WI Court of Appeals – District II

Case Name: Mark Reinders et al v. City of Delafield et al

Case No.: 2015AP896

Officials: Neubauer, C.J., Reilly, P.J., and Gundrum, J.

Focus: Writ of Certiorari

The City of Delafield and the Delafield Common Council (hereafter Delafield) appeal from a circuit court order granting a petition for a writ of certiorari and requiring Delafield to approve a certified survey map (CSM) submitted by Mark Reinders and Sheridan Ryan (hereafter Reinders) to subdivide their residential lakefront lot into two lots. We agree with the circuit court that in declining to approve Reinders’s CSM, Delafield proceeded on an incorrect legal theory and made an arbitrary and unreasonable decision that was not supported by the evidence. We affirm the circuit court’s decision directing Delafield to undertake further proceedings necessary to approve the CSM.
