(a)

Purpose. One of the purposes of this chapter is to divide the unincorporated portions of the county into districts within which the use of land and buildings, and the bulk and location of buildings in relation to the land are mutually compatible, and substantially uniform.

(b)

Impact and compatibility of certain uses. There are certain uses that may be entirely appropriate and not necessarily incompatible with the basic uses permitted in any district, but not at every or any location therein or without restrictions or conditions being imposed by reason of unique problems the use of its particular location presents from a zoning standpoint, including the impact of those uses upon neighboring land or public facilities, and the public need for the particular uses at a particular location. Such uses may be necessary or desirable to be allowed in a particular district provided that due consideration is given to their location, development, and operation. Such uses are hereby classified as conditional uses and are subject to the provisions specified herein.

(1)

Approval required. Any conditional uses listed in this chapter shall be permitted only when authorized by the county land use and information committee and subject to its approval. Upon such approval, issuance of a conditional use permit will be granted. Town board approval may be requested for conditional uses.

(2)

Basis of approval. The county land use and information committee shall consider the effect of such grant on the health, general welfare, safety and economic prosperity of the county and of the immediate area in which such use would be located considering Wis. Stats. § 59.69(5e).

(3)

Conditions attached to conditional use permit. Upon consideration of the factors as listed in subsection (b)(2) of this section, the land use and information committee may attach such conditions in addition to those required elsewhere in this chapter that it deems necessary in furthering the purpose of this chapter. Such conditions may include specifications for, without limitation because of specific enumeration: type of shorecover, increased setbacks and yards, specified sewage disposal and water supply facilities, parking and signs, type of construction, granting or denial of lake access and boat docks to off-lake developments. The committee may require, as a condition that a permit be first obtained from relevant state agencies having jurisdiction over the appropriate subject matter.

(a)

Application. Application for a conditional use permit shall be made to the county zoning administrator, who shall promptly refer the application to the county land use and information committee. In addition to the information required under article IX of this chapter for a land use permit, the county land use and information committee may require the applicant to submit other pertinent data and information necessary to properly evaluate the request.

(b)

Fees. The fee for filing of applications for conditional use permits shall be established by the county board. A copy of the current fee schedule shall be kept on file in the office of the county zoning administrator.

(c)

Hearing. The county land use and information committee shall schedule a public hearing on the application within 60 days after it is filed.

(d)

Determination. The land use and information committee shall report its decision within 60 days after the hearing of the application. Its decision shall include an accurate description of the use permitted, of the property on which it is permitted, and all conditions made applicable thereto.

(e)

Mapping and recording. When a conditional use permit is granted, an appropriate record shall be made of the land use and building permits and such grant shall be applicable solely to the structures, use and property so described.

(f)

Termination.

(1)

Where a permitted conditional use does not continue in conformity with the conditions of the original approval, the conditional use permit shall be terminated by action of the land use and information committee.

(2)

The expiration for conditional land use permits shall be the same as land use permit under section 30-658(c), and any conditionally permitted use which is discontinued for 12 consecutive months shall also expire.
