Chapter 420: Shoreland-Wetland Zoning
[HISTORY: Adopted by the Common Council of the City of Mayville at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. II). Amendments noted where applicable.]
Comprehensive Plan — See Ch. 405.
Chapter 420 : Shoreland-Wetland Zoning
This chapter is adopted pursuant to the authorization in §§ 62.23, 62.231, 87.30 and 281.31, Wis. Stats.
Promote the public health, safety, convenience and general welfare;
Maintain the stormwater and floodwater storage capacity of wetlands;
Prevent and control water pollution by preserving wetlands which filter or store sediments, nutrients, heavy metals or organic compounds that would otherwise drain into navigable waters;
Protect fish, their spawning grounds, other aquatic life and wildlife by preserving wetlands and other aquatic habitat;
Prohibit certain uses detrimental to the shoreland-wetland area; and
Preserve shore cover and natural beauty by restricting the removal of natural shoreland cover and controlling shoreland-wetland excavation, filling and other earthmoving activities.
The use of wetlands and the alteration of wetlands within the shoreland area of the municipality shall be in full compliance with the terms of this chapter and other applicable local, state or federal regulations. (However, see § 420-12 of this chapter for the standards applicable to nonconforming uses.) All permitted development shall require the issuance of a zoning permit unless otherwise expressly excluded by a provision of this chapter.
This chapter supersedes all the provisions of any municipal zoning ordinance enacted under § 62.23 or 87.30, Wis. Stats., which relate to floodplains and shoreland-wetlands, except that where another municipal zoning ordinance is more restrictive than this chapter, that ordinance shall continue in full force and effect to the extent of the greater restrictions, but not otherwise.
In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this chapter shall be held to be minimum requirements and shall be liberally construed in favor of the municipality and shall not be deemed a limitation or repeal of any other powers granted by the Wisconsin Statutes. Where a provision of this chapter is required by a standard in Ch. NR 117, Wis. Adm. Code, and where the provision of this chapter is unclear, the provision shall be interpreted in light of the Ch. NR 117 standards in effect on the date of the adoption of this chapter or in effect on the date of the most recent text amendment to this chapter.
The county shoreland zoning provisions in effect on the date of annexation remain in effect and shall be administered by the municipality for all areas annexed by the municipality after May 7, 1982, unless any of the changes as allowed by § 59.692(7)(a)1 to 3, Wis. Stats., occurs. These annexed lands are described on the municipality's Official Zoning Map. The county shoreland zoning provisions are incorporated by reference for the purpose of administering this section and are on file in the office of the Zoning Administrator.
The following maps are hereby adopted and made part of this chapter and are on file in the office of the Director of Public Works:
Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), Panel Number 550103 0001B and 550103 0003B, dated June 1, 1981, with corresponding profiles that are based on the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) dated December 1, 1980.
Flood Boundary and Floodway Map (FBFM), Panel Number 550103 0001B and 550103 0003B, dated June 1, 1981.
United States Geological Survey Maps dated 1980 and 1981.
Wisconsin Wetland Inventory maps dated September 19, 1994.
The City of Mayville Official Zoning Map dated April 10, 2006, and corresponding 2030 Comprehensive Plan.
One-hundred-year flood boundary map prepared by MSA Professional Services dated January 2001 and corresponding Springbrook Creek Drainage Study.
The Aerometric Engineering Topographic Mapping with Flood Boundary Delineation dated April 16, 1979.
Within 300 feet of the ordinary high-water mark of navigable rivers or streams, or to the landward side of the floodplain, whichever distance is greater. Rivers and streams shall be presumed to be navigable if they are designated as either continuous or intermittent waterways on the United States Geological Survey quadrangle maps or other zoning base maps which have been incorporated by reference and made a part of this chapter. Floodplain zoning maps adopted in § 420-8 shall be used to determine the extent of floodplain areas.
When an apparent discrepancy exists between the shoreland-wetland district boundary shown on the official zoning maps and actual field conditions at the time the maps were adopted, the Zoning Administrator shall contact the appropriate district office of the Department to determine if the shoreland-wetland district boundary, as mapped, is in error. If Department 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 zoning permit in accordance with the regulations applicable to the correct zoning district. In order to correct wetland mapping errors or acknowledge exempted wetlands designated in Subsections D and E, the Zoning Administrator shall be responsible for initiating a map amendment within a reasonable period.
Filled wetlands. Wetlands which are filled prior to the date on which the municipality received final wetland inventory maps, in a manner which affects their wetland characteristics to the extent that the area can no longer be defined as wetland, are not subject to this chapter.
Hiking, fishing, trapping, hunting, swimming, snowmobiling and boating;
The installation and maintenance of sealed tiles for the purpose of draining lands outside the shoreland-wetland zoning district, provided that such installation or maintenance is done in a manner designed to minimize adverse impacts upon the natural functions of the shoreland-wetland listed in § 420-21C of this chapter; and
Uses which are allowed upon the issuance of a permit and which may include wetland alterations only to the extent specifically provided below:
The road is designed and constructed to minimize adverse impacts upon the natural functions of the wetland listed in § 420-21C of this chapter;
The construction and maintenance of roads necessary for the uses permitted under this subsection are allowed only where such construction and maintenance meets the criteria in Subsection C(1) of this section; and
Such construction or maintenance is done in a manner designed to minimize adverse impacts upon the natural functions of the wetland listed in § 420-21C of this chapter.
Any use not listed in § 420-10 of this chapter is prohibited, unless the wetland or a portion of the wetland has been rezoned by amendment of this chapter in accordance with § 420-21 of this chapter.
The shoreland-wetland provisions of this chapter authorized by § 62.231, Wis. Stats., shall not limit the repair, reconstruction, renovation, remodeling or expansion of a nonconforming structure in existence on the effective date of the shoreland-wetland provisions, or of any environmental control facility in existence on May 7, 1982, related to such a structure. All other modifications to nonconforming structures are subject to § 62.23(7)(h), Wis. Stats., which limits total lifetime structural repairs and alterations to 50% of current fair market value.
Any legal nonconforming use of property which does not involve the use of a structure and which existed at the time of the adoption or subsequent amendment of this chapter adopted under § 62.231, Wis. Stats., may be continued although such use does not conform to the provisions of this chapter. However, such nonconforming use may not be extended.
The Zoning Administrator shall have the following duties and powers. The Zoning Administrator shall:
Investigate and report violations of this chapter to the municipal planning agency and the municipal attorney.
When required. Unless another section of this chapter specifically exempts certain types of development from this requirement, a zoning permit shall be obtained from the Zoning Administrator before any new development, as defined in § 420-23 of this chapter, or any change in the use of an existing building or structure is initiated.
Expiration. All permits issued under the authority of this chapter shall expire one year from the date of issuance.
Upon written request from the owner, the Zoning Administrator shall issue a certificate of compliance for any building or premises existing at the time of adoption of this chapter, certifying, after inspection, the extent and type of use made of the building or premises and whether or not such use conforms to the provisions of this chapter.
Application. Any use listed as a conditional use in this chapter shall be permitted only after an application has been submitted to the Zoning Administrator and a conditional use permit has been granted by the Plan Commission.
Conditions. Upon consideration of the permit application and the standards applicable to the conditional uses designated in § 420-10C of this chapter, the Plan Commission shall attach such conditions to a conditional use permit, in addition to those required elsewhere in this chapter, as are necessary to further the purposes of this chapter as listed in § 420-2. Such conditions may include specifications for, without limitation because of specific enumeration, type of shore cover; erosion controls; increased setbacks; specific sewage disposal and water supply facilities; landscaping and planting screens; period of operation; operational control; sureties; deed restrictions; location of piers, docks, parking areas and signs; and type of construction. To secure information upon which to base its determination, the Plan Commission may require the applicant to furnish, in addition to the information required for a zoning permit, other pertinent information which is necessary to determine if the proposed use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter.
Where the conditions of a zoning permit or conditional use permit are violated, the permit shall be revoked by the Zoning Board of Appeals.
The Zoning Board of Appeals created under § 62.23(7)(e), Wis. Stats., is hereby authorized or shall be appointed to act for the purposes of this chapter. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall adopt rules for the conduct of its business as required by § 62.23(7)(e)3, Wis. Stats.

