CHAIR STEINKE: Okay. We're going to5
call the meeting to order at 10:32. Looks like on6
the clock, 10:31. The Board of Adjustment went out7
and did the onsite inspection this morning and now8
we're back and we're reconvening our meeting.9
Mr. Sullivan, has the media, neighbors10
and general public, applicant and property owners11
been notified of the meeting and the hearing12
schedule?13
MR. SULLIVAN: Yes.14
CHAIR STEINKE: The board meeting and15
public hearing are open to the public. Anyone16
wishing to address the board, as long as they're17
recognized by me, then we'll do it in an orderly18
fashion. Identify yourselves and make sure that19
you've signed in on the sheet over here.20

is recorded and it's a public hearing.2
Barry, would you like to read the staff3
report?4
MR. SULLIVAN: Yes.5
MR. BAYER: Before we do that, Mr.6
Chairman, I just wanted to, for the benefit of7
those that weren't here this morning, just wanted8
to mention that the Board of Adjustment met at 8:459
and then adjourned to conduct the site inspection,10
which was conducted on site earlier, and at the11
property, and then from there my understanding is12
that we didn't lose anybody on the way back, that13
all of the Board of Adjustment members that were14
present this morning have returned and are now15
present at this time. Right? Is that right?16
CHAIR STEINKE: Correct.17
MR. BAYER: Okay. Okay.18
MS. HENRY: Can you hear him? Could you19
hear Nathan speaking?20
MR. SHERIDAN: Yeah, I can.21
MR. BAYER: Okay. Just let me know. I22
just, I didn't want to shout, shout everybody out23
of the room, but --24
MS. HENRY: Can we shut the door?25

can't shut the door.6
MR. SHERIDAN: Didn't we say the public7
comments go first?8
MR. BAYER: That's right.9
MS. HENRY: He was just putting on the10
record.11
MR. BAYER: I was just putting on the12
record.13
MR. SHERIDAN: I'm sorry. I'm a little14
hard of hearing.15
MR. BAYER: Sure. No problem. What I16
was doing I just wanted to recognize that for the17
benefit of those that are just joining us now, that18
I was just putting down on the record that we19
conducted the site inspection earlier and that all20
of the same Board of Adjustment members that21
attended this morning are now, are now back.22
And we'll put those names in there later23
because we did not have the court reporter here24
when we first went on the record at 8:45. So we'll25

just clean that up at the end of the meeting.1

Staff report for Board of Adjustment7
hearing, January 11, 2023, known as Ozaukee Board8
of Adjustment Exhibit 1.9
Charles Sheridan Living Trust by Charles10
Sheridan appeals these two decisions of the Ozaukee11
County Zoning Administrator.12
1, the Administrator's September 13th,13
2022, denial of the Trust's request for multiple14
variances associated with the Trust's plan to15
construct a boathouse.16
And 2, the Administrator's17
September 26th, 2022, denial of the trust request18
for a shoreland permit.19
These appeals both relate to the20
following property: Town of Fredonia, Township 1221
North, Range 21 East and part of the Southeast22
Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of Section 28.23
Tax key number 03-028-12-002.00. Site address:24

formerly known as The Button Factory.1
Background: Since acquiring the property2
in 1989 Mr. Sheridan has applied for several3
variances and a shoreland permit to convert a4
nonconforming structure located within the floodway5
of the above-described property into a commercial6
boathouse. The following is a timeline of several7
events relevant to these appeals.8
1, May 22, 1989, Mr. Sheridan purchased9
the property at the Sheriff's auction for $2,30010
subsequent to tax foreclosure by Ozaukee County.11
2, September 13, 1991, the Board of12
Adjustment held a hearing on the application for a13
variance filed Mr. Sheridan seeking a reduction to14
a shoreland setback requirement. Mr. Sheridan15
presented a plan to reconstruct the, reconstruct16
the nonconforming structure to its historic17
appearance and to install a kitchen and bathroom18
with the intention of using the nonconforming19
structure as a residence. The BOA denied Mr.20
Sheridan's variance application for reduced21
setback.22
3, June 27, 2022, Mr. Sheridan submitted23
a new variance application requesting the following24
variances and presented a plan to convert the25

nonconforming structure to a commercial boathouse.1
Attachment A.2
A, Substitution of Use, 7.1204(D).3
B, Dimensional Area Variance, sub I,4
improving structure that is beyond the ordinary5
high water mark 7.0305(B). Double I, Exceed Square6
Footage 7.0305(C). Triple I, Setback From Ordinary7
High Water Mark 7.0305(D); 4, Structural Height8
Limit 7.0307.9
4, September 13, 2022, department issued10
a letter denying the new variance application.11
Attachment B.12
5, September 21st, 2022, Mr. Sheridan13
submitted a shoreland permit application requesting14
permission to convert the nonconforming structure15
into a commercial boathouse. Attachment C.16
6, September 26th, 2022, the department17
issued a letter denying the shoreland permit18
application citing applicable authority and19
providing its reasons for denial. Attachment D.20
7, October 11, 2022, Mr. Sheridan21
submitted an application to appeal the second22
variance application denial. Attachment E.23
8, October 24th, 2022, Mr. Sheridan24
submitted an application to appeal the shoreland25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
10
permit application denial. Attachment F.1
Jurisdiction. The Board of Adjustment,2
BOA, has jurisdiction under 7.1204(D) to hear and3
decide application for substitution of less4
nonconforming uses for existing nonconforming uses.5
The BOA has jurisdiction under 7.1204(C) to grant a6
variance from the dimensional standards of this7
ordinance pursuant to Section 7.1206.8
The BOA has a jurisdiction under9
7.1204(B) to hear and decide the appeals where it10
is applicable, where it is alleged there is an11
error in any order, requirement, decision,12
interpretation or determination made by the zoning13
administrator.14
Bases for denials. Mr. Sheridan's15
intention was to, 1, obtain a substitution use and16
dimensional variances itemized above; and 2,17
subsequently obtained a shoreland permit to convert18
the nonconforming structure into a commercial19
boathouse.20
Request for substitution of use variance21
under 7.1204. Mr. Sheridan states in his22
application for a variance and request for a23
hearing that the nonconforming structure has not24
been used for more than 12 months for any purposes.25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
11
Attachment A, page 11.1
When the nonconforming use or use of a2
nonconforming structure is discontinued for 123
consecutive months, any future use of the property4
or structure shall conform to the Ozaukee County5
Shoreland and Floodplain Zoning Ordinance, pursuant6
to 7.0901(A) and 7.0902(B)6. Parentheses, see also7
59.69(10)(am), Wisconsin Statutes and NR8
116.15(1)(b), Wisconsin Administrative Code,9
parentheses. The jurisdictional provision cited10
above, 7.1204(E), indicates that the BOA has, BOA11
only has the authority to allow substitutions for12
existing nonconforming uses. As the commercial use13
of the property and use of the nonconforming14
structure has been discontinued for more than15
12 months, there is no existing nonconforming use16
to substitute for.17
The ordinance in Section 7.1206 C 3 also18
broadly prohibits allowance of a use variance that19
would grant, extend, or increase any use prohibited20
by this ordinance, or allow actions which would21
require an amendment to this ordinance or zoning22
map. The ordinance in 7.0808 B more specifically23
provides that no fill or structures shall be24
permitted in the floodway other than those25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
12
specifically allowed under Section 7.0808.1
The ordinance under 7.0808 E defines2
prohibited uses in relevant part as uses not listed3
in Section 7.0808 C, or 7.0808 D. Uses are not4
required -- requiring a shoreland permit are listed5
in 7.0808 C. None of the uses permitted by 7.08086
C are relevant to Mr. Sheridan's proposal. Uses7
requiring a shoreland permit are listed in 7.08088
D, which does not reference commercial boathouses.9
The nonconforming structure is located10
wholly within the floodway of the Milwaukee River.11
The provisions in 7.0808 and 7.0809 apply to12
permitting in the floodway and floodfringe13
respectively, and are patterned after NR 116.12 and14
116.13, Wisconsin Administrative Code, which also15
regulates development in the floodway and16
floodfringe.17
Respectively, reading these ordinances18
and code provisions collectively, it is evident19
that structural commercial uses may be permitted in20
the floodfringe but not in the floodway.21
Mr. Sheridan states that with a permit22
one can have a structure that is dependent on a23
waterfront location, such as a boathouse.24
Attachment E, page 10. This is a general statement25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
Page 9 of 67
Page 13 to 16 of 104 4 of 41 sheets
13
that fails to confront a more specific prohibition1
on commercial structures in the floodway. Even if2
7.0808, 7.0809 and NR 116.12 and 116.13 were3
construable to allow commercial boathouses in the4
floodway, Mr. Sheridan would still have to comply5
with FEMA floodproofing standards, which is6
something he has previously acknowledged to the7
department of land and water is not possible.8
Mr. Sheridan states that there is no law9
or ordinance prohibiting unused buildings from10
being used again. And Attachment E, page 10.11
The broad statement fails to confront the12
specific prohibitions that apply to the13
discontinued use of a nonconforming structure14
located within the floodway.15
Mr. Sheridan also broadly states that16
boathouses are permitted under Ozaukee County17
Ordinance 7.0305, Attachment E, page 3. This broad18
statement fails to confront the prohibition on19
permitting new commercial structures in the20
floodway.21
Request for dimensional variances under22
7.1206. The ordinance under 7.1205 B requires that23
Mr. Sheridan meets the burden of establishing the24
following factors before the BOA may grant his25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
14
dimensional variances:1
1, literal enforcement of the provisions2
of this ordinance will result in unnecessary3
hardship to the applicant.4
2, the hardship is due to unique property5
conditions not common to nearby lots or property.6
3, the variance is not contrary to the7
public interest.8
4, the variance is consistent with the9
purpose of this ordinance set forth in Section10
7.0104.11
Furthermore, the BOA must make all the12
following findings under 7.1206 C 1 to 6 before it13
may grant any of the dimensional variances14
requested.15
Preservation -- 1, Preservation of16
intent. The variance is consistent with the17
purposes of this ordinance as set forth in Section18
7.0104.19
2, Unnecessary hardship: A literal20
enforcement of the ordinance will result in21
unnecessary hardship.22
3, Use variance prohibited. The variance23
will not grant, extend or increase any use24
prohibited by this ordinance or allow actions which25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
15
would require an amendment to this ordinance or the1
zoning maps in accordance with Section 7.13O -- 00.2
4, Exceptional circumstances. There are3
unique conditions associated with the property4
that's not common to nearby lots or properties.5
4, Financial hardship and self-created6
hardship not grounds for a variance. A variance is7
not being granted on the basis of financial8
hardship, to increase the economic value of the9
property, or because of conditions that are10
self-created.11
6, Absence of the detriment. The12
variance will not damage the rights, rights or13
property values of others or contrary to the public14
interest, or harm these natural resources that this15
ordinance is intended to protect.16
The ordinance under 7.1206 C 3, states17
that dimensional variances are not permitted if18
they would grant, extend or increase any prohibited19
-- use prohibited by the ordinance. Mr. Sheridan20
seeks several dimensional variances to enable him21
to construct a commercial boathouse in the22
floodway. As established above, the ordinance does23
not permit the development of commercial structures24
in the floodway.25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
16
Mr. Sheridan states that in his variance1
appeal that he will suffer unnecessary hardship if2
his requests for dimensional variance is not3
granted. Attachment E, pages 10 through 11.4
The ordinance defines unnecessary5
hardship as a circumstance where special conditions6
affecting a particular property, which were not7
self-created, make it strict conforming with the8
restrictions governing dimensional standards, such9
as lot area, lot width, or setbacks, unnecessarily10
burdensome or unreasonable in light of the purposes11
of this ordinance.12
The Supreme Court has similarly held that13
when considering an area variance, the question of14
whether unnecessary hardship or practical15
difficulty exists is best explained as whether16
compliance with the strict letter of the17
restrictions governing area, setbacks, frontage,18
height, bulk, or density would unreasonably prevent19
the owner from using the property for a permitted20
purpose or would render conformity with such21
restrictions unnecessarily burdensome. 2 Rathkopf,22

