The following notice from the Department of Natural Resources is a public service of NBCRG
Deer Creek Inn & Conference Center, LLC
Mr. Don Kitten
P.O. Box 510845
New Berlin,
WI 53151
Dear Mr. Kitten:
The enclosed document is a "Notice of Complete
Application” and “Notice of Public Informational hearing” for your
project. Wisconsin law requires that the public be allowed an opportunity to comment on
projects like yours. The enclosed
notice(s) help you meet this requirement.
The Department has scheduled a public informational hearing on your application
for a permit for grading in excess of 10,000
square feet on the banks of Deer Creek.
The hearing will be held on Thursday, April 24, 2008 at 5pm at New Berlin City Hall.
Because your
project is in or connected to public waters held in trust by the state for all
citizens, state law provides an opportunity for public input to the
Department’s decision. The hearing is a
time for gathering additional facts to help gauge possible impacts of the
proposed project on fish and wildlife or their habitat, natural scenic beauty,
surface water use and similar features of the lake or stream. The hearing is being held because you
requested that a hearing be scheduled as part of the public notice.
The hearing is
informational only. I or another
Department staffer will manage the hearing agenda according to set procedures
in order to allow all who attend to be heard and to gather as much factual
information as possible. Attorneys are
not typically involved and this is not like a court proceeding.
The enclosed
document is the "Notice of Public Hearing & Complete Application” that
must be published in the newspaper and mailed to specific groups and
individuals. This notice must be published and received by
all listed parties a minimum of 10 days prior to the Public Informational
Hearing.
Before I can
proceed further toward a decision on your application, state law requires that
you:
1.
Publish this as a Class I Notice, at your
expense, in New
Berlin
NOW, 333 W. State Street, Milwaukee,
WI 53213,
fax 414-224-2505.
2.
Obtain an affidavit from the newspaper to prove
that the notice was published.
3.
Provide a copy of the enclosed notice to the
parties listed below, either by U.S. Mail or in person. If provided by U.S. Mail, send the notice
with Return Receipt Requested. If
provided in person, obtain a signature from each party to verify that they
received the notice. You may notify others at your discretion. You also must
provide a copy of the notice to any person or group who asks you to do so.
