Dear Mrs. Willis,
On September 21, 2004, the Sawyer County F3oard of Appeals approved as amended your ap-
plication for variance on the following describr,d real estate to wit:
Lot 12 (the mainland lot) and Lot 13 (the island lot) being Part of Govt Lot 1, S 17, T
37N, R 9W, Parcel :1.3. Vol 289 Record;; Page 53Q Vol 711 Records Page 455; CSM
Vol 25 Page 3&4. Island lot=1.27 acres, mainland lot=8.23 acres. Property is zoned Resi-
dential/Recreational One. Application is fur the construction of a 30'x50' (34'x54' with
eaves) garage on a mainland island access lot; the construction on the island of a drive-
way connecting to a 10'6"x53' bridge sp.inning a wetland, all within the 35' shoreline
vegetation protection area and at a setback distance of 3' from the ordinary high water
mark of Lake Chetac and 8' from a wctland area adjacent to the lake. Variance is re-
quested as Section 4.26, Sawyer County Zoning Ordinance, would prohibit the construc-
tion of an accessory building on vacant property; Section 4.410 would prohibit such land
disturbing activities within the 35' shoreline vegetation protection area; Section 4.49
would require minimum setback distances of 75' from the ardinary high water mark of
the ]ake and the wetland area adjacent to the lake. The Town Board has approved the ap-
plication.
The Sawyer County Board of Appeals apprcved the application as follows: Delete accessory
building request as a dwelling will be constnicted. Approve a 10'6"x53' bridge, with disturbance
of the buffer zone. Expiration date of 2 years.
Findings of Fact of the Board of Appeals: It ia a unique property. There would be no change in
the use in the zone district. It would not be daniaging to the rights of others or property values.

unnecessarily burdensome:
B. The hardship is�due to physical limitations of the property rather than the
circumstances of the applicant because:
C. The variance �vill not be contrary to the public interest and wili#�observe
the purpose of the ordinance and do justice because:

Summary Agenda
Zoning Committee
PH: 20 August 2004
3) Ralph Petit, access issues — WAC gives back�n-ound. Access to building site was from a boat landing.
CSM shows easement into lots, easement is not existing. Does not have legal easement to the prop-
erty. Petit passes out photos and maps. Town of Winter Chairman had no problem with his using the
boat landing. Across the river is a resort and 30 unit campground. Assumed he could use the boat
landing. Discussion of 4 lots and boat landing use. JB feels Petit is well into the project, would like
to see him continue. Request zoning to come up with a plan to address this kind of issue.
BV motions to allow Petit to continue but only for one lot. This will not set a precedent.
KM seconds motion.
Motion carries.
4) Bob Biller, island access issues — WAC gives background: ZC issued special use permit in 2003. Had
a walk-in easement that went with the island. Issue is can Biller use a 33' wide lot as access to the is-
land. Biller passes out photos, walk-in easement not suitable to use, wetlands and stumps and bogs.
Found the 33' access for sale, purchased and has started using as access. Zoning received a complaint.
Asking ZC if he can switch accesses. BV on site, old access is impossible to get down, doesn't see a
problem with him using new access for the island. Biller: Building a $400,000 home on the island. JB
feels he has legal access with the 8' walking easement. Doesn't care how Biller gets to the island as
long as he has a legal access. ZC feels that no action is needed. Biller to use the 33' access, but legal
access is the 8' walking trail.
BV motions to have WAC write letter regarding the legal access.
EG seconds motion.
Motion carries.
5) Pete Sanders, Town of Bass Lake Chair, camping issues — Bass Lake selected option #1 for camping,
most restrictive. Now has changed to Option #3 with changes in language. Town will submit copy of
minutes to reflect the option change.
6) Willis/Miller, extension of CUP — Will have variance hearing next month, wants extension of CUP,
afraid permit will expire. DNR permits still to be obtained.
BM motions to extend 1 year beyond CUP's original issue date.
BV seconds motion.
Motion carried.
7) Certified Survey Map of easement for Big Fish Golf— WAC explains driveway access off Hwy. B is
40' wide. Town Board and ZC ariginally approved the plat for 66' wide roads. Town does not have a
problem with the easement. Hwy. does not have any issues either.
KM suggests Town of Hayward get zoning a letter stating the Town has no problem.
JB seconds motion.
Unanimous vote.
8) RV Parks & Campgrounds, non-conforming structures — Problems with additions attached to RV's,
decks, small accessory buildings. State sent a list of all state licensed campgrounds and RV parks.
Question is do we want language placed in the ordinance addressing the issues. WAC passes out his
proposal. Dan Daggett wanted to place portable deck onto his motorhome and was told it was not al-
lowable. This issue on next month's public hearing.
9) Purchase of Carmody septic maintenance program — Computer Dept. Director, Mike Coleson talks
about the proposal. Zoning to include Carmody in department budget for 2005.
10) Rental homes/time sharing — Continue to bring to ZC each month.
11) Mike & Susan Duffy, LUP in airport area issue — County to purchase property.
12) Impervious surface/driveways for Sept. agenda. Discuss requiring permit for driveway paving.
13) BOA proposed rules & by-laws postponed to Sept. agenda.
14) Fees — BOA review of appeals of ZC decisions.
BM motions to set those appeal fees at $500 and fee for ZC special hearings at $1000.

