The Sawyer County Zoning Committee unanimously approved two small rezones in the Town of Hayward that swap roughly 1,299 square feet and 1,572 square feet between two adjacent lots so an applicant can build a compliant garage.

The applicants — identified in the hearing record as Longtime Trust and Anderson Enterprises LLC — are exchanging small triangular portions of their lots to correct lot lines and allow the garage to fit without encroaching on setbacks. County staff described the proposal as consistent with the Town of Hayward comprehensive plan’s low-density residential designation and recommended findings of fact 1 through 13 as listed in the staff report. The applicants stated the properties share a driveway and plan to record easement language on the final survey.
