ZONING: Sawyer County Zoning submitted proposed amendments to the definition of Camping Cabins within licensed Trailer camps and Campgrounds. The proposed changes were discussed and Don Robinson was present to answer questions.
MOTION: Moved by Czarnecki; 2nd by Cummings to deny the proposed amendments to Sawyer County Zoning Ordinance section 2.0(15) definition of Camping Cabin and Section 6.610 Camping Cabins, within licensed Trailer Camps and Campgrounds; all in favor on a 3-0 vote; motion carried.
Some reasons for this denial is it is improper to add a restriction of 30% limitations of camping cabin and park models to a definition; adding a slab makes the Camping Cabin a permanent structure; improper to combine Camping Cabins and Park Model trailer.
