10-4-2: BUILDING USES:

   A.   Action To Abate Nuisance: No provision of this title shall be construed to bar an action to enjoin or abate the use or occupancy of any land or structure as a nuisance under the appropriate laws of the state of Wisconsin.
   B.   Public Utility Lines: No provision of this title shall be construed to prohibit the customary and necessary construction, reconstruction or maintenance of overground or underground public utility neighborhood service lines and mechanical appurtenances thereto, where reasonably necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety, convenience and welfare.
   C.   Compliance With District Regulations: The use of buildings hereafter erected, converted in use, enlarged or structurally altered and the use of any land shall be in compliance with the regulations established herein for the district in which such land or building is located.

   E.   Effect Of Title On Prior Building Permit Approvals:
      1.   Nothing herein contained shall require any change in the plans, construction, size or designated use of any building or part thereof for which a building permit has been issued before the effective date of this title, and the construction of which shall have been started within six (6) months from the date of such permit.
      2.   Effective upon the date of introduction of any ordinance amending district boundaries, properties which are the subject of said proposed ordinance shall be subject to the following restrictions until said ordinance is finally acted upon by the common council:
         a.   No construction, structural alteration, moving or demolition for which a permit is required shall be allowed.
         b.   No change of use shall be allowed.
   F.   Temporary Structures: Temporary structures erected for the purpose of providing shelter for materials and equipment of those engaged in the construction of a permanent building, or for use as a real estate sales field office, shall not be required to conform to the regulations of this title. Temporary structures shall require a temporary certificate of occupancy and shall be allowed on the premises for a period not to exceed one year.
   G.   Service Station, Garage Or Parking Lot Location: No service station, mechanical garage or public parking lot shall be erected, operated or maintained where an entrance or exit for motor vehicles is located on the same side of the street within three hundred feet (300') of a pedestrian entrance or exit from a public or private school, park, parkway, playground, public library, church, hospital, home for children or the aged, or other public or semipublic institution of similar character.
   H.   Nonconforming Uses:
      1.   The existing lawful use of a building or premises at the time of the enactment of this title or any amendment thereto may be continued although such use does not conform with the provisions of this title for the district in which it is located; but no building or premises containing a nonconforming use shall be enlarged or extended. However, any building or structure, which is considered nonconforming only because it cannot meet the setback requirements of the zoning district, may be altered or structurally improved, provided that such alteration or structural improvement shall not enlarge or extend any existing nonconforming setback dimension.
      2.   If no structural alterations are made, a nonconforming use of a building may be changed to another nonconforming use of a more restricted classification. Whenever a nonconforming use has been changed to a more restricted nonconforming use or a conforming use, such use shall not thereafter be changed to a less restricted use.
      3.   A nonconforming use shall not be changed to another nonconforming use of the same classification unless and until a permit therefor shall first have been secured from the board of appeals, after investigation and public hearing, provided that the board shall find that the proposed change of use will be no more harmful to the character of the neighborhood than the existing nonconforming use.
      4.   If the nonconforming use of a building or premises is discontinued for a period of twelve (12) months, any future use of the building or premises shall conform to the regulations for the district in which it is located.
      5.   The total structural repairs or alterations in any nonconforming use shall not during its life exceed fifty percent (50%) of the equalized assessed value of the building unless permanently changed to a conforming use.
      6.   The construction, improvement or alteration of fences, screenings or plantings required for compliance with any other chapter or parts of this code shall be deemed not to be structural repairs or alterations as those terms are used in subsection H5 of this section.
   I.   Planned Unit Developments: Housing projects consisting of more than twelve (12) dwelling units shall meet the requirements of a planned unit development.
   J.   Accessory Buildings: Accessory buildings which are not a part of the main building shall not occupy more than thirty percent (30%) of the area of the required rear yard, shall not be more than eighteen feet (18') in building height, as defined in this title, and shall not be nearer than six feet (6') to any lot line. Where an accessory building is a part of the main building or is substantially attached thereto, the side yard and rear yard requirements for the main building shall be applied to the accessory building. Accessory buildings on through lots shall comply with setback requirements on both street frontages.
   K.   Uses Authorized After Investigation And Public Hearing: The board of appeals, after investigation and public hearing, may authorize the location of any of the following buildings or uses in any district, or, when specified, only in the districts so specified from which they are excluded, provided that the board shall find that the proposed location is necessary in order to serve the public health, safety, convenience and welfare; and provided further, that each such building or use shall comply with all other regulations for the district in which it is proposed to be located.

