Proposed expansion of Silver Rapids Lodge near Ely is facing a standstill with two lawsuits filed in recent weeks against Lake County.During the first week of October the county was sued in back-to-back filings, one by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the other by a citizen formed group called CARD.The lawsuits posit that Lake County should not have approved the resort expansion that proposes a three-phase $45 million development on a 62-acre parcel located on the narrow waterway between White Iron and Farm Lakes.Months of debate and citizen protest preceded plans to renovate the historic resort that had been out of compliance with the county’s ordinances for environmental standards.During the conditional use permit application process in previous months, Lake County planning commission reviewed a request brought by citizens’ petition with over 300 signatures for an environmental assessment worksheet, which was deemed not required by the commission.The group Community Advocates for Responsible Development (CARD) is being represented by an attorney from the Twin Cities.