Board of Adjustment, 74 Wisconsin 2d 468, 4741
through 75, 247 North W 2d 98 (1976). As Mr.2
Sheridan is proposing to use the property for3
purposes not permitted by the ordinance, he is4
unable to demonstrate unnecessary hardship.5
Any hardship that Mr. Sheridan alleges6
due to his inability to construct a commercial7
boathouse on the property is a self-created8
hardship contrary to 7.1206 C 5. Mr. Sheridan9
bought the property at a sheriff sale as is at10
auction prices and subject to all shoreland zoning11
limitations. The intent of the ordinance would be12
repeatedly thwarted if individuals were allowed to13
purchase discontinued nonconforming uses and14
structures and establish new nonconforming uses by15
obtaining variances.16
Mr. Sheridan is also seeking to increase17
the economic value of the property by converting18
the nonconforming structure for commercial use,19
contrary to 7.1206 C 5.20
Mr. Sheridan has failed to establish21
under 7.1206 C 4, that exceptional circumstances22
exist on the property that are not common to nearby23
lots or properties which are also located on the24
river. Mr. Sheridan even states that no adjacent25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
18
properties have similar situations for allowing1
such a boathouse. Attachment E, page 11.2
Mr. Sheridan alleges that his proposal is3
in the public interest because it would enable4
public access to the river, but 7.1206 C 1 requires5
the BOA's focus to be on the purpose of the6
ordinance as stated in 7.0104. The stated purpose7
of, in 7.0104 includes minimizing water pollution,8
preserving open space, preventing flooding, erosion9
and runoff, protecting fish and aquatic life,10
preserving natural beauty, protecting life, health11
and property, and preventing waste due to flood12
damage. The primary purpose of the ordinance is13
not to promote the public interest in recreation,14
but to promote the public interest in preservation15
of the shoreline.16
Appeal of the denial of shoreland permit.17
The shoreland permit was denied for the same18
reasons stated above. The Trust's appeal suggests,19
without enumerating specifically why, that the20
administrator's interpretation or application of21
parts of the zoning code were in error, were in22
error. Although the administrator's interpretation23
and application is correct, the issue is moot for24
the following reason:25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
19
The Trust's appeal and application1
acknowledges that the requested shoreland permit2
cannot be approved unless variances are approved3
and all other provisions of the Shoreland and4
Floodplain Zoning ordinance are followed. If any5
one of the variance is not granted, the denial of6
the permit application for any other reason is7
irrelevant.8
The Trust's argument related to a9
prospective private onsite wastewater treatment are10
irrelevant. Mr. Sheridan appeals the department's11
denial of a variance based on private onsite12
wastewater treatment regulations, POWTS, under13
7.0902 C 2 and 3. Attachment F, page 3. This14
issue is not a matter for the BOA's review at this15
time as Mr. Sheridan has not applied for a POWTS16
permit.17
The Wisconsin Department of Natural18
Resources advisement that the boathouse is allowed19
under Chapter 30 of the Wisconsin Statute is20
irrelevant.21
Mr. Sheridan repeatedly asserts that the22
variances and shoreland permit should be granted23
because the Wisconsin Department of Natural24
Resources has advised him that they have no issue25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
20
with him converting a nonconforming structure to a1
boathouse. Relevant to Mr. Sheridan's proposal,2
the Wisconsin DNR enforces Chapter 30 of the3
Wisconsin Statutes. Rather than advising Mr.4
Sheridan that there are no barriers to his5
proposal, the Wisconsin Department of Natural6
Resources has merely advised him that there are no7
Chapter 30 limitations on his proposal.8
The Wisconsin Department of Natural9
Resources does not regulate shoreland zoning. The10
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources supports11
the County's decision to deny the variances and12
shoreland permit under the ordinances, under the13
Ordinance, Wisconsin Administrative Code and14
Wisconsin Statute. End.15
CHAIR STEINKE: Barry, I have one16
question. When you said the tax key, you said 0317
and our sheets say 04. The first number.18
MR. SULLIVAN: It should be 04.19
CHAIR STEINKE: 04.20
MR. SULLIVAN: Yes. Mr. Chairman, I do21
have correspondence as well. If you would like me22
to read that.23
CHAIR STEINKE: Yeah, please read them.24
MR. SULLIVAN: Okay.25

MS. GORDEN: It's a part that exhibit.1
(Discussion off the record.)2
(Exhibit No. 2 thru 6 marked.)3
MR. SULLIVAN: Exhibit, Board Adjustment,4
Ozaukee County Board Adjustment Exhibit 2. This is5
a letter from Dairyland Public Interest Law.6
Kathleen Henry, attorney, sent this to Nathan,7
outside corp counsel, attorney. He forwarded this8
to both myself and corp counsel.9
January 9th, 2023, Charles Sheridan's10
addendum to attachments to applications for11
variances and shoreland permit on appeal to the12
Board of Adjustment.13
MS. HENRY: At least tell him it's just14
one page, so they're not waiting.15
MR. SULLIVAN: Yeah, it's a one-page16
document. This addendum supplements the17
applications concerning a boathouse, attachments18
and exhibits already filed in appeals to the Board19
of Adjustment from Charles Sheridan.20
1, Some variances we applied for should21
not be required by the county. In our application22
for variances we applied for a substitution of use23
under the Ozaukee County Ordinance 7.1204(D).24
However, we are not a nonconforming use as our use25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
22
is allowed in this district. Both boathouses and1
commercial uses are lesser included use in2
industrial districts. The building has not been3
used for more than 12 months for any purpose. It4
is therefore a discontinued use.5
We also applied for two related setback6
variances, variance of 7.0305(D), setback minimum7
10 feet from the ordinary high water mark; and8
variance of 7.0305(B), ordinary high water mark, as9
instructed by the county. However, we do not need10
either setback variance because under Wisconsin11
Statutes 59.692(1k)(a)2a, a county may not prohibit12
repair or remodeling if it does not expand the13
footprint of the structure. We will not be14
expanding the footprint of the building.15
The only two variances we should be16
required to apply for are height and width as17
stated in our application, needed because of the18
existing height and width of this historic19
building.20
2, We should not be required to apply for21
a shoreland zoning permit. We applied for a22
shoreland zoning permit, but we would not be23
required to because the building is below the24
ordinary high water mark and falls outside county25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
23
shoreland zoning because the county shoreland1
zoning begins at the landward of the ordinary high2
water mark. The DNR regulates navigable waters.3
The County Ordinance 7.0502 may not apply. We will4
not be doing activities mentioned in that5
ordinance.6
A, filling, grading, or excavating in any7
area within 300 feet of the landward of the8
ordinary high water mark of a navigable water on9
which there is, 1, filling, grading, or excavation10
of more than 1,000 square feet on slopes of 12 to11
20 percent or more. 2, filling, grading,12
excavating of more than 2,000 square feet on slopes13
less than 12 percent. 3, any filling or grading on14
slopes of more than 20 percent. B, changing,15
enlarging, or removing materials from navigable16
waters. Very truly yours, Kathleen Green Henry.17
I have submitted this app to the18
Wisconsin DNR officials, Dale Rezabek, copy Andrea19
Stern, with this, as well as a copy of the survey.20
I, my question to the, to Dale and21
Andrea. I sent this out on January 9th, 2023.22
They responded. But this is what I sent to them23
first.24
Dale and Andrea, attached is an addendum25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
24
that the outside counsel for the Board of1
Adjustment received today from Mr. Sheridan's2
attorney. I also attached the most current survey3
of the property. If you look at the Item 2, in4
the, we should not be required to apply for a5
shoreland zoning permit. They state we applied for6
a shoreland zoning permit, but we should not be7
required to because the building is below the8
ordinary high water mark and falls outside of9
shoreland zoning because the county shoreland10
zoning begins at the landward of the ordinary high11
water mark. This is incorrect -- this is12
incorrect. The only high water mark is on the13
outside of the building. I believe Kathi Kramasz14
had informed me verbally of this several years ago.15
Therefore, the building is considered on the16
landward side of the ordinary high water mark. Can17
you confirm this? Thanks, Barry.18
Response from Mr. Dale Rezabek, that same19
day, Hi, Barry, this is response to your request20
for technical assistance regarding implementation21
of shoreland zoning standards in the county22
ordinance. Please feel free to summarize or23
incorporate portions of this response as your, as24
you find appropriate within county correspondence25

on this matter and/or with the applicant.1
The former button factory is an existing2
nonconforming structure and is properly regulated3
under shoreland zoning. Yes, it intersects the4
ordinary high water mark, but is not a structure5
regulated under Chapter 30. It is also a structure6
located within the floodplain zone and within the7
floodway. Parentheses, correct, Andrea,8
parentheses. Dale.9
Exhibit 3, this is correspondence from10
the DNR regarding the appeal hearing.11
January 10th, 2023. Ozaukee County Board of12
Adjustment. Our address here. Appeal hearing for13
Charles Sheridan Living Trust Property, Town of14
Fredonia, Ozaukee County.15
Dear Board Members: We are writing to16
you to provide Wisconsin Department of Natural17
Resources, department, comments regarding the18
appeal hearing for the denial of the permit19
application and variance application for Charles20
Sheridan Living Trust Property to be heard by the21
Ozaukee County Board of Adjustment (Board) on22
January 11, 2023.23
We appreciate that you provided us with24
the materials for this public hearing. We are25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
26
providing these comments to you in place of making1
an appearance at the public hearing in person.2
The department has reviewed the permit3
application, the variance application, and denial4
letters for each by the county. The department has5
reviewed the county zoning staff reports for6
appeal. The department concurs with the findings7
for the staff report, and in addition the report8
represents the department's communications with Mr.9
Sheridan regarding the proposed commercial wet10
boathouse. The department agrees that the zoning11
office has regulated the parcel correctly according12
to county shoreland zoning ordinance and county13
floodplain zoning ordinance provisions.14
Sincerely, Dale Rezabek, Shoreland15
Specialist, Andrea Stern, Water Management16
Engineer.17
Exhibit 5. I wrote emails to the DNR for18
some clarification regarding dealing with Chapter19
30 stuff. So when I wrote this one out, I sent20
this out yesterday, yesterday and Mr. Rezabek21
responded back. Dale and Andrea, one additional22
thing. Does a commercial boathouse require a DNR23
permit? And secondly, if so, has Mr. Sheridan24
submitted an application to the DNR for a25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
27
commercial boathouse? Regards, Barry.1
Mr. Rezabek responded back. I have2
attached the email about how we responded to Mr.3
Sheridan about that question. Hope this helps.4
Thanks, Dale.5
Exhibit 6 is the attachment that Mr.6
Rezabek sent. This is the same one that's probably7
in your application on the Chapter 30, but I wanted8
to make clarification before the hearing. That's9
why I did this.10
Mr. -- Hello, Mr. Sheridan. This was an11
email that Dale Rezabek sent to Mr. Sheridan, dated12
August 9th, 2022. Hello, Mr. Sheridan. The13
department has reviewed your project about the14
permitting of The Button Factory under the15
commercial boathouses section, Section 30.121(3w).16
The department no longer believes these17
requirements apply to your project. Wisconsin18
Statutes 30.121(5), Wisconsin Statutes specifically19
contemplates the applicability of boathouse20
certification requirements for structures listed on21
the National Register of Historic Places.22
Considering the facts of the project as we know it,23
we have determined that The Button Factory will not24
require a boathouse certification issued by the25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
28
department under Chapter 30 Wisconsin Statutes.1
However, you should continue to work on obtaining2
approvals for your project from Ozaukee County3
under the County's Floodplain and Shoreland Zoning4
Ordinances, as well as any permitting necessary5
from the Town of Fredonia Zoning Ordinance. Please6
work with those local regulatory entities regarding7
any requirements -- required next steps in their8
respective authorization process. Dale. That's it9
for me.10
MS. HENRY: Do you have an extra copy of11
the exhibits?12
MR. SULLIVAN: Yes. These are all the13
same.14
MS. TOMTER: Can I get a clarification?15
When you were reading the responses and the16
question was because the building may not be under17
shoreland zoning because it's below the high water18
mark, was the answer it still requires shoreland19
zoning?20
MR. SULLIVAN: Yes. The DNR has21
confirmed that the ordinary high water mark is on22
the outside backside of the building. Therefore,23
the building is considered in county shoreland24
zoning and the county has, it's under county's25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678

