Description

¶1. A group of neighborhood citizens appeal from a circuit court certiorari review upholding the grant of a conditional use permit (CUP) for the creation and operation of a public museum at Black Point estate, a historic residence located on Geneva Lake. The neighbors contend that the Walworth County Land Management Committee erred as a matter of law by failing to consider the potential application of restrictive covenants limiting the use of the Black Point property as "first class residence property." This is an issue of first impression in Wisconsin. We share the view of other jurisdictions, however, that private contracts restricting the use of land are not grounds for denial of a CUP. While the Committee may, in its discretion, consider the potential application of private agreements, it is not under an obligation to do so.
