Ruemmele applicants seek multiple setback reductions for proposed garage and loft

Christopher and Karna Ruemmele are listed on the agenda as applicants for Case #26-03B, proposing a detached residential garage with loft measuring 26 feet by 42 feet (including overhangs), with a 960-square-foot first floor and a 715-square-foot loft. Their application requests three setback variances: a reduced setback of 28 feet from the centerline of a private road instead of the 40 feet required by Bayfield County Ordinance Sec. 13-1-22(b)(2); a reduced setback of 6 feet 6 inches from wetlands instead of the 25 feet required by Sec. 13-1-22(f); and a reduction to 6 feet 6 inches from the ordinary high‑water mark instead of the standard 75 feet under Sec. 13-1-22(a)(1).

The agenda prescribes standard hearing procedures—swearing in witnesses, testimony by applicant and those in favor or opposed, closing of testimony, deliberation, and a decision by the Board. The agenda itself does not include a Board determination or vote count for this case; any permit approvals would still require separate land use permits from Planning and Zoning if the Board grants relief.
