Listen to this article

The Town of Bass Lake and a town supervisor, Philip Nies, appeal judgments upholding variances granted to two applicants. The Board of Adjustment allowed the applicants to remove dilapidated buildings and replace them with new buildings that violate the lot size and setback restrictions contained in the Sawyer County Zoning Ordinances. The Town argues that the applicants failed to prove that there was no reasonable use of the land without a variance, that the property was unique and that the variance was not contrary to the public interest. It also argues that the Board considered improper factors when it approved the variances.

We reject these arguments and affirm the judgments.

This opinion will not be published.
