The Village of Maple Bluff, population 1,357, is a small, residential suburb of Madison, the capital
of Wisconsin. Maple Bluff occupies a narrow band on the northeast shoreline of Lake Mendota
where Winnebago Indians once had their summer encampments. The Winnebago were especially
attracted to the northeast side of the lake because of the dense forest of mature maple trees, a
protected area excellent for both hunting and fishing. Lake Mendota shielded this forest home from
the prairie fires that swept northward-thus the dense maple grove on McBride's Point (the "bluff")
from which our Village gets its name.
While at the University of Wisconsin in 1882, Thomas E. Coleman wrote about the Winnebago
encampments on McBride's Point: the Upper Bluff, where mounds were still present when cottages
began to be built there in the 1890's.
Maple Bluff is made up of five separate real estate developments that date from 1892 to1926. Many
residences occupy commanding views along one of the most scenic parts of Lake Mendota.
Maple Bluff's Village limits are defined by Lake Mendota on the west, Sherman Avenue and the
Chicago and Northwestern Railroad on the east, the Yahara River on the south, and Warner Beach
on the north.
A Brief History of Maple Bluff
Until one hundred and fifty years ago, the area that is now known as the Village of Maple Bluff was
a heavily wooded part of Taychopera, the countryside around the famous Four Lakes. Winnebago
Indians camped in Fuller’s Woods and the Upper Bluff, taking advantage of the excellent fishing in
the clear cool waters of Lake Mendota and hunting among the maples and oaks. In season, they
would make sugar and maple syrup.
B
y 1840, most of the Winnebagos’ had been driven out by acts of the Federal Government. Land
developers, notably James Doty, bought vast tracts of Taychopera from the government for $1.25
per acre. James McBride (for years the area was known as McBride’s Bluff) bought the Village site
in 1843, lived here until his death in 1854, and passed the land on to his sons who sold off portions
to, among others, Governor Leonard J. Farwell (hence Farwell Drive).
T
he Bluff was not good farmland, although there once was a cherry orchard on part of what is now
the Maple Bluff Country Club golf course. The woodland soil would not begin to match the nearby
prairies in fertility, and as a pasture-well; the cows had a tendency to fall off the bluff into the lake.
T
hrough most of the rest of the 19th Century and the early years of the 20th Century, the Bluff seemed
attractive only to a few who liked remoteness from the bustle of growing Madison or wanted to
2
enjoy a game recently imported from Scotland. In 1899, the Maple Bluff Golf Club was formed
(with only five holes). The Clubhouse was not constructed until 1925.
In the early 1870’s, there had been only eleven property owners. One of them, a Norwegian
immigrant named Halle Steensland, subdivided his land for summer cottages. He had only a few
takers, but slowly over the years, the area became more desirable, either for summer homes or
permanent residences.
Business and professional people, even the University faculty who wanted to live as far as possible
from the campus, increasingly found the peaceful remoteness attractive.
The Lakewood Land Company, operating out of what is now the Girl Scout Cabin in Firemen’s
Park, tried to sell lots from 1909 on, without great success. Business went slowly until at the bottom
of the Great Depression of the 1930’s; one could buy a nice lot in the Bluff for about $700.
In fact, matters were so bad that the residents petitioned the City of Madison in the late 1920’s
requesting annexation. They were turned down; Maple Bluff was too remote and sparsely
populated.
The Villagers, stimulated by the rejection, financed the paving of their roads, installation of
streetlights, and building of storm sewers. They established their own Fire Department. Lakewood
School (where Johnson Park is now) was built on land donated by a resident. In 1931, the Village of
Maple Bluff was incorporated.
Later, after improvements were in place, Madison changed its mind and asked Maple Bluff to
become part of the city. The Villagers decided to continue to take care of themselves, even though
surrounded by the city and dependant upon it for some services.
There haven’t been great changes since 1931. Lakewood School, despite its elegant appearance, was
razed in 1986 several years after it went into disuse. The old Village Hall was erected in the late
1950’s and replaced by the current Village Center in 1999.
Maple Bluff has retained its character as a predominately singly-family, residential community.
Today’s Villagers may find it difficult to realize that it might have been otherwise. A hundred years
ago a large icehouse (clear, pure Lake Mendota ice was in great demand throughout the Midwest)
and a sausage factory occupied part of the lakefront in the Lower Bluff. Just outside the present
Village limits was a brewery. These industrial beginnings disappeared in the 1890’s; apparently, the
area was no more suitable for industry than it was for farming.
John Nolen, Madison’s famed city planner, plotted Lakewood (the Lower Bluff) with numerous
small lots and far more streets than now exist. The Lakewood Land Company rejected his plan in
favor of the present, more spacious arrangement. Thus, the Village is pleasantly different from most
of the older residential areas on the east side of Madison.
Many present and former residents think Maple Bluff is a special place for children to grow up.