29
jurisdiction.1
MR. SHERIDAN: That's not correct. The2
ordinary high water mark goes through the building.3
MR. SULLIVAN: The DNR's contention is4
the building is part of shoreland zoning.5
Therefore, the building is under county6
jurisdiction for regulation purposes.7
CHAIR STEINKE: While you take care of8
this paperwork, can we open up the public comment9
then?10
MR. SULLIVAN: Yes, I'm done with.11
CHAIR STEINKE: It's 11:06. We are going12
to open up the public comment. As long as you've13
signed in, stand up, state your name and state your14
opinion.15
CHAIR STEINKE: Yes?16
MS. LUFT: Who wants to go first? I'll17
go last.18
CHAIR STEINKE: Well, then we need19
somebody to go first.20
MR. BERNHARDT: My name is Paul21
Bernhardt. My wife Jodi and I lived on Mill Street22
just west of the feed mill, or what used to be the23
feed mill, and I guess we are here because we got24
the notice, but I didn't really know what the whole25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
30
plan was.1
Our big concern is the feed mill and the2
safety. Obviously, that if you were there today,3
you saw it's somewhat closed off. It's caved in a4
lot. I'm not sure what the meaning of a commercial5
boathouse is. What, what would be the end use if6
it was to be.7
CHAIR STEINKE: Let us, we have a8
definition. Not your definition of a commercial9
boathouse.10
MR. BERNHARDT: That's what I'm looking11
for.12
MR. HUBING: While he's looking for that,13
can you specify which building you're talking about14
versus the one we looked at?15
MR. BERNHARDT: Well, the meeting is16
about the boathouse, which I didn't know that was17
specifically about that.18
MR. HUBING: Okay.19
MR. BERNHARDT: I'm worried about the20
whole, the mill, the entire property, yes.21
MR. HUBING: Which would be west of it?22
MR. BERNHARDT: Right.23
MR. HUBING: Where the road is closed.24
MR. BERNHARDT: Which is what I see from25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
31
my house.1
MR. HUBING: Okay.2
MR. BERNHARDT: But now that we're3
talking and I'm listening I'm wondering what4
exactly a commercial boathouse is and what it would5
be used for if it's not just for private use.6
CHAIR STEINKE: I'm looking for it.7
MR. SULLIVAN: Survey's in the packets.8
MR. SHERIDAN: Can I borrow it?9
MR. SULLIVAN: Yeah. Yeah. It's the10
exact same survey.11
MR. SHERIDAN: Okay.12
MR. BERNHARDT: I didn't mean to make you13
work this hard.14
MR. BAYER: While we are looking for15
that, can I just make a humble suggestion so we16
don't end up covering the same ground five or six17
times, is perhaps -- the general purpose of the18
public hearing portion is for anyone that has an19
opinion to weigh in on concerns that they might20
have about either granting or denying the variance,21
or the interpretation of the code, or the request22
for the alternative use.23
So I -- my suggestion would be to accept24
comment at this time and then address any specific25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
32
questions during the, during the portion of your1
argument when we'll swear any witnesses in, and at2
this point just accept feedback and, and comments3
from the public. Not to not answer that question,4
but to address it as part of the argument that5
would be made on behalf of, you know, either the6
county, or the applicant, and then make a note to7
specifically address the boathouse related issues.8
Otherwise, I'm just afraid that we're9
going to deep -- we're in the open public hearing10
portion and we're going to sort of devolve into an11
argument back and forth, which we are going to do12
again later. So that was my suggestion. That13
would just be my suggestion. If everybody's okay14
with that. Otherwise, we might be here until five15
in the afternoon as well.16
CHAIR STEINKE: The definition of17
boathouse is used exclusively for commercial18
purposes. Boathouses located on lands owned19
exclusively for commercial and industrial purposes.20
The boathouse is located on above ground.21
It does have prohibitions against certain22
things in a boathouse, but we don't have to go into23
that for now.24
MR. BERNHARDT: Okay. And then like I25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
Page 14 of 67
9 of 41 sheets Page 33 to 36 of 104 10441
33
said, we were here because we are obviously1
concerned about the state of the feed mill too.2
CHAIR STEINKE: Right. And we're not3
taking any action on that at this time.4
MR. BERNHARDT: I get that now. And then5
I'm not sure what the island would ever be used for6
when it's under water often. The -- I see that the7
proposal to donate island to the county, that just8
kind of -- it was just a question.9
CHAIR STEINKE: And that would not be10
under board of adjustment either.11
MR. BERNHARDT: Okay.12
CHAIR STEINKE: We don't accept donations13
at this point.14
MR. BERNHARDT: Gotcha.15
CHAIR STEINKE: Anybody else?16
MS. RETZER: Karen Retzer. I live in17
Waubeka and I've been there for like over 50 years18
and I know the, kind of the history a little bit of19
The Button Factory.20
The older buildings, I was glad to see21
that it was kind of being fixed up a little bit,22
and I feel that it should continue to be worked on23
so that it can remain as a, the history of Waubeka,24
you know, too. I think that's important for a25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
34
small town. So I would definitely hope that he1
would continue.2
MS. GORTON: My name is Cheryl Gorton and3
I too live in Waubeka, in fact on Mill Street, and4
we've been hearing a lot about the constitution5
this week in the news and we're all, we all enjoy6
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and for7
Charlie, that happiness is restoring an old8
building, and listening to the litany of denials9
that's happened, clearly it's been his happiness10
has kind of been trampled here, and I'm not an11
expert in law or anything else, but to me that's12
what comes up.13
I would love to see him be able to follow14
through with his plans. He's not asking any of us15
for money. He uses his own finances. As far as I16
know, Mill Street will never be a four-lane road.17
It's pretty settled there. I just don't see what18
the, what the problem is. So, in support of19
Charlie. Thank you.20
CHAIR STEINKE: Would you like to speak?21
MS. FULCOMER: I'm just observing22
actually.23
CHAIR STEINKE: Okay.24
MS. FULCOMER: But I could, and I'm25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
35
Jacqueline Fulcomer, F U L C O M E R. I think that1
it's important, I really do want to just see focus2
on making the building stable and fixing it up as3
necessary to keep the integrity of the building.4
So, whether that's creating a boathouse5
or not, I guess like all the laws are there for6
reasons, but I -- I -- I just want to see more7
focus on action and creating a safe and -- I can't8
even speak clearly. I'm really sorry. To me it's9
just most important to make the building stable,10
and that should be, in my opinion, humble opinion,11
the first thing focused on.12
Long-term things are great, but just13
getting like the nuts and bolts of preventing it14
from collapsing or making it more sound as a15
structure to promote the integrity of the16
historical structure is important, and that's it.17
CHAIR STEINKE: Thank you. All right.18
MS. LUFT: I'd rather go up there because19
I'm distracted watching my, as you're typing, I'm20
watching that.21
(Discussion off the record.)22
MS. GORDEN: When people are done23
speaking, could they step back into the public24
area? Because it creates the impression visually25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
36
that they're a member of the committee.1
MS. LUFT: I've been sitting here.2
THE REPORTER: You can sit here to speak.3
MS. LUFT: No. I'm fine. I'll stand.4
My name is Christine Luft, Waubeka. Generations5
have lived in the Waubeka area of our family. My6
interest is Waubeka, Town of Fredonia. I love --7
I've lived there my whole life. I only came to8
Port Washington to be born and I went home and I'm9
still there.10
So, The Button Factory is a historical11
part of Waubeka's history. It is like the saying12
about a baseball field, if you build it, they will13
come. These early businesses were built before14
roads. There was a trail along the river. Then15
one of many businesses that came to Waubeka was the16
button factory, the mills, which made this small17
town burst with life.18
There was no zoning. There were no19
ordinances. There were no setbacks. It was in the20
floodplain because it needed water power. For more21
than 30 years this gentleman, Mr. Sheridan, has22
been trying to save this building by even getting23
it on the National Register of Historic Places.24
It has survived many floods through its25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
Page 15 of 67
Page 37 to 40 of 104 10 of 41 sheets
37
lifetime. The first known picture of that area is1
1880, by Nicholas Cigrand, Bernard Cigrand's2
father. So there's document of the flume and3
everything, you know, it's there. So, it has4
survived many floods, including after the dam5
removal, which we've had a lot of floods even after6
the dam's gone. I can verify that in our VFW park.7
It survived the big ice flood a few years ago. It8
standed the test of time.9
Mr. Sheridan has stated he has DNR10
approval for restoring this building and foundation11
meeting their requirements. He has met opposition12
for many years at the town and county level. Now13
the issue is basically the 12-month nonuse change14
in use, all of what you distinctly talked about.15
There have been many, The Button Factory16
has had many use changes with 12-month intervals of17
no vacancies over the years and no one has seemed18
to need it to get a variance before this.19
Different uses of The Button Factory were used as a20
community building, a dance hall with entertainment21
that I don't want to go into any further. A 4-H22
meeting room, to a private summer home residence.23
All of these changes took place over many years.24
I'm sure with 12-month intervals between, you know,25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
38
without needing variances.1
Another example of this type of situation2
of change in use also took place in our town. A3
school house was vacated with loss of use.4
CHAIR STEINKE: Ma'am, could you5
please -- we don't care about other issues. Just6
stick to this one.7
MS. LUFT: Okay. I'm just saying that8
there's been other things with these changes in9
uses. We know that there's been changes, uses in10
The Button Factory. I'll get down to the end here.11
Please be realistic and allow these12
buildings to be restored, like The Button Factory.13
Time is of the essence, even though it's survived14
many, many floods. The gentleman is working hard15
to, to go through all the steps. Possibly, a16
variance or re-visiting some of these ordinances on17
these historic buildings and old buildings to help18
revitalize a building like this would help, like19
re-visit your ordinances or give variances.20
Thank you.21
CHAIR STEINKE: Anybody else wish to22
speak?23
MR. FELLENZ: Just a question.24
CHAIR STEINKE: Yes.25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
39
MR. FELLENZ: Rick Fellenz, if this is1
granted, is there any liability of the county or2
this board if there's a failure and a lawsuit?3
CHAIR STEINKE: That I wouldn't know.4
You would have to refer that to corporate counsel.5
MS. GORDEN: I'm sorry. What was the6
question? I was conferring with Barry.7
MR. WINKER: Rick, ask your question.8
MR. FELLENZ: If this is granted and9
there's an incident or a failure of this building,10
is the county and this board held harmless, or is11
there a potential lawsuit?12
MS. GORDEN: The county wouldn't have13
liability for a property owner's negligence in14
maintaining their property, no. Not just because15
they granted a permit. That wouldn't impose16
liability.17
If you're done speaking, could I have you18
sit over here?19
MS. FULCOMER: Oh, yeah. I'm sorry.20
MS. GORDEN: No, that's okay. There is21
no usher directing you.22
CHAIR STEINKE: Anybody else wish to23
speak? If not, we are going to close the public24
hearing at 11:21 and open our meeting.25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678

MS. GORDEN: Chair?1
CHAIR STEINKE: Yes.2
MS. GORDEN: Could Mr. Sullivan address3
the public comments about the use, the permissible4
use of the property?5
CHAIR STEINKE: Sure.6
MR. SULLIVAN: Barry Sullivan, land water7
management. The use, the structure since it has8
not, has not been in use for more than, for more9
than 12 months consecutive use, requires it to be10
brought into full compliance with the Ozaukee11
County Shoreland and Floodplain Zoning Ordinance.12
However, since the building has historic13
status, the only use that Mr. Sheridan could14
restore it back to as is is if he restores it back15
to the original use, which was a button factory.16
Any other change in use is prohibited, would17
require him to bring into full compliance with the18
ordinance.19
MS. GORDEN: And so that's merely because20
of the historical, it's noted as a historical21
structure on the registry.22
CHAIR STEINKE: All right. Any other23
questions before we, on this part before we move24
forward? All right. At this time I'll let you25

make your presentation.1
MR. SHERIDAN: Okay. I need to pass out2
some handouts.3
CHAIR STEINKE: Is there a difference4
from what we have already?5
MR. SHERIDAN: No. The, in order for6
people to see that.7
MS. HENRY: Yes, it's different.8
CHAIR STEINKE: It's different. Okay.9
MS. HENRY: Yeah. I didn't realize you10
already had the addendum, so you could -- --11
MR. SULLIVAN: Yeah.12
MS. HENRY: -- take it off and look at13
his.14
MR. SHERIDAN: We can open it up. You15
don't need to do that.16
MS. HENRY: Okay.17
MR. SHERIDAN: You can open it up and you18
can see because if you can't see well from here,19
then I'll point out everything on here. Okay.20
MS. HENRY: These poster boards we should21
mark it as.22
MR. SHERIDAN: So that's just, you get a23
close-up of the poster board, what I'm talking24
about.25

(Discussion off the record.)1
(Exhibit No. 7 marked.)2
CHAIR STEINKE: Okay. You can begin.3
MR. SHERIDAN: Okay. So I'm going to4
point out when I'm making the talk and I'm going to5
point to each one of those things as we go along.6
Okay.7
All right. So I'm Charles Sheridan.8
Good morning. The Button Factory shown in the9
photo is an interesting, has an interesting10
background. The factory used water power to punch11
buttons from river clam shells in the river before12
1900. I purchased the building from the county, I13
guess I said 1990. I guess it's 1989. I can't --14
been a long time. So it has been used as a weekend15
getaway from my family of three ladies from a16
Milwaukee trucking family for decades.17
A permanent roof was installed on the18
building. Okay. After the purchase. About five19
years ago we got the building on the National20
Register of Historic Places.21
I am a self-employed carpenter. Alone I22
rebuilt the rodded windows, put on new siding and23
painted the building. I sincerely hope that the24
building can get a permit, for without a permit the25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
43
building will end up being demolished and that1
would be very sad to see a building on the national2
register demolished.3
Please see the blueprint here. Here's4
the blueprint of the building. Okay. This shows a5
side view. Is everybody following this so far?6
Okay. So this is a side view of the building on7
the east side of the building. This is the8
building from the road. After this, this would be9
after we put a front porch on it. The entire10
building has to be raised up at least three feet.11
We would have to raise the building and then we12
would have to put a new foundation under it. The13
foundation is in terrible condition. It needs to14
be replaced.15
Okay. So the idea here is to create a16
wet bay boathouse and kayaks could settle, could go17
directly from the river into the building. And18
then so the inside of the building becomes an19
extension of the river.20
All right. So, the county has already21
reviewed the foundation plan, and just to make a22
correction, the county did approve the23
floodproofing plan for the foundation. So. That's24
approved by a professional engineering and25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
44
architect firm.1
Okay. Most important thing about this is2
creating a public benefit. So we wish to create a3
boathouse business in this building here. Okay.4
But we also want to enable the public who do not5
own boats to rent boats and to take river tours.6
Okay. Now turning to Google earth map,7
this is -- does everybody follow and have the8
Google earth map and following along? Okay. So9
this is The Button Factory, which you just went to.10
Some of you parked on the road over here. And then11
some folks went over to take a look at the mill12
here. So our family owns both these properties13
here. And I just want to go over some, we're14
trying to do something for the public, not only to15
create a boathouse business and allow people that16
don't have boats to use boats in the river. We'd17
also like to give a public access to the river here18
for small boats, for kayaks and what have you. And19
then we also want to donate this island, which we20
own. This was originally a part of the land before21
it was excavated out. We own this property right22
here. We've done research on this. So we'd like23
to donate this property as a public park, and to24
this point the county has not really shown any25