Part 2: Three-Step Test.
To qualify for your requested variance, you must demonstrate that your property meets
the following three requirements. T/�is is known as the "three-step test."
1) LJnique 'Prooertv Limitations.
Unique physical limitations of the property such as steep slopes or wetlands
that aze not generally shared by other properties must prevent compliance with
ordinance requirements. The circumstances of a�i applicant(growing fsmily,
need for a largar garage etc.) are not a factor in deciding vaziances. Nearby
ordi,nance violations,prior variances or lach of objections from neighbors or
the Town Boazd do not provide a basis for granting a vaziancc.
Do unique physical chazacteristics of yolu property prevent compliance with
the ordinance?
Yes. Where are they located on your property"? Please show the
boundaries of these features on tlle site map that you used to describe
alternatives considered.
(e.g., "There is a wetland azea that extends around one side of the house
and also behind the house.").
❑ No. A variance cannot be granted.
AUG-10-2004 a8�43 P.04i08
2) No Harm to Public Interests.
A variance may not be granted which results in harm to public inferests. In
applying this test, the Boazd of Appcals must consider impacts of your
proposal and the cumulative impacts of similar pto.jects on the interesYs of the
neighbors and che entire community. Some,but not necessarily all of tl�ese
considerations are: (l) Public health, safety and welfare, (2) water quality, (3)
fish and wildlife habitat, (4) natt�ral scenic beauty, (5) miniraization of
property damages and(6) achicvement of eventual compliance for
nonconforming uses, structures and lots.
Explain how the granting of this variance would not hann tl�e public inYerests
or how it may even enhance the public interests.
�S� ���� 5�p/��r`�J�
3) Unnecessary Hazdshiv.
An applicant may not claim hazdship because of conditions which are self-
imposed or created by a prior owner (for example, excavating a pond on a
vacant lot and then arguing that there is no suitable location for a home.).
Courts have also detertnined that economic or fin�ncial hazdship does not
justify a variance. When determining whetlier unnecessary hardship exists,
the property as a whole is considered rather than just a portion of the parcel.
You aze applying for an"azea vari[tnce.' An uea variance relaxes a
dimensional standazd such as a sctback, frontage, lot area, or height. For an
arca vaziance, unnecessary hardship exisis when compliance would
unreasonablv nrevent the owner from usin t@ he propertv for a oermitted
pumose or would render confoimity with such resvictions unnecessazilv
burdensomc. The importance of the public purposes of the ordinance, the
degree to which the restriction supports those purposes an�l the extent of thc
relaxation of the restriction a�,e weighs against Ilie limitations full compliance
would impose on use of the property.
Is uriuecess dship present? . ; '

