LEGAL NOTICE The Lake County Planning Board will hold a public meeting Wednesday, February 12, 2025 at 7:00 pm in the large conference room (Room 316) of the Lake County Courthouse. The options for attendance are through ZOOM* or in person. Agenda items include: NOLAN APPEAL REQUEST Jane Nolan is requesting an appeal of Lake County Planning Department’s interpretation that the property is in violation of the Lake County Lakeshore Protection Regulations, regarding the removal of cattails on the property without a permit. Section 5.3(J)(3)(c)(iii) of the Lakeshore Protection Regulations states “Any removal of cattails must be done at low water and requires a plan to be reviewed and approved, prior to the removal taking place.”. Section 3.3(B)(2) states “In this context maintenance on properties includes, cleanup of debris such as branches and leaves, restacking fallen rock, installing new native plants (e.g. shrubs and grasses), maintenance of existing vegetation including trimming that does not imperil the health of trees and plants, and maintaining pathways, etc.;”, and 3-4(C)(9) states “Without limitation, the following activities, when conducted within the lakeshore protection zone, are examples of work for which a permit is required, except as allowed in Section 3-3: clearing of vegetation”. Planning Staff received a complaint that cattails were removed, with associated photos. Based on these photos, it appears cattails were removed from the subject property, which would constitute as a violation. The +/- 0.09-acre property is located along Lake Mary Ronan Road in Proctor and is legally described as tract 12-A on Deed Exhibit 1704, located in section 11 of T25N, R22W. Information regarding the agenda item is available from the Lake County Planning Dept. Written comments received by February 3, 2025 will be included in the board packets.
