PUBLIC HEARING – TO HEAR COMMENTS ON A PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO CREATE ARTICLE II OF
CHAPTER 162 OF THE CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF SAUKVILLE CREATING A SHORELAND ZONING
ORDINANCE, AS REQUIRED BY SEC. 61.353, WIS. STATS.
Krocka/Sauer made a motion to open the Public Hearing. Roll Call Vote was taken with all in favor.
Motion carried at 8:02 p.m.
Wagner read the model ordinance to include new requirements of ACT 80. ACT 80 requires shoreland
zoning. Wagner stated that the ordinance had been reviewed by the Village Attorney. The Plan
Commission had also reviewed and recommended it for approval.
Bert Kultgen, Kultgen Investments, owns the Payne Hotel at the corner of E. Green Bay Ave. and W.
Dekora St.
Kultgen stated that, as he read the new ordinance, he would not be able to build on the one (1) acre
parcel directly east of the Payne Hotel. Kultgen stated that he does not feel he should have to pay taxes
on property that he cannot use. Kultgen wanted to know if the Village was going to lower the taxes on
that parcel.
Wagner stated that Kultgen would need to provide written proof of the impact and that would need to be
presented to the Village assessor.
Kultgen referenced Hattie Peiffer’s property on S. Main St. He stated that property would also lose any
ability for additional building.
August 19, 2014
Wagner stated that each parcel would be handled on a “case by case” basis. The property owner would
need to do their homework as to what could be done to the property.
Kultgen did not feel that he should have to maintain property that he can’t use.
Dickmann stated that he would have to appeal to the assessor if he felt an adjustment should be made.
Kultgen stated that he wants to put a building on that parcel and according to what he is reading, he
cannot build.
Wagner referred to other parts of the state saying that, generally, property owners do not build right up
to the water. As in any case, set back requirements must be met or the property owner could apply for a
variance, regardless of the Shoreland Zoning Ordinance.
Wagner referred to Section 62-22 related to set backs from water. There is already an easement there.
Dickmann stated to Kultgen, “if you have a plan for a building it should be presented to the Plan
Commission”.
Kultgen stated that he would like to know what part is buildable in the event he wants to sell the
property.
Wagner again stated that the building would have to meet all set back requirements as would any
property.
Wagner stated, in addition, a multi-use driveway would have to be approved if another building is
erected.
Sauer asked if the property owner is able to request a variance.
Wagner stated that there are variables as to use. There are certain criteria that qualify for a variance
and some that don’t.
Wagner informed Kultgen that if he believes his property has been devalued, he should contact the
assessor regarding Open Book/Board of Review.
Roy Wilhelm, Village Resident, stated that the current ordinance mentions a Zoning Administrator and GIS
Mapping for Shoreland Zoning of which the Village has nothing.
Wagner stated that the Village has a Zoning Administrator and the Village would work with the county to
provide the information on the GIS.
Dickmann, hearing no other comments, requested a motion to close the Public Hearing.
Krocka/Gielow made a motion to close the Public Hearing. Roll call vote was taken with all in favor.
Public Hearing closed at 8:23 p.m.
