The Bayfield County BOA decision denying Kristle KLR’s water bottling proposal was affirmed by appeal court Judge Bittner.
CONCLUSION
The Bayfield County Board of Adjustment’s decision denying the petitioners’ conditional use permit application is affirmed because the BOA (1) kept within its jurisdiction since the concurrent exemption did not apply; (2) proceeded on a correct theory of law in its finding that the CUP application did not describe a permissible land use; (3) its action was not arbitrary, capricious, oppressive, or unreasonable because it was based on substantive concerns outlined in the zoning ordinance; and (4) the board reasonably made that determination based on the evidence presented.
Thus, the petitioners’ petition for a writ of certiorari is denied.
THIS IS A FINAL ORDER FOR PURPOSES OF APPEAL.