45
interest. Okay. So, okay.1
Okay. Okay. Here, here's a book.2
Something I've read from, and this is, this is3
called Wisconsin Water Law in the 21st Century, and4
I'm going to quote from page 12 and 13 of this5
book, written by a gentleman named Paul Kent from6
Madison. So. And Ozaukee -- and this is quoting7
from the book. Ozaukee County has a duty under the8
public trust doctrine to enable the public to fish,9
hunt and recreate on Wisconsin waters. The county10
should not stand in the way of the public to access11
the river, which it would be by denying a permit to12
rebuild the boathouse. Okay.13
And it says as a sovereign state, this is14
again quoting from the book, Wisconsin chose to15
incorporate the public trust language from the16
Northwest Ordinance Constitution in 18 -- in its17
constitution in 1848. The public trust doctrine18
establishes both an affirmative duty on the state19
to protect and, to protect and promote public20
rights in navigable waters and a limitation of21
government powers prevent abridgement of these22
public rights.23
Thank you for your time.24
CHAIR STEINKE: Questions?25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
46
MS. FULCOMER: My question was you1
mentioned that the foundation needs to be raised2
three feet. Is it because a boathouse height needs3
to be three feet higher than what it already is?4
MR. SHERIDAN: Yes. Yes.5
MS. FULCOMER: Okay.6
MR. SHERIDAN: So this old foundation is7
not a legal, legally permissible. It's below the8
100-year floodplain. So the, the whole structure9
would need to be raised up on piles, on cribbing,10
and then we would put a totally new foundation11
that's built like a bomb shelter. It's designed12
with 12-inch thick walls, rebar. There's steel13
crisscrossing this thing. I mean it's just -- go14
ahead.15
MS. FULCOMER: But is it really because16
the height of the foundation is not the --17
CHAIR STEINKE: It's got nothing to do18
with the existing foundation. He has to get the19
floor high enough out of the flood area. So in20
order for him to get the floor high enough and have21
head room in the basement he's got to raise the22
building up is what he's saying.23
MS. FULCOMER: Okay. So it has nothing24
to do with what is required to create a boathouse25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
47
in terms of --1
CHAIR STEINKE: Uh-uh.2
MR. SHERIDAN: I'm sorry, I'm not3
hearing.4
CHAIR STEINKE: But he wouldn't have5
enough height in the basement to stand in it if he6
doesn't raise it because the floor in the boathouse7
has to go up.8
MR. SHERIDAN: Okay.9
MS. FULCOMER: Okay. I only ask because10
I thought I read all boathouses need to be ten feet11
high.12
MR. SHERIDAN: We're just trying to raise13
it so that the --14
CHAIR STEINKE: But then his height --15
hold it. Please stop.16
MR. SULLIVAN: Yeah, one person at a17
time.18
CHAIR STEINKE: One at a time.19
MR. SHERIDAN: Okay. So we'd have to20
raise this so the wood part of the building is21
above the 100-year flood elevation.22
MS. FULCOMER: Okay.23
MR. SHERIDAN: And just to repeat, the24
county has approved the design for the new25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
48
foundation.1
MS. FULCOMER: Well, maybe not the2
county. He's shaking his head no. Maybe not the3
county, but maybe the DNR approved it?4
MR. SHERIDAN: The DNR also approved the5
whole project without reservation.6
MS. FULCOMER: Okay.7
MR. SHERIDAN: Any other questions?8
CHAIR STEINKE: I have a question for9
you. What's the cost of that? What's your budget10
for this?11
MR. SHERIDAN: At least a 100,000. I12
talked to Ostburger Concrete --13
CHAIR STEINKE: Oostburg Concrete.14
MR. SHERIDAN: I'm sorry. Oostburg15
Concrete. This was a two-year estimate. They want16
45,000 just to do that, and that may be higher now.17
I would say at least 15,000 minimum to raise the18
building. And then, and then probably a good bit,19
because as you saw, the floor, the first floor is20
totally gone. So we have to put steel beams across21
and then we need to tie the whole foundation22
together. So it's just, it's monstrously strong.23
CHAIR STEINKE: And when you crib this24
you're going to have to do that in the floodplain?25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
Page 18 of 67
13 of 41 sheets Page 49 to 52 of 104 10441
49
MR. SHERIDAN: Right. And you have to1
move quick because --2
CHAIR STEINKE: Let me finish asking3
questions before you answer, please.4
MR. SHERIDAN: Sorry. Sorry.5
CHAIR STEINKE: So you're actually going6
to be working outside of the parameters of that7
building in the floodplain?8
MR. SHERIDAN: Correct. Just for the9
temporary cribbing.10
CHAIR STEINKE: I understand.11
MR. SHERIDAN: Right.12
CHAIR STEINKE: But you're still going to13
need permission to work in that also when you crib14
that thing up. Where you going to put the building15
when they work underneath it?16
MR. SHERIDAN: It's going to go straight17
up in the air. It's not going to be moved. It's18
just going to go straight up in the air. Probably19
four feet maybe. I don't know.20
But the, the, I got an estimate from this21
company in, up in, further north, and they said22
that we need to move quick because we don't want23
to -- because once we get it up in the air we have24
to get the foundation in right away because of the25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
50
potential for flooding.1
CHAIR STEINKE: Any other questions?2
Barry, do you want to clarify anything of what he3
said?4
MR. SULLIVAN: Yes, I would like to5
rebuttal. First item regarding the island. No6
documentation has been submitted to the department7
of proof of ownership.8
MR. SHERIDAN: Okay. All right. But the9
island is not up for review; right?10
MR. SULLIVAN: Clarification. Two, Mr.11
Sheridan mentions about the roof being fixed up.12
On June 8th, 1989, Dennis Kenealy, corporation13
counsel, sent Mr. Sheridan a letter informing him14
that it is permissible to do minimal work on the15
building only to the extent to prevent vandalism to16
the property. Mr. Kenealy informed Mr. Sheridan17
that any work requires a permit from the county.18
December 12th, 1991, Mr. Sheridan sent a19
certified letter to the County and Town of Fredonia20
Chairman that he intends to put a roof on the21
structure. The Town of Fredonia chairman informed22
Steven Narveson that the town has not authorized23
the construction of the roof.24
January 15th, 1990, Steve Narveson sent25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
51
Mr. Sheridan a letter informing him the department1
would allow a temporary roof on the structure such2
as a tarp, plastic, or similar nature.3
April 18th, 1990, memo sent to4
corporation counsel, that the inspector from this5
department, at the time called environmental6
health, had visited the property and observed a7
permanent roof being constructed without permits8
from the county.9
Second, foundation, that Mr. Sheridan is10
talking about. Oh, I'm sorry. Foundation. That11
has not been approved by the county. He submitted12
a shoreland permit application with that proposal13
in there. The shoreland permit application was14
denied because he was proposing a change in use of15
the structure and could not meet all the16
requirements of the Ozaukee County Shoreland17
Floodplain Zoning Ordinance. So that application18
was denied on October 5th, 2021.19
MR. SHERIDAN: Can I point out one more20
thing? Okay. If you guys, if you look on -- I'm21
just changing the subject. If you look on the22
survey, because there was discussion previously23
about the ordinary high water mark. If you look on24
the survey, you will see that the ordinary high25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
52
water mark goes through the building like this. It1
does not come over here. It goes through the2
building. And if we create a wet bay boathouse,3
that means that we're allowing the river into the4
building, which is already in the building, and so5
this all becomes, mostly becomes water in here.6
So, and my understanding is water is DNR and land7
is the county. I mean Barry told me that.8
MR. SULLIVAN: Rebuttal. That is9
incorrect.10
MR. SHERIDAN: Okay. Maybe my memory is11
getting too old. I don't know. Any other12
questions?13
CHAIR STEINKE: So has the building been14
inspected and been permitted with the local15
municipality for the roof and all the work you've16
done on it?17
MR. SHERIDAN: No.18
MR. SULLIVAN: Clarification. No19
building permit was issued by the Town of Fredonia.20
Town of Fredonia was in the same boat as the county21
at the time when he put the permanent roof on. The22
county had filed a lawsuit through the corporation23
counsel --24
MR. SHERIDAN: Correct.25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
Page 19 of 67
Page 53 to 56 of 104 14 of 41 sheets
53
MR. SULLIVAN: -- with the court. The1
Town of Fredonia was part of that, and sided with2
the county in that lawsuit.3
MR. SHERIDAN: Right. That's correct.4
And what was decided that I was allowed legally to5
keep the roof, but I had to pay a fine.6
Anything else? Any other questions?7
CHAIR STEINKE: Any other questions for8
the presenter? None appearing. Okay. Thank you9
for your presentation.10
Comments from the board members? We'll11
take them one at a time maybe. We have multiple12
requests for variance here. Even though the13
corporate counsel sent a letter saying she doesn't14
think we need to grant these. Did our counsel look15
at this, her letter, and do they concur that, from16
Kathleen here, that --17
MR. BAYER: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I18
think that question is directed at me.19
CHAIR STEINKE: Yeah.20
MR. BAYER: So, as counsel for the board21
of adjustment, I don't take any position on whether22
any particular appeal or application for a variance23
should be granted or denied.24
My role is to assist the body in ensuring25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
54
that a proper record is made that will uphold any1
decision yay or nay that's made on any of the2
requests. So my, my role and directive is again to3
help make a good record and try to keep the body4
focused on the, on the elements of the request for5
the variance.6
So there's one point I'd like to make is7
if you look at the application, I think it does8
three things. As I read it, the -- it requests a9
number of variances. It, it --10
MS. HENRY: Excuse me. Did you know I11
wish to speak? Am I coming after you?12
MR. BAYER: Yeah, that's where I was13
going.14
MS. HENRY: I was doing correct.15
MR. BAYER: I wanted to suggest that16
counsel may want to address those before we opened17
it up to questions for the, for the applicant.18
So, the way I read it is, and you can19
correct me, counsel, if I'm incorrect. I see that20
there's a number of requests for specific21
variances. There's one challenge saying that we22
believe that the administrator, or the specialist,23
misinterpreted the code. And then the third24
request is for a substitution, and that is under25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
55
7.1207.1
And so I think in my mind the best way to2
go through these is to perhaps have Miss Henry3
further clarify on behalf of her client4
specifically what requests for variances that5
they're requesting, and how and why they meet the,6
the conditions that are laid out under the code,7
and I'll get into those in a second.8
And then have her address the allegation9
that there was a misinterpretation of the shoreland10
zoning code, and then finally address the11
substitution.12
And with respect to those variances, as13
I'm sure everyone knows, the existing code is very14
clear on what has, what conditions have to be met.15
A request for a variance under 7.1206 requires16
specific findings, and it can be granted if the17
literal enforcement of the ordinance will result in18
unnecessary hardship, and that the hardship is due19
to unique property conditions. That the variance20
is not otherwise contrary to the public interest.21
And that the variance is otherwise consistent with22
the shoreland zoning ordinances. And then there's23
specific findings that have to be made.24
So my suggestion at this point would be25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
56
to have counsel for the applicant address those1
three things. Address specifically the variances2
that are being requested and why they meet those3
conditions. Address the allegation that the, that4
the code was misinterpreted. And then also address5
the request for the substitution. And then if the6
county wants to respond to any of those, we would,7
you know, you could take further comment or8
testimony from Mr. Sullivan, and then open it up to9
questions by the board about the variance, the10
allegation that there was a misinterpretation in11
the substitution. And then entertain motions on12
the variances and the other allegations. That13
would be my suggestion.14
MS. GORDEN: And, Chairman, I think you15
directed a question, a specific question to me as16
the board's counsel, so the board's counsel has17
spoken, but if you want my client to respond to the18
addendum, we could certainly do that.19
CHAIR STEINKE: Do you want to do that20
now or do you want to let her make her case first?21
MR. BAYER: I think it would, my22
recommendation would be to allow because we've23
heard from the --24
CHAIR STEINKE: There may be more25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
Page 20 of 67
15 of 41 sheets Page 57 to 60 of 104 10441
57
questions when she does this.1
MR. BAYER: Yeah, I think that that would2
be, we've heard from Mr. Sheridan, and I think it3
would be appropriate for her counsel, or his4
counsel to speak, Miss Henry to speak and address,5
address the legal issues.6
MS. GORDEN: We'll remind you of your7
question later.8
CHAIR STEINKE: Thank you. Miss, would9
you like to address us then or are you prepared?10
MS. HENRY: Yes, but could I go off the11
record for one second to talk to Mr. Sheridan?12
CHAIR STEINKE: Sure, go ahead.13
(Discussion off the record.)14
MS. HENRY: Okay. We're back on the15
record.16
MR. SHERIDAN: Where are we here? No.17
Well, no, what I was, what I said was Ozaukee18
County has a duty under the public trust doctrine.19
So I was not -- I made a mistake. I was not20
quoting from the book at that point. So, that was21
my own personal opinion, that Ozaukee County has a22
duty under the public trust doctrine to enable the23
public to fish, hunt and recreate. That was not,24
that was not from the book.25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
58
CHAIR STEINKE: Okay.1
MR. SHERIDAN: I made a mistake, I made a2
mistake there because I was -- and then later down3
I was reading from page 12 and 13.4
CHAIR STEINKE: Okay. We understood5
that.6
MR. SHERIDAN: Pardon me for that.7
CHAIR STEINKE: Okay. Gotcha.8
MS. HENRY: Okay. I'll proceed. I'll9
speak for about ten minutes. Is that all right?10
Or do we need a break first? Or do you want to --11
CHAIR STEINKE: No. Go ahead.12
MS. HENRY: Go ahead. Okay. My name is13
Kathleen Henry. I'm an attorney with Dairyland14
Public Interest Law in Madison. I've been helping15
Mr. Sheridan with his efforts to repurpose The16
Button Factory as a boathouse for over a year now.17
Around a year-and-a-half or two.18
The board has received packets that are19
admitted into evidence. This morning we're asking20
the board to reverse the decision of the zoning21
administrator and grant Mr. Sheridan the variances22
and permits needed to repurpose the historic button23
factory into a boathouse.24
This board is not required to defer to25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
59
the administrator's decision, and there would be no1
purpose to an appeal if that were required. This2
building, The Button Factory is on the national and3
state historic registries and the county should4
allow Mr. Sheridan a reasonable use of his5
property.6
It would cause him great hardship if he7
were allowed no use of the building. And very8
importantly, the DNR has approved the use of the9
building as a boathouse. We believe a boathouse is10
in compliance with all applicable Ozaukee County11
ordinances and the state administrative code12
provisions, NR 115 and 116, as well as Wisconsin13
State Statute 59.692.14
You have our application and attachments15
and appeals in your packets. I will just summarize16
briefly the variances we requested.17
The first was for a substitution of use18
as allowed by Ozaukee County Code of Ordinances,19
Section 7.1204 D. The board of adjustment has the20
power to permit this substitution following a21
public hearing.22
The historic building has not been used23
as a button factory since around 1908. The24
building is zoned urban industrial. Mr. Sheridan25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
60
is not seeking an industrial use, but seeking to1
use it as a commercial building. This is a lesser2
use than an industrial use, and generally3
commercial uses do not require permits in4
industrial districts. A substitution may or may5
not be required. The building has been vacant for6
decades, but nonuse is not defined as needing a7
substitute use. A use other than what it was used8
160 years ago is required. It is no longer9
feasible to hunt for mussels in the Milwaukee10
River. There's no longer a market for pearl11
buttons because zippers and plastic buttons have12
replaced pearl buttons. But whether a use is a13
substitute is debatable.14
Ozaukee County Code of Ordinances Section15
7.0305 is called boathouses. The code allows for16
boathouses. The building would be in compliance17
with Ozaukee Ordinance 7.0305 A, which says, quote,18
boathouses shall be designed solely for the storage19
of boats and related equipment and shall not be20
used for human habitation, end quote. This21
building would be used for the storage of boats and22
not for human habitation.23
The second variance Mr. Sheridan applied24
for was one of Section 7.0305 E, which provides25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
Page 21 of 67
Page 61 to 64 of 104 16 of 41 sheets
61
that, quote, the construction or placing of a1
boathouse waterward beyond the ordinary high water2
mark of any navigable water is prohibited, end3
quote. However, it is debatable whether we should4
be required to apply for one or whether we should5
be required to apply or the county should grant us6
one because Ozaukee Ordinance 7.090.1.C requires7
the county to allow us to repurpose the building.8
7.090.1.C says, quote, maintenance,9
repair, replacement, or vertical expansion of10
nonconforming structures for an existing structure11
that was lawfully placed when constructed, that12
does not comply with the required shoreland13
setback, may be maintained, repaired, replaced,14
restored, rebuilt, or remodeled if the activity15
does not expand the footprint of the nonconforming16
structure, end quote.17
We will not be expanding the footprint of18
the nonconforming structure. The Button Factory19
was constructed decades before the ordinances were20
adopted and it is a nonconforming structure that21
the county may not prohibit Mr. Sheridan from22
repurposing.23
The Wisconsin State Statutes 7 -- Section24
59.692 prohibits the county from denying this use.25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
62
Under Section, State Statute Section1
59.692(1k)(a)2a, a county may not prohibit repair2
or remodeling if the repair or remodeling does not3
expand the footprint of the structure, which we4
will not be doing.5
If we are required to apply for it, the6
board should grant it because the building was7
built in the place, in this location long before8
the ordinances were drafted.9
The third variance we applied for is a10
variance of the square foot maximum. The ordinance11
allows for 400 square feet building, but this12
building was built over 100 years ago at 648 square13
feet. We seek a variance of subsection, Ozaukee14
Code Section 7.0305 C to allow the existing15
building to stand as it was originally built to be16
648 square feet. Again, we are not trying to17
expand the footprint of the building. But to18
comply and make it 400 square feet, Mr. Sheridan19
would have to destroy some walls of the historic20
building, which would not serve the public21
interest.22
The fourth is a variance from the setback23
requirement of 10 feet from the ordinary high water24
mark. Section 7.0305 D of the Ozaukee code says25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
63
that, quote, boathouses shall be setback a minimum1
of 10 feet from the ordinary high water mark, end2
quote.3
Mr. Sheridan sought a variance because4
the building was not built in compliance with a5
