Subject: Removal of Boathouse from Sawyer Creek
Dear Mr. Guldan:
't NF - N ~-2 c~~-~- ~ ~ -
(Q ~ 1 ZC~
The Department of Natural Resources (the Department) has received a complaint regarding a failing boathouse
structure in Sawyer Creek at your property located at 1013 Hawk Street in the City of Oshkosh (NW'/a of the SEl/a
of Section 15, Township 18 North, Range 16 East, Winnebago County).
You own a boathouse which appears to meet the definition of being in a major state of disrepair (NR 325.03(6),
Wis. Adm. Code). It is located below the ordinary high watermark of Sawyer Creek at your address, 1013 Hawk
Street. Structures meeting this definition are regulated by the Department pursuant to s. 30.121(4) Wis. Stats.
The boathouse structure will need to be removed by October 15, 2008. If the boathouse structure is not removed
by this deadline, the Department will pursue enforcement action. Please notify me once the structure is removed
in order to do a site inspection and close out the complaint file.
If you feel the boathouse structure does not meet the definition of major state of disrepair, you will need to
demonstrate this in a Boathouse Certification application. If the Boathouse Certification is approved, repairs will
need to be completed in a timely fashion. You can learn more about boathouse repair regulations at the
Department's website, http://dnr.wi. og v/or water/fhp/waterway/boathouserepair.html. You can find the
Boathouse Certification application on this website under "boathouse repair". However, I have enclosed the
application for your convenience.
Feel free to call me at (920) 424-7885 with any questions. Thank you for your cooperation in resolving this
violation.
Sincerely,
~~~ ~~
