The latest turn in the battle over the future of the Alpine Resort Lodge came to an end earlier this month with the stroke of a pen in Door County Circuit Court.
Judge Jennifer Moeller signed the order for dismissal June 5 ahead of a previously scheduled hearing June 8.
The case dates back to last November, when 10 Egg Harbor residents filed for a restraining order against the Village of Egg Harbor, its Zoning Board of Appeals and Sagorac Enterprises LLC over the possible demolition of the Alpine Resort Lodge.
According to court records, the request for a temporary restraining order was filed about a month after the Egg Harbor Zoning Board of Appeals voted in favor of granting owner Matt Sagorac the certificate of appropriateness needed to demolish the Alpine Resort Lodge.
The decision came nearly two months after Sagorac Enterprises issued a news release formally evicting Alpine Resort operator Randy Abrahams and his affiliated entities over alleged lease violations and unpaid rent.
The Alpine Resort said it had terminated its ongoing negotiations with Sagorac Enterprises and had no knowledge of the issue until its access was blocked. The resort added that it had been negotiating the lease and repurchase of the waterfront parcels and blamed recent delays on sudden changes to the agreement.
The golf course and on-site restaurant have since opened to the public.