later institute code. And Section, Ozaukee Code6
Section 7.0901 allows for variances for7
nonconforming structures.8
Again, the DNR is not requiring a permit9
for this building to be used as a boathouse.10
However, we should not be required to apply for11
this variance because under Wisconsin State Statute12
59.692(1k)(a)2a, the county may not prohibit the13
repair or remodeling if it doesn't expand the14
footprint.15
Furthermore, Ozaukee Ordinances, Ozaukee16
Ordinance Section 7.036 B states, quote, exempt17
structures per Chapter NR 115.05(1)(b)1m: All of18
the following structures are exempt from the19
shoreland setback standards, 7.036 A.1, boathouses20
are exempt from the 75-foot setback requirement21
under Chapter NR 115.053(b)(3) Wisconsin22
Administrative Code. The shoreland permit is23
required for such structures. The zoning permit24
application shall include a copy of any required25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
64
DNR permit, end quote. Boathouses are exempt and1
the DNR said we do not need a permit.2
The fifth variance we applied for is a3
variance from the height requirement. The4
ordinance allows buildings up to 35 feet, and the5
existing building is 36 feet.6
Furthermore, we need to raise it to7
comply with the foundation requirements. It will8
end up three feet above the 35-foot allowable9
level. This will not be increasing the height of10
any of the walls. It will be moving the entire11
building up. It won't create a visual monstrosity12
to raise it in order to install an improved13
foundation.14
The, visually the raising should have no15
impact on the scenic aspect of the area. As we16
have shown in our application attachments, exhibits17
and the addendum, we should receive the variances18
requested.19
And I'll turn to the shoreland permit20
briefly. We applied for one because we were told21
to and we were denied one because we do not have22
the variances.23
We believe we would receive the shoreland24
permit if we had the variances. However, as Barry25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
Page 22 of 67
17 of 41 sheets Page 65 to 68 of 104 10441
65
read earlier, it is possible we should not be1
required to apply for a shoreland permit because we2
are not undertaking the actions that we listed in3
the addendum that are required for shoreland4
permits.5
We believe we are in full compliance with6
State Administrative Code NR 115 and NR 116, as7
we've stated on pages 5, 6 and 7 to attachment to8
the appeal to the Board of Adjustment. A boathouse9
is a permitted use as described in NR 116.12. It10
is not designed for human habitation, and it is11
functionally dependent on a waterfront location.12
I would like to emphasize today that13
variances are in the public interest. Having The14
Button Factory serve as a boathouse is for the15
public good. It will cause unnecessary hardship to16
Mr. Sheridan to deny the application. He will have17
no reasonable use of his property. The hardship is18
due to special conditions unique to the property.19
These special conditions are that the historic20
building was built right on the waterway. The21
height and area of the existing structure are the22
same as when it was built in 1863. He has no23
feasible, feasible or reasonable use of the24
property without the variances. It is impractical25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
66
to move the entire building back, or to lower the1
height of the existing walls, or shorten the width2
of the building to comply with the ordinances that3
were enacted many decades after the building was4
constructed.5
Compliance with the strict letter of the6
code concerning area setbacks and height would7
unreasonably prevent Mr. Sheridan from using the8
property for a permitted purpose and would be9
unduly burdensome to comply with.10
This hardship is due to conditions unique11
to this property, not common to a group of adjacent12
lots or premises. The Button Factory was built13
right on the water and the neighboring buildings14
were not built in this particular matter. The15
special conditions were not created by Mr.16
Sheridan, but they make conformity to the17
restrictions unreasonable in light of the purpose18
of the ordinances.19
The building needs very few variances to20
comply with the boathouse regulations. Boathouses21
are permitted under the Ozaukee ordinances.22
Furthermore, it will serve the public23
interest to allow the use of the building as a24
boathouse. Boathouses provide necessary outlets25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
67
for people to pursue outdoor activities and1
boathouses promote public health.2
The boathouse is only possible in this3
unique situation where a building is in the4
waterway. There is no public access to the5
Milwaukee River in Waubeka and this use would allow6
such access for canoers and kayakers. This7
building, the use of the building as a boathouse8
would not change the character of the neighboring9
properties.10
And variances are consistent with the11
purpose of the zoning ordinances, which is to12
promote, which is to, quote, promote the public13
health, safety, convenience and general welfare,14
end quote. That's Ozaukee Code Section 7.0104.15
The boathouse will be open to the public. It will16
create access to the public for boating where no17
public access now exists. It will promote public18
welfare and convenience to have a public boathouse19
in this location.20
The boathouse will also be used for21
rafting access. The boaters can be taken upstream22
and float down in rafts to the boathouse. There is23
no practical alternative to locate the structure24
outside of the floodplain.25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
68
In summary, the requested variances will1
allow Mr. Sheridan to repurpose a building with2
historical significance into a useful boathouse3
that will serve the purposes of preserving the4
building while allowing it to be used more than5
160 years after it was built.6
Thank you all for your time.7
MS. GORDEN: Could we, Chairman, have an8
opportunity to respond in rebuttal?9
CHAIR STEINKE: Yes, you do.10
MR. BAYER: Mr. Chairman, before we do11
that, could I just make a clarification for the12
record?13
CHAIR STEINKE: Yes.14
MR. BAYER: Thank you. Counsel, I was15
just taking notes and I want to make sure that the16
body knows how many votes they have to take on how17
many issues.18
I heard argument for requests for a19
substitution under 7.1204. I heard requests for20
variances relating to the square foot maximum21
setback and height requirements. And then an22
argument that the code was misinterpreted because23
the shoreland permit was not otherwise required.24
But when you were going through your25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
Page 23 of 67
Page 69 to 72 of 104 18 of 41 sheets
69
variance requests, I thought I heard numbers 4 and1
5, and I'm wondering if I somehow might have missed2
one, or misconstrued an argument relating to3
substitution that may have been a variance request.4
MS. HENRY: The first variance is5
substitution of use.6
MR. BAYER: Oh, okay. I see what you're7
saying.8
MS. HENRY: The second one is 7.0305 B9
for beyond the ordinary high water mark. And the10
third one is variance of the square foot maximum.11
The, that's 7.305 C. The fourth one is variance12
from the setback requirement. 7.0305 D. And the13
fifth is variance from height. The 35-foot one.14
MR. BAYER: Okay. And then the last15
argument was that there was no requirement for a16
shoreland permit; is that right?17
MS. HENRY: However, we have, I would18
argue it should be granted if the variances are19
granted.20
MR. BAYER: Got it.21
MS. HENRY: Because I did argue it should22
be granted besides that.23
MR. BAYER: I apologize. I just wanted24
to make sure I had that correct --25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
70
MS. HENRY: Yeah.1
MR. BAYER: -- for the record because I2
want the body to know, and my recommendation would3
be to hear the county's response to that and then4
make, take a, have discussion and take a vote on5
each of those issues separately, so that they're6
not lumped together.7
MS. HENRY: Yeah. The shoreland permit,8
if we're required to, then we believe it should be9
granted.10
MR. BAYER: Okay. Thank you.11
MS. HENRY: We would be required to apply12
for.13
MR. BAYER: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.14
CHAIR STEINKE: Did you have a, a time15
for a rebuttal?16
MR. SULLIVAN: Yes. Why don't you go17
first?18
MS. GORDEN: All right. Just to respond19
to a few things. First of all, with respect -- and20
a lot of this is addressed in the staff report that21
was read into the record earlier, Exhibit 1, but as22
to the substitution of use, I mean there's some23
talk of this property being zoned for industrial24
uses and they're asking for a lesser use to be25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
71
commercial instead of industrial. But you have to1
remember the different layers of regulations that2
are going on here. It's a town regulation of how3
they're zoning this property for industrial use,4
and while somebody might approach the town and say,5
well, I want to use this property for a commercial6
use instead, there is still shoreland restrictions7
in the floodway that doesn't allow you to8
necessarily have your commercial structure use in9
the floodway.10
So it's the County's position here as a11
matter of shoreland zoning that you can't have this12
commercial structure, or this commercial boathouse13
in the floodway. While you may otherwise be able14
to use this property for commercial uses, if you15
can somehow make use of it outside the floodway,16
that's not what's being requested here. They're17
asking to do this use within the floodway.18
With respect to the dimensional19
variances, the board can only grant them if it's to20
enable an otherwise permissible use of this21
property. We have a discontinued use of a22
nonconforming structure in the floodway. Once23
discontinued, the use in the future must conform to24
the ordinance.25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
72
Again, this commercial structure is not1
allowed in the floodway. So it's not a permitted2
purpose, so the board cannot grant the variance3
because it doesn't enable what would otherwise be a4
permittable purpose.5
There was some talk about 7.0901, that6
the county, quote, basically that the county can't7
prohibit remodeling, maintaining, that sort of8
thing of this structure. Well, that's a9
grandfathering provision when we pass this10
ordinance based on new state law. Yeah, we can't11
suddenly say to all the property owners you can't,12
you know, maintain your, your nonconforming13
structures now that we have this new law, but again14
we come back to this discontinuation provision.15
The use has been discontinued. The idea being even16
though grandfathering is allowed, eventually over17
time, you know, properties conform to the ordinance18
through discontinued uses and that sort of thing,19
which couldn't be clearer here because there was a20
sheriff's auction, a discontinued use of this21
property, purchased by an individual, who maybe had22
future ideas of what to use the property for, but23
in the future would be subject to these shoreland24
zoning restrictions because the use of the property25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
Page 24 of 67
19 of 41 sheets Page 73 to 76 of 104 10441
73
as a commercial entity had been discontinued.1
So as stated earlier, there may be a use,2
you know, a reasonable use of the property to3
restore it as a button factory because it is a4
historical property, but that's the County's5
position, the only real use he can make of it in6
terms of any sort of, you know, public venture7
whatsoever.8
Then there was talk at the end, a lot of9
talk about the public purpose here, you know, being10
protected of allowing access to the river,11
recreation, you know, that sort of thing. And we12
went through in the staff report quoting from the13
ordinance basically what the public interest14
actually is with respect to the shoreland zoning,15
and I'd like to add to that, when you look at NR16
116, which our ordinance's patterned after, they17
too provide a list of purposes, which are similar,18
but slightly different than the ones quoted in our19
ordinance. These are to protect life, health and20
property. Minimize expenditures of public monies21
for costly flood projects. Minimize rescue and22
relief efforts. Generally undertaking at the23
expense of the general public. Minimize business24
interruption. Minimize damage to public25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
74
facilities, such as water mains, sewers lines,1
streets and bridges. Minimize the occurrence of2
future flood blight areas. Discourage the3
victimization of unweary land and home buyers.4
Prevent increases in the regional flood from5
occurring, which will increase flood damage and may6
result in conflict and litigation between land7
owners. None of these purposes talk about8
recreational use.9
So when the board is making its decision,10
they have to focus on the purposes of the11
ordinance, and that's to protect against pollution,12
you know, to protect the public health, to, you13
know, protect against flood damage, all these14
various things. Nowhere in which is mentioned the15
purpose of promoting the public welfare and even16
recreational uses of the property.17
There was some talk about the setback,18
that, you know, boathouses are exempt from the19
75-foot setback. The land and water department has20
never disagreed with that. The setback requirement21
is 10 feet from the ordinary high water mark and22
that is not met here.23
CHAIR STEINKE: Barry, did you have24
anything else to add?25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
75
MR. SULLIVAN: Yes. And this will answer1
a previous question before Attorney Henry gave her2
report. This is an email that I, when Mr. Sheridan3
first submitted or started talking to me about4
commercial boathouses, I had several questions5
dealing with regarding commercial boathouses in the6
floodplain. I had sent a list of questions to the7
DNR, Dale Rezabek, copied Andrea Stern, on8
June 30th, 2022. They responded back to me on9
July 19th, 2022. Actually, it was Andrea Stern who10
responded back. She, quote, says Hi, Barry, we11
were able to meet to discuss your questions below.12
I hope this email helps to clarify things. One, my13
question, does a commercial boathouse qualify as an14
accessory structure associated with a permitted15
open space or functionally dependent on a16
waterfront location or historic structure? Section17
7.0808 D 1 of the Ozaukee County Shoreland and18
Floodplain Zoning Ordinance.19
Her response, boathouses have been viewed20
as an accessory structure associated with permitted21
open space or function independent on a waterfront22
location. However, new commercial uses are only23
permittable in the floodfringe district, but not in24
a floodway district.25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
76
Bulletin 2 under that question, as long1
as the building remains as a historic structure as2
defined by the Wisconsin Historical Society it3
would be considered a historic structure.4
Question 2: Does a commercial boathouse5
need to be placed on fill pad that is one foot6
above the regional floodplain? This is a floodway7
area. Section 7.0809 D 4 of the Ozaukee County8
Shoreland and Floodplain Ordinance. Response:9
Accessory structures are allowed to be placed at10
the base flood elevation with mechanical and11
utility equipment being elevated to or above the12
flood protection elevation. But commercial13
properties must be placed on fill two feet above14
the flood protection elevation. Commercial uses15
are permittable in the floodfringe, but not in the16
floodway. This would be considered a new17
commercial use and would not be allowable in the18
floodway.19
Question 3: Does a bathroom in a20
commercial boathouse make it human habitation?21
Section 7.0304 A and 7.08080 D. One, paren A, of22
the Ozaukee County Shoreland and Floodplain Zoning23
Ordinance. Response: No new sewer or water lines24
would be allowed in the floodway for wet25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
Page 25 of 67
Page 77 to 80 of 104 20 of 41 sheets
77
boathouses.1
Question 4: The existing well on the2
property is in the floodway area of the floodplain.3
There is no connection to the building. Per4
Section 7.0808 D 8 of the Ozaukee County Shoreland5
and Floodplain Zoning Ordinance states public or6
private wells associated with recreational uses,7
associated with recreational uses, provided the8
wells meet the requirements of the county9
ordinances and Chapter NR 811 and NR 812, Wisconsin10
Administrative Code.11
Section 7.0808 E 4 has prohibited uses.12
Public or private wells used to obtain water for13
human consumption, other than those listed in14
Section 7.0808 C. Furthermore, Section 7.0902 C315
states no new well or modification to an existing16
well used to obtain potable water shall be allowed17
in the floodway area. Any replacement, repair, or18
maintenance on the existing well in the floodway19
area shall meet applicable requirements of this20
ordinance, county and private sewage system21
ordinance, and Chapters NR 811 and 812 of the22
Wisconsin Administrative Code. Can we allow a23
variance to be heard on this section, or does it24
need to go to the DNR well permitting section for25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
78
approval of its use? Response: No. New wells are1
not allowed in a floodway. Second response on that2
question. They could still apply for a variance3
through the county ordinance.4
It further states, regarding all my5
questions, each variance should be looked at6
case-by-case and the applicant has the burden of7
proving their application meets all statutory8
requirements for granting variances. Federal Code9
44 CFR 60.6 Wisconsin State Statutes, 62.23(7)(e),10
Wisconsin Administrative Code NR 116.21(4) and your11
county ordinance outlines specific variance12
criteria for granting floodplain variances.13
The board must, the board must address14
all standards when making a decision. If the15
answer is no to any of them, the variance should16
not be granted.17
There is a possibility that a commercial,18
I'm sorry, there is a possibility that if the19
community is not applying the standards for a20
variance correctly and a review indicates a pattern21
inconsistent with the objectives --22
THE REPORTER: You got to just slow down.23
MR. SULLIVAN: Okay. Sorry. I'll just24
repeat that. There is a possibility that if the25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
79
community is not applying the standards for1
variances correctly and a review indicates a2
pattern inconsistent with the objectives of sound3
floodplain management, FEMA could take appropriate4
action. Please see the attached variance decision5
forms which have been developed to assist6
communities. These are not required to be filled7
out, but are being provided as a tool for use as8
needed. Andrea.9
MS. GORDEN: We're going to mark that as10
Exhibit 8 then since we read from it.11
MR. BAYER: And just for the record, do12
you want to reference who it is from and to and13
what it is?14
MR. SULLIVAN: Yes. It is from Andrea15
Stern, DNR. She is the DNR engineer and she16
oversees our county along with several other17
counties when we got questions dealing with18
floodplain issues.19
MR. BAYER: And the date?20
MR. SULLIVAN: The date was July, the21
response I just read from here is dated July 19th,22
2022, email.23
MS. GORDEN: So if we could just have a24
moment to mark that.25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
80
MR. BAYER: And I think if we, we can1
also run a copy before we leave potentially too --2
MR. SULLIVAN: Yes.3
MR. BAYER: -- because I don't know if4
they have that or not.5
MR. SULLIVAN: No, they do not.6
(Exhibit No. 8 marked.)7
MS. GORDEN: And we'd move admission of8
Exhibits 1 to 6 and 8 for the record. Any9
objections to that?10
MS. HENRY: No objections.11
MS. GORDEN: Want to move Exhibit 7?12
MS. HENRY: We move for Exhibit 7 into13
the record. And could Mr. Sheridan address briefly14
the potable water issue that just came up, which15
was not part of our application at all?16
MS. GORDEN: We could, but I don't think17
it's relevant to what the board's doing.18
CHAIR STEINKE: I don't think at this19
point it makes any difference.20
MS. HENRY: Okay.21
CHAIR STEINKE: Because it was not part22
of the application. Are we ready then?23
Everything's marked?24
MS. GORDEN: Yes.25