Part 1: Appticant Supplied Information
Current usa of your property & improvements —
T have owned this property for close approximately 30 years. Over the years my now late
husband and I have developed some pazcels and sold them of'f'. At one time, we ouvned
most of the private drive Ihat we now ]ive on and this property is at the end oE This
pruperry is currently vacant land comprised uf approximaYely 9.5 acres, of which 1.27
acres is on an adjaccnt island. The property is zoned RR-1 and a conditiaial use pennit
has been granted by the Sawyer County 'Loning Boazd tu allow for construction of a
single f'amily residence on the island. T7ie isla�id's souSh-westzrly tip is extremzly close
to the m2inland purtion of Clie property (from 20 to 50 feet, depending on location and
angle oY crossing).
Tlie mainland portion of the property Croncs onto a bog. Ic is lakeshore, but it does noi
provide direct access to the lake due to thc shallowness of the water and the vegetativc
growth. However, the island building site does provide direct access to the lake. Aack in
late July of 2003 I entcred into a contract m sel] die property tn William Miller& his wife
Carol, my agent in diis matter. We have been wurking since then to gain approval from
the Co�mty and DNR to build and gain access this building site. We had Bill Chrishnan
and Dave Kafura out to the propeily in the second week of August of 2003 to get their
advice u,d counsel on how to proceed. On this visit we learned that we had to cross die
navigable waterway (thc bog), to get to the island, a�id go thruugh a wetland on the
island.
Bill recommcnded requcsting rezoning of the property and a conditional use permit, and
to go through die DNR for pennits to cross the lakebed and wetland (Dave Kafura
abreed). He also suggested we meet with thc Zuning Boazd to get their advice. 5��, we
thcn met with the Z.oning boazd at their August meeting to ask i'or advice on how to
proceed- They concurred with BilPs suggesiie�n. So, we applizd for a��d were granted the
rezoning and the conditional use permit. Since the DNR was going to be approving or
denying permits for the crossing of lakebed and wetland, the cowity did not have to do
anyching in that regard.
!n the first week of September 2003, we subn�itted twu applications with the DNR. One
for a culvert to cross the lakebed, with a clear span bridge as an alternative and the
second to fill the wetland for a driveway. To make a long story short,the DNR has now
approved a clear span bridge to allow us direct access to the island(S' wide bridge).
During the summer tlie bridge will be used to provide access to the island by small
vebicles like ATV's, Golf Carts, ete. Durin� the winter, we will be driving across lake
bed next the hridge with f'ull sized vehicles onco the island, out to the house.(T7ius the
need for a garage on the mainland). As for the island wetland, they have said we cannot

fill it, but cu� bridge it. If we bridge it, it is not in theirjurisdiction, which then requires
the county to look at it in regazd to compliance with its ordinances.
The island pazcel is narrow where the wetland on the island is located. Thcrefore, the
bridge and driveway will be within the 35' shoreline vegetation protection area. This
then means that in order fo gain access to the building site we need several variances f'or
the driveway and bridge over the wetland.
llescribe the variances requested:
For access to the building site—The conscruction on lhe island of a driveway
connecti�ig a 10'6" by 53' bridge (to go over a 45' ]ong wetland), all widiin the 35'
shoreline vegetation protection azea. Section 4.410 and Sections 4.49, 35' setback and
75' setback requirements.
On the mainland—to construct a 30' x 50' garage on thc mainland(not on the portion of
the property which is the mainland access carve-out). Section 4.2( of the Sawyer Counry
ordinance prohibits construction of an accessory buildins on vacant property.
Describe the impact on the property if thc varinnee iv not granted:
Rridge and Driveway: The variance is reyuired 1'or yeaz round living a��d to protect the
property value. I am not asking for this variance to cre�te finajncial gain. I am asking for
this vsriance in pazt to protect the value of his property that 1 have owned Yor 30 years in
which certain ordinances have been established which now make thc property unusable.
i am asking for the variances bccause without them, tl�e propetty would be rendered
unusahle and/or make compliance the ordinances unreasonably burdensome. Without
this variance dte only way to access the building site on the island will be to construct a 4
foot walkway over the wetland to reach the building site. This will mean that therz will
be no direcc vehide access of any kind to the property. In addition, this will mean thai
during thc winter, we will be driving through a wetla��d to get to the house. 'I'herefore,
no� granting the variance will also mean that a wetland will be negatively impacted.
Garage: lf not granted our only alternative will bc to build a garage with living quarters
in it which will never be used. We have unique property and are just asking thnt you
alluw us co build a garage as a gazage, rather than forcc us to build a house that wil] be
used as a garage.
Describe alternatives:
Bridge and Driveway: As you can see by the site map :uid other inspectiai report there
is no other way that direct vehicular access to dus site can be gained. I have ]egal loc thut
when purchased I could have built on and Uridged too without any restrictions. 1'he
unic1ue namre of this land does not provide for any other alternatives f'or providing this

