A lot of great replies a wet land can as some have said be seasonal that is true but generally a wet land is more than .63 acres. So who live up stream and down and to the left and right of them I would venture to say they are guilty too.

If you look at the map, the property is located in what was likely the part of the outlet of a much larger seasonal swamp. Then people filled and drained along the lakefront and developed.

Some time later a second road was run through the seasonal swamp farther away from the shore and the outlet of the inland swamp redirected. The Sackett property just hadn't been filled before the wetland inventory was done unlike all of their neighbor's properties. It is indeed separated from the larger inland swamp by the second road and it's filled roadbed and ditches.

Some neighbor had it in for them. The local gov'ts were completely useless in helping to point this out well before the development of the Sackett property began and should be defendants too.
