On April 24, 2023, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) approved an application and Permit IP-SE-2022-68-02139 to allow the City of Delafield to place a pier on Nagawicka Lake located in the SW 1/4, SW 1/4, Section 17, Township 07, Range 18E, City of Delafield, Waukesha County. The Board of Directors of the Waukesha County Environmental Action League (WEAL) and the Defenders of St. Johns Bay, an unincorporated association, Scott Botcher, Jim Nelson, Mary Nelson, Tim Holt, Kim Holt, Chris Pitzo, Suzie Pitzo, C. Michael Hausman, Jane Hausman, and Julie Hollingsworth (collectively “the petitioners”) filed separate petitions for a contested case hearing with the DNR to review the decision to issue the permit to the City of Delafield pursuant to Wis. Stat. §§ 30.209 and 227.42. By letter dated June 21, 2023, the DNR granted a contested case hearing and limited the hearing to the following issues:

1. Whether Permit Application IP-SE-2022-68-02139 met the standards set forth in Wis. Stat. § 30.12(3m), or whether any additional permit conditions are necessary to protect the public interest in Nagawicka Lake.
2. Whether the proposed pier and boat slips constitute a reasonable use of the riparian property.
3. Whether the City of Delafield has granted any riparian right in land to St. John’s Northwestern Academy contrary to Wis. Stat. § 30.133.

On Nov. 7, 2023, the DNR submitted a request for hearing to the Division of Hearings and Appeals. A prehearing conference was conducted on Dec. 21, 2023 via remote video conferencing at which time the named parties were identified and certified and a hearing date scheduled.