access. What we are asking for is an azea vaziance. We have no control over the shape
and location of Yhe island and the building site on the island. 'T'here is only one building
site on the island and the only way to gain this access is to cross over this wetland and
have a driveway run I'rom the first bridge that the DNR approvcd to thc building sitc.
An alternative would be to access the site with no vehicles (wa]king). This was
dismissed due to ics restrictive nature. A year round residence is to be buih on the
property. It is very unreasonable to expect that che only access to chis parcel would be on
foot. The DNR has recugnized this in approving the pennit w provide direci access co
tl�e island. Also, if'only a walkway was built, during tlie winter we would be driving
tluough the wetland with full sized vehicics rather than over i[on a bridge.
Garage: We could build a gazage with a living quarters in it. We nced a garage on the
m�inland, because the bridge we have been granted for access to the island is only 8'
wide and wil] only acepntmodate small vehicfes likc ATV's, Golf Carts, etc...
Describe impact on the property and the adjacent properties if the variance is
granted:
Bridge and Driveway: There will be very little impacY to Lhe property a�id none to the
adjacent ones. All ordinances will be coml�lied with in regard to minimizing the impact
on the drea and to protect the wetland and lakebed. Fencing will bc uscd to prevent any
fill being placed into die wetland or lake bed. Ihe bridge itself will not result in any
adverse impact to tlie wetland or lakebed. Tbe driveway wil( noc be paved. It wi11 be
gradc five rock and will be a maximum of'ten f'eet wide. Tliis use of the property is
consistent with all surrounding properties. ln addition, we will not be clearing any large
area of trees other than for the driveway, bridge placemenc or tlie residence itself. We do
not want to clear a large viewins swath of trees for view sake. We wani to maintain the
naturalstate ofthe property as much as possible.
Garage: There will be very little impact to the property a�id none to the adjacent ones.
All ordinances will be complied with in regard to minimizing the impact on the area and
to protect the wetland and lakebed. The garage will not be close to tlle lake or any
wetlancls a�id therefore will have no impact on thein.
Part IT: Three-Step Test
1. Llnique Property Limitations: Yes, the property meets this requirement, sze the
CSM and the Inspection Report.

2. No Harm to public Interests: Thc granting of these variances would not hazm
the public interests in any way. We are asking Yor an area variance that will not
havc a negative impact to the public in any way. We will be buildin� a bridge
tbat will be low to the ground and will not be easily seen by anyone. We plan on
maintaining cl�e shoreline vegetation, bushes and frees to allow for concealment of
this bridge. The drive itself will not be elevated and will not be paved and also
will not be able to be seen. The bridge itself is a clear span.bridge which by its
nature will not impact the wetland or lakc. The Div'R has stafed that diis bridge
over the wctland is a viable alternative ro filing the wetland(whic6 was our
original request). In addition, The DNR has approved a permit to provide direct
access co the island. They havc determined that the bridge to the island(over a
navigable waterway) is not against public interests and will comply wiili all of
cheir regulations. They have determined that it will nat have negative impact to
water quality, fish or flie environment or have a negative impact to the natural
scenic beauty of the area. They have also looked at viable alternatives and have
ugreed by approving the permit that this is the only viable alternative for
aceessing the building site.
As ('or the garage, it will not have any negative impact either.
3. Unnecessary Hardship: Bridge and Driveway-Yes, by defnition, the
imposition of cUese ordinances have establisl�ed an unnecessary hardship. This
property as stated is quite unique and it is impossible to comply witli thz
ordinances and still have a usable property. Widiouc the vaziazices we will not be
able to access the property. This not only makes the property unusable hut by its
naSurc would render the conformity widi such restrictions �nnecessarily
burdensome.
Garage— Yes, by definition, tlie impOsicion of this ordinance will place an
unnecessarily burdensome restriction on the property. Failure to grant the
vuiance will result in having to build a garage with a living quarters in it that wil I
never be used. The uniquc namre of this property has created the need for this
requcst for a variance.

ItE: iVls. Aonna J. W�L�is Variance Request
Parcel: 1.3, Saction 17, T37N, R9W, Lot 12 (mainlaad), Town of�dgewater
Dear Mr, Vallem and Ivlr. Christman:
On September 16, 2004,Natural Resources Consulting, Lna (NRC) inspected the above-
referenced mainlattd parcel. The purpose of the inspection was to consider the proposed
construction of a garage and assess:
1. Unic�ue Pt'opezty Limitations.
2. Potenti�l for Harm to Public Interests.
A. Conelusions
Based on our izlspection, NRC eoncludes that:
• Unique property limitat�ions prevent com�liance with ordiqance requiremepts.
• No harm to pablic intereats would reault frora co,�s2ruction and na9intenance a�the
proposed garage, if the variance were g�rar�ted.
These conclusions and the rationale that follows are based upon zny review of project-televant
background documents, and con.ditivns observed uport dzrect inspection of the subject property
snd the swxouuding area. These conclusions aze also based on opinions I ha�-e reached to a
r�asonable degree of professional certsinty.
I will present the reasoz�izzg and further explanation for these conclusions below, as well as
responses to Wisconsin Department ofNahiral Resources (WI�NR) comments; but fixst, please
allow me to briefly presezJt�y credentials for your in£orznation.
B. Professional Creden�ials
I have a mastex's degree in Watez Resources Manageuxent from UW-Madisoz�arxd over 20 years
of experience centering on impact assessment in wetland5 azld other sensitive natural xesources. I
also hold Professaonal Wetland Scientist and Professional I�ydrologist certifications, and have
completed post-graduate coursework in soil classific�tzon and description. I setved as a wetland
regulatozy specialist for the Az'�y Corps of Engizteets and also inventoried wetlands �or the
WDNR before I becatne a consultant. A copy of my resume is attached.

