Plan Commission approves two certified survey maps and flags a nonconforming lakeside strip
Loading...
Summary
The commission recommended two CSMs to the Town Board, approving a West Amber Lake Road right-of-way correction and an eight-lot map that leaves a pre-existing, nonconforming strip of land with Tomahawk Lake access; one CSM carried 3-2-1 with an abstention.
The Minocqua Plan Commission on March 31 recommended approval of two preliminary certified survey maps (CSM #09-26 and CSM #10-26) to the Town Board and discussed a narrow pre-existing strip of land that provides access to Tomahawk Lake.
CSM #09-26, submitted by Maines & Associates for lands owned by the Shawn & Jennifer Hartshorn Living Trust, would correct a mismatch where the platted roadway did not align with the constructed roadway on West Amber Lake Road. Planner Scott Ridderbusch said the commission is dedicating the relevant part of the roadway for maintenance and future setbacks; the commission recommended approval 6-0.
CSM #10-26, submitted by Riverside Land Surveying for 8990 Thoroughfare Road, creates eight lots and includes easements for lots affected by terrain. Ridderbusch noted a narrow strip of land across the road that provides access to Tomahawk Lake is a pre-existing non-conforming parcel that cannot be developed; Chairman Mark Hartzheim said he expected that the strip's likely use would be keyhole lake access and expressed concern about potential parking and access impacts. Member votes were split: the motion to recommend CSM #10-26 carried 3-2-1 (Mary Taylor, Michael Tautges, and Mark Pertile aye; Billy Fried and Joe Hegge nay; Mark Hartzheim abstained).
Next steps: both CSM recommendations will go to the Town Board for formal action; the commission flagged the Tomahawk Lake strip as a future monitoring issue for access and parking.
