TOWN OF ALGOMA
WINNEBAGO COUNTY, WISCONSIN
May 21, 2025
The public hearing for discontinuance of a public way started at 6:00 pm. The purpose of the hearing is
to discontinue a parcel of land being part of the SE ¼ of the NE ¼ of Section 16, T18N, R16E, Abraham
Lane.
There was no discussion, so the hearing ended. Chairman Rasmussen called the regular town board
meeting to order at 6:01 pm.
The following were present: Supervisors Petey Clark and Teresa Van Aacken.
Supervisors Michael Brooks and Dan Martin are absent, excused.
The following were also present: Administrator Maggie Mahoney, Fire Chief Kevin Sawicki, Public Works
Director Jason Loduha, and Clerk/Treasurer Katherine Reinbold.
The agenda was posted on May 16, 2025.
On a motion by Supervisors Clark/Van Aacken passed on a voice vote, the Board approved the minutes
of the Monthly Town Board Meeting dated April 16, 2025.
On a motion by Supervisors Van Aacken/Clark, passed on a voice vote, the Board approved the May
2025 disbursements.
Jeff Somers at 1556 Milton Cir, looking for clarification on whether the berm is being cut down or not in
the quarry development.
Mark Thompson at 3375 Sheppard Dr, is here about the quarry development. He does not agree with
the 12 driveways onto Leonard Point Road. He hasn’t heard anything about drainage. There was
supposed to be a trail going through there and he hadn’t heard any discussion about that. It shouldn’t
be a private road. He is also concerned with fire protection for the lots furthest in the development and
wants to know what the fill is on lot 27.
Tricia Rathermel, President and CEO of the Greater Oshkosh Economic Development Corporation
(GOEDC) reported that unemployment for Winnebago County went up slightly to 3.1%. Wisconsin is at
3.2% and the country is at 4.2% for unemployment. The State budget is going up for debate next month.
GOEDC is hoping the housing initiatives go through. The new UW Oshkosh chancellor is starting soon.
Fire Chief Kevin Sawicki reported on the equipment they have ordered with the money from the EMS
FAP grant. Rescue 21 and tender 21 need refurbishment and are getting quotes for those. Down on calls
for the month which gave them a breather. Even though the weather wasn’t the greatest, they had a
decent turnout for the open house on May 17.

The Planning Commission met on May 14 to discuss a CSM and a preliminary plat. Both are under new
business.
The Parks Committee did not meet.
Chairman Rasmussen spoke briefly about electric scooters flying around Jones Park. Has been hearing
about accidents with these and other smaller electric vehicles. Winnebago County Sheriff is also
concerned with these, but there is no legislation right now. May come up in a future meeting.
Administrator Mahoney didn’t have an update for the budget other than there will be a budget calendar
presented at the June meeting. There are no updates for the Leonard Point Road Storm Detention Pond
or the Leonard Point Road & STH 21 Roundabout. There will be another public information meeting for
the Leonard Point Road reconstruction project on June 18 at 4:00pm. A letter will be sent to residents in
the project area. The Oshkosh Area School District is moving forward with expanding Oakwood
Elementary School. With this, they will conduct a traffic impact analysis. We know that the intersection
of Oakwood Rd and Omro Rd is a concern and that will be included in the study. Tommy’s Carwash has
stopped work due to an issue with county permits and zoning, and they are working with the county for
a resolution. There was a kickoff meeting on April 15 for the Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan
(CORP). There is a survey up for residents to participate in. It is on our website and there are QR codes at
Jones Park. There was a kickoff meeting on May 1 for the municipal complex needs analysis. Cedar Corp
representatives and Town Hall staff toured the town hall and the fire department. Administrator
Mahoney, Director of Public Works Loduha, and Clerk/Treasurer Reinbold were able to tour Village of
Greenville for ideas as they just recently remodeled their town hall. There were public hearings in
Madison on April 23 for the EMS legislation, and it was generally well received but there will be some
changes, but it will likely be included in the proposed budget. Recently met with the City of Oshkosh
about contract renewal for EMS services with the new city manager.
Clerk/Treasurer Reinbold reported that open book will be May 22, 2025, from 9am-11am over the
phone with Action Appraisers. The Board of Review will be on June 5, 2025, 5:30pm-7:30pm. Letters
have gone out to license holders to renew. Those will be presented at the June meeting. Clerk week was
May 4-10. Governor Tony Evers signed a proclamation and there is a letter of support from some non-
partisan and non-profit organizations. Recently completed some professional development. Passed an
accounting class through UW-Green Bay and attended a district meeting with the Wisconsin Municipal
Clerks Association.
Director of Public Works Loduha reported that he is in the process of getting quotes for some road
maintenance. The bid came in for mill and pave for some roads and is under new business. The wind
screen is up for the pickle ball courts. Irvine, Jones, Jones Park, and Nelson ponds all had muskrats
removed from them. He recently attended the Northeast Wisconsin Stormwater Consortium’s Erosion
Control Workshop and saw real life examples of areas that are taken care of and not. Also attended the
Wisconsin Asphalt Pavement Association Asphalt Pavement Seminar. The Town Hall boiler was shut
down due to a leak, is no longer functional. Working on getting quotes for a replacement. On May 15,
attended the preconstruction meeting for WIS 91 in Winnebago County. About 14.6 miles of WIS 91 will
be closed from May 27, 2025, to October 2025. The public works truck now has the logo on it, a locking
toll box, and some tools.

The monthly financial statements were presented.
Administrator Mahoney noted that the board reviewed a draft resolution in February, and we had the
public hearing before this meeting. One change made from that draft resolution is the removal of the
line stating the Town never maintained that road because it had maintained the road in the past. On a
motion by Supervisors Clark/Van Aacken, passed on a voice vote, the Town Board approved Resolution
2025-02 to Discontinue a Portion of Abraham Lane in the Town of Algoma.
The certified survey map (CSM) is increasing the size of one lot by reducing the size of another so there
is more room for someone to build on. The same person owns both lots. The size of the lot is like other
lots in the area and meets dimensional standards. It is recommended for approval. On a motion by
Supervisors Van Aacken/Clark, passed on a voice vote, the Town Board approved the certified survey
map by petitioner Darryl Lehman, Martenson & Eisele, on behalf of Thomas Marquardt to revise the size
of two parcels, 0021019 and 0021020.
Dan Springhetti, Don Springhetti, and Davel Engineering were present to answer questions on the
preliminary plat. Dan Springhetti gave an overview of the project. The project has 3 phases. Phase 1 will
be 12 lots of luxury homes along Leonard Point Rd, phase 2 will be 14 lots of luxury homes, and phase 3
will be the townhouses. The town houses will range from $750,000 to $1 million. The timeline is about
3-5 years to complete construction. Supervisor Van Aacken brought up the concern of 12 driveways
being added to Leonard Point Rd and the drainage/stormwater concern. Dan Springhetti they are
working with the town on the drainage/stormwater and will have it go into the quarry. Supervisor Van
Aacken asked about the trails that were supposed to go through there. Chairman Rasmussen
commented that there are designated trail paths all over town, but the trails were never built, and
things change. The fire protection concern was brought up and Dan Springhetti commented that he is
working with the Town of Algoma Fire Chief and that the Fire Chief is okay with getting into the
development and being able to turn around with the fire trucks. Supervisor Clark noted that she was
concerned about the 12 driveways on Leonard Point Rd, but after reading all the information and what
they are doing, she no longer has that concern. Dan Springhetti mentioned they should not have to do
any blasting. Chairman Rasmussen was also concerned at first with the 12 driveways but is feeling better
about it now. Dan Springhetti said the berm along the south is staying put as there was a concern of it
being cut down. Davel Engineering explained that there is a part of that berm being cut down due to it
being in the roadway but most of it will be retained. Administrator Mahoney stated that the
recommendation is to approve with conditions that she then read through. Supervisor Van Aacken
asked if the board was even in a position to approve with all the conditions that need to be met.
Administrator Mahoney explained that some conditions have already been taken care of and some are
standard conditions that are included with all preliminary plats. She is comfortable with this list of
conditions and there will be a final plat to approve later where those conditions are met. On a motion by
Supervisors Clark/Van Acken, passed on a voice vote, the Town Board approved the proposed
preliminary plat for Springhetti Lake to the Town Board subject to the following conditions being met:
1. Correct lot number 90 to 20.
2. Add cul-de-sac radius measurement.
3. Add note to the preliminary plat to identify who will own and maintain outlot 1 (OL 1) and
the private road (Prosperity Way) right of way.
4. Identify construction Phases on the preliminary plat including showing the future plan
for Lot 27. The future plan for Lot 27 must meet all design and safety requirements.
5. Show regulated wetlands on the preliminary plat and plan set per the Wetland
Draft
Town Board
4
Delineation Report.
6. Show the location and detail of the water access point for emergency personnel. If
located deep within the private development the town may require ingress/egress.
7. A drainage easement shall be established along the existing stream channel along the
west property line from the relocated stream channel north to where the existing stream
waterfalls into the quarry/lake that maintains the drainage pattern from the town right of
way and Scarlet Oak plat from the west.
8. To ensure the navigable stream channel is maintained in perpetuity, a 150’ wide
drainage easement from the west property line to the lake is required and a 70’ wide
drainage easement from the lake to Leonard Point Road is required. Owners of Lots 1-27
shall be responsible for future maintenance of lands within permanent drainage
easements. If not maintained, Town and/or County shall have authority to maintain and
assess costs back to owners of Lots 1-27.
9. Provide 100-year dry land access at the stream realignment portion in order to protect
and maintain access to the north end of the cul-de-sac. That culvert shall be rated to
support large trucks (fire, garbage, construction etc).
10. Confirmation that utilities can service these parcels, to include approval of annexation
of parcels 002-0020, 002-0027, and 002-002701 into Algoma Sanitary District #1.
11. Execution of a developer’s agreement between the Developer and the Town.

