Municipalities — certificates of appropriateness

This case involves the proposed redevelopment of the Edgewater Hotel in Madison. Nearby landowners, Frederic Mohs and Eugene Devitt, and two limited liability entities, Wisconsin Ave. House LLC and 122 East Gilman LLP (collectively the appellants), challenge the Madison Common Council’s decision to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness. The developer, Landmark X LLC, needs this Certificate to proceed with redevelopment because the Edgewater Hotel is located in a historic district. The appellants sought certiorari review of the Council’s decision in circuit court. The circuit court affirmed the Council. We now affirm the circuit court. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