Septembzr 21,200A
C. �teasoning for Conclusions
1. Uni ue ro er limitations: 'I'hps lakeshore parcel has no open water s�oreline and no
lake view from bui[dable uplands.
• A laxge wetland extends along the entire shoreline of the parcel, providing no access
to open water.
• A wooded island, located directly offshore from the subject parcel, furtber blocks
vzews o£the lake &om this parcel.
• Dense woody vegetation lines the steep bank fronting the lakeshore wetland.
• Another large wetland Yhat is contiguous with the lake extends Snto the back of the
parcel.
• A primary residentxal-use structure would ba dif�cult to sate on this pax�cel because the
available shore-frozzting upland is a nacrow, steep-sided rise between two higka-quality
wetlands. �, house and garage together would likely require a Chapter 30 grading
pertzxit because greater than 10;000 sq. feet of grading would be necessary w7thin 300
feet of special natural r�soutce features. A garage alone w�uld not crigger tttis permit
threshold. Building a garage that contains upst$irs livi�g quarters would provide a
priznary structure in name only.
2. No Harrn to Public Interests. Granting the variance wi11 ►�ot harm natural resource-
related publiC interests, and w�11 enhance certain pub�ic intexests over t�e long-texm.
]. Public health, safety and welfare. NRC did xxot speczfically assess this publac interest
factoz'beeause it is embodied in the foAowing factors.
2. Water Qualiry. Soils in the vicinit}� of tbe proposed gazage are chazacterized by vezy
highly permeable sand and gzavel. Stpruawater runo££from t]�e ro�f can be expected to
percolate quickly zzzto the ground during most storm events. Even in ex2reme events, the
existir�g earth berm will prevent direct unfiltered, high-energy runoff from entering
adjacent waters.
3. Fish and Wildlife Habitat. The pro�osed garage will not affect aquatic, terrestrlal nr
wetland habitat for wildlife and fish in any way due to its distance fr�ni the shore, the
e�isting runoff barrier repeesented by the berm oFcoarse gravel and cobbles that rings tl�e
site on three sides, and the lack of need foz cleariiig vegetation beyond that which has
been previously cleared for past land uses.
4. .ry'arural Scenic Be4uty. The pzoposed garage will be well-screened from vlewers on the
la�Ce azid fiCom any users of the large `bog' or deep marsh located along the shore ofthis
parcel. No trees will be cut for its construction and it is proposed to be located
substantially more tban 75 feet from the ordinary high water mark of Lake Chetac.
Additionally, conshuction of the garage will impCove the aesCh�tzcs of the existing
abandoned graval pit, and provide an indooz facility for storage of vehicles and equipment
that would othexvvise be left outside attd within vie��of neighbors ont walking.

�. -Lfinimizcrtion ofPro�erry Danaages. Vaciance approval will allow tkae property uwner to
protect against property damage that could potentially occur in the absez�ce of an it�door
vehicle storage facility. Unattended velticles are targets for vandalism, even i�i rural areas
such as this.
6. Achievement ofeventual compliance for n�nconforming uses, structures and 1ots. NRC
did not speeifically assess this public interest factor, but it is our understanding that xio
non-confoami�g uses, structures or lots are proposed in conjunction with the subject
paz'cel.

