DESCRIPTION OF VARIANCE REQUESTED:
Mike Kickbush, on behalf of the Bordeau-Jones Revocable Trust, is requesting a variance from Section 3.12(4)
of the Door County Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance which requires accessory structures on lots without an
associated principal structure to be a maximum of 120 square feet, not greater than 13 feet 6 inches in height,

public road right-of-way with electricity.
DECISION:
On the basis of the Decision-Making Worksheets (attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as if
set forth in full) and the record in this matter the Board of Adjustment finds and determines that:
A. The requested variance from Section 3.12(4) of the Door County Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance does

DECISION-MAKING WORKSHEET
APPLICANT(S) NAME(S): Mike Kickbush
PROPERTY ADDRESSES / PIN: 1061 Old West Harbour Rd/ PIN: 028-01-02332931E
HEARING DATE: August 25, 2026
DECISION DATE: August 25, 2026
DESCRIPTION OF VARIANCE REQUESTED:
Mike Kickbush, on behalf of the Bordeau -Jones Revocable Trust, is requesting a variance from
Section 3.12(4) of the Door County Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance which requires accessory
structures on lots without an associated principal structure to be a maximum of 120 square feet,
not greater than 13 feet 6 inches in height, and have no water servi ce, sanitary waste disposal,
or electricity connected to the structure. The applicant proposes a 30’ x 24’-6” (735 square feet),
15’ 1 ¼” tall, accessory structure on the vacant lot located east of the public road right-of-way with
electricity.
To grant an area variance, all three of the standards enumerated below must be met. In
addressing each standard, express the reasons for the decision, i.e., why the facts did or
did not satisfy the standards, the weight and credibility of the evidence presented (or
lack thereof), and any other relevant considerations.
1. UNIQUE PHYSICAL PROPERTY LIMITATIONS.
Are there unique physical property limitations such as steep slopes, wetlands, or parcel shape
that prevent compliance with the ordinance? The circumstances of an applicant (growing
family, need for a larger garage, etc.) are not factors in deciding variances. Property limitations
that prevent ordinance compliance and are common to a number of properties should be
addressed by amending the ordinance. The variance is not warranted if the physical character
of the property allows a landowner to develop or build in compliance with the zoning ordinance.
In order for a variance to satisfy the unique physical property limitation test, the question
below must be answered affirmatively.
Does this property contain unique physical property limitations (e.g., wetland presence,
parcel shape, steep slope, etc.) that would prevent compliance with the ordinance?
YES _____ NO __X__
EXPLAIN: The lot being bisected by a public road right-of-way does not create a unique
limitation specific to this property since several parcels in the area and around the county share
this characteristic.

2. UNNECESSARY HARDSHIP.
Unnecessary hardship exists when a literal enforcement of the ordinance would unreasonably
prevent the owner from using the property for a permitted purpose or when conformity with
ordinance standards would be unnecessarily burdensome.
Considerations:
• Unnecessary hardship should be determined in light of the purpose and intent of the
zoning ordinance in question, as well as any statute or administrative rule upon which
the ordinance is based. (See page 4.) The facts of the case should be analyzed in light
of these purposes. Only after considering the purpose(s) of the statute and/or
ordinance, and the nature of the specific restriction(s) at issue, may a decision be made
as to whether or not failure to grant a variance will cause an unnecessary hardship.
• Unnecessary hardship may arise due to a unique property limitation of a parcel (see #1,
above). A variance is not warranted if the physical character of the property allows a
landowner to develop or build in compliance with the zoning ordinance.
• Unnecessary hardship does not include considerations personal to the property owner
(e.g., personal preference, desire to maximizing the economic value of the property, or
financial hardship caused by ordinance compliance).
• Any self-created hardship, and/or any hardship that existed irrespective of the zoning
ordinance in question are not proper grounds upon which to grant a variance.
• Alternatives to a variance (e.g., conditional use permit or restrictive covenant) may, as
neither runs with the land, be preferable to accommodate a disability of the owner or
owner’s dependent.
In order for a variance to satisfy the unnecessary hardship test, one of the questions
below (A or B) must be answered affirmatively.
A. Does denial of the variance -- i.e., requiring compliance with the strict letter of the
ordinance provision(s) in question (e.g., setbacks, height limitations, etc.) --
unreasonably prevent the owner from using the property for a permitted purpose?
YES _____ NO __X__
EXPLAIN: The floor area limitation of 120 square feet does not prevent reasonable use
of the property. The ordinance does allow for them to build a conforming accessory
structure in the location the applicant is proposing or for them to include a dwelling unit
in the proposed design.
OR
B. Is conformity with the regulation(s) unnecessarily burdensome?
YES _____ NO _____
EXPLAIN:

3. PUBLIC INTEREST/SPIRIT AND INTENT OF THE ORDINANCE.
A variance may not be granted which results in harm to public interests, nor thwarts the spirit
and intent of the ordinance. In applying this test, the board should review the purpose
statements of the ordinance (and any statute or administrative rule upon which the ordinance is
based) in order to identify public interests. (See page 4.) The short-term and long-term impacts
of the proposal and the cumulative impacts of similar projects on the interests of the neighbors,
the community, and even the state, should be considered. Review should focus on the general
public interest, rather than just the narrow interests or impacts on neighbors, patrons, or
residents in the vicinity of the project.
Cumulative effects are a proper consideration. For instance, in the context of shoreland zoning,
the general availability of variances permitting the horizontal expansion of structures so close to
the water's edge may have the cumulative effect of enclosing our lakes within a wall of
impermeable surfaces to the exclusion of vegetation and impairing the ecological functions of
the shoreland buffer.
A variance is not a popularity contest. The mere fact of public support or opposition is not, in
and of itself, determinative of whether or not a variance is contrary to the public interest.
The board may grant only the minimum variance needed, i.e., the minimum variance necessary
to relieve the unnecessary hardship. For instance, if the request is for a variance of 30 feet from
the minimum setback, and a finding is made that a 10-foot setback reduction would allow the
petitioner to use the property for a permitted purpose, then only a 10-foot setback reduction may
be authorized.
Distinguish between hardships that are unnecessary in light of the unique conditions of the
property and the purpose of the zoning ordinance from hardships that are inconsequential or not
unique or because a variance would unduly undermine the purpose of the ordinance or the
public interest.
In order for a variance to satisfy the public interest test, the question below must be
answered negatively.
Does the granting of the variance result in harm to the public interest?
YES _____ NO __X__
EXPLAIN: There would be no negative impact or harm to public interest.
Has the applicant seeking a variance demonstrated that each of the three standards has
been satisfied in this case? YES _____ NO __X__. If yes, then substantial justice will be
done by granting the variance.

Wisconsin Statutes Purpose Statement
281.31. Navigable waters protection law
"(1) To aid in the fulfillment of the state's role as trustee of its navigable waters and to promote
public health, safety, convenience and general welfare, it is declared to be in the public interest
to make studies, establish policies, make plans and authorize municipal shoreland zoning
regulations for the efficient use, conservation, development and protection of this state's water
resources. The regulations shall relate to lands under, abutting or lying close to navigable
waters. The purposes of the regulations shall be to further the maintenance of safe and
healthful conditions; prevent and control water pollution; protect spawning grounds, fish and
aquatic life; control building sites, placement of structure and land uses and reserve shore cover
and natural beauty." (Emphasis added.)
Examples as to how to use the above in conjunction with analysis of a variance request
When considering a variance request to relax the required ordinary high water mark setback,
county zoning ordinance purposes (8), (10), (11), and (13) are likely relevant to consider.
Purposes (2), (3), (4), and (5) may also be relevant. Depending upon the nature of the variance
request, any of the components of the statutory purposes behind shoreland zoning (above) may
be relevant to consider.
When considering a variance request to relax a required yard (setback), county zoning
ordinance purposes (2), (3), (4), and (5) are likely relevant to consider.
