Board approves two rezonings to allow commercial use and a lot swap in Hunter and Bass Lake areas
Summary
The Sawyer County Board approved two zoning amendments: reszone 26-002 to reclassify 3.5 acres to commercial one for storage buildings in the town of Hunter, and reszone 26-009, a .44-acre agricultural-to-residential rezone to allow a land swap between Hazel Magnuson and the Tweeds. Both had prior town and zoning committee approval.
The Sawyer County Board unanimously approved two zoning amendments at its June meeting, paving the way for a commercial expansion near Highway S and a boundary-aligned lot swap.
Zoning staff described reszone 26-002 (Thomas and Jean Carr) in the town of Hunter as a request to reclassify 3.5 acres from Residential Recreational One to Commercial One to permit additional storage buildings. Staff noted adjacent commercial zoning and that seven neighbors were notified; one written objection was entered into the record. The Town of Hunter and the Sawyer County Zoning Committee had both recommended approval; the board moved and approved the district amendment map for reszone 26-002.
Reszone 26-009 involves a .44-acre portion of Hazel Magnuson’s agricultural parcel that will be rezoned to Residential Recreational One as part of a land swap with Benjamin and Jacqueline Tweed. Ten adjacent property owners received notices and no written objections were recorded; the town of Bass Lake and the zoning committee recommended approval. The board approved the rezoning.
Both rezonings were handled as standard zoning approvals with staff reports, findings of fact included in the committee materials, and no recorded negative votes on the board floor.
