dwellings requires review and approval by the local Uniform Dwelling Code (UDC) authority. Additions and alterations to one -
and two-family dwellings may require review and approval by the UDC authority. All municipalities are required to enforce the
UDC.

We have recently purchased the property at 67990 West Deep Lake Road, Iron River, WI
from our family on 7/21/26. We have been currently living at this property with my parents.
Our plan is to remodel the current home from a 3 season cabin to a year round primary
residence for ourselves. We are doing a small addition in order to make a utility room and
entryway/porch along with a detached 2 car garage. We plan to remodel and replace
siding, windows, roof, insulation, electrical, HVAC, indoor plumbing, and interior surfaces.
We will be working with contractor Scott Nielcen.
Sincerely,

Hi Adam,
Thanks for the update. I received the change of use application.
I know its last minute, but I can probably make a site visit tomorrow (Wednesday August 5) around 12:30
pm. Would that work foryou and Erin?
I can also visit the following Wednesday afternoon (Augustl2), if that works better for you ... sometime
between 12:30 pm and 2:30 pm works best for me. I may also have some additional time next week, so if
there's a different day that works better for you, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Hello Emily,
The calculation of the driveway for the impervious surface is 1,449 square feet. This changes our
percentage of impervious surface area to 8.86%.
After consideration of our options that you provided us I think we will have to go with option #3, which is
to submit a Land Use Permit to change one of the listed bunkhouses to a shed, which is what we have
been using it for already. I can work on that permit this weekend and submit electronically. Do you
know when you would be back out to look at that and if so would we be able to schedule it as my wife
goes back to work next week, but she can come back home when needed.
Anything else that we need to do?
Thanks again!

Subject: Re: Land Use Permit Application
Hello Emily,
Thank you for the speed in coming out to do the site visit and providing explanation.
For option #1 would that $110,300 include just the cost of the garage and main cabin addition
construction? Or would that be all improvements? For instance we had planned on remodeling the
inside with newflooring, kitchen, new windows etc. It would be for all improvements. So new flooring,
windows, kitchen etc. would all be included.
Option #2 sounds like it would be difficult to obtain. We do have two different parcels, but I am
assuming it is just the parcel that the current cabin is located on, correct(Lot 6)1 agree that it looks
challengingwith the property you have but I wanted you to be aware of all options. It would need to be
on the same parcel.
For option #3 we currently only use one of the structures as a bunkhouse and the other is storage
presently. So because this is listed as a bunkhouse through the county we would need to submit a
land use application for change of use basically stating we aren't using that one as a
bunkhouse? With this option there would be no cap on the amount of money we would be able to use
for renovations/additions? The Land Use Permit application you submitted list two bunkhouses. I also
found a survey from 2000 linked to our County GIS map that shows the two structures you listed as
bunkhouses as cabins. It also lists the building you listed as a shop as a cabin. When reviewing your
application, I assumed it was more up to date than the survey, but is still shows two bunkhouses. If
you submit a Land Use Permit application to change the use of a bunkhouse to storage, the property
would be conforming when the permit was approved.
For that process, I would need to do a walkthrough of the bunkhouse that is being converted to
storage to ensure it's not habitable. I would also need to do a walkthrough of the other bunkhouse to
make sure it meets our criteria. Assuming everything looked good, I could approve the change of use
for the structure, and then I could go forward with approving the Land Use permit applications for the
addition and garage since the use would be conforming.
Thanks!

Subject: Land Use Permit Application
Hi Adam and Erin,
I am following up on my site visit yesterday about a few things.
First, please let me know the square footage of the driveway and parking area so I can add that to the
impervious surface form.
Second, because you have 3 habitable buildings on your property, your property is considered a
"non -conforming use." Essentially, the cabins are all grandfathered in because they were built before
the town adopted zoning, but they would not be allowed under our current ordinances a
Conditional Use Permit for a Multi Unit Development. Non -conforming uses are legal, but there are
limits to expansion of the use (which includes repairs, additions, expansions, etc).
You have a few options:
(c) Non-Shoreland Nonconforming Uses. (A)7131/2012)
(1) Burden of Proof. A property owner claiming a nonconforming use and
exemption from application regulations shall prove by a preponderance of
the evidence that:
a. The use was legally established.
b. The use predated zoning provisions with which it does not comply.
c. The use was active and actual prior to adoption of such provisions
and not merely casual and occasional or incidental to the principal
use of the property in which case no vested right to continue use
shall have been acquired.
(2) Prohibited Expansion. The alteration of, or addition to, or repair in excess
of fifty percent (50%) of the assessed value of any non-shoreland existing
building, premises, structure or fixture for the purpose of carrying on a
nonconforming use is prohibited. (see Sec. 59.69 (10) (am) Wis. Stats.)
(u1'i111976): (E,®)7)31t2012)

If you go this route, you will need to submit documentation showing the cost of the addition to the
house and the garage. This will get recorded on an affidavit and it will show the cost of the current
work and the amount remaining.
On our public tax records, it shows the assessed value of $220,600, so $110,300 is the limit of all
total future expansions:

You should keep records of the amount of all repairs to the property, even ones that don't require a
Land Use Permit, because if you apply for Land Use Permits in the future, our department will ask for
documentation showing that you have not made repairs/additions/etc in excess of 50% of the
assessed value.

Here's some info I've shared with other property owners about MUDs:
One of the tricky things about MUDs is the 30, 000 square foot requirement is for open space.
This means for each of the proposed units, there must be 30,000 square feet of open space.
This open space cannot include buildings (dwellings, garages, etc.) or driveways or parking
areas, or sanitary (septic) systems, etc.
Asa quick and approximate way to determine how much space is needed fora MUD, our
department usually doubles the value of 30,000, which comes to 60,000 square feet. This
number can safely accommodate 30,000 square feet of open space and any development
associated with the unit.
If you get a CUP for a Multi Unit Development, the use would be conforming.
O
During my site visit
forthe application, I would need to see inside the bunkhouse being changed to a storage shed
to make sure there are no longer signs of habitable space (no beds, kitchen areas etc.). I
would also need to do a walkthrough of the existing bunkhouse to make sure it meets our
current bunkhouse requirements:
(4x) Bunkhouse/Guest Quarters. A residential accessory structure or part of a
residential accessory structure with or without plumbing which is used as
temporary sleeping quarters only; no cooking or food preparation facilities;
and no greater than 500 sq. ft. of enclosed dwelling space. (®)12/1612009):
(A)10/26(2010)
If everything looked good during my site visit, then I would approve the Change of Use application.
Like option #2, this would mean the property is now a conforming use.
In summary, please let me know the square footage of the driveway and which of the other options
you want to move forward with. Then I can share more details on what the next steps are.
If you have questions about the options, just let me know! Feel free to follow-up by email or phone.
I'm happy to provide more information.