Community” by Douglas McLean (1975).

ballot machines and the ability to support voters by answering their questions, providing voting
support if requested and to assist in any capacity to assure that all votes will be counted.

worker shifts vary with some people working all day and other shifts that consist of 6, 4 or 3 hours.
Workers are compensated financially for their time spent working at the polls.
The GAB requires that all poll workers be trained prior to working. Election Inspectors and Chief
Election Inspectors require baseline training as well as additional specified training every 2 years.
GAB schedules classes and/or provides pertinent materials for training.
We would like to encourage people to sign up to be an Election Worker to support this important

GENERAL INFORMATION
DISCLAIMER:
This is an informational packet only. Maple Bluff building codes and municipal ordinances as
well as state statutes are the legal standards governing building and construction practices. It is
not intended that this packet conflict or interfere with any ordinance or statute. If any
discrepancies are identified between this brochure and any legal document, the ordinance or
statute governs.
BUILDING PERMITS & REVIEW BY BUILDING BOARD
The Village of Maple Bluff issues and enforces building permits. However, there is a Building
Board that reviews and approves requests for permits.
The Building Board shall hear and approve or disapprove all applicants' requests including but
not limited to new construction, additions to any existing structure, new windows, window
modifications in terms of proportion, size, detail, color and/or function, new and replacement
windows, exterior siding, new or replacement fences, swimming pools, tennis courts,
retail/commercial signs in the "A" Business District, miscellaneous and accessory buildings
including storage sheds, play structures and alterations which involve a significant change in the
exterior appearance of an existing structure. Projects which do not require the approval of the
Building Board but still require a building permit include driveways, interior remodels,
mechanical installations, roof replacements and identical window replacements which conform
to the original design intent of the structure as determined by the Village Administrator.
THE PERMIT PROCESS:
It is highly recommended that prior to starting the permit process you review this packet direct
questions that you may have to buildingboard@villageofmaplebluff.com. The next step will be to
submit your application materials to the Village Office during normal business hours (Mon-Fri
7:30-4:30) or online (villageofmaplebluff.com).
Application materials will include detailed plans, photos and other materials as identified in the
APPLICATION MATERIAL CHECKLIST included in this packet. Those plans are reviewed by
the Building Inspector for zoning compliance, though the ultimate responsibility for zoning
compliance rests with the applicant.
The application materials are then presented to the Village Building Board at a public meeting.
Plans are reviewed with the homeowner or other representative to verify compliance with
standards established by municipal ordinance and state statute. Those standards can be found
in this packet and are entitled, BUILDING BOARD CHECKLIST.
1
THE BUILDING BOARD:
The Building Board consists of seven citizens, as least one of whom is a member of the Village
Board of Trustees and serves as chair. The Building Board reviews all submitted applications on
which it is proposed to erect or alter a structure. The Building Board will hear a presentation on
the submitted application from the applicant and/or the owner of the lot where the project is to
take place. The Building Board may also hear any other persons, whether neighboring residents
or property owners, desiring to be heard regarding your project. The Building Board will then
approve or deny the submitted application based upon standards established within the Building
and Zoning Codes. If the application is approved, the Building Inspector will issue a building
permit for the project.
FILING DEADLINE:
The Building Board usually meets the second Tuesday of each month starting at 5:15pm. ALL
application materials MUST be submitted NOT LATER THAN 2:00 p.m., two weeks prior to the
meeting date. You may refer to the checklist in this brochure for a complete list of the required
application materials. IF ALL REQUIRED MATERIALS ARE NOT SUBMITTED BY THE
FILING DEADLINE, YOUR PROJECT WILL NOT BE INCLUDED ON THE AGENDA.
You will then need to wait until the following meeting to have your project heard.
BUILDING BOARD MEETING:
The Building Board agenda is finalized on the filing deadline for application materials. You
should plan to arrive at the Village Center at the designated starting time of the meeting. During
the meeting, you will have opportunity to present your project. It is also common for general
contractors or architects to attend the meeting and present the project. You should have a
complete and final description of all materials to be used during your project. In many cases,
applicants bring samples to the Building Board meeting.
You should refer to the submitted materials during your presentation. After your presentation,
Building Board members may ask questions regarding details of the project. Neighbors or other
residents will be given an opportunity to speak about your project if they choose. After a
discussion period, the Building Board Chair will entertain a motion concerning your project.
The Building Board will then vote in consideration of the motion. After approval by the Building
Board, you will meet with the Building Inspector to obtain all permits required for your project.
FEES:
The fee structure for building permits is approved by the Village Board. You may request a copy
of the fee structure from the Building Inspector or the Clerk’s Office. All fees must be paid prior
to the commencement of the project.
2
YOU SHOULD ALSO BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING:
Building Board members may come to your home to view the site of the project before
the meeting.
In most cases, projects can be approved in one meeting with the Building Board. For
larger projects, especially new construction, there is a minimum of a two step process
before approval. The first step is a schematic design review that focuses on site plan,
building massing, relation to structures on adjacent properties, exterior elevations and
building materials. The second step is a comprehensive review that is a thorough
evaluation of the site plan, floor plans, elevation drawings, building materials and
landscaping plan. In the case of larger projects or new home construction, the Building
Board may also set up a special meeting to hear your request.
All projects that include land disturbance require a clearance of all utilities which can
be accomplished by calling Diggers Hotline at 1-800-242-8511 to locate said utilities.
REFERENCES
Zoning Code information is available on the Village website – www.villageofmaplebluff.com.