For the purpose of determining the distances buildings and other structures shall be set back from lakes and streams, no land shall be used and no buildings shall hereafter be converted in use, enlarged, structurally altered, erected or moved except in accordance with the following rules as set forth in chapter H65, Wisconsin administrative code:
   A.   Minimum Area And Width For Buildings Not Served By Public Sanitary Sewer: The minimum lot area shall be twenty thousand (20,000) square feet and the minimum lot width one hundred feet (100') at the building line and eighty feet (80') at the water's edge.
   B.   Side Yards; Lot Sizes:
      1.   There shall be a side yard for each building not served by public sanitary sewer. The minimum width of one side yard shall be ten feet (10'). The minimum aggregate of both side yards shall be twenty five feet (25').
      2.   Lot sizes greater than twenty thousand (20,000) square feet shall be provided in the following cases because in such instances a greater degree of protection for natural resources and existing development is required:
         a.   Where soil conditions are such as to require larger lot sizes for subdivisions of land under the provisions of chapter H65, Wisconsin administrative code, then such large lot sizes shall be considered as required by this title. (The building inspector is authorized to require percolation tests as required by chapter H65, Wisconsin administrative code, before issuing a building permit on soil he has reason to believe may be subject to this provision.)
         b.   Where necessary to protect natural characteristics (such as scenic beauty) or existing high quality development, lot sizes greater than twenty thousand (20,000) square feet are required as determined by the planning commission.
   C.   Substandard Lots:
      1.   Substandard Lots Served By A Public Sanitary Sewer: A substandard lot served by a public sanitary sewer which is at least seven thousand five hundred (7,500) square feet in area and is fifty feet (50') in width at the building line and fifty feet (50') in width at the water line may be used as a building site for a single-family dwelling upon issuance of a zoning permit, if it meets the following requirements:
         a.   Such use is permitted in the zoning district.
         b.   The lot is of record in the county register of deeds office prior to April 18, 1966.
         c.   The lot is in separate ownership from abutting lands. If abutting lands and the substandard lot are owned by the same owner, the substandard lot shall not be sold or used without full compliance with the terms of this title.
         d.   All dimensional requirements of this title are complied with insofar as practicable.
      2.   Substandard Lots Not Served By Public Sanitary Sewer: The provisions of subsection C1 of this section shall apply and, in addition, the minimum lot area shall be ten thousand (10,000) square feet and the minimum lot width shall be sixty six feet (66') at the building line and sixty six feet (66') at the water line.
      3.   Other Substandard Lots: A building permit for the improvement of a lot having lesser dimensions shall be issued only after the granting of a variance by the board of appeals.
   D.   Setbacks From Water For Lots Abutting Navigable Waters:
      1.   All buildings and structures, except piers, marinas, boathouses and similar uses which require a lesser setback, as determined by the board of appeals, shall be set back at least seventy five feet (75') from the water line and elevated at least two feet (2') above the experienced high water elevation, unless otherwise specified by a floodplain zoning ordinance. Seepage pits and soil absorption fields shall be set back at least fifty feet (50') from the normal high water elevation. Boathouses shall not extend out over the high water line and shall not be over eight feet (8') in height.
      2.   The building inspector shall determine the normal high water elevation or line where not established.
   E.   Reduced Building Setbacks: A setback less than the setback required for the appropriate class of highway may be permitted where there are at least five (5) existing main buildings within five hundred feet (500') of the proposed site that are built to less than the required setback. In such case, the setback shall be the average of the nearest main building on each side of the proposed site or, if there is not building on one side, the average of the setback for the main building on one side and the required setback. Any other setback may be permitted by the board of appeals.
   F.   Removal Of Shore Cover:
      1.   Purpose: These provisions shall apply within three hundred feet (300') of all lakes and streams. Regulation of tree cutting along the shore of navigable waters is necessary to protect scenic beauty, control erosion and reduce effluent and nutrient flow from the shoreland. These provisions shall not apply to the landowner, or to silvicultural thinning upon recommendation of a forester.
      2.   Tree Cutting: Tree cutting in a strip paralleling the shoreline and extending thirty five feet (35') inland from all points along the normal high water mark of the shoreline shall be limited in accordance with the following provisions:
         a.   No more than thirty percent (30%) of the length of this strip (as measured along the normal high water mark) shall be clear cut to the depth of the strip.
         b.   Provided further, that cutting of this thirty percent (30%) shall not create a clear cut opening in this strip greater than thirty feet (30') wide for every one hundred feet (100') of shoreline (measured along the normal high water mark).
         c.   In the remaining seventy percent (70%) length of this strip (distance measured along the normal high water mark) cutting shall leave sufficient cover to screen cars, dwellings, accessory structures, except boathouses, as seen from the water, to preserve natural beauty and to control erosion.
         d.   Natural shrubbery shall be preserved as far as practicable, and where removed it shall be replaced with other vegetation that is equally effective in retarding runoff, preventing erosion and preserving natural beauty.
         e.   The removal of natural shrubbery and its replacement shall require the granting of a special exception by the building inspector.
         f.   When the highway setback and lake or stream setback regulations conflict, the highway setback regulations shall govern.
         g.   Lake or stream setback regulations shall apply to all structures, except piers or wharfs and boathouses. (1975 Code Ch. 18 § IV)