Literal enforcement of the terms of this chapter will result in unnecessary hardship for the applicant.
Appeals to the Board.

Such appeals shall be taken within a reasonable time, as provided by the rules of the Board, by filing with the official whose decision is in question and with the Zoning Board of Appeals a notice of appeal specifying the reasons for the appeal. The Zoning Administrator or other official whose decision is in question shall transmit to the Board all the papers constituting the record on the matter appealed.
Before making a decision on an appeal or application, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall, within a reasonable period of time, hold a public hearing. The Board shall give public notice of the hearing by publishing a Class 2 notice under Ch. 985, Wis. Stats., specifying the date, time and place of the hearing and the matters to come before the Board. At the public hearing, any party may present testimony in person, by agent or by attorney.
The final disposition of an appeal before the Zoning Board of Appeals shall be in the form of a written decision, made within a reasonable time after the public hearing and signed by the Board Chairperson. Such decision shall state the specific facts which are the basis of the Board's determination and shall either affirm, reverse, or modify the order, requirement, decision or determination appealed, in whole or in part, or dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction or prosecution

If within the thirty-day period the Department notifies the municipality that the Department intends to adopt a superseding shoreland-wetland zoning ordinance for the municipality as provided by § 62.231(6), Wis. Stats., the proposed amendment shall not become effective until the ordinance adoption procedure under § 62.231(6), Wis. Stats., is completed or otherwise terminated.
Any development, building or structure or accessory building or structure constructed, altered, added to, modified, rebuilt or replaced or any use or accessory use established after the effective date of this chapter in violation of the provisions of this chapter by any person, firm, association or corporation (including building contractors or their agents) shall be deemed a violation. The Zoning Administrator shall refer violations to the municipal planning agency and the municipal attorney, who shall prosecute such violations. Any person, firm, association, or corporation who or which violates or refuses to comply with any of the provisions of this chapter shall be subject to a forfeiture as provided in § 1-4 of this Code, together with the taxable costs of such action.
