Which is why Rep. Adam Jarchow (R-Balsam Lake) is the lead sponsor. Assembly Bill 479 will allow property owners to use and sell substandard lots and comes in response to a June decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that determined a Wisconsin family was not entitled to compensation over development regulations that barred the sale of a lot it owns adjacent to its cottage on Lake St. Croix.In all 13 GOP members of the Assembly and 5 GOP members of the Senate signed onto the bill.

The change in state law was inserted into the state budget last week.

Owners of those properties also were required to get a permit from the village.
Village officials were concerned that rental homes would spread in response to demand for short-term housing for Packers games — and that would change the village's character.
