The official copies of the detailed zoning maps of Sawyer County, the Flood Insurance Rate Maps, and the Wisconsin Wetland Inventory Maps, together with a copy of this ordinance, shall be kept at the County Zoning Administrator's office and shall be available for public inspection during working hours.

For Wetland boundaries where an apparent discrepancy exists between the Wetland/Shoreland District boundary shown on the Wisconsin Inventory Maps and actual field conditions at the time the maps were adopted, the Zoning Administrator shall contact the appropriate district office of the DNR to determine if the Wetland/Shoreland District boundary as mapped is an error. If DNR staff concur with the Zoning Administrator that a particular area was incorrectly mapped as a Wetland, the Zoning Administrator shall have the authority to immediately grant or deny a land use or Building permit in accordance with the regulations applicable to the correct zone district. In order to correct Wetland mapping errors shown on the Wisconsin Inventory Maps, the property owner shall be responsible for initiating a Wetland/Shoreland map amendment within a reasonable period of time.
