is not required
to be for approval of this document. Ms. Jenicek asked who would address the issue. L.U.S. Travis Tulowitzky said the
only time he was aware of requirement for review is when a “high capacity” well is applied for.
E. TERRANCE PETERS CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST: Develop 17-Lot Conservation Subdivision on his 78.21–
acre parcel described as part of the SW ¼ of the NE ¼ (#008-1038-04); part of the NE ¼ of the NW ¼ (part of 008-
1038-07), part of the SE ¼ of the NW ¼ (part of 008-1038-10); part of the NE ¼ of the SW ¼ (part of 008-1039-01);
and part of Gov’t Lot 2 (008-1039-05); all in Section 33, Township 50 North, Range 4 West, Town of Bayview.
[Note: Items C., D., and E. are separate Agenda Items, however, discussion of all three was combined and
discussed as one.]

F. EARL & LINDA GREGOIRE REZONE REQUEST: Residential-2 to Forestry-2 on their 2.14-acre parcel (ID
#004-1233-07) located in part of the SW ¼ of the SW¼, that portion lying South of Eight Mile Lake Road Section 35,
Township 46 North, Range 9 West, Town of Barnes.
[Note: Items F & G are connected and addressed at one time.]
Bayfield County Forester Kirby Dernovsek reviewed this request as well as Item G., noting Bayfield County
Forestry Committee’s approval of a property swap, as well as State approval in taking 1.08-acres out of County
Bayfield County Planning & Zoning Committee Public Hearing / Meeting – Sept. 20, 2007
Page 3 of 7
Forestry holdings, which makes better sense and better access to County Forest. AZA Mike Furtak said this change
will create uniform zoning.
File Report: Kastrosky noted Town approval is on file for both “F. & G.” agenda items; this rezone meets Barnes
comprehensive land use plan; no letters of support / opposition were received on either request.
Speaking in Support / Opposition: None
G. BAYFIELD COUNTY REZONE REQUEST: Forestry-2 to Residential-2 on their 1.08-acre parcel (ID #004-1157-

File Report - Kastrosky: Town approval was received; opposition letters from Michael Colby (Sheboygan, WI) and
from Jean Balke (Algonquin, IL) were noted.
Mr. Blalock said the property was purchased by the three-partner LLC in July, with the purpose of constructing two
three-year ‘round or recreational homes on this Class 2 lake. He stated this could be split into three parcels but there
are no definite plans to at this time; they want the rezone in case they decide to in the future; he noted R-1 around the
lake, with 40 acres behind them which is F-1.
Speaking in Support: None
Opposition: Mike Beneke (East Long Lake - Iron River) said he owns the 40 acres behind, noted an error in the
description on the application; he purchased said property in June and that was not noted. Kastrosky said it takes time

explained conservation subdivisions subsequent ordinance amendments, future land county land use plans, etc.
Supervisor Miller asked if the County has a ‘say’ regarding sanitary systems in their covenant. Kastrosky said if
there are concerns they should be addressed now. Tulowitzky explained the sanitary process, reporting of tank-
pumping and tracking by the Zoning Dept., noting it is up to the Committee if they also want the Association to track it.

L.U.S. Tulowitzky noted two documents re open space and lots and asked if a motion to approve is made, is it to adopt
both or just the open space document. Atty. Carlson said the conditions pertaining to the open space lot needs to be
incorporated into the conditional use permit, noting it would be unusual to require lot restrictions except what is part of
the conservation subdivision. Kastrosky noted the Department has legal authority over the open space but not
enforcement of the Association’s other restrictions.