the proposed subdivision by Winnebago County.

15. Review and approval by the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration, or its
successor department.
16. Review and approval by the Army Corp of Engineers.
17. If required by Winnebago County & Zoning, approval of a Planned Development District.
On a motion by Supervisors Van Aacken/Clark, passed on a voice vote, the Town Board approved the bid
for 2025 Asphalt Resurfacing Project to Northeast Asphalt, Inc in the amount of $132,144.70.
Administrator Mahoney explained there was an increase because some buckthorns needed to be
removed and a dead tree. On a motion by Supervisors Clark/Van Aacken, passed on a voice vote, the
Town Board approved the change order 02 for an increase in the amount of $1,750.00.
Administrator Mahoney explained that there is still retainage for the project. Some punch list items have
been completed, but there are some items that need to be completed and may not be done until late
this year. On a motion by Supervisors Van Aacken/Clark, passed on a voice vote, the Town Board
approved pay request 3 payable to Northeast Asphalt in the amount of $14,544.63.
On a motion by Supervisors Clark/Van Aacken, the Town Board adjourned at 7:16 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Katherine Reinbold

Summary of New EMS Bills
• Senate Bill (SB) 181 / Assembly Bill (AB) 197 : Levy Limit Exemption for Regional ( County-
Sized) EMS Districts - Sens. Marklein (R -Spring Green) and James (R -Thorp) and Reps. Kurtz
(R-Wonewoc) and Gustafson (R -Fox Crossing) - In an effort to help improve EMS access and the
availability of EMTs throughout the state , the authors have prepared three bills with a number of
elements aimed at supporting local governments , their first responders , and Wisconsin residents .
The first of three bills in this package includes the following provisions:
- Creates a levy limit exemption for costs associated with providing regional EMS through
participation in a joint emergency services district or through intergovernmental
agreements (IGA) to provide EMS if the area served is at least 232 square miles or
includes at least eight municipalities ( including cities, villages, and towns).
The area served and minimum number of municipalities is based on the smallest
county in Wisconsin by land size and the smallest county by number of
municipalities. Recognizing that county borders may not always be the most
efficient or expedient service territories, the authors drafted this provision to mimic
the levy limit exemption for county- wide EMS districts while allowing
municipalities to form their own county- sized EMS territory.
- If an emergency medical service meets the minimum requirements above on shared
services (district or IGA) and area served (square miles or number of municipalities) and
only one entity is responsible for the coordination of EMS across the service territory, the
participating municipalities are eligible to have the costs for EMS exempt from the levy
limits. The annual growth in the levy limit exemption under this bill is equal to the
increase of the Consumer Price Index plus 5%.
This compares to the existing joint fire and EMS district levy limit exemption ( §
66.0602 (3) (h), Wis. Stats.) which allows an annual increase of CPI plus 2% and
requires each municipal governing body in the district to pass a resolution.
- Additionally, t he growth in the proposed levy limit exemption would be exempt from the
calculation for eligibility to the Expenditure Restraint Program.
• SB 182 / AB 198: EMS Education Access, Certification Cost Reimbursement, and Creating
a PSAP Pilot - Sens. Marklein (R -Spring Green) and James (R -Thorp) and Reps. Kurtz (R -
Wonewoc), Novak (R -Dodgeville ), and Summerfield (R -Bloomer) - The second of three bills in
this package includes the following provisions:
- Requires the Technical College System Board to provide grants to technical colleges that
train and prepare individuals for initial certification or licensure as an emergency medical
responder (EMR) or emergency medical technician (EMT). If this legislation is passed,
the authors intend on funding this provision in the 2025- 2027 State Budget.
2
- Requires the Higher Educational Aids Board to reimburse individuals or employers for the
cost of tuition and materials necessary to qualify for initial certification or licensure as an
EMR or EMT. The authors intend on funding this provision in the budget.
- Creates a Live 911 Pilot Program where the Department of Military Affairs would provide
grants to enable real -time video and multimedia communications between public safety
answering points (PSAP) and individuals who call for emergency services. The pilot
would likely be limited to a few locations around the state, with t he results of the pilot
program reported back to the legislature for consideration of expanding the program in
future sessions. The authors intend on funding this provision in the budget.
• SB 183 / AB 199: Non-Transport MA Reimbursement, EMT Scope of Practice Report, and
ERP Exemption - Sens. Marklein (R -Spring Green) and James (R -Thorp) and Reps. Kurtz (R -
Wonewoc), Zimmerman (R -River Falls), and Summerfield (R -Bloomer) - The third of three bills
in this package includes the following provisions:
- Increases medical assistance (MA) (i.e., Medicaid ) reimbursement for non- transport EMS
calls from the maximum allowable rate under the billing code for “ambulance response
and treatment, no transport” to the maximum allowable rate for the billing code
“ambulance service, basic life support, emergency tran sport” beginning January 1, 2027.
- Requires the Emergency Medical Services Board, in consultation with the Department of
Health Services and Technical College System Board, to annually submit a report to the
legislature on the scope of practice of EMR and EMT practitioners and how any scope of
practice changes may affect training for these individuals.
- Exempts the growth of costs for the current levy limit exemption for certain fire and EMS
districts (cited above) from eligibility for the Expenditure Restraint Program.
The League has registered in-favor of all three pieces of legislation.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
To: Honorable Town Chairperson and Town Supervisors
From: Jason Loduha, Director of Public Works
Date: June 18, 2025
RE: Monthly Director’s Report
A. Road Maintenance Update
For the 2025 Road Maintenance, we received a quote from Fahrner Asphalt Sealers for
our Road Maintenance.
B. 2025 Asphalt Resurfacing
We’re planning to hold a preconstruction meeting soon to go over details and get some
dates lined up for the start of the project. More info will be shared once the schedule is
confirmed.
C. Parks Update
The old rope fence at Jones Park has been replaced with a blue plastic chain.
Perennials have been planted in the flower boxes at Jones Park and flowers were also
planted by the sign in front of the Town Hall. The water at Jones Park has also been
turned on for the season.
D. Training
As part of my ongoing role development, I have completed on-site training in staking
out yard grades and performing final grade inspections. These responsibilities are
currently managed by McMahon Engineering but will gradually be transitioned to me
moving forward.
E. Stormwater Update
The ecologist from McMahon is currently overseeing management of our town-owned
ponds, with a particular focus on preventing the spread of noxious weeds. As part of
this effort, it is important that the weeds around Jones Park Pond and neighboring
properties are cut and maintained.
This action is especially important in preparation for the upcoming new seeding, as
unchecked weed growth could interfere with the success of the seeding process.
Letters have been sent out to the property owners in the affected area requesting their
cooperation in controlling weed growth.
F. New Equipment Purchase
A new Toro push mower was purchased from Kitz & Pfeil for $499.99. It'll be used by the
Man Bridge and for general upkeep around the parks, ponds, and office as needed.

