Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
A complete application for a substantial development,
				  conditional use, or variance permit shall contain, as a minimum, the following
				  information:
(1) The name, address and
				phone number of the applicant. The applicant should be the owner of the
				property or the primary proponent of the project and not the representative of
				the owner or primary proponent.
(2)
				The name, address and phone number of the applicant's representative if other
				than the applicant.
(3) The name,
				address and phone number of the property owner, if other than the
				applicant.
(4) Location of the
				property. This shall, at a minimum, include the property address and
				identification of the section, township and range to the nearest quarter,
				quarter section or latitude and longitude to the nearest minute. All
				applications for projects located in open water areas away from land shall
				provide a longitude and latitude location.
(5) Identification of the name of the
				shoreline (water body) that the site of the proposal is associated with. This
				should be the water body from which jurisdiction of the act over the project is
				derived.
(6) A general description
				of the proposed project that includes the proposed use or uses and the
				activities necessary to accomplish the project.
(7) A general description of the property as
				it now exists including its physical characteristics and improvements and
				structures.
(8) A general
				description of the vicinity of the proposed project including identification of
				the adjacent uses, structures and improvements, intensity of development and
				physical characteristics.
(9) A
				site development plan consisting of maps and elevation drawings, drawn to an
				appropriate scale to depict clearly all required information, photographs and
				text which shall include:
(a) The boundary of
				the parcel(s) of land upon which the development is proposed.
(b) The ordinary high water mark of all water
				bodies located adjacent to or within the boundary of the project. This may be
				an approximate location provided, that for any development where a
				determination of consistency with the applicable regulations requires a precise
				location of the ordinary high water mark the mark shall be located precisely
				and the biological and hydrological basis for the location as indicated on the
				plans shall be included in the development plan. Where the ordinary high water
				mark is neither adjacent to or within the boundary of the project, the plan
				shall indicate the distance and direction to the nearest ordinary high water
				mark of a shoreline.
(c) Existing
				and proposed land contours. The contours shall be at intervals sufficient to
				accurately determine the existing character of the property and the extent of
				proposed change to the land that is necessary for the development. Areas within
				the boundary that will not be altered by the development may be indicated as
				such and contours approximated for that area.
(d) A delineation of all wetland areas that
				will be altered or used as a part of the development.
(e) A general indication of the character of
				vegetation found on the site.
(f)
				The dimensions and locations of all existing and proposed structures and
				improvements including but not limited to; buildings, paved or graveled areas,
				roads, utilities, septic tanks and drainfields, material stockpiles or
				surcharge, and stormwater management facilities.
(g) Where applicable, a landscaping plan for
				the project.
(h) Where applicable,
				plans for development of areas on or off the site as mitigation for impacts
				associated with the proposed project shall be included and contain information
				consistent with the requirements of this section.
(i) Quantity, source and composition of any
				fill material that is placed on the site whether temporary or
				permanent.
(j) Quantity,
				composition and destination of any excavated or dredged material.
(k) A vicinity map showing the relationship
				of the property and proposed development or use to roads, utilities, existing
				developments and uses on adjacent properties.
(l) Where applicable, a depiction of the
				impacts to views from existing residential uses and public areas.
(m) On all variance applications the plans
				shall clearly indicate where development could occur without approval of a
				variance, the physical features and circumstances on the property that provide
				a basis for the request, and the location of adjacent structures and
				uses.