APPEALS
Persons who are denied permits have due process options available to review those decisions.
Appeals to the Zoning Board of Appeals may be taken by any person aggrieved or by an officer,
department, board or bureau of the Village within 30 days after the act appealed from by filing
with the Building Inspector a notice of appeal specifying the grounds thereof. The Building
Inspector shall forthwith transmit to the Board of Appeals the notice of appeal and all papers
constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken. The Board shall fix a
reasonable time for the hearing of the appeal, give public notice thereof, as well as due notice to
the parties in interest and decide the same within a reasonable time. Upon the hearing any party

requirements and conform as much as possible with the following guidelines:
[ ] (1) Requirements. Grading shall insure positive drainage consistent with applicable
ordinances of the Village such as erosion control and stormwater codes. All grading
shall allow for the installation and maintenance of appropriate landscape materials.
(2) Guidelines. Grading may create earth forms which add interest to the existing
topography. Respect for the natural topography in site development will also be
important.
b. Landscaping. The landscaping of public and private land in the Village shall meet the
following requirements and conform as much as possible with the following guidelines:
[ ] (1) Requirements. Landscaping shall be used for a functional as well as decorative
purpose, including framing desirable views, screening unattractive features and
views, screening different uses from each other, and complementing the
architectural massing of the building.
(2) Guidelines. Landscaping should express the unique natural beauty of the Village.
There should be a variety of trees and shrubs in group plantings, alternated and
dispersed in order to create some variety. While indigenous species will be favored,
they should be in scale with the buildings and complement the topography.
(a) Landscaping shall be designed to maintain existing mature trees and shrubs to
the maximum extent possible; and
(b) Landscaping shall provide an aesthetically pleasing design and, where
applicable, shall provide for the screening of parking, storage, refuse, and
utility areas from the street and adjacent residential properties.
c. Building Relationships. The siting of structures on public and private land in the
Village shall meet the following requirements and conform as much as possible with
the following guidelines:
5
[ ] (1) Requirements. The structures shall be related to the site to enhance or maintain
current contours. New development shall consider activities on adjacent
properties with relation to access from abutting streets, parking areas, service
areas, building setbacks, height of structures, architectural style and color and
materials of adjacent or nearby buildings, and views of the lake.
(2) Guidelines. In the development of the site, the existing quality vegetation should
ordinarily be maintained. In the siting of new structures, consideration shall be
given to:
(a) Relating attractively to neighboring properties and existing landscape forms.
(b) Recognizing the unique beauty of the lakeshore as well as the established
pattern of our community.
(c) Providing enhanced development of Village property.
(d) The scale and the placement of the structure on the site shall be appropriate
to the site in terms of the proportion of the site covered by the structure and
the location of the structure in relation to lot lines.
(e) Building design and placement shall take into consideration natural grade
conditions, existing vegetation, and other natural features.
(f) Excessive similarity or dissimilarity in design in relation to surrounding or
adjoining structures, including but not limited to predominant building
height, exterior materials, building mass, roof line, and architectural
features, shall be discouraged.
(g) Design shall take into consideration the relationship to the street and the
pedestrian environment.
(h) Parking, storage, and refuse areas shall be located and screened so as not to
negatively affect neighboring properties.
(i) Protecting the view shed of the lake for nearby properties that are impacted
by the subject structure.
[ ] 2. Lighting. Exterior lighting shall be adequate and in keeping with the character of the
structure, but not so excessive as to impact neighbors. Applicants shall be required to
demonstrate that all exterior lighting will not spill onto neighboring properties.
[ ] 3. Utility Service. It is the goal of the Village of Maple Bluff to eliminate overhead wiring
within the Village. To this end, owners of property within the Village, working with the
Madison Gas and Electric Company, telephone, and cable television licensees, shall, in
all new developments and major additions, make provision for underground service.
Whenever possible this shall be accomplished during building development and
construction. When it is not possible, certification to the fact that provisions have been
made for the timely placement of service underground, signed by representatives of each
company, shall appear on plans submitted to the Maple Bluff Building Board for review.
6
[ ] 4. Screening of Undesirable Views. Areas such as rubbish and trash storage, mechanical
systems, air conditioners and lower portions of exterior wood decks shall be screened to
block the view from any point outside the property. Acceptable screening may consist
of any of the following or combinations thereof:
a. Principal or accessory buildings
b. Earth berms
c. Masonry walls
d. Hedges
e. Trees
f. Decorative fences
[ ] 5. Building Design. Buildings shall meet the following requirements and conform as
much as possible with the following guidelines.
[ ] a. Requirements
[ ] (1) Materials and colors shall be durable and harmonious with each other and with
other buildings in the neighborhood. Proportion and level of detail and finish
shall be consistent with the design intent of adjoining structures.
[ ] (2) Mechanical elements mounted on the roof or ground shall be screened from
the view of adjacent properties and streets and muffled for sound.
[ ] (3) Highest quality design in architecture shall be the goal of the Village.
Buildings shall be designed to complement and enrich the character of the
Village. Building component massing, materials, textures, and colors shall be
consistent with this character.
[ ] (4) Fences shall be evaluated based on compatibility with neighboring structures
in terms of appearance, materials, design, location and the resulting restriction
of light, air or view.
[ ] (5) Untreated lumber shall not be considered an acceptable finish as a fence, deck
or railing material.
[ ] (6) An addition shall relate to the existing building in terms of scale, proportion,
balance, materials, roof form and pitch, detail, color and original building
design intent.
b. Guidelines
(1) Compatibility: Structures should be designed to be compatible with the
structures that are adjacent to them.
(2) Facades: Large unbroken exterior facades should be avoided.
(3) Elevations: All building elevations are of importance and should be carefully
designed. Roof surfaces should be considered as part of the overall design and
relate to existing form and slope in additions to existing structures.
7
(4) Height: The height of a structure or building and adjacent open spaces after
any proposed alteration or construction should be compatible with the style
and character of the structure or building and with surrounding structures and
buildings.
(5) Relationship Between Mass and Open Space: The relationship between a
structure or building and adjacent open spaces after alteration should be
compatible with the relationship between surrounding structures, buildings
and adjacent open spaces.
(6) Relationship Among Height, Width and Scale: The relationship among
height, width, and scale of a structure or building after an alteration should be
compatible with the relationship among height, width, and scale of
surrounding structures and buildings.
(7) Directional Expression: The directional expression of a structure or building
after alteration should be compatible with the directional expression of
surrounding structures and buildings.
(8) Architectural Details, General Design, Materials, Textures, and Colors: The
architectural details, general design, materials, textures, and colors of a
structure or building after alteration should be compatible with the
architectural details, general design, materials, textures, and colors of
surrounding structures and buildings.
(9) Garages: Where possible, garages should be "side-loaded" versus fronting up
on the street. If a garage is on the street facade of a dwelling, the garage
should be setback at least one (1) foot from the facade of the dwelling.
Further, the width of the dwelling portion of the structure should be at least
five (5) feet wider than the width of the garage.
[ ] 6. Exceptions to Floor Area Ratio (FAR). The Building Board may upon request increase
the FAR for a single family residence in the "A" and "B" Residence District. In
reviewing the FAR increase, the Building Board may consider the following mitigating
criteria:
a. If the property adjoins or is opposite a public open space or park.
b. If other residences along the same side of the street adjoining the residence
have similar FARs.
c. If the lot has large trees and/or mature landscaping which obscures the scale of
the residence.
d. If the property has unique topographic features which reduce the scale of the
residence.
e. If the residence setback from the public street is significantly greater than
minimum requirements.

