For the purpose of determining the distance structures shall
be set back from highways and roads, the following setbacks shall
apply unless the yard regulations or modifications allow a lesser
yard or setback requirement. This section shall not be interpreted
so as to prohibit the planting and harvesting of field crops, shrubbery
or trees; provided, however, that no building or structure, trees
or shrubbery shall be so located, maintained or permitted to grow
so that the view across the sectors at intersections shall be obstructed.
A. Highway and road setback distances. The setback distance shall be
as follows:
(1) Town roads: minimum 100 feet from the center line of the road or
67 feet from the edge of the right-of-way, whichever distance is greater,
except in platted subdivisions where the setback distance shall be
30 feet from the edge of the right-of-way as shown on the recorded
plat.
(2) State or county highways: minimum 100 feet from the center line of
the highway or 67 feet from the edge of the right-of-way, whichever
distance is greater.
(3) Urbanized highways or roads: minimum 60 feet from the center line
of the highway or road or 27 feet from the edge of the right-of-way,
whichever distance is greater. The urbanized highways or roads in
the Town are as follows:
(a)
Village of Woodland: beginning at a point in the junction of
Woodland Road and WS, thence north along WS to its junction with the
Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad (C. M. St. P. &
P. RR.).
For lots that abut on navigable waters:
A. There shall be setbacks from both the road and water.
B. All buildings and structures, except piers, wharves, boat hoists,
open fences, and boathouses, shall be set back at least 75 feet from
all points along the normal high-water mark of all navigable bodies
of water, unless otherwise specified by this chapter.
C. The Zoning Administrator shall determine the normal high-water mark
where not established.
D. A setback of less than 75 feet for a principal structure may be permitted
by the Zoning Administrator where there is at least one principal
structure on either side of the applicant's lot within 200 feet
of the proposed site that is less than the seventy-five-foot setback.
In such case, the reduced setback for the principal structure shall
be the average of the nearest principal structures on each side of
the proposed site or, if there is no building on one side of the proposed
site, the reduced setback shall be the average setback from the existing
principal structure on one side of the applicant's site and the
required seventy-five-foot setback. In no case shall the setback for
the principal structure be less than 50 feet.
E. A setback of less than 75 feet may be permitted by the Zoning Administrator
for a detached accessory structure if done in accordance with the
Dodge County Shoreland Regulations and a county land use permit is
obtained.
Adequate loading areas shall be provided so that all vehicles
loading, maneuvering, or unloading do not project into traffic lanes.
