Zoning committee approves multiple conditional-use permits and a rezone; lists of decisions and conditions
Summary
The zoning committee approved several conditional-use permits for accessory structures and one rezone correction; staff reports outlined required land‑use permits, timeframes and conditions, and the committee approved motions with findings of fact.
The Sawyer County Zoning Committee approved a series of routine land‑use requests and one corrective rezone during its July meeting. Staff walked through each application and recommended conditions; the committee approved items with findings that actions would promote public health and safety, encourage orderly land development and protect property values.
Key approvals and conditions included:
- Rezone 26-013 (O'Brien Hill Properties LLC): Approved to change ~5.08 acres from Agricultural 1 to Residential Recreational 1 to resolve a garage encroachment and allow potential lot adjustments; the town of Hayward recommended approval and no opposition letters were received.
- CUP 26-018 (Town of Radisson / Christopher Schruen): Approved for an accessory structure/carport on vacant land provided the applicant obtains a land-use permit within 30 days and the principal dwelling permit within three years; failure to comply would result in citations and removal orders.
- CUP 26-019 (Town of Bass Lake / Michael Mazzutis): Approved for a 30x40 accessory structure across a town road with standard conditions (no habitable area, size/height limits, required land-use permit) and town approval noted.
- CUP 26-020 (Town Weerigore / John Jortson): Approved with conditions including a three‑year requirement to apply for and build the principal structure and to avoid habitable use of the accessory structure until a dwelling is constructed.
- CUP 26-022 and 26-023 (Preserve at MBF LLC): Approved for storage/grooming equipment building and a warming hut/pavilion in private-park outlots, with conditions limiting habitable areas and commercial uses and noting town planning-commission approvals and parking limitations where applicable.
Staff will summarize the approvals in the meeting record and follow up where the conditions require additional permits, deed restrictions, or inspections. The committee emphasized that accessory structures on vacant land must follow the county code (Appendix D) and that timelines for building principal dwellings (three years to apply; 18 months to shell and enclose after permit issuance) are standard in these approvals.