Repair) on .52-acre parcel (#034-1123-07) in Govt. Lot 6, Lots 1,2, 3, Block 7, Namakagon Village Subdivision,
Section 7, Township 43 North, Range 5 West, Town of Namakagon.
Richard Anderson said this business is to be in a small garage next to his house and that the Town of Namakagon
approved it with restrictions of lighting being only “down lights” and signage not to exceed 15 sq. ft. AZA Furtak asked
if firearms will be discharged on the property as he heard from concerned citizens with issues on that. Anderson
answered that there is no space there to discharge firearms and he has no intent to do so.
Motion by Rondeau to approve this special use permit subject to conditions the Town of Namakagon placed
and no discharging of firearms allowed on the premises. Motion seconded by Jardine. Discussion followed re
ability to sight bows on the property; Committee agreed that sighting of bows will be allowed. Motion carried - 4 yes / 0
no.
L. ROSEMARIE VARISCO ET AL, SPECIAL USE REQUEST – Second Residence on a parcel that cannot be
divided (#016-1088-05-001) in the NE ¼ of the NW ¼ of the NW ¼ of the NE ¼ in Section 4, Township 46 N, Range 8
W, Town of Delta.
Agent Bill Erickson represented Ms. Varisco stating she recently purchased said property which abuts her seasonal
home property. A mobile home has been removed from the location and she wants to replace it with a new structure.
Site was noncompliant as the two properties were not joined; the deed is now straightened out, this has become one
piece of property. He noted Town approval was granted.
AZA Doug Casina said site meets all habitable setbacks.
File Report: Kastrosky further explained the history of this issue, stated this is now contiguous, never to be divided
again and must be sold in entirety in the future; Town approval was received and no other correspondence.
Motion by Jardine, second by Rondeau to approve. Carried 4 yes / 0 no.
M. SUE STROM-BEARD ET AL – SPECIAL USE REQUEST – Second Residence on a parcel that cannot be
divided on a .91-acre parcel (024-1067-08-000) in part of Govt. Lot 2, Section 27, Township 47 N, Range 8 W, Town
of Iron River.
Bayfield County Planning & Zoning Committee Public Hearing / Meeting – Sept. 20, 2007
Page 6 of 7
Sue Strom-Beard stated this is part of a trust; they want to build a guest cottage on the property, a seasonal cottage
is presently on site. Kastrosky asked if plans were to have plumbing, a kitchen, and sleeping quarters in the proposed
cottage as having all three meets the definition of a residence and lacking one of the three constitutes a bunkhouse.
AZA Casina said the proposed residence will have a separate septic; it meets all setbacks.
File Report: Kastrosky noted Town approval on file and several letters of opposition from Gale and Julie Mellum;
opposition letters from Wendy J.M. Welsh (Mellum), and one from David / Trish Onan. AZA Casina said there could
be some improvement in the buffer and shoreline is not well vegetated.
After further discussion, Jardine made a motion, seconded by Rondeau, to approve. Discussion: Mrs. Strom-Beard
explained history of the property noting long-term ownership by her parents; they lack space when extended family is
ther; they are unable to build due to non-conformity.
Kastrosky noted a bunkhouse is possible if this is denied. Supervisor Miller said allowing a second residence is
setting a bad precedence on a nonconforming lot. Casina noted the Committee recently approved a second-
residence-request on a nonconforming lot, with the same issues. L.U.S. Tulowitzky asked if there is a possibility of a
size condition on the second residence, or mitigation requirements. Kastrosky replied it would be feasible if the
applicant is agreeable. Mrs. Strom-Beard replied that they have put ‘a fair amount of money’ into the proposed plans;
wants to proceed with request.
• John Joseph (President - Iron River Area Lakes Assoc.) represented Gale / Julie Mellum. He said Town
approval was done with no public forum. (Chairman Beeksma, agreed that there was no public hearing
on this.) Joseph expressed these concerns: density, substandard lot, putting one residence there would
require variance, no buffer in front of existing cottage, concern re three stories (main/walkout basement,
loft, second floor).
• John Harkness (Barnes) concerns: setting precedence; disregard for the work done by County / Towns
land use plans.
Jardine amended his motion to not allow expansion in the future on either building.
Vote: Motion died due to a tie: Beeksma and Miller voted ‘no’; Rondeau / Jardine voted ‘yes’.
N. DISCUSSION / POSSIBLE ACTION: SEA PLANE BASE (Re: ordinance classification list)
Kastrosky said he needs guidance and language to deal with this as there is no ordinance definition. He reported this
