Fontana Wisconsin Lakefront Property Owners Disapprove Proposed Ordinance Changes

Concerns began for lakefront property owners last year when the idea of placing a second layer of homes by the lakefront was proposed. Since then the Fontana Wisconsin Village Board has appointed their staff to come up with a separate zoning ordinance for lakefront properties. However, the suggested changes, when brought to the public eye last week, were not favorable to lakefront property owners. The restrictions on caretaker homes and a new definition of how lot areas were to be measured did not seem to be in favor with those at the public hearing.

Due to the property owners’ reactions at Fontana’s Village Board meeting, the village’s staff will be looking over the changes again to see if they can come up with something more agreeable to those with primary interests.