Chapter 225. Zoning Article XIII. Fences
§ 225-75Policy.
It shall be the policy of the Village and of this article to encourage the maintenance of visual openness and
to discourage the erection of fences, such as privacy fences, which create substantial visual barriers
between and among neighboring residential properties in the Village. In addition to the criteria set forth in
all relevant design review provisions of this chapter,[1] the design and materials used in the construction of
all fences shall aesthetically enhance the areas in which they are located. Accordingly, chain link and
similar type wire fences shall be generally prohibited, except where specific findings are made that such a
fence in a particular case does not conflict with the provisions of this article.
[1]
Editor's Note: See Arts. V and VI of this chapter.
§ 225-76Applicability.
A.
The provisions of this article shall apply to all fences and similar structures which serve as a physical
barrier and shall include, without limitation, boundary fences erected along a lot line for the purpose of
enclosing a lot and/or creating a barrier between lots; architectural, aesthetic or decorative fences erected
for a purpose other than enclosing a lot and/or creating a barrier between lots; walls constructed of stone,
brick or similar material; and retaining walls greater than two feet in height.
B.
This article shall not apply to the use of snow fences during the winter months, provided that such fences
are used as snow fences and are removed at the end of each winter season.
§ 225-77Requirements and restrictions.
A.
No person shall construct, alter or enlarge a fence without obtaining a building permit, and the Building
Board shall have first determined that the fence, when constructed, altered or enlarged, will not be
unreasonably detrimental to the neighboring properties or the Village in terms of appearance, materials,
design, location, and the resulting restriction of light, air or view.
B.
All applications for fences shall be subject to the criteria set forth in the design review provisions
contained in this chapter and the statement of policy contained in this article.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: See Arts. V and VI of this chapter and § 225-75 of this article.
C.
All fences shall generally be constructed of materials, preferably cedar or similar wood, which tend to
blend in to the surroundings. Painted fences shall be discouraged.
D.
Boundary fences which are erected along a lot line for the purpose of enclosing a lot and/or creating a
barrier between lots shall have a minimum six-inch side and rear yard setback and shall be limited to rear
yards, although an exception may be allowed for corner lots or other lots involving unique circumstances.
E.
No fence erected in residential districts shall exceed a height of six feet above ground level. An exception
to this height limitation may be allowed where the purpose of the fence is to block the view of a
commercial property or provide privacy from incompatible uses, in which case, at the discretion of the
Building Board, a fence may be allowed within a range of a maximum of eight feet above ground level and
a minimum of four feet above ground level.
F.
The finished side or decorative side of all fences shall face neighboring properties.

EROSION CONTROL
AND
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
HISTORY:
By Dane County mandate, the Village of Maple Bluff is required to review and enforce plans
regarding Erosion Control and Stormwater Management. The Village has adopted by Ordinance
the Dane County model regulations. A copy of this ordinance is available for a reproduction fee
upon request.
COMPLIANCE:
Village staff has incorporated our Erosion Control and Stormwater Management process into our
building permit process. In the “Application Material Checklist”, you will find that you must
submit application materials related to your Erosion and Stormwater Management plan for your
property during construction, if applicable. Please review the following document closely to help
determine applicability to your project. In general, every project will need to address Erosion
Control issues at the project site. Not all projects will need to meet Stormwater Management
requirements. Additional compliance may be regulated by NR216 (Stormwater permit) and/or
NR151 (Post Construction). You will be notified if these regulations apply to your project.
PROCESS:
After submitting your completed Erosion Control and Stormwater Management plan, it will be
reviewed by our Public Works Director for compliance with our Ordinance. It is then forwarded
to the Building Inspector to verify site compliance with erosion control before, during, and after
construction until the site is stabilized.
APPLICATION MATERIALS
In the following pages you will find the information needed to complete an Erosion Control &
Stormwater Management Plan. The first page will detail the regulations and other resources. The
next two pages are documents to help you complete the Erosion Control Plan Diagram. The final
page is the overall Erosion Control Management Plan. These documents, to include the site
diagram, will need to be completed and submitted as a part of your application materials.