CHAIR STEINKE: Okay. We will take these1
one by one, per counsel's suggestion. Which item2
would we like to address first I guess?3
MS. TOMTER: Can I ask a question?4
CHAIR STEINKE: Yes. Let's have general5
questions first. Ask here if we have some general6
questions.7
MS. TOMTER: I have a general question.8
This goes back to a couple hours in the beginning,9
when Barry says the only reasonable use that we10
could grant a variance would be if they created a11
button factory; correct?12
MR. SULLIVAN: Oh, sorry.13
MS. TOMTER: They could do a button14
factory if they wanted to; right?15
MR. SULLIVAN: Under the historic status,16
if he restores it back to its original use, which17
was a button factory, he would be permitted to do18
so. 19
MS. TOMTER: Okay. Would that mean that20
if he, would it have to be a manufacturing button21
factory, or could it be a, you know, like a mockup22
button factory that could be used as a tourist23
stop?24
MR. SULLIVAN: I believe that would be25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
82
correct. I would have to consult with the DNR1
people on that, Andrea Stern, the DNR floodplain2
engineer and Dale Rezabek, who's our shoreland3
zoning coordinator for our county at the DNR level,4
but I believe that question is correct.5
MS. TOMTER: The question was would it6
have to be manufacturing, or could it be a replica,7
like a museum thing?8
MR. SULLIVAN: I believe it could be a9
museum setup.10
MS. TOMTER: Okay.11
MR. SULLIVAN: But I would have to confer12
with the DNR people on that to get the correct13
answers.14
MS. TOMTER: Thank you.15
CHAIR STEINKE: Other questions or16
comments before we move on? In general.17
MR. HUBING: If I understood right, so if18
we reject any one of these variances, that would --19
MR. SULLIVAN: Correct.20
MR. HUBING: Okay. And maybe if we could21
list them real quickly. I mean simply without22
numbers. Just one, two, three, four, what are23
they? There's how many variances and the shoreland24
permit; correct?25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
83
MS. GORDEN: I believe they're in the1
staff report. Attorney Henry can disagree if she2
wishes, but they're in the staff report.3
MR. HUBING: I see that, but where?4
MS. GORDEN: On page 1.5
MR. HUBING: Yeah, I know.6
MS. GORDEN: Substitution of use.7
MR. HUBING: Number B?8
MS. GORDEN: Yeah.9
MR. HUBING: Okay. So there's 1, 2, 3,10
4.11
MS. HENRY: A and B.12
MR. HUBING: A and B.13
MS. HENRY: Yeah. Yes.14
MR. HUBING: Okay. So there's five15
total.16
MR. SULLIVAN: But please keep in mind17
the BOA has to make sure you follow the sequence of18
determining whether a variance can be approved or19
not for each one. Under page 3 of the staff report20
it says, is listed under requests for dimensional21
variances and under that it has on there, it says22
literal enforcement of --23
(Discussion off the record.)24
MR. SULLIVAN: Under the request for25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
84
dimensional variances, and this is on page 3 of the1
staff report, one, the literal enforcement of the2
provision of this ordinance will result in3
unnecessary hardship to the applicant. The board4
has to determine whether that's yes or no.5
Two, hardship is due to unique property6
conditions not common to nearby lots or property.7
Board has to answer that yes or no.8
The variance is not contrary to the9
public interest. The board has to answer yes or10
no. The variance is consistent with the purpose of11
this ordinance. Yes or no. If any one of those is12
a no answer, the variance fails.13
MR. HUBING: Okay.14
CHAIR STEINKE: And that's for each of15
the variances requested?16
MR. SULLIVAN: Correct. So you have to17
do each one separately.18
CHAIR STEINKE: So now we're on page 1 of19
the staff report. And we have A, substitution; and20
D the other variances. Do we want to start with21
substitution? Nobody's objecting. We'll start22
with that.23
MR. HUBING: Sure. Go ahead.24
CHAIR STEINKE: All right. Under the25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
Page 27 of 67
Page 85 to 88 of 104 22 of 41 sheets
85
code, I would like corporate, or corporate or1
counsel to just briefly go over again what, what2
substitution means for the board and what our3
options are.4
MS. GORDEN: All right. Well, basically5
they're requesting to substitute a commercial use6
for an industrial one, and we talked about the7
problems with that in terms of the ordinance in the8
staff report on page No. 2, the request for9
substitution of use variance under 7.1204, and the10
problem is the discontinued issue. They have11
discontinued both their commercial use of the12
structure out there and the use of the structure13
itself for far more than just 12 months. And14
there's no denial of that, of the discontinuance.15
Mr. Sheridan agrees that these things have all been16
discontinued.17
So if there's a discontinued use of a18
nonconforming structure, when that occurs, any19
future use of that property that, any future use of20
that structure must conform to the ordinance.21
The ordinance prohibits the, the Board of22
Adjustment from allowing a use variance. They23
cannot allow a use variance to enable a use of the24
property that is prohibited by the ordinance, and25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
86
when you walk through the ordinance, this1
commercial structure in the floodway is not a2
permissible use of that property.3
Furthermore, when you look at Wisconsin4
Administrative Code, I mean it's the same thing.5
Using a commercial structure, putting a commercial6
structure in the floodway is prohibited. You could7
have that same structure in the floodfringe, but8
not the floodway, and he's proposing that it be in9
the floodway.10
So, there's also, you know, he's asking11
to substitute a use. Sort of implying to the board12
that he currently has a valid use. But again, that13
use has been discontinued. He has nothing to14
substitute for. He has no current use that's15
permissible in that floodway that he wants, you16
know, in terms of commercial use, or industrial17
use, or anything at all. He has no current18
permissible use to make a substitution for.19
CHAIR STEINKE: So we have nothing to20
substitute for at this point is what the, is what21
it really amounts to.22
MS. GORDEN: Correct. Correct.23
CHAIR STEINKE: So since there is no use,24
we can't substitute for it.25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
87
MS. GORDEN: Yes. I know it's a little1
contradictory to say he could restore this to a2
button factory. Again, you have to remember that3
that's solely related to his historical status.4
CHAIR STEINKE: Historical status. Any5
discussion? Does everybody understand? Let me6
start with that.7
MS. TOMTER: No.8
CHAIR STEINKE: No?9
MS. TOMTER: Yes and no. It's like we10
can't make it happen, you know.11
CHAIR STEINKE: Let's put it in the terms12
like I've got, that I can understand it. We can13
substitute, if he's using something now, we can14
substitute for it. If it's not being used for the15
last 12 months, there's nothing to substitute for16
it.17
MS. TOMTER: Right. So how can we vote18
on that?19
CHAIR STEINKE: Well, we have to deny it20
is what we have to do. Yeah, we can't substitute21
for it. It's hard to make a motion for something22
we can't do.23
MS. TOMTER: Okay.24
CHAIR STEINKE: But I believe that we25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
88
should have a motion on it and vote on it either1
way. Just so that it's in the record.2
MR. WINKER: Mr. Chair.3
CHAIR STEINKE: Yes.4
MR. WINKER: Just one point of5
clarification. I've been on the county board 156
years and I think this is a correct statement. If7
the ordinance doesn't allow it --8
CHAIR STEINKE: We can't.9
MR. WINKER: -- we can't vote.10
CHAIR STEINKE: We can't vote either.11
MR. WINKER: To override it. I mean12
really.13
CHAIR STEINKE: Yes.14
MR. WINKER: It's clearly stated this is15
what's allowed.16
CHAIR STEINKE: Yep. Let me ask the17
counsel again. Do we have to vote on it? If we18
can't even vote on it, there's nothing to19
substitute.20
MR. BAYER: Sure. I guess let me read21
the first sentence of 7.1204 of the Ozaukee County22
Code. Substitutions. The Board of Adjustment23
shall hear and decide applications for24
substitutions of less nonconforming uses for25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
Page 28 of 67
23 of 41 sheets Page 89 to 92 of 104 10441
89
existing performing uses following a public hearing1
held in accordance with 7.1207.2
So you do have, you have an application3
for a substitution in front of you, and if you, if4
you feel that you're not allowed to grant it5
because there is no existing use, I think that you6
have the ability to entertain a motion to deny the7
application based upon the language of the8
ordinance. And that would at least create a, if9
you're so inclined, and that would create a record10
upon which if there's any appeal from this matter11
to circuit court for a certiorari review, there12
would be a record upon which the court could13
address that.14
So I think if, if that's the way you15
interpret the code, you could make, you can16
entertain a motion to deny the application for17
substitution based upon the language.18
CHAIR STEINKE: I think that that would19
make sense to instead of yay or nay, deny the20
application and we'll vote on the denial or21
acceptance of the application. If we can get a22
motion to that effect.23
Anybody want to make a motion to that?24
Or is there any other questions first?25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
90
MR. HUBING: Say that again.1
CHAIR STEINKE: We're going to, they made2
a request and we're going to deny it. We're going3
to vote on denying the request for substitution.4
MR. HUBING: Okay.5
CHAIR STEINKE: So we'll need a motion to6
deny the request and then we'll vote on that7
because we can't substitute for something that8
doesn't exist, so we have to deny their9
application.10
MR. HUBING: Okay. I'll so move and make11
that motion.12
CHAIR STEINKE: Is there a second on the13
motion?14
MR. KOEPPEN: I'll second it.15
CHAIR STEINKE: Is there any further16
discussion on the motion? Hearing none, I'll call17
the question. All in favor say aye.18
(All responded aye.)19
CHAIR STEINKE: Opposed?20
(No response.)21
MR. STEINKE: Motion carried.22
No. 2, improving the structure beyond the23
ordinary high water mark, and this would be a, not24
the 75 feet, but this refers to the 10 feet from25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
91
the high water mark to have the structure out of1
it. Is that correct, Barry?2
MR. SULLIVAN: Correct.3
CHAIR STEINKE: Okay. So code requires4
that his structure be 10 feet out of the high water5
mark and it's not. It runs through the building as6
per his presentation. So, therefore, we would have7
to grant him a variance to do any work on that8
building that it could be in the floodway and not9
meet this. Is there any questions on this?10
MR. HUBING: If we denied this, is there11
anything he can do to fix that that we could accept12
in the future?13
CHAIR STEINKE: According to the historic14
status he could make it into at button factory,15
working or not.16
MR. HUBING: That's it?17
CHAIR STEINKE: Yes. Any other18
questions?19
MS. TOMTER: You still have to change the20
distance from the high water mark to make that21
happen, a button factory?22
CHAIR STEINKE: Yeah. We are taking23
these one at a time. Plus there's some other24
variances he would need to -- not for The Button25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
92
Factory.1
MS. TOMTER: No, but I'm thinking if he2
would do anything with the building --3
CHAIR STEINKE: Besides The Button4
Factory.5
MS. TOMTER: -- these have to be met, one6
way or the other?7
CHAIR STEINKE: Yeah.8
MS. TOMTER: The Button Factory or no.9
CHAIR STEINKE: No. Barry, if he does a10
button factory, then the 10 foot does not apply?11
MR. SULLIVAN: Correct. Under the12
historic status, correct.13
MS. TOMTER: Okay.14
CHAIR STEINKE: So the historic status,15
if he turns that back into a button factory, if I16
understand correctly, does he have to meet these17
criteria? The answer is no.18
MS. TOMTER: Okay.19
CHAIR STEINKE: He can go back, he would20
have to get a permit to do the work.21
MR. SULLIVAN: Correct.22
CHAIR STEINKE: But he would not have to23
meet that.24
MS. TOMTER: Okay.25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
Page 29 of 67
Page 93 to 96 of 104 24 of 41 sheets
93
CHAIR STEINKE: Does that make sense to1
you now?2
MS. TOMTER: Sort of, yes. I understand3
what you're saying.4
CHAIR STEINKE: All right. Thank you.5
Anybody want to make a motion as to whether we6
grant a variance for the 10 foot, to eliminate the7
need for the 10 foot high water setback?8
MS. TOMTER: I would grant the variance9
looking at the, looking at the four criteria, as to10
how we make the decisions, literal enforcement of11
the provisions of this ordinance will result in12
unnecessary hardship. Is that --13
MR. HUBING: So could I ask, or is it too14
late for comments?15
CHAIR STEINKE: No, no.16
MR. HUBING: Based on what you just said17
then, the fact that it's a button factory, or18
something else, should that make our determination19
if we should accept or deny it?20
CHAIR STEINKE: Yes, I guess what a lot21
of it comes down to is you can't have a commercial22
use. The only commercial use he can put in23
there --24
MR. HUBING: The button.25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
94
MR. STEINKE: -- is The Button Factory.1
So, whether or not these are approved or not, we2
already said no to substitution. I don't know3
where we're going to go from there actually, or4
where he's going to go from there.5
MR. HUBING: Okay.6
CHAIR STEINKE: But a commercial use, and7
I don't see that as listed here as one of the8
variances. He's not asking for a variance to that,9
that you can have a commercial use in the10
floodplain, floodway. So, does the rest, is it11
moot?12
MS. GORDEN: He asked for it as a13
substitution.14
CHAIR STEINKE: Okay. So we addressed15
that in the substitution? Correct?16
MS. GORDEN: Yes, you did. These are now17
area variances, specifically to dimensional issues.18
And I just remind the board that if they're being19
granted to enable a purpose that's not permitted --20
CHAIR STEINKE: Then it really makes no21
sense.22
MS. GORDEN: -- that's not allowed.23
That's not allowed.24
CHAIR STEINKE: It's not allowed.25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
95
MS. TOMTER: I'll take that back.1
CHAIR STEINKE: We already said no to the2
purpose.3
MS. TOMTER: I'll take that back.4
CHAIR STEINKE: So since he can't do, I5
guess we're coming back to since he can't have it,6
the rest of these are kind of moot. Would you like7
us to vote on them anyhow?8
MR. BAYER: I would. I mean if you feel9
they're moot for that reason, then that would be a10
ground, if you see fit, to deny the, the request.11
I would still, just for the record, I would take a12
vote on each of them.13
CHAIR STEINKE: Each of them?14
MR. BAYER: Yeah.15
CHAIR STEINKE: We can vote on them16
individually, or we can vote on them all together?17
Let's do it individually.18
The 10 foot. Let's take it just as it's19
written. Improving structure that's beyond the20
ordinary high water mark. So that's the 10 foot21
setback. Do I have a motion to deny that request?22
That variance?23
He can't have it anyhow. He can't have24
the building, so if we, there's no sense in25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
96
approving these is what it amounts to. You can't.1
MR. WINKER: So moved.2
CHAIR STEINKE: There's a motion. Is3
there a second? Second?4
MR. KOEPPEN: I'll second it. Bill5
Koeppen.6
CHAIR STEINKE: Moved and second. Any7
other discussion? None appearing, all in favor say8
aye.9
(All responded aye.)10
CHAIR STEINKE: Opposed?11
(No response.)12
CHAIR STEINKE: Motion carried. A motion13
to deny, exceed square footage requirement? Is14
there a motion for that?15
MR. KOEPPEN: Well, he was not going to16
make it larger; right?17
CHAIR STEINKE: No. But he can't have18
the building, he can't do what he wants to anyhow,19
so it doesn't make any, all these are moot at this20
point because we rejected the substitution.21
MR. KOEPPEN: Okay. I'll make a motion22
that we deny the square footage.23
CHAIR STEINKE: Is there a second to the24
motion?25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
Page 30 of 67