RE: Certified Survey Map by petitioner Bob Reider, Carow Land Surveying and
Environmental, on behalf of Susan Molski to combine parcels 002-012415 and 002-
012504 into one parcel.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Petitioner: Bob Reider
Carow Land Surveying & Environmental
615 N. Lynndale Drive
Appleton, WI 54314
Owner: Susan Molksi
3008 Sheldon Drive
Oshkosh, WI 54904
P
ast Planning Discussion(s): None
Action Requested: Petitioner is requesting approval of the Certified Survey Map on behalf
of the property owner to combine two parcels into one. The same person owns both
parcels.
Property Location and Type:
The subject properties are adjacent, owned by the same property owner, and are zoned R-1
Rural Residential District. Currently, the lot to the north, parcel 002-012415, does not have
direct access. The other lot where Ms. Molski’s residence is currently meets the
dimensional and access requirements for lots in this zoning district. The property owner
wants to combine these two lots into one, which has also been done with a property to the
east at 2952 Sheldon Drive.
These parcels are not in an area of Town where a boundary agreement is currently in effect.
Page 2 of 3
ANALYSIS:
The proposed CSM would combine two existing parcels in the R-1 Rural Residential District,
which would need to continue to meet the dimensional standards for single-family defined
for that district in Chapter 23: Town/County Zoning of the Winnebago County Municipal
Code, Exhibit 8-2 as follows:
Page 3 of 3
There is no maximum lot size for this district so combining two lots is compliant. The
proposed change is an improvement as it gets rid of an island/no access lot. The proposed
lot appears to meet the dimensional and access requirements and does not conflict
with any local, county, or regional plans.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission considered this item at their June 11, 2025 meeting.
The property owner, Susan Molski, was in attendance. The Planning Commission passed
the motion to recommend approval for the proposed CSM to the Town Board as presented.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The Planning Commission recommends approval of the CSM as presented. Should the
Town Board agree, the following motion may be made:
“Motion to approve Certified Survey Map by petitioner Bob Reider, Carow Land Surveying
and Environmental, on behalf of Susan Molski to combine parcels 002-012415 and 002-
012504 into one parcel. ”

RE: Administrative Processing Fee for Snow Removal on Private Roads
SUMMARY: Per town code §288-2 Snow Removal on Private Roads. Costs:
The cost of plowing private roads shall be divided equally among the parcels
fronting on all the private roads which are plowed. The Town Board shall levy
special charges pursuant to § 66.0627, Wis. Stats., to reimburse the Town for
plowing expense plus the administrative processing fee. Contractors
performing snow removal services shall be required to itemize their billing
showing work performed on private roads at the rate specified in their
contract with the Town. The Town Board shall review these billings annually
and adjust the assessment to reflect actual cost.
Currently, the town totals up all of the bills for the season and adds a10% administrative
processing fee. That amount is then divided by the number of properties (121). The fee is
put on the tax bill with the other fees.
Here are charges per property for the last 3 years using this method:
2024 $27.34
2023 $43.78
2022 $73.47 (did not include Waldwic Ln, if included ~$60.05)
If no changes are made the 2025 charges would be $43.48 per property:
$4,783.25 x 1.10=$5,516.55
$5,516.55/121 = $43.48
I would like the Town Board to consider changing the administrative processing fee to one
that is related to, and covers the costs of, the amount of work/staff time/town resources
rather than a percentage of actual snow removal costs.
It is estimated that town staff time and resources to administer this service amounts to
$1,000 per year. This figure includes all of the time and resources for staff and town
officials to administer this service including but not limited to the contract,
communications, billing and taxes. This equates to $8.26 per property for cost recovery. It
is recommended that this amount be increased annually by an amount no less than 3% but
not more than the Consumer Price Index. This would be considered annually by the board.
Using this cost recovery method, the 2025 charges would be $47.79 per property:
$4,783.25/121=$39.53
$39.53 + $8.26 = $47.79
Some other options would be increasing the percentage of snow removal costs and
charging both the percentage of snow removal costs plus a cost recovery.
The following are options for the Board to consider for the administrative processing fee:
2025 Estimated
Charge per Property
Option 1: Cost recovery of $1,000 $47.79
Option 2: 20% of snow removal costs $47.44
Option 3: 10% of snow removal costs and Cost Recovery of $1,000 $51.74
Option 4: 20% of snow removal costs and Cost Recovery of $1,000 $55.70
Staff recommend Option 1.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommend Option 1, charging $1,000 for cost recovery
as the administrative processing fee. Should the Town Board agree the following motion
may be made:
“Motion to approve a total annual Administrative Processing Fee of $1,000 to be divided by
and charged to the properties receiving private snow removal services. ”

RE: Town Road Setback Waiver Authorization for Tommy’s Carwash
SUMMARY:
As reported to the board last month, the Tommy’s Carwash construction was halted in
early May by the county due to permitting and zoning issues.
Since that time the developer and property owner have been in discussions with the town
and county on a way to resolve the issue. One issue remaining at the time of this memo are
structures in a street setback along Brooks Lane.
The carwash team found a provision of Chapter 23 of the Winnebago County and Zoning
Code that states a setback requirement from an officially mapped road may be waived
upon written authorization from the authorized official of the municipality responsible for
the official mapping. The town municipal code has a chapter official mapping which may
grant us this authority. I have included Chapter 248 for your reference.
The carwash team has asked the town to see if Brooks Lane is on the official map but at the
time of this memo the town has not received a formal written request to consider a waiver
of this setback requirement.
I wanted to discuss this situation with the board. Even if the town has the authority to grant
a waiver and it is on the map, further consultation with legal counsel on this matter is
advised. I will provide any further updates to the board at the time of the meeting.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: None

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
To: Honorable Town Chairperson and Town Supervisors
From: Maggie Mahoney, Administrator
Date: June 18, 2025
RE: Town Hall boiler replacement
SUMMARY:
Attached are the quotes and correspondence received for quotes and a summary of the process
and outcome for replacement of the town hall boiler.
Two quotes were received:
Automated Comfort Controls: Quote for $23,050.00 excludes some items which could
add as much as $3,000.
Gartman Mechanical Services Inc: Quote for $24,970.00 for total price. Additional costs
are possible.
Gartman Mechanical Services is the vendor that regularly maintains and services the town hall
HVAC systems. While their base quote is more than the other quote, it is most likely more
accurate because they are familiar with the building and system, and the additional $3,000 in
expected costs for the other quote makes these quotes approximately equal.
FUNDING: This expense was not included in the 2025 budget. The expense will be tracked as a
capital expense and the following operating funds would be reallocated to cover it:
$18,260 Public Works Health Insurance (100-00-53100-132-000). This cost was budgeted
but not needed for this position.
$ 3,000 Town Hall Improvements (100-00-51600-820-000)
$ 3,710 Land Use/Zoning Engineering (100-00-56400-453-000). Utilizing the $6,500 in
savings for the Municipal Complex Needs Analysis Study.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommend Gartman for the reasons noted above and using
the identified funding. Should the Town Board agree the following motion may be made:
“Motion to approve the purchase of a boiler for town hall with Gartman Mechanical Services, Inc
for an estimated cost of $24,970.00.”

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
To: Honorable Town Chairperson and Town Supervisors
From: Maggie Mahoney, Administrator
Date: June 18, 2025
RE: Petition of Winnebago County for the proposed code text amendment changes
affecting the Winnebago County Shoreland Zoning Code, Chapter 27, of the
Winnebago County General Code.
SUMMARY:
The Town received the proposed code text amendment for Chapter 27 of the Winnebago
County Shoreland Zoning Ordinance by email on Tuesday, June 10, 2025. The email also
notified the Town that there is a public hearing on this matter on July 1, 2025.
The instructions are to submit this text amendment for review during the next Town Board
meeting and to submit a response regarding this item before or within 10 days of the public
hearing.
We received the attached proposed re-written Chapter 27; however, no mark-up or notes of
the changes were included.
In response to my request for more information, Planning and Zoning let me know on 6/12/25
that this change will not effect the town as we are under comprehensive county zoning and
they will be providing a summary of the changes and intent of the change before our board
meeting--but I do not have that at the time of this memo.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends approval of the amendments as presented.
Should the Town Board have a response to any of the proposed changes, staff request that
those responses be included in the motion. Should the Town Board agree with the changes
as presented, the following motion may be made:
“Motion to approve the Petition of Winnebago County for the proposed code text
amendment changes affecting the Winnebago County Shoreland Zoning Code, Chapter 27,
of the Winnebago County General Code. ”

