Board allows Lake Beulah applicants to reapply after reconsideration request
Summary
The Walworth County Board of Adjustment agreed Aug. 13 to let applicants from Lake Beulah reapply for a previously denied variance, after staff explained three procedural options for reconsideration; the board voted unanimously to allow reapplication with a new filing.
The Walworth County Board of Adjustment on Aug. 13 voted to allow applicants identified in staff materials as the "Lake Beulah Dynamic Duo" to reapply for a variance they previously sought.
Staff (voice 3) told the board the request for reconsideration, filed May 27, was timely and outlined three options: schedule the item for board reconsideration without new testimony, require the applicants to reapply with a new fee and any new information, or deny the reconsideration request. "So the board today is deciding 1 of 3 things," staff said, summarizing the procedures and noting circumstances that might warrant a reapplication.
After brief board discussion about whether new information or a misunderstanding of prior testimony might justify reconsideration, a member moved to request that the applicants reapply; another member seconded. The motion passed on a unanimous voice vote.
The decision allows the applicants to bring new evidence to a future public hearing rather than have the board reverse the prior decision immediately. Staff said the reapplication would follow normal filing procedures and fees.
