Residents seek clarity on DNR lease-lot transaction; officials point to federal appraisal delays
Summary
A resident asked commissioners for guidance after hearing rumors that DNR lease lots might be sold; county staff said the feds requested a more detailed appraisal, delaying action, and a meeting with leaseholders is planned for spring or early summer.
A resident who serves on the lakeshore board raised questions about a rumored Department of Natural Resources (DNR) transaction affecting lease lots and whether owners should invest in properties. "It's all rumor stuff that I hear... and nobody really knows what the hell is going on," the resident said, asking for direction.
County staff and commissioners said the process has been delayed because federal reviewers asked for a different, more detailed appraisal (a "yellow book" appraisal) and that the DNR plans a meeting with leaseholders this spring or early summer to explain options. Officials said alternatives include negotiating individual sales or, if necessary, public auction, but no final outcome was available at the meeting.