came up from one issue of complaints in Barnes on Pigeon Lake; it is on water so within DNR jurisdiction; due to low
lake levels the plane is on now on land; information has been received that more planes are coming into County lakes.
Kastrosky said AZA Furtak wrote letter to the sea plane owner on Pigeon Lake, questions came up whether this is
would require a conditional use permit as a private airports on land would, how does it differ on the lake and what is
the impact, etc. The Owner* was advised had to get a variance; it is complicated by the fact it cannot be removed from
the mud until it freezes.
Discussion followed re what a sea plane base constitutes.
• Joe Wakely (Owner / Pilot from Drummond): Referred to Federal/State definitions and noted his August
25, 2007 letter on file; stated he does not have sea plane base [per regulatory definitions] but does have a
sea plane which is like watercraft when on water must comply with same regulations. Wakely stated he is
not in agreement with the letter from Jim Brakken (Bayfield County Lakes Forum) as there are some
misunderstandings in it
• John Coffee (Pike chain Lakes resident) said he has operated a sea plane for many years; bodies of
water are already approved/authorized by the State, for sea plane operation; a sea plane base has dock
hands, etc.
After further discussion, the Committee came to the agreement an ordinance amendment is necessary and Kastrosky
is to draft the language to present in public hearing format.
• John Harkness (Barnes, Eau Claire Lakes Property Assoc.) said this was discussed at the Association re
a definition and resolution; he would not typify the Assoc. as being against sea planes Concerns for
spread of Eurasian Milfoil, noise; wants input from pilots and lake owners.
• Dave Simonson (from Flying Eagle Resort & a pilot) reported his lake has no commercial use there but
he, friends and family do operate seaplanes; this year to date there have been seven landings and ten last
Bayfield County Planning & Zoning Committee Public Hearing / Meeting – Sept. 20, 2007
Page 7 of 7
year; addressed invasive species, pumping of floats, etc. and gave reasons sea planes would not
contribute much, if any, to invasive species problems.
O. CITIZENS’ CONCERNS / INPUT:
• Steve Sandstrom: Town of Bayfield, represented his daughter and son in law re the purchase of property,
on Ski Hill Road / Barningham-Ashwabay property, whose plans include a ‘Day Spa’ with hot tubs,
whirlpools, sauna, massage therapy, small retail store, generally catering to tourist trade, will live on
property but have no other lodging; property is zoned R-RB, there will possibly a couple part-time
employees.
Kastrosky explained zoning is adequate for this type of business but there is a need for advice is needed regarding
classification. It was noted there is a listing for a commercial sauna/steam bath, however, that is not an accurate
description of what this request is.
After further discussion, Director Kastrosky recommended a conditional use permit in R-RB zoning for this facility
using the description of “Wellness / Health Center”, which is in the ordinance classification list. Sandstrom agreed to
apply for a conditional use permit.
P. DISCUSSION / POSSIBLE ACTION – NR115 RE-WRITE UPDATE:
• Kastrosky said there is nothing new to report.
Q. OTHER ITEMS THAT MAY COME BEFORE THE COMMITTEE (Discussion Only):
• Kastrosky reported a situation on Lake Namakagon where the party wished to expand a nonconforming
building and was denied. The contractor removed the roof, all the walls fell in, and they built a new
structure on the site, 25’ from the lake. They filed a lawsuit to remove the structure. Corp. Counsel Bill
Bussey wrote a letter notifying them of the violation, however, they are looking into the possibility of
moving the building. Based Kastrosky’s thoughts now considering all of the ramifications, including
impossibility of moving it, he is advising they leave the building, fine them about $15,000, require removal
of the nonconforming garage, no further expansion, require a stormwater plan / mitigation. Kastrosky said
he presented this because there is no use to devastate the lot and harm the environment; it would cost
more to move the building. He added “now we can bargain but the downside is, if the Owner agrees, in the
Public [eye] it will look like we took his money and he got what he wanted”.
• Supervisor Miller expressed his opinion to go along with this plan.
11. MONTHLY REPORT: Motion by Jardine, seconded by Rondeau to approve the August report; carried 4 yes / 0
no.
12. ADJOURNMENT: Motion by Rondeau, seconded by Jardine to adjourn at 7:45 PM. Carried.
