Mirbeau-Hummel Developers Look to Change Plans

Lake Geneva Wisconsin’s City Council has not heard the last of Bob Hummel and his construction plans for 711 acres of land next to Big Foot Beach State Park. Although the City Council voted to deny the Mirbeau-Hummel general development plan that Hummel proposed a few months ago, a new plan has been in the works. Lake Geneva Regional News reported that Hummel’s attorney commented on there being nothing official in the works right now and there was no set timeframe when he would present a new proposal. 

However, Hummel’s attorney did mention that the Hummel Group would be meeting with city staff this week and discuss plans for a land division regarding the eight parcels of land that make up the property into 18 divisions; current allowed uses for the land include cultivation, selective cutting, community living arrangements and single-family residential. Hummel may also build a house on each of the eight parcels, with a total of eight homes without any special zoning requests. Whether Hummel will chose to do this, ask for approval of dividing the land into 18 parcels, or sell the land parcels individually to other developers, only time will tell.
