AUGUST 9, 2021 | SAND LAKE BOARD PASSES INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE
From Sand Lake's Facebook page: The Town of Sand Lake Board unanimously passed an ordinance adopting interim zoning, effective tonight - for up to two years, to protect existing land uses while they reinstate a planning commission to update the maps and work towards comprehensive zoning. This is huge first step, our voice was heard and our representatives have given us a chance to participate in the process and determine what we want for our future in Sand Lake. Thank You to them and all of you!

APRIL 6, 2021 | CUP 21-09 Yellow River-Devil's Lake Denied
Based on the following, the Land Use & Info Committee (LUIC) unanimously denied Mr. Chelmo's CUP:
- incompatibility with Burnett County's Comprehensive Plan (land use within in an A2 district, Section 30)
- public health, safety and welfare issues (intensity of use, road access)
- character of district and density of use in conflict with Town of Meenon and Village of Webster's positions
Last month's full county board vote for a campground moratorium directs the LUIC to create a sub-committee to review campground rules. Supervisors Conroy, Awe and Paden have been appointed to take a look under the hood.
