News From Wisconsin

According to The Monroe Times, a group of Green County, Wis., landowners are suing the county’s Zoning Board of Adjustment (BOA) over its decision to allow a local firm to mine stone and sand on more than 12 acres outside Monticello. The suit alleges that, in granting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the mining facility off County F, the board failed to consider several negative aspects of the project, that it represents a “private nuisance,” and that a gas pipeline in the region poses a hazard to an operation that may include blasting.  At issue are plans by Russell Rufer and Rufer & Sons Excavation, Inc. to lease land on two parcels owned by Cathy and Jeffrey Pfeuti and the Albert & Karen Revocable Trust.
