Mirbeau-Hummel Referendum Rejected by Voters
The controversial Mirbeau-Hummel plan does not meet well with the community
In December the City Council voted unanimously for putting a
referendum question concerning Mirbeau-Hummel on the April 1st
ballot. The April Spring Election for
Lake Geneva revealed a strong rejection of the Mirbeau-Hummel development referendum
with voting numbers of 1,377-414; this was not surprising to many as the development
plans have been the source of debate for officials and community members for
the past year. The Lake Geneva Plan
Commission voted in favor of the rezone and general development plan for the
property in question, but they also wanted more input from residents on the
issue. The split in opinions is mainly
due to concerns about the natural environment of the area, with advocates
insisting that it can only be beneficial economically and it is already zoned
for more than the proposed residential units.
