The Wisconsin DNR is proposing changes to the
state’s shoreland zoning regulations. These changes will be
applied to existing homes and property.
THE VALUE and ENJOYMENT of your home or property
could be affected. The proposed changes include:
-
Placing strict limits
on the size of homes and the amount of impervious surface
areas (structures, driveways, decks, etc.) within 300 feet of
the water;
-
Increased minimum lot
size requirements;
-
New standards for
measuring the width of new and existing lots;
-
Prohibiting all
expansion of buildings located within 35 feet of the water;
-
New restrictions on
the removal and trimming of brush and trees between your home
and the water.
Please share your thoughts with the DNR Staff at
upcoming public hearings:
