By letter dated July 12, 2023, the DNR granted the request for a contested case hearing, which the DNR limited to the following issues: (1) whether the proposed piers and boat slips met the public interest standard set forth in Wis. Stat. § 30.12(3m)(c); and (2) whether the proposed piers and boat slips constituted a reasonable use of the riparian property.
On Aug. 10, 2023, the Division of Hearings and Appeals received, for filing, an original request for hearing from the DNR. The parties have conferred and agreed to a date for a prehearing conference and dates for the contested case hearing.
