Board lets owners sell 2 acres by tourist home, leaves prior conditions in place
Summary
Brown County approved a site-plan amendment to allow owners to sell a two-acre portion of a 49-acre parcel that holds a tourist home, saying it would not change operations; prior special-exception conditions remain in effect.
The Brown County Board of Zoning Appeals approved an amendment July 29 to a long-standing tourist-home special exception that will allow Irvin and Wanda Stetson to sell a roughly 2-acre portion of their 49-acre parcel without changing the operation of the tourist home.
Kayla summarized the 2007 special-exception approval that covered the primary 49-acre parcel and an adjacent 5-acre tract, and said the petitioners asked to transfer a small, two-acre southwest corner of the larger parcel to a neighbor. Staff recommended approval, noting the amendment would not alter guest numbers or facility operations and that the original conditions for the tourist home should remain in effect.
Board members asked clarifying questions about prior approvals and confirmed that transferring 2 acres to the adjacent owner would not change the tourist-home use that remains on the retained parcel. The motion approving the site-plan amendment stipulated the preexisting tourist-home conditions continue to apply.
