Municipalities
Zoning variances; appeal
David and Shirley Nelson appeal from an order granting summary judgment in favor of the Town of Summit, n/k/a Village of Summit (for ease, “Summit”), and Waukesha County. The Nelsons argue that they should not have to undertake a futile administrative appeal or other formal challenge to a variance denial. We agree with Summit and the County that the Nelsons’ claims are not ripe until they at least demonstrate futility by pursuing a final decision from the regulatory authority. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
