the East of that is the business park. Silbert asked how far to the West is that old

#13975) described as the NW ¼ of the SW ¼, in V. 1008 P. 284, Section 23,
Township 44 North, Range 7 West, Town of Drummond, Bayfield County, WI]
Schierman stated there is town board approval on file and they have stated it is
compatible with their future land use map. Bussey asked if there were any letters
of support or opposition and the reply was no.
Bussey motioned to recommend approval to County Board based on
Town Board Approval, that it is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and

B. Sandra Johnson Owen (Bell) - residence in a commercial zone; to allow
Page 4 of 6 ZC Planning and Zoning Public Hearing and Meeting – May 19, 2016
multiple principal structures in a commercial zone; and to allow a 1-unit
short-term rental in a commercial zone [a 0.57–acre parcel (Tax ID# 8183)
described as Lots 4-10, Block 12, Village of Cornucopia in V. 1146 P. 334, in
Section 34, Township 51 North, Range 6 West, Town of Bell, Bayfield County,
WI]
Schierman stated there is town board approval and it is consistent with land use
map. No letters of support or opposition. Croonborg-Murphy stated in 2013 she
approved an 8’ x 20’ addition to the accessory structure to be used as a
bathroom, after doing research on the property the use was not to be used for
habitation so the condition on the permit was just that. After receiving a call this
spring from the owner she said she was using the building as a long term rental.
It is also the second residence on a parcel that cannot be subdivided, so those
two issues are after the fact. The short-term rental is a proposed use. There are
pictures in the file for the committees review. Not sure the use of the small wood
structure but it is the size of a bunkhouse but it looked like there is heating but not
sure if used as habitation.
Bussey motioned to approve based on Town Board Approval, that it
meets the Comprehensive Plan, community or general welfare. This is after the
fact but it does have town board approval and the town of Cornucopia relies on
tourism, this seems consistent with that. This is compatible with comp plan.
Silbert seconded. Pocernich asked if there is a long term rental there now.
Croonborg-Murphy answered yes, but they have moved out and she would like
to use it as a short-term rental now. 30 days or less is considered short-term
rental. Pocernich again stated this goes back to the after the fact, they knew
they were renting this and now they are applying for a permit. The town’s
approval weighs heavily on our decision, but it is still after the fact, it is not right,
but if the town is willing to do it he is ok with it. Bussey asked Croonborg-
Murphy if she has any sense on if the owner was doing this deliberately.
Croonborg-Murphy stated she does not have much of a sense that is not
factually based. She did receive a placard with the conditions. Silbert asked what
the after the fact fees consist of, Croonborg-Murphy stated they are double. No
further discussion. Motion carried. 4/1 (Approved – Rondeau, Silbert, Bussey,
and Strand. Opposed – Pocernich)
C. Scott and Ann Kranz, owner and Craig Haukaas, agent (Barksdale) – rezone
Ag-1 to C [a 6.11-acre parcel (part of Tax ID #144) described as that parcel of
land located in the SE ¼ of the SE 1/4, in V. 1152 P. 27, Section 13, Township 48
North, Range 5 West, Town of Barksdale, Bayfield County, WI]
Schierman stated there is town board approval and they amended the comp
plan and now it is consistent. There are no letters of support or opposition.
Pocernich motioned to recommend approval to County Board that it
meets the Comprehensive Plan and future land use map, the goals and
objectives of the plan, it was approved by the town board, and consistent with the
county comp plan and land use, relative public input. Bussey seconded. Silbert
asked about the one residence in the area and they do not mind? Pocernich
stated the applicants are the adjacent property owners and there is one other
neighbor that was in support. No further discussion. Motion carried.