PREFACE
PURPOSE
This County Shoreland Zoning Ordinance is written to reflect the objectives and requirements of s. 59.692,
Stats, and ch. NR 115, Wis. Admin. Code, and represents the way for counties to meet the requirements of
s. NR 115.06(2)(b)1, Wis. Admin. Code, to adopt legal shoreland zoning standards. A county ordinance
may achieve more effective shoreland management than what may be afforded by the model ordinance
alone by creating standards for topics in NR 115 without specific standards and/or by addressing other
matters that may be regulated.
This ordinance is the latest update of the Wisconsin Shoreland Protection Ordinance which was
developed by the Department of Natural Resources in December of 1967. The initial revision was
necessary when ch. NR 115 was repealed and recreated in November 1980 to include wetland protection
in shoreland areas. Since then, numerous revisions have been made to the model ordinance to reflect
changes to s. 59.692, Stats, and/or NR 115 over time. As experience, case law, and statutory revisions
demand, the DNR model ordinance will be revised to stay consistent with current standards.
STATUTORY REFERENCES
Throughout this code, the Department has referenced the section of s. 59.692, Stats., ch. NR 115, Wis.
Admin. Code (or alternatively NR 115), or other Statute or Administrative Code that particular portion of the
model is based on. A county is not required to adopt these references in its ordinance but may utilize the
references for organizational purposes or for better understanding during ordinance development.
NOTICE, HEARING, AND CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE
A Class 2 notice under Ch. 985, Stats, is required prior to holding a public hearing regarding or a county
adopting a revised shoreland zoning ordinance. A Class 2 notice consists of publication of the hearing
notice on 2 consecutive weeks, the last at least 7 days prior to the hearing. Notice of the proposed hearing
shall be provided to the appropriate Department of Natural Resources staff person. Subsequently, the
county shall provide the Department of Natural Resources with a copy of the adopted ordinance language,
and a signed and dated copy of the county board resolution or decision document that includes the
resolution or ordinance number on it. The Department of Natural Resources shall review the adopted
county shoreland zoning ordinance and prepare a certificate of compliance, as appropriate, that is mailed
to the county clerk.
NOTE: The department recommends the county submit draft ordinance amendments for review prior to
moving to the public hearing phase.
MISCELLANEOUS
Note the following shoreland zoning-related regulations that are not typical to include within the ordinance
itself:
Section 59.692(1d)(a), Stats, prohibits this shoreland zoning ordinance (an ordinance enacted under s.
59.692, Stats) from regulating a matter more restrictively than the matter is regulated by a shoreland
zoning standard.
Section 59.692(1d)(b), Stats, allows this shoreland zoning ordinance (an ordinance enacted under s.
59.692, Stats) to regulate a matter that is not regulated by a shoreland zoning standard.
Per s. 59.692(1)(c), Stats, a “shoreland zoning standard” means a standard for ordinances enacted
under s. 59.692, Stats, that is promulgated as a rule by the department (Wisconsin DNR). In
6
P&Z Committee Public Hearing 07/01/2025
practical terms a shoreland zoning standard is one of the seven standards under s. NR 115.05(1).
Section 59.692(1f)(a), Stats, prohibits counties from requiring a property owner to establish a vegetative
buffer zone on previously developed land or expand an existing vegetative buffer zone. However, as part
of a county’s shoreland mitigation standards or enforcement where vegetation removal is prohibited, the
establishment or expansion of the vegetative buffer may remain an option.
Section 59.692(1f)(b), Stats, allows counties to require a property owner to maintain a vegetative buffer
zone that existed on July 14, 2015, in concert with the provisions of s. 9.2(2) of this model ordinance.
Section 59.692(1k)(a)1, Stats, establishes that this ordinance may not require any approval to install or
maintain outdoor lighting in shorelands, impose any fee or mitigation requirement to install or maintain
outdoor lighting in shorelands, or otherwise prohibit or regulate outdoor lighting in shorelands if the lighting
is designed or intended for residential use.
Section 59.692(7), Stats, establishes that the construction and maintenance of a facility is considered to
satisfy the requirements of a county shoreland zoning ordinance enacted under s. 59.692, Stats, if any of
the following applies:
(a) The department has issued all required permits or approvals authorizing the construction
or maintenance under Ch. 30, 31, 281, or 283.
(b) No department permit or approval under subsection (a) is required for the construction or
maintenance and the construction or maintenance is conducted in a manner that employs best
management practices to infiltrate or otherwise control stormwater water runoff from the
facility.
A "facility" means any property or equipment of a public utility, as defined in s. 196.01 (5), Stats, or a
cooperative association organized under Ch. 185 for the purpose of producing or furnishing heat,
light, or power to its members only, that is used for the transmission, delivery, or furnishing of natural
gas, heat, light, or power.
Section 59.692(2m), Stats, establishes that this ordinance may not regulate the construction of a structure
on a substandard lot in a manner that is more restrictive than the shoreland zoning standards for
substandard lots.