Subject: Ms. Donna J. Willis Variance Request
Dear Mr. Vallem:
Please read this correspondence into the official hearing record for the Ms. Donna J. Willis variance
application. As part of the Department of Natural Resources' responsibility, given by the State
Legislature, to assist counties by commenting on county shoreland zoning variance requests, I have
visited the Willis property and would like to submit the following comments. In this case, the applicant is
requesting three variances for purchaser Mr. William F. Miller. The variances are requested to allow:
(1) Construction of an accessory structure on vacant property, prohibited by §4.26 1),
(2) Land disturbing activities within the 35-foot shoreline vegetation protection area, prohibited by
§4.410, and
(3) Construction of a bridge to cross a wetland within 75 feet of the ordinary high-water mark of Lake
Chetac and adjacent wetlands, prohibited by §4.49 1).
If the Board of Appeals (`Board") does not find that the statutory variance standards can be met far this
project, the Board must deny the variance requests. The fact that the DNR has granted a ch. 30 permit for
the construction of a clear span bridge on the Willis property does not mean that the Board should grant a
variance. The statutory criteria that must be satisfied before a zoning variance can be granted are
different than the standards that apply to ch. 30 permits.
A� the Rr>ard reviews tl.iese ��arianae reauests, nleare keen i.n mind that the applicant ras th� hurden nf
proving that their application meets all of the statutory requirements for the granting of a variance for
each variance request. That is, the applicant must prove that they will suffer unnecessary hardship if the
provisions in the county's shoreland zoning ordinance are literally enforced. However, the Wisconsin
Supreme Court has made it clear that proof of unnecessary hardship by itself does not entitle an applicant
to a variance. All of the statutory variance criteria must be satis�ed. The applicant must prove that their
property has some unique physical limitation that will cause the alleged unnecessary hardship, and that
granting the requested variance will not be contrary to the public interest.
Use Variances versus Area Variances
As you lrnow, the Wisconsin Supreme Court has recently issued decisions in State v. Ziervogel and in
State v. Waushara Courzty Board ofAdjustment that held a distinction should be made between "use
variances" and "area variances" when zoning boards of adjustment or boards of appeal hold hearings on
variance applications. The Ziervogel decision defines the two types of variances as follows:
dnr.wi.gov Quality Natural Resources Management �
wisconsin.gov Through Excellent Customer Service Printe�f on
Recy<ied
. Papar
. �
• Area variances "provide an increment of relief(normally small) from a physical dimensional
restriction such as a building height, setback, and so forth."Ziervogel, ¶23.
• Use variances "permit a landowner to put property to an otherwise prohibited use."Ziervogel,¶21.
Making a distinction between a use variance and an area variance is not always an easy task. Wisconsin
judges and Supreme Court justices have stated in several recent opinions that a request for a variance may
not be an "area variance"request simply because the applicant is seeking a variance from a standard that
is described in dimensional terms.F"or example, allowing greatly reduced setbacks in a resident�al zoning
district that requires significant setbacks and open space could have the same effect as changing the
zoning to a different zoning district that has minimal setbacks and open space,resulting in a use variance
ratherthan an area variance.
Variance Criteria
To grant a variance, the following three criteria must be met:
Unique physical limitations: The applicant must demonstrate that unique physical limitations or special
conditions of the property exist that prevent compliance with ordinance regulations. The physical
limitations must be unique to the property in question and not generally shared by other properties in the
area. Examples of unique physical limitations may be steep slopes,wetlands ar rock outcroppings. When
determining if compliance is prevented,the whole parcel must be considered. For instance, if a reduced
setback is requested from the ordinary high-water mark for a structure,but a compliant building location
is available on the property, the "unique physical limitation"is not preventing compliance,the desire of
the applicant to build the structure in a certain location is preventing compliance.
No harm to public interests: The applicant must demonstrate that variance will not result in harm or be
contrary to public interests. The Board must consider the impacts of the proposed project as well as the
cumulative impacts of similar projects on the interests of the neighbors, the community, and the general
public. These interests are listed in the purpose statement of the ordinance and, for shoreland zoning,
include protection of public health, safety and welfare,maintenance of clean water,protection of fish and
wildlife habitat, and preservation of natural scenic beauty.
Unnecessary hardship: The applicant must demonstrate that if the variance is not granted, an
unnecessary hardship exists. The applicant may not claim unnecessary hardship because of conditions
which are self-imposed or created by a priar owner(for example, excavating a pond on a vacant lot and
then arguing that there is no suitable location for a home). Courts have also determined that economic or
fr.�r.�ial har�'shi d es not �ustif v t +� � •�� • �-� �' a � �
p O j y'a 2i13T'iC�. �il�, «S�i.� Ilvi�vii�.til0i �Ile V?.T1aI1C��WGi.11u iila�ll]1iZG'iii�
economic value of a property (for example,requesting a variance to allow construction of something not
allowed under the county ordinance when selling a property so the variance may be used as a selling point
for potential buyers). When determining whether unnecessary hardship exists, the Board must consider
the property as a whole,rather than just a portion of the parceL The property owner bears the burden of
proving unnecessary hardship.
• For a use variance, unnecessary hardship exists only if the property owner shows that there would be
no reasonable use of the property without a variance.
• For an area variance, unnecessary hardship exists when compliance would unreasonably prevent the
owner from using the property for a permitted purpose (leaving the property owner without any use
that is permitted for the property)or would render conformity with such restrictions unnecessarily
burdensome. The Board must consider the purpose of the zoning restriction, the zoning restriction's
�, .
effect on the property, and the short-term, long-term and cumulative effects of a variance on the
neighborhood and on the larger public interest. This standard reflects the new Ziervogel and
Waushara County decisions.
Review of the Willis Variance Application
The Board of Appeals will first need to determine whether the variances that have been requested are "use
variances"or"area variances"in order to apply the proper standard for determining whether or not
"unnecessary hardship"exists. I believe that the variance that has been requested to allow the
construction of an accessory structure on vacant property should be characterized as a use variance,
although the other two might be considered"area variance"requests. The Board will need to consider
whether the second and third variance requests involve relatively small increments of relief from physical
dimensional restrictions, or would permit the property owner"to put property to an otherwise prohibited
use."
Regardless of whether the variance requests are characterized as"use variances" ar"area variances,"it
does not appear that Ms. Willis, or Mr. Mi11er as a potential purchaser, would sutfer any unnecessary
hardship or unnecessary burden in this case if the variances were denied. The mainland parcel provides
more than adequate room for a home, garage and other accessory structures on the property. The property,
as a whole, may be used far its permitted use without constructing a bridge to cross a wetland to access a
portion of the property that is an island to build a house. The Wisconsin Supreme Court has repeatedly
held that a finding of unnecessary hardship may not be based on conditions that are personal to the
owners of the land. The desire to access the island to build a home, when other compliant locations are
available on the mainland portion of the parcel,is matter of personal convenience that does not constitute
"unnecessary hardship."
If the"no reasonable use in the absence of a variance"test is applied, it is clear that a reasonable use of
the property already exists: the construction of a home and accessory structures on the mainland portion
of the property is possible without a variance.
If the "unnecessarily burdensome"test is applied, I believe that the burden that the property owner would
have to bear if not allowed to construct a bridge to cross a wetland within 75 feet of the ordinary high-
water mark, or to conduct land disturbing activities within the 35-foot shoreline vegetation protection
area, would not be an unnecessary burden. Some limitations on the use that can be made of the Willis
property are necessary so that the purposes of shoreland zoning can be achieved. This is because the
requested variances could undermine the purposes behind prohibiting vegetation removal, land disturbing
zcti.�:t:es a::a mast st:�.:c±u:e�withir.the s?:cre:ar.c? setba�l�area.
In the Ziervogel decision, Justice Sykes states:
". . . all zoning restrictions impose some burdensome effect on property and all variances run contrary
to the purpose of the ordinance to some degree. The inquiry should focus on how they do so, and to
what extent, in light of the circumstances of each individual case. The board must determine whether
a hardship unique to the property has been demonstrated and whether the relief requested is consistent
with the public interest such that a variance should be granted,or whether a variance would subvert
the purpose of the zoning restriction to such an extent that it must be denied." Ziervogel,¶34.
"Whether [the "unnecessarily burdensome"] standard is met . . . will depend upon the board of
adjustment's consideration of the purpose of the zoning restriction in question(including the
important public purposes of shareland zoning generally),the effect of the restriction on the property,
and the effect of a variance on the neighborhood and the larger public interest." Ziervogel,¶42.
Shoreland zoning ordinances serve the important purposes of protecting fish and wildlife habitat,
protecting water quality and protecting the public interest in our navigable waters, including natural
scenic beauty. The construction of the driveway and a bridge across a wetland within the ordinary high-
water mark and wetland setback could negatively impact water quality during construction, increase the
area of impervious surfaces on the property, which will likely increase the stormwater runoff to the lake
after construction, and adversely impact the shareland buffer area that is so critical for wildlife and fish
habitat and scenic beauty in the shoreland area. Repeated variances for the construction or expansion of
structures within the shoreland buffer area would have a significant cumulative, adverse impact on
navigable waterways and would be contrary to the public interest.
Thank you for your consideration.
�Sincerely,