Location of existing and planned storm sewer inlets and culvert crossings near site.
Location of existing and proposed buildings and paved areas.
Location and approximate dimensions of the disturbed area on the site.
Approximate gradient and direction of: 1) existing and planned slopes; and 2) existing and planned drainage ways on the site.
Location and approximate watershed areas of overland runoff (sheet flow) and drainageway runoff (concentrated flow) coming
onto the site from adjacent areas.
Representative soil type of the disturbed area on the site. (i.e. sandy, loam, silt loam, clay)
EROSION CONTROL PRACTICES
Location of temporary soil storage piles.
1) Soil storage piles will be contained by a down slope sediment fence or be covered with a tarp. It is recommended that they
be located more than 25 feet from any down slope road or drainage way.
2) It is recommended that they be temporarily seeded and mulched.
Location of temporary gravel access drive(s).
1) Gravel drive will have 2 to 3 inch aggregate stone laid at least 7 feet wide and 6 inches thick.
2) Drives will extend from the roadway 50 feet or to the building (whichever is less).
Location of sediment controls (filter fabric fence, straw bale fence, rock sediment trap, or other planned practices) that
minimize the amount of eroded soil leaving the site.
1) Sediment controls will be installed along the downslope sides of the disturbed areas unless it is planned that permanent
seeding and mulching will be completed within 30 days of the start of grading.
2) Sediment Controls will be installed around soil storage piles, around inlets, at outlets of drainageways, and along adjacent
drainageways which receive runoff from the site.
Location of practices that will be applied to control erosion on steep slopes (greater than 12% grade) (applicable only for
UDC)
Location of sediment barriers around storm sewer inlets.
Location of diversions.
1) It is recommended that areas of concentrated flow be properly diverted around disturbed areas. Overland runoff (sheet flow)
from adjacent areas greater than 10,000 sq. ft. is also recommended to be diverted around disturbed areas in a manner that
will not adversely impact adjacent landowners.
2) Diversions will be stabilized with seeding and mulching within 24 hours of diversion completion.
Location of practices that will control erosion in areas of concentrated flow.
1) Drainageways will be stabilized with seeding, mulching, and other appropriate measures within 24 hours of drainageway
completion.
2) Sediment controls will be installed at the outlet ends of drainageways.
MANAGEMENT OF EROSION CONTROL
Temporary stabilization of disturbed areas.
1) It is recommended that rough graded disturbed areas (planned to be left inactive for more than 30 days) and temporary soil
stock piles (planned to be left inactive for more than 7 days) be stabilized by temporary seeding (between April 1st and
October 15th) or by other cover, such as covering with a tarp or mulching.
2) Temporary seeding of oats or sudan grass are normally sown between May 15th and July 15th. Rye grass or winter wheat are
normally sown between July 15th and September 15th.
Permanent stabilization of site by re-vegetation or other means.
1) Permanent seeding will be completed by September 15th or sodding placed by November 15th.
2) Straw or grassy hay mulching is recommended on all disturbed areas that are planned to be seeded.
Use of downspout and/or sump pump outlet extensions to stabilized areas.
Trapping sediment during site dewatering operations.
1) Sediment laden discharge should be temporarily ponded behind a sediment barrier until most of the sediment settles out.
Proper disposal of building material waste so that pollutants and debris do not are not carried off-site by wind or water.
Maintenance of erosion control practices.
1) All erosion control practices will be inspected daily and maintained in working condition.
2) Accumulated sediment will be removed from behind sediment fences and barriers before it reaches a depth that is equal to
half the barrier height.
3) All sediment that moves off-site due to construction activities will be cleaned up by the end of the workday.
4) All sediment that moves off-site due to storm events will be cleaned up as soon as possible, but at least by the end of the next
day.
5) Temporary gravel access drives will be maintained throughout construction in working condition.
6) All erosion control practices will be maintained until the disturbed areas they protect are permanently stabilized and
established. Upon permanent stabilization establishment, the temporary erosion control practices will be removed.
Schedule of erosion control practice installation and site grading
1) Necessary erosion control practices will be installed prior to the beginning of grading.