CHAPTER 27 SHORELAND ZONING CODE
1.0 STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION, FINDING OF FACT, STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND TITLE.
1.1 STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION. This ordinance is adopted pursuant to the authorization in s.
59.692, Stats, to implement 59.692 and 281.31, Stats.
1.2 FINDING OF FACT. Uncontrolled use of the shorelands and pollution of the navigable waters of
Winnebago County will adversely affect the public health, safety, convenience, and general welfare and
impair the tax base. The legislature of Wisconsin has delegated responsibility to the counties to further the
maintenance of safe and healthful conditions; prevent and control water pollution; protect spawning
grounds, fish and aquatic life; control building sites, placement of structures and land uses; and to reserve
shore cover and natural beauty. This responsibility is hereby recognized by Winnebago County, Wisconsin.
1.3 PURPOSE AND INTENT. (s. 281.31(1), Stats, s. 59.692(1c), Stats, NR 115.01) To promote and
protect the public trust in navigable waters and to effect the purposes of s. 281.31, Stats, by aiding in the
fulfillment of the state’s role as trustee of its navigable waters; limiting the direct and cumulative impacts of
shoreland development; and promoting the public health, safety, convenience and general welfare, this
ordinance has been established to:
(1) FURTHER THE MAINTENANCE OF SAFE AND HEALTHFUL CONDITIONS AND PREVENT
AND CONTROL WATER POLLUTION THROUGH:
(a) Limiting structures to those areas where soil and geological conditions will provide a safe
foundation.
(b) Establishing minimum lot sizes to provide adequate area for private on-site waste
treatment systems.
(c) Controlling filling and grading to prevent soil erosion problems.
(d) Limiting impervious surfaces to control runoff which carries pollutants.
(2) PROTECT SPAWNING GROUNDS, FISH AND AQUATIC LIFE THROUGH:
(a) Preserving wetlands and other fish and aquatic habitat.
(b) Regulating pollution sources.
(c) Controlling shoreline alterations, dredging and lagooning.
(3) CONTROL BUILDING SITES, PLACEMENT OF STRUCTURES AND LAND USES THROUGH:
(a) Prohibiting certain uses detrimental to the shoreland-wetlands.
(b) Setting minimum lot sizes and widths.
(c) Setting minimum building setbacks from waterways.
(d) Setting the maximum height of near shore structures.
(4) RESERVE SHORE COVER AND NATURAL BEAUTY
(a) Restricting the removal of natural shoreland cover.
(b) Preventing shoreline encroachment by structures.
(c) Controlling shoreland excavation and other earth moving activities.
(d) Regulating the use and placement of boathouses and other structures.
1.4 TITLE. Chapter 27 Shoreland Zoning Code for Winnebago County, Wisconsin.
2.0 GENERAL PROVISIONS.
2.1 AREAS TO BE REGULATED. (NR 1115.02) Areas regulated by this ordinance shall include all the
lands (referred to herein as shorelands) in the unincorporated areas of Winnebago County which are:
8
P&Z Committee Public Hearing 07/01/2025
(1) Within one thousand (1,000) feet of the ordinary high-water mark of navigable lakes, ponds or
flowages or within one thousand (1,000) feet of the high-water mark of navigable glacial pothole lakes
or to the landward side of the floodplain, whichever distance is greater. (NR 115.03(8))
(59.692(1)(b)1).
NOTE 1: Glacial till lakes are glacial depressions filled with water – typically isolated from one another
with respect to surface drainage. They accumulate water from precipitation, overland runoff, groundwater
and lose water through evaporation and seepage to groundwater. Glacial till lakes are also known
commonly as kettle lakes.
NOTE 2: Kettles are distinct, steep sided depressions left in an outwash plain or ground moraine resulting
from the later melting of ice blocks buried by the outwash or till during deposition. Kettles can range in size
from small bowls less than 100 feet across to large pits encompassing several acres. This definition is
from the Wisconsin DOT Geotechnical Manual March 1, 2017.
(2) Within three hundred (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. (NR 115.03(8))
(3) The provisions of this chapter apply to regulation of the use and development of unincorporated
shoreland areas. Unless specifically exempted by law, all cities, villages, towns, counties and, when
s. 13.48 (13), Stats, applies, state agencies are required to comply with, and obtain all necessary permits
under, local shoreland ordinances. The construction, reconstruction, maintenance or repair of state
highways and bridges carried out under the direction and supervision of the Wisconsin Department of
Transportation is not subject to local shoreland zoning ordinances if s. 30.2022 (1m), Stats, applies. (NR
115.02) Shoreland zoning requirements in annexed or incorporated areas are provided in s. 61.353 and
s. 62.233, Stats.
(4) Determinations of navigability and ordinary high-water mark location shall initially be made by the
zoning administrator. When questions arise, the zoning administrator may contact the appropriate office
of the Department for a final determination of navigability or ordinary high-water mark. The county may
work with surveyors with regard to s. 59.692(1h).
(5) Under s. 281.31(2m), Stats, notwithstanding any other provision of law or administrative rule
promulgated thereunder, this shoreland zoning ordinance does not apply to:
(a) Lands adjacent to farm drainage ditches if:
1. Such lands are not adjacent to a natural navigable stream or river;
2. Those parts of such drainage ditches adjacent to such lands were not navigable
streams before ditching; and
(b) Lands adjacent to artificially constructed drainage ditches, ponds or stormwater retention
basins that are not hydrologically connected to a natural navigable water body.
2.2 COMPLIANCE. The use of any land; the size, shape and placement of lots; the use, size, type and location
of structures on lots; the filling, grading, lagooning, and dredging of any lands; the cutting of shoreland
vegetation; and the subdivision of lots shall be in full compliance with the terms of this ordinance and other
applicable local, state or federal regulations. Buildings, other structures, and land disturbances (including filling
and grading, etc.) shall require a permit unless otherwise expressly excluded by a provision of this ordinance.
2.3 MUNICIPALITIES AND STATE AGENCIES REGULATED. Unless specifically exempted by law, all
cities, villages, towns, and counties are required to comply with this ordinance and obtain all necessary
permits. State agencies are required to comply when s. 13.48(13), Stats, applies. The construction,
reconstruction, maintenance and repair of state highways and bridges by the Wisconsin Department of
Transportation are exempt when s. 30.2022(1m), Stats, applies.
2.4 ABROGATION AND GREATER RESTRICTIONS. (s. 59.692(5), Stats) The provisions of this ordinance
supersede any provisions in a county zoning ordinance that solely relate to shorelands. In other
9
P&Z Committee Public Hearing 07/01/2025
words if a zoning standard only applies to lands that lie within the shoreland and applies because the lands are in
shoreland, then this ordinance supersedes those provisions. However, where an ordinance adopted under a
statute other than s. 59.692, Stats, does not solely relate to shorelands and is more restrictive than this ordinance,
for example a floodplain ordinance, that ordinance shall continue in full force and effect to the extent of the
greater restrictions.
(1) (s. 59.692(2)(a), Stats) This ordinance shall not require approval or be subject to disapproval by any
town or town board.
(2) (s. 59.692(2)(b), Stats) If an existing town ordinance relating to shorelands is more restrictive than
this ordinance or any amendments thereto, the town ordinance continues in all respects to the extent of
the greater restrictions but not otherwise.
(3) This ordinance is not intended to repeal, abrogate or impair any existing deed restrictions,
covenants or easements. However, where this ordinance imposes greater restrictions, the
provisions of this ordinance shall prevail.
(4) (s. 59.692(2)(c)) This ordinance shall accord and be consistent with any comprehensive zoning plan
or general zoning ordinance applicable, so far as practicable.
(5) (s. 59.692(1d)(b), Stats) This ordinance may establish standards to regulate matters that are not
regulated by a shoreland zoning standard under NR 115.05(1) and that further the purposes of shoreland
zoning as described in section 1.3 of this ordinance.
(a) Standards which further the purposes of shoreland zoning include but are not limited to zoning,
floodplain zoning, airport zoning, subdivision/platting, non-metallic mining/reclamation, and
stormwater/erosion control.
(6) (s. 59.692(1k)(a)3, Stats) This ordinance may not require any inspection or upgrade of a
structure before the sale or other transfer of the structure may be made.
2.5 SEVERABILITY. If any portion of this ordinance is adjudged unconstitutional or invalid by a court of
competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this ordinance shall not be affected.
3.0 SHORELAND-WETLAND DISTRICT. (NR 115.04)
3.1 PURPOSE. This district is created to maintain safe and healthful conditions, to prevent water pollution, to
protect fish spawning grounds and wildlife habitat, to preserve shore cover and natural beauty and to control
building and development in wetlands within the shoreland zone. When development is permitted in a wetland,
the development should occur in a manner that minimizes adverse impacts upon the wetland.
3.2 DESIGNATION. This district shall include all wetlands shown in the most recent version of the
Wisconsin Wetland Inventory as depicted on the Department of Natural Resources Surface Water Data
Viewer.
3.3 SHORELAND-WETLAND MAPS. The most recent version of the Wisconsin Wetland Inventory as
depicted on the Department of Natural Resources Surface Water Data Viewer is made part of this
ordinance. The maps can be viewed at
https://dnrmaps.wi.gov/H5/?Viewer=SWDV
(1) LOCATING SHORELAND-WETLAND BOUNDARIES. (NR 115.04(2)(b)2.note) Where an
apparent discrepancy exists between the shoreland-wetland district boundary shown on the Wisconsin
Wetland Inventory and actual field conditions, the county shall contact the Department to determine if the
map is in error. If the Department determines that a particular area was incorrectly mapped as wetland or
meets the wetland definition but was not shown as wetland on the map, the county shall have the
authority to immediately grant or deny a shoreland zoning permit in accordance with the applicable
regulations based on the Department determination as to whether the area is wetland. In order to correct
wetland mapping errors on the official zoning map, an official zoning map amendment must be initiated
within a reasonable period of time.

P&Z Committee Public Hearing 07/01/2025
3.4 PERMITTED USES. (NR 115.04(3)) NR 115 currently contains absolute standards for permitted uses
in shoreland wetlands which cannot be made more or less restrictive. NR 115 does not prohibit counties to
protect wetlands outside of the shoreland jurisdictional area.
The following uses shall be allowed, subject to general shoreland zoning regulations contained in this
ordinance:
(1) Activities and uses which do not require the issuance of a zoning permit, but which must be
carried out without any filling, flooding, draining, dredging, ditching, tiling or excavating:
(a) Hiking, fishing, trapping, hunting, swimming, and boating;
(b) The harvesting of wild crops, such as marsh hay, ferns, moss, wild rice, berries, tree fruits,
and tree seeds, in a manner that is not injurious to the natural reproduction of such crops;
(c) The pasturing of livestock and the construction and maintenance of fences;
(d) The cultivation of agricultural crops;
(e) The practice of silviculture, including the planting, thinning, and harvesting of timber; and
(f) The construction or maintenance of duck blinds.
(2) Uses which require the issuance of a zoning permit and must be carried out without any filling,
flooding, draining, dredging, ditching, tiling or excavating:
(a) The construction or maintenance of piers, docks or walkways built on pilings above the OHWM.
(b) The construction or maintenance of nonresidential buildings, provided that all of the
following apply:
1. The building is essential for and used solely in conjunction with the raising of
waterfowl, minnows or other wetland or aquatic animals; or used solely for a
purpose which is compatible for wetland preservation;
2. The building cannot, as a practical matter, be located outside the wetland;
3. Such building is not designed for human habitation and does not exceed 500 sq.