Dear Ms.Willis:
We have reviewed your application for a per�T�it to construct a bridge over Lake Cnetac,iocated in
the Town of Edgewater,��wyer County. Yc,u r�ill be pleased to know your app:icaticn is
approved with a few limi!ations.
I am attaching a copy of your permit which lists the conditions which must be foliowed. A copy of
the permit must be posted for reference at the project site. Please read your permit conditions
carefully so that you are fuily aware of what is expected of you.
in regard to the island wetland r.rossing,it is o�_:r understanding that the change in±he project
proposal will cross the we�tland with a clear span bridge. As long as the crossing is a�ove the
wetland(recommend'2.5 foot ciearance above the wetland)and will not result in a di�charge ot
material or placemeni of material in or on the wetland,the DNR does not have jurisdiction and we
concur with Jason Berkner's statement to that effect. Additionally,the placement of the wetland
crossing may not be constructed over an aro��that is below the Ordinary High-Water Mark
(OHW M)of the island without obtaining a Chapter 30 permit.
Dave Kafura visited the site on July 28,2004,and marked the OHW M with flags. Based on the
field visit he found an area of wetland 25 feet,6 inches in width,which is above the OHW M.He
found two laths placed on each end of the wetland that he understands to approximate the
centerline of the proposed bridge.If the brid�e is placed on this centerline you should be able to
avoid encroachment beyond or over the OHW M of Lake Chetac at this island wetland crossing.
Please note you are required to submit photographs of the completed project within 5 days after
you've finished construction. This helps both of us to document the completion of the projeci
and compliance with the permit conditions.
Your next step will be to notify Dave of the date on which you plan to start construction and again
after your project is complete.
If you have any questions about your permit,please call Dave at 715-634-9658 ext.3523.

