I did this while I lived in Superior WI, again it was online, was just trying to help others and it did not work. So it never lead to any onsite work, of which would have been in Superior WI at the time. Let alone it was worldwide, the odds anyone on a random call was local was very remote. The technology failed and the calls did not work and this was an old description of that from when I tried to use the platform... make sense? Getting too old to even work on my own things let alone help others at this point. Will update that page.

Would need address if mailing and anything else so it gets linked to the application. 2, yes, if that is what is needed. Again, reading is difficult for me, why came and asked how to do this all at community center. 3, I did not keep a copy of the drawing for myself, if it had asked distance from a road, I would have used distance to Edith Lane which was the closest road, I did not consider my private drive a road. 4, it will be for personal use, that property is only in my business name because it is too difficult to revert it back to my personal name after retiring so I am just going to keep up with yearly reports to keep business listed in official records. It was easy to change from personal to business, not the same going back. Something about a year's worth or records, it got overly complicated real fast for me. 5, I had plans on moving the cabin I am living in back to that property, then bought the property the cabin was on, covid hit around same time and no one knew what was going to happen with life.

The subject property is comprised of approximately 1.5 acres and zoned Residential -Recreational Business (R-RB). Adjacent properties are zoned R-RB. The subject property is located within 1000 feet of Hostrawser Lake, which means that the Shoreland regulations apply. There are mapped wetlands or floodplain on the subject property. There is an existing shed on the subject property with an existing driveway that connects to a Edith Lane, a town road. There is existing vegetation on the edges of the subject property or a shed that will provide a natural screen for the shipping container from adjacent neighbors and the public right-of-way. Bayfield County Zoning Ordinance Section 13-1-36 and 13-1-62(a), requires a CUP to place a shipping container on an R-1 zoned lot. The owner is requesting to place a 8' x 40'shipping container for personal storage. No correspondence, including the town recommendation, has been received to date. If the Committee approves the CUP, the department recommends the following conditions be added: 1) An opaque vegetative screen is maintained to completely screen the shipping container from the public right-of-way and adjacent properties. If shed is removed vegetation will need to be installed to screen the shipping container. 2) The shipping container is painted and maintained an earth tone color to blend into natural wooded surroundings.