P&Z Committee Public Hearing 07/01/2025
4.0 MINIMUM LOT SIZE FOR CONFORMING LOTS. (NR 115.05(1))
4.1 PURPOSE. (NR 115.05(1)(a)) Minimum lot sizes in the shoreland area have been established to
afford protection against danger to health, safety and welfare, and protection against pollution of the
adjacent body of water. In calculating the minimum area or width of a lot, the beds of navigable waters
shall not be included.
4.2 SEWERED LOTS. (NR 115.05(1)(a)1) For each lot served by public sanitary sewer the minimum lot
area shall be 10,000 sq. ft. and the minimum average lot width shall be 65 feet with at least 65 feet of
frontage width at the ordinary high-water mark.
4.3 UNSEWERED LOTS. (NR 115.05(1)(a)2) For each lot not served by public sanitary sewer the
minimum lot area shall be 20,000 sq. ft. and the minimum average lot width shall be 100 feet with at least
100 feet of frontage width at the ordinary high-water mark.
5.0 SUBSTANDARD LOTS. (NR 115.05(1)(a)3)
5.1 SUBSTANDARD LOT ALLOWANCES. A legally created lot or parcel that met minimum area and
minimum average width requirements when created, but does not meet current lot size requirements, may
be used as a building site if all of the following apply:
(1) The substandard lot or parcel was never reconfigured or combined with another lot or parcel by
plat, survey, or consolidation by the owner into one property tax parcel.
(2) The substandard lot or parcel has never been developed with one or more of its structures
placed partly upon an adjacent lot or parcel.
(3) The substandard lot or parcel is developed to comply with all other ordinance requirements.
NOTE: The intent of this provision is to allow lots that were legally created that currently do not meet the
minimum lot width and area requirements to be considered a building site provided all ordinance
requirements can be met. Substandard lots that have been reconfigured by a certified survey map or
consolidated into one legal description with the register of deeds, which result in a larger (closer to
conforming) lot should be allowed to be utilized as a building site. Additionally, lots that have a legal
description for each substandard lot on record with the Register of Deeds but have one tax parcel number
assigned by the Real Property Lister or Assessor for taxing/assessing purposes should be considered
separate building sites and should not be considered consolidated. Lots that have had development over
the lot lines should be combined with a legal description and recorded with a new deed prior to new
development occurring.
14
P&Z Committee Public Hearing 07/01/2025
5.2 OTHER SUBSTANDARD LOTS. Except for lots which meet the requirements of section 5.1 a building
permit for the improvement of a lot having lesser dimensions than those stated in sections 4.2 and 4.3 shall
be issued only if a variance is granted by the board of adjustment.
6.0 ILLEGALLY CREATED LOTS.
6.1 LIMITATIONS. An illegally created lot is one that was created in violation of the required minimum area
and minimum average width requirements of the County’s shoreland zoning ordinance at the time of
creation. Illegally created lots shall not be used for construction purposes without the granting of a variance.
7.0 SETBACKS. (NR 115.05(1)(b))
7.1 PURPOSE. (NR 115.05(1)(b)) Setbacks within the shoreland area have been established to conform
to health, safety and welfare requirements, preserve natural beauty, reduce flood hazards, protect against
water pollution, and otherwise limit the direct and cumulative impacts of shoreland development of the
adjacent water body.
7.2 SHORELAND SETBACK. (s. 59.692(1n)(am), Stats, and NR115.05(1)(b)1) A setback of 75 feet from
the ordinary high water mark of any navigable water to the nearest part of a building or structure shall be
required.
7.3 REDUCED SHORELAND SETBACK FOR A NEW PRINCIPAL STRUCTURE.
(1) EXISTING PRINCIPAL STRUCTURES IN BOTH DIRECTIONS (I.E. TWO-SIDED
AVERAGING). (s. 59.692(1n)(b), Stats) Where there are existing principal structures in both
directions of a new proposed principal structure, a shoreland setback less than the required 75-foot
setback from the ordinary high water mark of section 7.2 shall be permitted for a new proposed
principal structure provided all of the following are met:
(a) Both of the existing principal structures are located on lots immediately adjacent to the lot
of the proposed new principal structure.
(b) Both of the existing principal structures are located within 250 feet of the proposed new
principal structure.
(c) Both of the existing principal structures are the closest principal structure on their
respective lots to the new proposed principal structure.
(d) Both of the existing principal structures are located less than 75 feet from the ordinary
high-water mark.

existing principal structures are set back from the ordinary high-water mark.
(f) The reduced shoreland setback shall not be reduced to less than 35 feet from the ordinary
high-water mark.
NOTE: Section 59.692(1d)(a), Stats, requires counties to adopt the standards for two-sided averaging
consistent with section 7.3(1) for reducing the shoreland setback.
(2) EXISTING PRINCIPAL STRUCTURES IN ONLY ONE DIRECTION (I.E. ONE-SIDED
AVERAGING). (s. 59.692(1n)(bm), Stats) Where there is an existing principal structure in only one
direction of a new proposed principal structure, a shoreland setback less than the required 75’
setback from the ordinary high water mark of section 7.2 may be permitted for a new proposed
principal structure provided all of the following are met:
(a) The existing principal structure is located on a lot immediately adjacent to the lot of the
proposed new principal structure.
(b) The existing principal structure is located within 250 feet of the proposed new principal
structure.
15
P&Z Committee Public Hearing 07/01/2025
(c) The existing principal structure is the closest principal structure on its lot to the new
proposed principal structure.
(d) The existing principal structure is located less than 75 feet from the ordinary high-water
mark.
(e) The reduced shoreland setback shall equal the average of 75 feet and the distance that
the existing principal structure is set back from the ordinary high-water mark.
(f) The reduced shoreland setback shall not be reduced to less than 35 feet from the ordinary
high-water mark.
NOTE: Adopting the standards for one-sided averaging consistent with section 7.3(2) for reducing the
shoreland setback is optional, and not required.
7.4 RESERVED
7.5 EXEMPT STRUCTURES IN THE SHORELAND SETBACK AREA. (s. 59.692(1n)(d), Stats, s.
59.692(1k)(a)(6), Stats, NR 115.05(1)(b)1m) All of the following structures are exempt from the shoreland

(d) The county must approve a plan that will be implemented by the owner of the property to
preserve or establish a vegetative buffer zone that covers at least 70% of the half of the
shoreland setback area that is nearest to the water.
NOTE: The statutory requirement under 59.692(1v)(d) to preserve or establish a vegetative buffer zone for
the construction of structures under 59.692(1v) is not superseded by 59.692(1f)(a).
NOTE: Retaining walls are unable to meet all of the requirements of s. 59.692(1v), Stats .

