A. Edward Scheider (Keystone) – rezone from R-1 to F-1 (shoreland) [a 6-acre
parcel (Tax ID #21910), described as a parcel of land in NE ¼ of the NE ¼
Section 28, Township 47 North, Range 6 West, Town of Keystone, Bayfield
County, WI]
Schierman stated it came to his attention that there is an auto repair business
being conducted. Cease and desist letter was written. One way to resolve the
issue is to rezone the property then once rezoned they can apply for an after the
fact auto repair.
Vicky Koval spoke in opposition, stating she owns adjacent property, the main
concern is that it looks like a dump. Also concerned about fluids reaching her well
and Fish Creek if not disposed of properly. The property is a dump and doesn’t
look good for the Township or the County. They test their vehicles on Kinney road
and the noise of that and fireworks and gun shots are not a concern or bother.
Discussion ended.

Schierman stated there is no Town Board approval. The concerns that are
present are valid. If we rezone it will make the structures even more
nonconforming. There is a large amount of equipment on the property. Silbert
asked if we have authority to make them clean the property. Schierman
answered if they apply for the special use, we have the ability to apply conditions
and involve the DNR. Silbert asked about a cease and desist. Schieman stated
one was written but since there was a clear path to resolving the issue with a
rezone the use was allowed to continue. If denied they will have to cease the use.

discussion. Motion carried.
