The purpose of the O-SW shoreland-wetland zone is to maintain safe and healthful conditions, to prevent water pollution, to protect fishing spawning grounds and aquatic life and to preserve shore cover and natural beauty. Development in wetlands should be limited. When development is permitted in a wetland, it should occur in a manner that minimizes the adverse impacts upon the wetland. Wetlands provide fish spawning grounds and wildlife habitat. The natural plant and animal communities found in wetlands provide ecological balance to a watercourse. Wetlands help prevent water pollution and flooding problems. The shoreland-wetland zone is an overlay zone, and a shoreland-wetland zoning district as required by NR 115.04 Wisconsin Administrative Code.

(Ord. No. 76, § 8.01, 3-13-1984; Ord. No. 610, 4-18-2017)

(a)

Generally. This O-SW zone includes all shorelands subject to regulation under article VI of this chapter which are designated wetlands as shown on the wetlands maps that have been adopted and made a part of this chapter in section 58-277. Wetlands located in the shoreland area that extend across corporate limits of an adjacent municipality or across the shoreland boundary shall be included in this zone if the total contiguous wetland area is two acres or more.

(b)

Locating shoreland/wetland boundaries. Where an apparent discrepancy exists between the O-SW shoreland/wetland zone boundary shown on the official wetlands maps and the actual field conditions at the time the maps were adopted, the zoning administrator shall contact the appropriate field office of the state department of natural resources to determine if the shoreland/wetland zone as mapped is in error. If the department staff concur with the zoning administrator that particular area was incorrectly mapped as a wetland, the zoning administrator shall have the authority to immediately grant or deny a land use permit in accordance with the regulations applicable to the correct zoning district. In order to correct wetland mapping errors shown on the official zoning map, the zoning administrator shall be responsible for initiating a map amendment within a reasonable period of time.

(Ord. No. 76, § 8.02, 3-13-1984; Ord. No. 535, § 1, 10-18-2011; Ord. No. 576, 3-18-2014)

The construction and maintenance of nonresidential buildings used solely in conjunction with raising of waterfowl, minnows or other wetland or aquatic animals or used solely for some other purpose which is compatible with wetland preservation, if such building cannot as a practical matter be located outside the wetland, provided that:

1.

Any such building does not exceed 500 square feet in floor area; and

2.

No filling, flooding, draining, dredging, ditching, tiling or excavating is to be done except for limited excavating and filling necessary to provide structural support for the building.

(a)

The residents of the county, whether served by private wells or municipal supplies, depend exclusively on groundwater for a safe drinking water supply.

The purpose of this GWPOD groundwater protection overlay district is to institute land use regulations to protect the municipal water supplies, and to promote the public health, safety and general welfare of the residents of the county.

(b)

Statutory authority specified in the GWPOD groundwater protection overlay district was established by Wis. Stats. § 280.21, which specifically added groundwater protection to the statutory authorization for municipal planning and zoning to protect public health, safety and welfare.

(Ord. No. 195, § 1(8.10), 4-11-1995)

The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this division, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:

(Ord. No. 195, § 1(8.13), 4-11-1995)

The regulations of this division shall apply to the unincorporated areas of the county that lie within the groundwater protection overlay district for municipal water supply wells, as approved by the county planning and zoning committee, and are in addition to the requirements in the underlying zoning district.

The purpose of the RS-P single-family planned development zone is to provide the means whereby land may be planned and developed as a unit for residential uses under standards and conditions which encourage good design and promote a stable living environment. The RS-P zone is intended to permit flexibility and variety in development, to encourage the preservation of natural features and open space, and to minimize present and future burdens on the community as a whole which result from poor planning. Such developments shall be site designed as a complete unit, but may be actually developed by subunit in accordance with the overall site plan. The RS-P zone is intended to permit moderate density single-family development in attached or detached dwelling units.

(Ord. No. 76, § 14.01, 3-13-1984)

Minimum width. There is no minimum width, except that all RS-P planned residential developments shall abut on a public street.

(d)

Maximum height. The maximum height in the RS-P zone is 35 feet.

Density. Density in the RS-P zone shall not exceed six dwelling units per acre of net buildable area. The net buildable area shall be determined by subtracting the area occupied by streets, driveways, parking areas, navigable streams, wetlands, and the applicable front, side and rear yard and water setbacks from the gross acreage of the land parcel designated as a planned residential development.

(f)

Lot requirements. Each dwelling unit in the RS-P zone shall be located on a lot of record in a recorded subdivision plat. Lot areas for attached dwelling units shall be designated by broken lines on the plot plan. The minimum lot width shall be 20 feet.

(g)

Yard and setback requirements. Yard and setback requirements in the RS-P zone are as follows:

(2)

Minimum side and rear yard: Structures shall be set back a minimum of 25 feet from the external lot lines of the planned residential zone. There are no yard requirements for interior lots, except that no portion of any structure containing a cluster or grouping of single-family attached dwelling units, or accessory structures thereto may be located within 25 feet of any other such structure, and no single-family detached dwelling unit or accessory structure thereto shall be located within 25 feet of any other such structure.

(3)

Unified control. All land included for an RS-P planned residential development shall be under the legal control of the applicant, whether that applicant be an individual, partnership, corporation or group of individuals, partnerships or corporations. The applicant shall state agreement to:

(1)

The provisions of this chapter and any conditions which may be attached to the site plan;

Provide agreements, contracts, deed restrictions, and sureties acceptable to the county for completion of the development according to the approved plans, and maintenance of such areas, functions and facilities as area not to be provided, operated and maintained at public expense; and

(3)

Bind their successors in title to any commitments made under this chapter.

All such agreements and evidence of unified control shall be examined by the corporation counsel, and no planned residential area shall be approved without certification by the corporation counsel that such agreements and evidence of unified control meet the requirements of this chapter.

(j)

Open space. A minimum of 20 percent of the developable area in the RS-P zone shall be dedicated as common open space. The developable area shall be determined by subtracting the area occupied by streets, driveways, parking areas, navigable streams and wetlands from the gross acreage of the land parcel designated as a planned residential development.
