WI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: County of Walworth v. Brendan J. Hehir
Case No.: 2017AP1437
Officials: GUNDRUM, J.
Focus: Real Estate – Zoning
On August 31, 2016, the County of Walworth cited Brendan J. Hehir for illegally operating as a “lodge” a single-family property he owned in a residentially zoned area. Following a court trial, the circuit court determined inter alia that even if Hehir had operated a lodge as alleged, such operation was lawful as the continuation of a nonconforming use. Because we conclude the circuit court’s determination was correct, we affirm.