MR. HUBING: I'll second.1
CHAIR STEINKE: It's been moved and2
seconded. Any more discussion? None appearing,3
all in favor say aye?4
(All responded aye.)5
CHAIR STEINKE: Opposed?6
(No response.)7
CHAIR STEINKE: Motion carried. No. 3,8
setback from the ordinary high water mark. Is9
there a motion to deny?10
MR. HUBING: I make a motion, deny it.11
CHAIR STEINKE: Is there a second?12
MR. WINKER: I'll second it.13
CHAIR STEINKE: It's been moved and14
second. Any discussion? None appearing, I call15
the question. All in favor so aye.16
(All responded aye. )17
CHAIR STEINKE: Opposed?18
(No response.)19
CHAIR STEINKE: Motion carried. No. 4.20
Height, the structure height limit. Is there a21
motion to deny?22
MR. KOEPPEN: I so move.23
CHAIR STEINKE: It's been moved.24
MR. HUBING: Second.25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
98
CHAIR STEINKE: All in -- any more1
discussion? None appearing, all in favor say aye.2
(All responded aye.)3
CHAIR STEINKE: Opposed?4
(No response.)5
CHAIR STEINKE: Motion carried. I6
believe that takes care of our work with --7
MR. BAYER: Mr. Chairman --8
CHAIR STEINKE: Yes.9
MR. BAYER: -- I just would suggest maybe10
taking one more motion because I do think11
technically the applicant argued that there was a12
misinterpretation of the code --13
CHAIR STEINKE: Oh.14
MR. BAYER: -- by denying the shoreland15
permit, and so I think one more motion on whether16
to uphold the denial of the shoreland permit or not17
would be, would be warranted.18
CHAIR STEINKE: Okay. So what we're19
going to vote on, if we get a motion, is basically20
supporting the County's position on the denial of21
the permit. They denied the permit. Now we've22
denied the permit. But we're going to affirm their23
denial. So when we vote yes for the denial, it's24
that we're affirming; correct?25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
99
MR. BAYER: That would be correct.1
Motion to essentially uphold the denial of the2
shoreland permit.3
CHAIR STEINKE: Okay. So if I could have4
a motion to uphold the denial of the shoreland5
zoning permit from the County.6
MR. WINKER: Motion.7
CHAIR STEINKE: Is there a second?8
MR. KOEPPEN: I'll second it.9
CHAIR STEINKE: It's been moved and10
second. That we uphold the denial of the shoreland11
zoning permit from the county. Any discussion?12
None appearing, I'll call the question. All in13
favor say aye.14
(All responded aye.)15
CHAIR STEINKE: Opposed?16
(No response.)17
CHAIR STEINKE: Motion carried. Is there18
anything that we've forgotten on this issue?19
MR. BAYER: I don't believe so.20
CHAIR STEINKE: Okay. None appearing, we21
are going to go back to our regular agenda.22
MR. SULLIVAN: Off the record.23
(Discussion off the record.)24
CHAIR STEINKE: We just have a real short25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
100
agenda. Okay. We're on Item C on the agenda.1
Approval of March 10th meeting of 2021. The2
minutes.3
MR. SULLIVAN: Can I -- I mean it's in4
regards to the board of adjustment hearing of March5
10th, 2021, that was a variance request for 42366
High Point Beach Road, Port Washington, Wisconsin,7
for James Rhodes and Rory Palubiski, and a variance8
request for 7494 Devonshire Drive, Cedarburg,9
Wisconsin, for Matthew and Shelly Mabee, M A B E E,10
owners. So.11
CHAIR STEINKE: This was a garage and an12
addition?13
MR. SULLIVAN: Garage addition on the14
Mabee property. And I can't remember what the15
variance was. I have to look that one up.16
CHAIR STEINKE: We denied it; correct?17
MR. KOEPPEN: Yeah.18
CHAIR STEINKE: The Mabee.19
MR. SULLIVAN: The Mabee, yes. The High20
Point one --21
CHAIR STEINKE: That we have.22
MR. SULLIVAN: I think that one was23
approved.24
CHAIR STEINKE: Yeah, that's right.25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
Page 31 of 67
Page 101 to 104 of 104 26 of 41 sheets
101
MR. SULLIVAN: So it's just a matter of1
approving the court reporter's minutes.2
CHAIR STEINKE: Okay.3
MR. HUBING: I so move.4
CHAIR STEINKE: There's a motion to5
approve. Is there a second?6
MS. TOMTER: Second.7
CHAIR STEINKE: Second. No discussion --8
any discussion? None appearing, all in favor say9
aye.10
(All responded aye.)11
CHAIR STEINKE: Opposed?12
(No response.)13
CHAIR STEINKE: Member terms, expiration14
of our terms and continued service. Elect a new15
vice chair.16
MR. SULLIVAN: As you are aware, Steve17
Castner has resigned from the Board of Adjustment18
last year and he was the vice chair for the Board19
of Adjustment. So basically this is up to you if20
you want to elect someone now, or put that on,21
table that until the next time we would meet.22
Rick Fellenz has volunteered to be on the23
Board of Adjustment. He still has to fill out an24
application with the county clerk's office and be25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
102
approved by the county chairman. So.1
CHAIR STEINKE: So why don't we, if2
somebody would like to make a motion to table it3
until the next meeting.4
MR. HUBING: So moved.5
CHAIR STEINKE: It's been moved. Second.6
MS. TOMTER: Second.7
MR. WINKER: Point of order.8
CHAIR STEINKE: Yes.9
MR. WINKER: I just want to remain as an10
alternate.11
CHAIR STEINKE: Okay.12
MR. WINKER: I don't want to move up.13
MR. HUBING: Come on? This is a lot of14
fun.15
MR. WINKER: I've got a lot of stuff16
going on.17
CHAIR STEINKE: Thank you. And we'll18
keep that in mind.19
MR. WINKER: Yes.20
CHAIR STEINKE: But next meeting we will21
have a full slate with Rick on the board. If the22
paperwork's done by then. So, we have a vote on23
the motion to table. All in favor say aye.24
(All responded aye.)25
Betty K. Vande Boom, RPR 262-284-9868 414-531-6678
103
CHAIR STEINKE: Opposed?1
(No response.)2
CHAIR STEINKE: Motion carried.3
Communications and miscellaneous.4
MR. SULLIVAN: None.5
CHAIR STEINKE: Okay. Anything else by6
law?7
MR. SULLIVAN: I have nothing.8
CHAIR STEINKE: Motion to adjourn.9
MR. WINKER: Motion to adjourn.10
MR. HUBING: Second.11
CHAIR STEINKE: There's no discussion on12
that. All those in favor say aye.13

BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT (BOA) COMMITTEE HEARING

o Robert Hubing
o Joel Kasten Wednesday, October 14, 2026
o Marjie Tomter Administration Center - Auditorium
o Rick Fellenz (Alternate)
o Michael Haggenjos (Alternate)
o Thomas Winker (Alternate) STAFF REPORT
Request By:
Mikkelson Builders, agent, and Michael and Kira Elton, owners, for a variance to Section 19.07200 of the
Ozaukee County Shoreland Protection Ordinance for a reduced building setback to a n unnamed
navigable stream located on the southern portion of their parcel for the purpose of constructing a
new residence and driveway.
Affecting the Following Described Real Estate:
Town of Belgium, T12N-R23E, in parts of the NE 1/4 of the N E 1/4 of Section 36; Lots 5 and 6, Block 1 , of
Sandy Beach Subdivision; Tax Key #01-054-01-05-000; 5266 Sandy Beach South, Belgium WI, 53004.
Departmental Findings:
A. The subject property is a legally existing conforming lot and the project, as proposed, can only be
constructed upon the issuance of a variance by this Board.
B. Although there is floodplain associated with Lake Michigan, the floodplain elevation impacting this
property is negligible, and the proposed project will be located entirely outside of floodplain areas.
C. There are no mapped wetlands associated with this property. A wetland delineation has not been
requested by this department.
D. An unnamed tributary to Lake Michigan bisects the property. Navigability of this stream was
confirmed by Kathi Kramasz, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Water Management
Specialist, on January 5, 2012.
E. The structure serving the property was originally constructed in 1957. An attached garage project
was completed in 1997, which received variance approval by the Ozaukee County Board of
Adjustment for a reduced road setback. The structure is currently in compliance with the Ozaukee
County Shoreland Protection Ordinance.
Page 49 of 67
F. The applicant has not applied to the Town of Belgium for a variance to reduce the building setback
from the north property line. A thirty (30) foot setback is applicable to the construction of a two -
story home.
G. Upon redevelopment, a setback average of forty -two (42) feet will apply to Lake Michigan and,
unless reduced by variance approval, a setback of seventy-five (75) feet applies to the unnamed
tributary to Lake Michigan.
H. Between 2020 and 2022, the stream was relocated without applicable permits from this
department. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is working through the enforcement
process to recognize project compliance. Relocation of the stream, further to the south, has
increased the current buildable area available for redevelopment from ~1,400 square feet to
~4,200 square feet. The stream relocation increased the buildable front age along Lake Michigan
from twenty (20) feet to sixty (60) feet.
I. The property is currently in noncompliance with the Ozaukee County Shoreland Protection
Ordinance due to the stream relocation, associated grading, and installation of a gravel driveway
within thirty-two (32) feet of the unnamed tributary to Lake Michigan.
J. The minimum shoreland setback allowable by variance is thirty -five (35) feet. The applicant is
requesting a setback of forty-two (42) feet for the residence and fifty-seven (57) for the driveway.
The approval of a forty -two (42) foot setback for the reside nce increases the buildable area
available for redevelopment to ~6,700 square feet and the buildable frontage along Lake Michigan
to ninety-five (95) feet.
K. The proposed structure could be relocated to the north and still meet Town of Belgium setback
requirements. A shift in structural location would allow the structure, as proposed, with an
increased setback of forty-nine (49) feet to the navigable stream versus the requested forty-two
(42) foot setback. This shift would place the driveway, as proposed, sixty-four (64) feet from the
navigable stream versus the requested fifty-seven (57) foot setback.
L. The proposed structure could be redesigned to allow a compliant driveway location. Ample area
exists on the lot to place the proposed driveway seventy-five (75) feet from the navigable stream.
Departmental Statement:
This department holds no opinion regarding the issuance of a variance provided that the Board of
Adjustment can validate the variance test. Please see the attached handout, “Variances” Chapter 15
of the Zoning Board Handbook, 2 nd Edition 2006, of which a copy has been provided. To qualify for a
variance the applicant must demonstrate:
1) Unnecessary hardship;
2) Hardship due to unique property limitations; and
3) No harm to public interests.
Page 50 of 67
Should the Board decide to grant the variance request for a reduced building setback to an unnamed
navigable stream for the purpose of constructing a new residence and driveway, this department
requests the subsequent departmental recommendations.
Departmental Recommendations:
A. The applicant will remove and restore all unpermitted gravel driveway areas adjacent to the
navigable stream. Driveway removal shall precede any future shoreland permits as per Section
19.22105 of the Ozaukee County Shoreland Protection Ordinance.
B. The applicant shall obtain an after-the-fact shoreland permit from this department to recognize
the stream relocation and associated grading, with maximum penalties applied as per Section
19.22102(D)(03) of the Ozaukee County Shoreland Protection Ordinance.
C. Prior to the issuance of said permit, the applicant will provide this department with written
correspondence from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources indicating that the stream
relocation is now compliant with their enforcement action.
D. Erosion control plans shall be completed by a professional engineer or architect registered in the
state. The plans shall utilize erosion control measures, as described in the Wisconsin Construction
Site Best Management Practice Handbook, and shall be installed on the property prior to the start
of any construction and maintained until the area is completely re -vegetated. All plans shall be
reviewed and approved by the Land and Water Management Department.
E. Stormwater plans shall be completed by a professional engineer registered in the state. The plans
shall demonstrate that the proposed project will not impede natural drainage patterns and the
post-construction surface water runoff will not adversely impact neighbori ng properties. A post-
construction elevational survey, from a land surveyor registered in the state, is required to certify
that the preceding requirements have been met. All plans shall be reviewed and approved by the
Land and Water Management department.
F. A variance granted by the Board of Adjustment shall expire within one (1) year after issuance
unless substantial work has commenced pursuant to such grant. A one (1) -year extension of a
variance or permit may be granted by the zoning administrator prior to its expiration. The zoning
administrator or applicant may request that the Board of Adjustment review the request for
extension.
G. Upon completion of the project, the variance shall be recorded by the Zoning Administrator with
the Ozaukee County Register of Deeds, with the recording fee to be paid by the applicant.
H. All required state, federal, and local permits must be acquired before the start of the project.
I. Any significant changes and/or revisions to the proposed project must be resubmitted to the
Board of Adjustment for review and approval before implementation.
Page 51 of 67
Departmental Notice:
Both the Board and the applicant must be aware that if the variance is approved, an appeal period
extends thirty (30) days from the date of the filing of the decision of the Board. During that period, any
interested party can appeal the decision, either approved or denied, to the Circuit Court. No permit,
or authorization of work, will be issued by this department until the appeal period has expired.

Request for Variance
Property Owner: Mike and Kira Elton
Property Address: 5266 Sandy Beach South
Belgium, WI 53004
Owner Agent: Mikkelson Builders
Variance Requested: Current Ozaukee County Shoreland Protection Ordinance specifies
a 75’ setback from the OHWM. Mike and Kira Elton’s lot is bordered by Lake Michigan to the
East and a stream to the South which intersects the Elton’s property (Lot 6). Mike and Kira
Elton are seeking a variance for a 42’-6” setback from the stream to the South.
Reason for Variance Request: Mike and Kira Elton would like to raise the existing home
and build a new two-story, single-family home on their lot. The existing home currently
encroaches upon the 30’ side yard setback required by the zoning code for a two-story
home. In order to meet the side yard setback requirement, the proposed home would be
located outside of the 30’ side yard setback to the North, while also potentially allowing for
a mound system in lieu of a holding tank pending a POWTS review by the State.
Strict enforcement of the 75’ setback requirement from the OHWM would cause
unnecessary hardship because the Elton’s would not be able to build a new home that
utilizes the lot in a similar way as the neighboring properties. Other properties are able to
widen their homes to maximize lake views from the home, create room sizes consistent
with current industry standards, and add the necessary square footage needed for a
comfortable, aging-in-place design.
This condition is unique because while the Elton’s own lot 5 and Lot 6 of Sandy Beach
Subdivision, the 75’ setback from Lake Michigan and the stream to the South does not
allow for any structures on Lot 6 and even encroaches onto lot 5 as well. This severely
limits the ability to construct a new home that is consistent with the quality and size of
other homes in the neighborhood.
This condition is not self-created as the stream was deemed navigable after the parcels
were platted. The stream was significantly altered between 1995 – 2005 with the addition of
2 retention ponds from the Sandy Beach Farm’s development for stormwater drainage.
Since completion of the stormwater retention ponds, the water in the “stream” on lot 6 has
dried up and presently serves more like a dry riverbed while only getting water from
overflow during heavy storms.
Page 56 of 67
This variance will not alter the character of the neighborhood nor conflict with public
interest. The Sandy Beach Subdivision originally created 17 residential lots, all with the
intent of supporting a home. Most homes occupy either one or two lots, and are built close
to, or even within current side yard setbacks. The Elton’s are not requesting to exceed the
original intent of the subdivision – they are simply requesting to build a new home that is
consistent with the size, quality, and appearance of other homes in the subdivision. This
addition would still maintain a 42-6” setback from the stream and will adhere to the current
stormwater and erosion control standards that have been updated and improved since the
original house was built.
Granting this variance for a reduced setback from the stream will allow Mike and Kira Elton
to utilize their property the same as the neighboring homes and bring additional value to
the subdivision. We appreciate the board’s understanding and consideration of this
variance that will ultimately preserve the purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance while
allowing reasonable use of the property.