17
P&Z Committee Public Hearing 07/01/2025
9.0 VEGETATION. (NR 115.05(1)(c))
9.1 PURPOSE. (NR 115.05(1)(c)1) To protect natural scenic beauty, fish and wildlife habitat, and water
quality, vegetation removal shall be regulated in a manner to protect water quality and reduce soil erosion
and the flow of effluents, sediments and nutrients.
9.2 ACTIVITIES ALLOWED WITHIN A VEGETATIVE BUFFER ZONE. (s. 59.692(1f)(b), Stats, NR
115.05(1)(c)2) A vegetative buffer zone is maintained or created to protect water quality, fish and wildlife
habitat and natural scenic beauty, and to promote the preservation and restoration of native vegetation.
The vegetative buffer zone is the area that extends from the ordinary high-water mark to 35 feet landward.
Removal or destruction of vegetation in the vegetative buffer zone shall be prohibited except as follows:
(1) Routine maintenance of vegetation which means normally accepted horticultural practices that
do not result in the loss of any layer of existing vegetation and do not require earth disturbance.
(2) The removal or destruction of vegetation for the creation of an access and viewing corridor
provided the following requirements are met:
(a) The access and viewing corridor remains a strip of vegetated land for the purpose of
providing safe pedestrian access to the shore through the vegetative buffer zone.
(b) The access and viewing corridor may be 35% of the shoreline frontage but in no case shall
it be less than 10 feet or greater than 200 feet.
(c) The viewing corridor may run contiguously for the entire maximum width allowed based on
the shoreline frontage owned.
NOTE 1: Regarding section 9.2(2)(b) there is no prohibition for the establishment of an access and
viewing corridor of less than 10 feet in width.
NOTE 2: The county may require a property owner to maintain a vegetative buffer zone that existed
on July 14, 2015, in concert with the provisions of s. 9.2(2).
(3) The removal of trees and shrubs on a parcel with 10 or more acres of forested land consistent
with “generally accepted forestry management practices” as defined in NR 1.25(2)(b), Wis. Adm.
Code, and described in Department publication “Wisconsin Forest Management Guidelines”
(publication FR-226), provided that vegetation removal be consistent with these practices.
(4) The removal of vegetation to manage exotic or invasive species, damaged vegetation,
vegetation that must be removed to control disease, or vegetation creating an imminent safety
hazard provided that any vegetation removed be replaced by replanting in the same area with native
species as soon as practicable.
(5) The County may authorize by permit additional vegetation management activities such as
prescribed burns or other vegetation management or removal activities where there is a
demonstrable need for the additional management activity. Any permit issued by the County under
this section shall include an enforceable restriction to preserve the newly restored area. Prior to
issuing a permit under this Section, the County shall require the following information to be provided
by the permittee:
(a) Detailed plans documenting the need and purpose are submitted and approved by the
County.
(b) Sufficient information within the plans showing that it is designed to:
1. control erosion by limiting sedimentation into the waterbody;
2. improve the plant community by replanting in the same area; and
3. maintain and monitor the newly restored area.
Note: Section 59.692(1f)(a), Stats, prohibits counties from requiring a property owner to establish a
18
P&Z Committee Public Hearing 07/01/2025
vegetative buffer zone on previously developed land or expand an existing vegetative buffer zone.
However, as part of a county’s shoreland mitigation standards or enforcement where vegetation removal is
prohibited, the establishment or expansion of the vegetative buffer may remain an option.
10.0 FILLING, GRADING, LAGOONING. DREDGING, DITCHING, AND EXCAVATING.
(NR115.05(1)(d))
10.1 PURPOSE. To protect natural scenic beauty, fish and wildlife habitat, and water quality, land
disturbances may be allowed and authorized only if done in a manner designed to minimize erosion,
sedimentation and impairment of fish and wildlife habitat and natural scenic beauty.
10.2 APPLICABILITY. Filling, grading, lagooning, dredging, ditching, and excavating may be authorized
by permit according to sections 10.3 and 10.4, and only if done in a manner that meets the purpose of
section 10.1.
NOTE 1: In addition to meeting the provisions of section 10.2, filling, grading, lagooning, dredging,
ditching, and excavating may also be allowed and authorized only in accordance with the requirements of
ch. 30, Stats, and other state and federal laws where applicable, and only if done in a manner that meets
the purpose of section 10.1.
NOTE 2: In order to allow land disturbances that meet the purposes of section 10.1 the department offers
and strongly suggests sections 10.3 and 10.4 as a permit system for land disturbance activities that a
county may adopt for implementing section 10.2:
10.3 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS. In order to implement section 10.2, a permit for filling, grading,
lagooning, dredging, ditching or excavating within in the shoreland area may be granted provided that:
(1) A permit is required to be issued for filling, grading, lagooning, dredging, ditching, or excavating
within 300 feet of the ordinary high-water mark of navigable waters.
NOTE: A county may continue to permit land disturbances to depths currently identified and justified
within their shoreland zoning ordinance that differ from 300 feet from the ordinary high-water mark of
navigable waters.
(2) It is not done within the vegetative buffer zone unless necessary for establishing or expanding
the vegetative buffer or for the construction of an exempt structure under section 7.5.
(3) It is done in a manner designed to minimize erosion, sedimentation and impairment of fish and
wildlife habitat.
(4) Filling, grading, lagooning, dredging, ditching or excavating in a shoreland-wetland district meets
the requirements of section 3.
(5) All applicable federal, state, and local authority is obtained in addition to a permit under this
ordinance.
(6) Any fill placed in the shoreland area is protected against erosion by the use of vegetative cover
or stabilized in another acceptable and approved manner.
10.4 PERMIT CONDITIONS. In granting a permit under section 10.3(1), attach any of the following
conditions, as appropriate:
(1) The smallest amount of bare ground shall be exposed for as short a time as feasible.
(2) Temporary ground cover (such as mulch or jute netting) shall be used and permanent vegetative
19
P&Z Committee Public Hearing 07/01/2025
cover shall be established.
(3) Diversion berms or bales, silting basins, terraces, filter fabric fencing, and other methods shall be
used to prevent erosion.
(4) Lagoons shall be constructed to avoid fish trap conditions.
(5) Fill shall be stabilized according to accepted engineering standards.
(6) Filling shall comply with any local floodplain zoning ordinance and shall not restrict a floodway or
destroy the flood storage capacity of a floodplain.
(7) Construction associated with land disturbances are encouraged to incorporate slopes of two (2)
units horizontal distance to one (1) unit vertical or flatter which shall be promptly vegetated and
stabilized.
(8) Other project-related conditions may be considered.
11.0 IMPERVIOUS SURFACE STANDARDS. (NR 115.05(1)(e))
11.1 PURPOSE. Impervious surface standards shall be established to protect water quality, fish and
wildlife habitat, and to protect against pollution of navigable waters.
11.2 APPLICABILITY. (NR 115.05(1)(e)1) Impervious surface standards shall apply to the construction,
reconstruction, expansion, replacement, or relocation of any impervious surface that is or will be located
within 300 feet of the ordinary high-water mark of any navigable waterway on any of the following:
(1) A riparian lot or parcel.
(2) A non-riparian lot or parcel that is located entirely within 300 feet of the ordinary high-water mark
of any navigable waterway.
11.3 CALCULATION OF PERCENTAGE OF IMPERVIOUS SURFACE. (NR 115.05(1)(e)1m),
59.692(1k)(am)1) Percentage of impervious surface shall be calculated by dividing the surface area of the
existing and proposed impervious surfaces on the portion of a lot or parcel that is within 300 feet of the
ordinary high-water mark by the total surface area of that lot or parcel, and multiplied by 100. Impervious
surfaces described in sections 11.4 and 11.5 shall be excluded from the calculation of impervious surface
on the lot or parcel. If an outlot lies between the ordinary high-water mark and the developable lot or parcel
and both are in common ownership, the lot or parcel and the outlot shall be considered one lot or parcel for
the purposes of calculating the percentage of impervious surface.
NOTE 1: NR 115.05(1)(e)1m clarifies that if an outlot lies between the OHWM and the developed lot or
parcel and both are in common ownership, then the lot or parcel should be considered one property for the
purposes of calculating the percentage of impervious surfaces. If there is an outlot, parcel or road that is
owned by some other entity, for example a hydroelectric facility or a town or county, then the county should
determine what level of control the property owner has over that portion of the lot. Can the property owner
place structures, such as shoreline protection, piers, stairs, boathouses etc.… on that portion of the lot or
does some other entity have control over development? If a property owner has no or little say over
construction on that portion of the lot then impervious surfaces on that portion of the lot should be
calculated separately.
NOTE 2: For properties that have been “condominiumized” the impervious surface calculations apply to
the entire property. The property is still under one legal description and the proposed expansion to a unit is
not the only impervious surface calculated since the regulation states lot or parcel and not a unit. It will be
important to remember also that mitigation applies to the property as a whole and not just to the portion of
20
P&Z Committee Public Hearing 07/01/2025
the frontage that might be in front of the unit impacted.
11.4 TREATED IMPERVIOUS SURFACES. (NR115.05(1)(e)3m and s. 59.692(1k)(am)1, Stats)
Impervious surfaces that can be documented to demonstrate they meet either of the following standards
shall be excluded from the impervious surface calculations under section 11.3:
(1) The impervious surface is treated by devices such as stormwater ponds, constructed wetlands,
infiltration basins, rain gardens, bio-swales or other engineered systems.
(2) The runoff from the impervious surface discharges to an internally drained pervious area that
retains the runoff on or off the parcel and allows infiltration into the soil.
NOTE 1: The provisions in section 11.4 act similarly to an exemption by excluding certain impervious
surfaces from being included in the calculation of impervious surface and as such should be read and
construed narrowly. A property owner is entitled to the exclusion under section 11.4 only when the
property owner can demonstrate (see NOTE 2) that the runoff from a specific and specific area of
impervious surface is being treated by and/or infiltrated consistent with section 11.4. If demonstrated, that
specific impervious surface will not be included in the calculation of impervious surface for the purposes of
implementing the impervious surface standards in this ordinance.
NOTE 2: To qualify for the exclusion under section 11.4, a property owner shall submit a complete permit
application, that is reviewed and approved by the county. The application shall include 1) calculations
showing how much runoff is coming from each of the impervious surface areas and cumulatively on the
property; 2) documentation that the runoff from the impervious surface is being treated by a proposed
treatment system, treatment device, or internally drained area; and 3) an implementation and maintenance
schedule. The county shall create an enforceable obligation with the property owner to establish and
maintain the functional operability of the treatment system, treatment devices, or internally drained
area The enforceable obligations shall be evidenced by an instrument recorded in the office of the Register
of Deeds prior to the issuance of the permit.
NOTE 3: If a property owner or subsequent property owner fails to maintain the treatment system or
treatment device to manufacturer and/or installer operational specifications, and/or maintain the existence
and functional operation of an internally drained area, the associated impervious surface is no longer to be
excluded from the calculation of impervious surface under section 11.3. Under such a scenario the
treatment system or treatment device no longer serves as a means for reducing the impervious surface on
the property owner’s lot and the impervious surface on the property is to be recalculated immediately. If
the percentage of impervious surface exceeds the standard of section 11.6, the standards of section 11.7
shall be met.
NOTE 4: If under section 11.4(2) the runoff does drain to and infiltrate on a parcel other than the property
where development is proposed it must be demonstrated that the runoff is being retained and infiltrated on
the other property. It must also be demonstrated that the runoff is not being directly piped to or otherwise
directed towards the neighboring property unless as a part of a subdivision or PUD plat that contains a
stormwater runoff plan. The area on the existing or neighboring property that is retaining and infiltrating the
runoff must be noted in the county file so that it is not developed in the future. If the parcel that is retaining
and infiltrating the runoff is developed in the future it no longer serves as a means for reducing the
impervious surface on the property owner’s lot. Under such scenario the impervious surface on the
property is to be recalculated immediately. If the percentage of impervious surface exceeds the standard
of section 11.6, the standards of section 11.7 shall be met.

