The use of wetlands and the alteration of wetlands within the shoreland area of the City of Weyauwega shall be in full compliance with the terms of this chapter and other applicable local, state or federal regulations. (However, see §
515-13 of this chapter for the standards applicable to nonconforming uses.) All permitted development shall require the issuance of a zoning permit unless otherwise expressly excluded by a provision of this chapter.
Unless specifically exempted by law, all cities,
villages, towns and counties are required to comply with this chapter
and obtain all necessary permits. State agencies are required to comply
if § 13.48(13), Wis. Stats., applies. The construction,
reconstruction, maintenance and repair of state highways and bridges
by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation are exempt when § 30.2022,
Wis. Stats., applies.
In their interpretation and application, the
provisions of this chapter shall be held to be minimum requirements
and shall be liberally construed in favor of the municipality and
shall not be deemed a limitation or repeal of any other powers granted
by the Wisconsin Statutes. Where a provision of this chapter is required
by a standard in Ch. NR 117, Wis. Adm. Code, and where the chapter
provision is unclear, the provision shall be interpreted in light
of the Ch. NR 117 standards in effect on the date of the adoption
of this chapter or in effect on the date of the most recent text amendment
to this chapter.
The shoreland zoning provisions of Waupaca County
in effect on the date of annexation remain in effect and shall be
administered by the municipality for all areas annexed by the municipality
after May 7, 1982. These annexed lands are described on the municipality's
Official Zoning Map. The Waupaca County shoreland zoning provisions
are incorporated by reference for the purpose of administering this
chapter and are on file in the office of the Municipal Zoning Administrator.
