Members of the Sawyer County Public Works Committee approved a motion to send a driveway application for a parcel on County Road B to the zoning committee for review and return to Public Works next month.

Highway Department representative Vero said the driveway sits on a high-traffic segment between Strass Lane and Triple Trail and noted county policy ordinarily allows one driveway per parcel unless there is justification for a second. Commissioners discussed traffic safety and the existing driveway configuration. "They were just purchased property not too long ago and are wondering," Vero said of the applicants.

The committee voted to approve the request "to send to zoning" so the zoning committee can review whether a second driveway is allowable under local ordinances. The chair confirmed the motion's wording as approval conditioned on zoning review and the matter will return to next month’s agenda for a final decision.

No physical work or permit was issued at the meeting; the committee’s action was explicitly conditional on the zoning committee’s review and any zoning determinations.
