The DNR will host a public hearing on a proposed pier construction project in Lake Geneva.
Mike Trainor DBA The Boat House has applied to the DNR on behalf of landowner Michael Lazzaroni for a permit to construct a Pier located along the shoreline of Lake Geneva, Walworth County, at N2062 S. Lakeshore Dr. in Lake Geneva.
The project consists of removing an existing 10-slip, 80' long rock-crib filled pier along the subject property and constructing a new 130’ long rock-crib filled pier which will provide slips to berth 14 boats and associated boat lifts for use by The Boat Club and transient patrons of the attached restaurant when boat club slips are not occupied. As part of the project, four mooring buoys will be removed from the adjacent mooring field where 16 mooring buoys have been routinely placed.
The department has made a tentative determination that it will issue the permit or contract for the proposed activity. If you would like to know more about this project or would like to see the application and plans, please visit the DNR’s permit tracking website here.
At the hearing, the public can learn more about the proposed activity and submit written or oral comments about the waterway and project. Those wishing to participate are asked to complete a survey identifying your intentions prior to the scheduled hearing.
