Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Civil
Constitutional Law — regulatory takings – cause — injury
Peter J. Butzen, d/b/a Falls Metals, Inc., appeals from a judgment dismissing his regulatory takings and substantive due process claims against the City of Sheboygan Falls. Butzen argues that the takings resulted from a City zoning ordinance later ruled unconstitutional. He fails to challenge certain critical findings, such that he has not established cause or injury, dooming his takings claim. We commend the circuit court for a careful and thorough decision and affirm the judgment. This opinion will not be published.
