WI Court of Appeals – District II

Case Name: Town of Mukwonago v. Ralinda L. Howard, et al

Case No.: 2016AP1651-FT

Officials: Neubauer, C.J.

Focus: Zoning Violation

The Town of Mukwonago appeals from a judgment and two orders which held ALH Irrevocable Trust and Ralinda L. Howard in contempt for violating a stipulation and a provision of the Town’s zoning code by having “kept” more than seven horses on ALH’s property on three occasions. The circuit court sanctioned ALH and Howard together, $500 for each of the three violations and made them jointly and severally liable. The Town complains that the circuit court should have found twenty-four separate violations and that the sanction should be imposed against ALH and Howard separately.