FINDINGS OF FACT
1. Donna W illis has filed an application for a permit to construct a bridge over Lake Chetac,
located in the Town of Edyewater, Sawyer Coun.ry, also described as i� govemment lot 1
Section 17, Township 37 NoRh, Range 9W. Tiia applicant proposes to sell the propery and
the buyer proposes to construct a residence on an isiand, with access via the bridge. The
applicant and the buyer intend to use the bridge for pedestrians and small vehicles such as an
AN, goif cart, or snowmobile.
2. The project will consist of a clear span bridge with a maximum total width of 8 feet and have
at least a 5-foot clearance above the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) at the bridge center.
The bridge placement across the waterway will be at a location where the width of the
waterway from the mainland OHWM and the island OHWM is less than 35 feet.
3. The Department has completed an investiyation o� the project site and has evaluated the
project as described in the appl�cation and plans �> documented in the July 2, 2004 latter
from Attorney Amy Tutwiler.
4. The proposed project, if constructed in accordance with this permit will not adversely affect
water quality, will not increase water pollution in surface waters and will not cause
environmenial pollution as defined in s. 283.01(6rn), Wis. Stats.
5. The proposed project will not impact wetlands if constructed in accordance with this permit.
6. The Department of Natural Resources and the applicant have completed all procedural
requirements and the project as permitted will comply with all applicable requirements of

Re: Lots 12 and 13,being part of Gov't lot 1,S 17,T 37N,R 9W;Parcel:13

Re: Parcel : 1 .3, S 17, T 37N, R 09W, Town of Edgewater: Application for Variance
Dear Mrs. Willis:
I have enclosed the following documents with this letter.
• Inspection Report for the above property,
• Application for Variance — Additional Information,
• Board of Appeals Conclusions of Law Form (This is the form that the Board members
will use to determine if your situation meets the requirements for the granting of the
variance that you have requested.) and a
• completed "Variance Application."
If you believe that you meet the criteria for the requested variance you should review the
application for correctness. If correct, sign the application and return it to this office with
a check in the amount of $250.00 made out to the "Sawyer County Zoning
Administration" by Friday, August 6, 2004 for hearings in September 2004.
The "Application for Variance - Additional Information" must also be filled out and
returned with the Variance Application. Both documents together make up the entire
application that will be reviewed by the Sawyer County Board of Appeals. Failure to
return both of the documents or failure to complete either document in its entirety will
cause the variance application to be rejected by this office.
Your "Variance Application" will be reviewed at two public hearings. The first hearing
will held by the Town of Edgewater at 7:00 P.M., Tuesday, September 14, 2004. You
should contact Natalie Clemens, Town of Edgewater Clerk, at (715) 354-7747 (home) to
confirm the date and time.
The Sawyer County Board of Appeals will hold the second hearing at 7:00 P.M.,
Tuesday, September 21, 2004, in the large courtroom located in the Sawyer County
Courthouse. You or your representative should attend each hearing, especially the
hearing conducted by the Sawyer County Board of Appeals. Only the Board of Appeals
can grant the variance, the decision of the Town of Edgewater is advisory only.
It is your responsibility to convince the Board of Appeals to grant the variance that you
have requested. Therefore,you should consider using any means at your disposal(i.e.,
photographs,drawings,a good verbal presentation,etc.)as you present your facts to the
Board.
Please contact Mrs.Kitty Taylor if you have any questions.Office hours are 8:00 A.M.to
4:00 P.M.,Monday through Friday.
Yours truly,