Health Information
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of
some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health
risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the
Environmental Protection Agency's safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.
Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have
undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune systems disorders, some elderly,
and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking
water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of
infection by cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Environmental
Protection Agency's safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).

Educational Information
The sources of drinking water, both tap water and bottled water, include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds,
reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it
dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up
substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment
plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife.
Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally- occurring or result from
urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production,
mining or farming.
Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban
stormwater runoff and residential uses.
Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-
products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations,
urban stormwater runoff and septic systems.
Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas
production and mining activities.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of
certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for
contaminants in bottled water, which shall provide the same protection for public health.
Definitions
Term Definition
AL Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment
or other requirements which a water system must follow.
HA and HAL
HA: Health Advisory. An estimate of acceptable drinking water levels for a chemical
substance based on health effects information. HAL: Health Advisory Level is a
concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, poses a health risk and may require a
system to post a public notice. Health Advisories are determined by US EPA.
HI
HI: Hazard Index: A Hazard Index is used to assess the potential health impacts associated
with mixtures of contaminants. Hazard Index guidance for a class of contaminants or
mixture of contaminants may be determined by the US EPA or Wisconsin Department of
Health Services. If a Health Index is exceeded a system may be required to post a public
notice.
Level 1
Assessment
A Level 1 assessment is a study of the water system to identify potential problems and
determine, if possible, why total coliform bacteria have been found in our water system.
Level 2
Assessment
A Level 2 assessment is a very detailed study of the water system to identify potential
problems and determine, if possible, why an E. coli MCL violation has occurred or why
total coliform bacteria have been found in our water system, or both, on multiple
occasions.
Term Definition
MCL
Maximum Contaminant Level: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in
drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available

Additional Health Information
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and
young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with
service lines and home plumbing. Maple Bluff Waterworks is responsible for providing high quality
drinking water but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your
water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing
your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned
about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water,
testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water
Hotline or at www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
Purchased Water
Our water system purchases water from MADISON WATER UTILITY. In addition to the detected
contaminants listed above, these are the results from MADISON WATER UTILITY.
More about the purchased Water
The Village of Maple Bluff primarily receives water from Well 7 and, to a lesser extent, Well 11.
Enclosed are the water quality data (inorganic and volatile organic test results) specific to these two wells.
You will note that the tables show test results for some unregulated contaminants – hexavalent chromium,
dioxane, and strontium, for example.
Madison’s Water Utility continues to monitor these substances beyond state and federal requirements, and
Madison Water Utility continues to routinely test all its drinking water wells for up to 30 PFAS (per- and
polyfluoroalkyl substances). At least one PFAS was found in ten Madison wells in 2023. Levels of PFOA
& PFOS, which are now regulated in Wisconsin, are well below the Maximum Contaminant Level, MCL,
set at 70 ng/L. The enclosed PFAS data tables show all PFAS test results for Wells 7 and 11 between
2021 and 2023.

PFAS Testing
Madison wells are tested twice annually for up to 30 PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). The table
summarizes the 2023 results. At least one PFAS was found in ten wells. All active Madison wells meet
health-based groundwater standards recommended by the WI Dept. of Health Services (DHS) for 18 types of
PFAS, and they meet every PFAS standard set by any other US state.

The test the Village of Maple Bluff performed:
In 2023 the Village did Bacteria samples twice per month. All those samples came back clean.
We also did Lead and Copper testing. If you want to see those results, please contact Paul Elliott
at 608-244-3048 and he can print out those results. We are proud to inform our residents that the
Village of Maple Bluff doesn’t have any Lead service lines in the Village. The Village of Maple
Bluff was required to take VOC (Volatile Organic Chemicals) 3 times in 2023 and all of those
tests were returned with no issues with the Water quality, and if you wanted to review those test
results you can reach out to Paul Elliott and he can print them out for you.
The Village currently has 3 people that can take Water samples for the predetermined locations,
so if you have any questions about your water quality, just reach out to the Public Works
Department and we will try to answer any questions you may have.
Thank you.

