$46 Million Parkland Mall Lawsuit Appealed

While there has been no comment from Art Dyer in the weeks after Judge Lee S. Dreyfus dismissed his case against the city of Muskego, which sought $46 million in damages, he is apparently not ready to throw in the towel.

Court records show that Dyer filed an appeal on April 29, although the city has yet to be served with the paperwork.

Dyer owns the 11-acre parcel at the corner of Lannon Drive and Janesville Road. He has alleged that the city conspired to prevent him from developing on the site, thus "taking" the land from him, and originally filed suit in September 2009.

The city however has stated that Dyer never formally approached them with plans for the site to render any decision on. The city won its case in February, and the question remained what was to come next for Dyer and the land many in Muskego have dubiously named "the tree farm."

Mayor Kathy Chiaverotti said that she was only aware of the appeal being filed, and had no comment.

Muskego Patch has also reached out to Dyer for comment, and will update the story when more information is available.
