Agenda Alteration

either use existing or construct a new garage in commercial zone [a 0.244-
acre parcel (Tax ID #8141), described as Village of Cornucopia Lot 10-12 Block 5
in V.1038 P.926, Section 34, Township 51 North, Range 6 West, Town of Bell,
Bayfield County, WI]
Mike Furtak explained he was representing the Young’s, and they received a
letter from zoning stating their non-conforming use has lapsed. The house has
been there for over 70 years but in 2002 is was turned into a real estate office.
When the Youngs purchased it as a vacation home they didn’t know they needed
a special use to use it as a residence again. They added a deck without permits
and that is how it was discovered. There is also a garage that is partially on the
neighbor’s property. They might tear this garage down and build a new one which
would meet setbacks, or they will continue to tear off part of the garage until it
meets setbacks. Silbert asked if this was a stand-alone garage or will they be
using this as a second residence. Furtak stated there will be one residence, one
garage, and one shed on the property.