Village of Maple Bluff
Rules for Marina Boat Storage and Use of Facility
1. No watercraft or watercraft trailer may be stored at Marina Park except upon the Village’s acceptance of a Boat Storage Application and Agreement.
2. A resident with an accepted Application may renew the Agreement for a consecutive season by applying for the next season by February 29 and paying
the applicable fees as stated on the application. Non-resident renewals will depend upon available space. No application will be accepted from any
applicant who owes the Village for any charges previously incurred for use of the facility.
3. The Village, in the event of high water or emergency, may require that all personal property be removed by the tenant. In the event items are not removed
by the tenant, the Village may have them removed and require payment for the removal and storage.
4. All boats stored on hoists must always be raised to the highest lift position. Never tie any boats to the pier. Tenants will be held liable for any damage
caused to the pier by their or their guests’ actions.
5. All boats and watercraft trailers not renting storage space during the winter term must be removed by 11:59pm on October 14, 2024. Any items that
remain in the marina after said time will be assessed a $100.00 penalty.
6. For in-water renters, all hoists at the removal date must be placed in the highest position. Any lift not raised to the top position will be assessed a $50.00
penalty.
7. As of the 2019 season, all hoists can be a maximum of 24’ in length and a maximum of 10.5’ in width. Hoists, currently installed at the marina that exceed
this rule will be grandfathered.
8. All accessory items on hoists (solar panels, solar arms, antennas, utility boxes, batteries, and battery boxes, etc.) must be removed at the end of the
season. Any items not removed will be removed by the Village’s contractor and will be charged to the user. The Village Contractor is not responsible for
damaged accessory items on hoists for failure to remove.
9. The Village will maintain separate waiting lists for resident and non-resident applicants if the demand exceeds available space. Non-residents will be
eligible for land storage space if no residents are waiting. Space will be made available annually to applicants in order on the waiting lists and as otherwise
provided by the Village Administration.
10. Except as provided by Village policy or by written agreement with the Village Administrator or designee, the applicant must own or intend to acquire the
boat and/ or watercraft trailer which is the subject of the application. Intention to acquire means the applicant has a contract to purchase more than fifty
(50) percent interest by May 1 and must provide proof of sale completed by May 15 of the year of first application. Applicants must have the requisite
ownership interest, which interest must be reflected in its certificate of title. The applicant shall produce a current title upon Village request.
11. All renters must provide a copy and maintain current registration in the applicant’s name.
12. Once an application has been approved, the applicant shall not (i) sublease the Space or (ii) otherwise allow any other person to use the Space for any item
not described in the application.
13. If a boat or watercraft trailer has multiple owners, the Village will only communicate with and respond to the person(s) disclosed on the Application.
14. Storage is limited to lifts, boats, and watercraft trailers as described in the application. Any nonconforming items will be removed, and the applicant
and/or owner will be charged for all associated moving and storage costs. No items may be stored under or on top of boats and trailers. Trailers and lifts
shall be used only to hold boats. All equipment shall be kept inside the boat. No vehicle may be parked in a space without written permission from the
Village Administration. Items left inside boats shall be properly secured and locked. The Village is not responsible for items that may be lost or stolen.
15. All boats must be on trailers except boats on hoists and boats at shoreline storage.
16. Shoreline spaces are intended for small multi-hull sailing vessels without trailers.
17. All boats may only be covered with properly fitted covers. No tarps shall be allowed from April 15 to October 15. Tarps may be used only in winter
provided they are in good repair and are tightly secured. Shrink wrap is the preferred method of winter storage if owner does not have properly fitted
cover.
18. Watercraft trailers, hoists and boats must be in good repair and in working condition. Notification will be provided to tenants with a call to action for any
vessel/trailer not in good repair.
19. No vehicles may be parked in storage spaces at any other location in the Marina which blocks traffic flow or impedes access for emergency responders.
20. All users and guests must yield to Maple Bluff Fire Department personnel and vessels.
21. All items shall be promptly removed upon Village request.
22. Fees are nonrefundable under any circumstances, including the applicant’s failure to use the storage space and/or facilities.
23. The Village encourages all tenants to use their slips and land storage space and reserves the right to ask tenants who did not use their space to vacate the
following year to allow usage by residents on the waiting list.
Enforcement of the above rules will be done through the administrative staff of the Village of Maple Bluff. Failure to comply with the above policies may result in
an immediate termination of lease and non-renewal in subsequent years.
