Town of Mountain places emergency stop on South Shore Drive lake-access work pending DNR review
Summary
At a July 13 special meeting, the Town of Mountain board voted to place an emergency stop order on work at the South Shore Drive lake-access site until a Wisconsin DNR wetland specialist can complete an on-site review; the DNR visit is expected the week of July 21.
The Town of Mountain board on July 13 voted to place an emergency stop order on work at the South Shore Drive lake-access site until a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources wetland specialist reviews a prior determination.
Chair Carey-Mielke said a property owner had contacted the DNR and that DNR wetland specialist Erin Carviou is expected to conduct an on-site inspection sometime the week of July 21. "Motion that the town place an emergency stop order on the work at the lake access site until the DNR Wetland Specialist has reviewed her previous determination," Carey-Mielke moved; Supervisor Wydeven seconded and the motion carried, according to the minutes. The transcript does not include a vote tally.
The board convened at 10:00 a.m. at the Town Office. Earlier in the brief meeting Supervisor Wydeven moved to approve the agenda as posted (the agenda had been posted July 11); Supervisor O'Barski seconded and that motion also carried. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited. With no other orders of business, Chair Carey-Mielke adjourned the meeting at 10:12 a.m.
The emergency stop order suspends work at the lake-access site only until the DNR specialist reviews the previous wetland determination. The minutes do not specify any penalties, time limits beyond the pending DNR review, or which town staff will enforce the order. The record also does not state a vote count or list any conditions attached to the order.
The town clerk recorded four named officials present: Chair Carey-Mielke, Supervisors O'Barski and Wydeven, and Clerk/Treasurer Lynn Kauzlaric; the minutes note five people in attendance overall. The minutes do not identify the property owner by name.
Next steps recorded in the minutes: the board placed the stop order and awaits the DNR wetland specialist's on-site review; no additional follow-up meeting or staff assignment was specified in the minutes.