(5) Conformity to state law and administrative code provisions.
20.0 PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD)/ PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (PDD).
(NR 115.05(1)(a)4)
20.1 PURPOSE. The Planned Unit Development is intended to permit smaller non-riparian lots where the
physical layout of the lots is so arranged as to better assure the control of pollution and preservation of
ground cover than would be expected if the lots were developed with the normal lot sizes and setbacks and
without special conditions placed upon the Planned Unit Development at the time of its approval.
20.2 REQUIREMENTS FOR PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS. A Planned Unit Development may be
approved upon finding, after a public hearing, that all of the following facts exist:
(1) AREA. A planned unit development may be allowed on a single lot that is at minimum 2 acres in
size and has a minimum of 200 feet of frontage on a navigable water.
(2) INDIVIDUAL LOTS.
(a) Riparian lots need to meet the requirements of sections 4.2 and 4.3.
(b) Non-riparian lots may be less than the required minimums found in sections 4.2 and 4.3.
The zoning committee shall consider whether the proposed lot sizes and widths provide
adequate building area after considerations of all setbacks and required impervious surface
percentages are met as well as reviewing potential impacts to prevent pollution, erosion and
impacts to natural scenic beauty.
SHORELAND SETBACK. In exchange for the allowance of reduced non-riparian lots, the shoreland setback
shall be greater than 75 feet from the ordinary high-water mark. Recommended setbacks of 100 – 150 feet
from the ordinary highwater mark shall help offset the impacts of the reduced lots on habitat, water quality
and natural scenic beauty. An increased shoreland setback shall be a condition of approval.
31
P&Z Committee Public Hearing 07/01/2025
(3) VEGETATIVE BUFFERS. The vegetative buffer on a lot within a proposed planned unit
development shall be greater than 35 feet landward of the ordinary high-water mark. Recommended
buffers of 50 -70 feet shall help offset the impacts of the reduced lots on habitat, water quality and
natural scenic beauty. An increased vegetative buffer shall be a condition of approval.
(4) IMPERVIOUS SURFACE REQUIREMENTS. All impervious surface requirements shall be met.
There is no relaxation for required impervious surface ratio maximums.
20.3 APPLICATION AND PERMIT REQUIREMENTS.
(1) An application for a conditional use permit shall be required.
(2) Information on the total area of the lot, to-scale map showing location and size of all proposed
lots, any preserved open space, number and type of dwelling units, other buildings and other
requested information to describe the project.
(3) Proposed greater shoreland setback and greater vegetative buffer that offsets the
development impacts for committee consideration.
(4) Location of shoreland-wetlands.
(5) A recorded plat or certified survey map is required prior to any construction activities.
(6) No construction activities shall commence without the issuance of a regular zoning permit for
each structure.
NOTE 1: Counties should be aware that the planned unit development standards, as written, grant back
lot access (key holing) without applying frontage requirement standards to determine overall density, as

23.3 ZONING MAP, DISTRICTS, & PROCEDURES The county is divided into three base zoning districts
so that each parcel of land is located in at least one district. For each of these districts, appropriate types of
34
P&Z Committee Public Hearing 07/01/2025
land uses are identified along with development standards when applicable. In addition to these base zoning
districts, overlay districts are established to accomplish specific purposes not generally applicable to the
entire base districts. Where the requirements of a base district and overlay district conflict, the most restrictive
applies. Examples of overlay districts include but are not limited to floodplain zoning, farmland preservation,
Wittman Regional Airport zoning, Appleton International Airport zoning and other applicable overlays. The
zoning map depicts the location of the base districts used in this Chapter along with some of the overlay
districts as may be appropriate.
(1) Official Zoning Map. The county clerk shall maintain one paper copy of the zoning map as the official
map which shall be signed by the county executive and attested by the county clerk. If there is a
discrepancy between this zoning map and other maps as may be made available, the map maintained
by the county clerk shall control in all instances.
(2) Base zoning districts. Recognizing that different areas of the county serve unique functions; the
county is divided into a number of base zoning districts. Even though some of the districts may share
similar characteristics, they possess one or more unique qualities that set them apart from the other
districts. Although these districts may not now possess each of the attributes in these descriptions, it
is intended that as land uses change over time they more closely reflect the intended uses. Uses are
allowed in the various districts consistent with the development standards in this chapter and any
development limitations as described in Table 23-1. The base zoning districts are as follows:
(a) Agricultural (A) District. This district is intended to accommodate large- and small-scale
agricultural uses, related agricultural support services, large and small-scale farms, hobby
farms, scattered single-family dwellings, residential/agricultural accessory uses, and minor
home occupations. It includes those areas of the county where productive agricultural lands
are common and can be used for the production of forest products, crops, and livestock,
including large livestock operations. Although scattered residential lots are allowed,
agriculture is the common land use. This district should be located in those areas suitable
for agriculture, rural living, and farmland preservation. Lots may be connected to a public
sanitary sewer system or have an on-site sewage disposal system. Residential and Non-
Residential uses may occur within this district based on Table 23-1.
(b) Residential (R) District. This district is intended to accommodate single-family residences,
two-family dwellings, twin homes, multifamily buildings, townhouses, modular homes,
manufactured/mobile home parks, residential accessory uses, and minor home
occupations. Lots are connected to a public sanitary sewer system or have an on-site
sewage disposal system. Non-Residential uses are prohibited in this district.
(c) Non-Residential (NR) District. This district is intended to accommodate both large- and
small-scale commercial and industrial development that serves the needs of the
surrounding community and businesses, as well as activities typically associated with
manufacturing of finished products, storage, and wholesale operations, and other industrial
uses that handle or process raw materials, other large- and small-scale uses often
considered offensive or unique by nature, as well as commercial/industrial accessor y uses.
Uses permitted in this district characteristically occur inside or outside of a building or other
structure, and handling and processing of materials may occur within a building or other
structure or out-of-doors. Lots are connected to a public sanitary sewer system or have an
on-site sewage disposal system. Residential uses are prohibited in this district.
(3) Zoning Map Amendment. The Planning and Zoning Committee shall review, hear, and render
decisions regarding the rezoning of land in shoreland areas.
(a) The General Review Requirements described in Chapter 23, Article 6: Division 1 (23.6- 1 to
23.6-17), Division 2 (23.6-31 to 23.6-42), & Division 3 (23.6-51 to 23.6-55) of the
Winnebago County General Code shall be used to further define the mandated county
agency's responsibilities and review procedures and requirements for the zoning map
amendment procedure.
35
P&Z Committee Public Hearing 07/01/2025
(b) The Specific Review Procedures and Requirements as defined in Chapter 23, Article 7,
Division 1 (23.7-1 to 23.7-9) of the Winnebago County General Code shall be further used
to further define the mandated county agency's responsibilities and review procedures and
requirements for the zoning map amendment procedure.
23.4 AL LOWABLE LAND USES For the purposes of this chapter, land uses, as defined within this chapter
and listed in Table 23-1 are organized by the following base zoning districts: Agricultural (A), Residential (R),
Non-Residential (NR). Because the list of land uses cannot include every conceivable type of activity/use,
those land uses that are listed in Table 23-1 shall be interpreted to include other land uses that are of a
similar nature and have similar impacts to the listed use. A land use that is not listed in Table 23-1 and which
cannot be interpreted to be similar to any listed land use as provided below is prohibited. If a proposed
project includes both an allowable land use and a prohibited land use, the prohibited portion of the project
shall not occur in the zoning district.
