§ 500-15 A-1 Agricultural District.

Purpose. This district is intended to provide for farming, other agricultural activities, conservancy uses, recreational activities and related uses in those areas in which existing non-farm residential development is not of dominant significance, but with adequate regulatory standards to protect the future potential of the area for its most suitable development.

Permitted uses.

(1)

Any use permitted in the C-1 District.

(2)

Point system.

(a)

All normal farming uses, including the keeping or raising of farm animals, on not less than five acres, provided that the number of animals kept or raised shall be restricted pursuant to a formula in which each parcel may not exceed 25 points per acre, computed as follows:

	Class of Family of Animals	Points Awarded Per Animal
	Avian (birds)	1
	Ovine (animals resembling sheep)	5
	Caprine (animals resembling goats)	5
	Llama (wild and domesticated South African ruminants which relate to camels)	5
	Porcine (swine and related animals)	20
	Bovine (ox, cow or related animals)	20
	Equine (horse, or horse-family-type animals)	20

(b)

Example: A five-acre farmette has a total of 125 points, which would allow an owner to have:

3 horses	x	20 points	=	60
2 pigs	x	20 points	=	40
25 chickens	x	1 point	=	25
				125

(c)

For a farming use to be permitted or the point system applied to a parcel of land, the entire parcel must be under common ownership. In other words, parcels under different owners may not be combined to attain the minimum five acres or to gain eligibility for more points even if leased or utilized by the same person.

§ 500-27 WT Wastewater Treatment District.

Purpose. The Wastewater Treatment District delineates that area where the principal use will be as a site for the wastewater stabilization lagoons and other wastewater treatment facilities for the Village of Neshkoro. This Wastewater Treatment District is created to meet the requirements of § NR 110.15(3)(d), Wis. Adm. Code. That section prescribes standards for the separation distances of sewage treatment facilities and other property. An existing "mechanical" plant must have a five-hundred-foot separation from adjacent residential and business development. In reviewing requests for conditional uses, the Village will utilize the standard of review that will require said conditional use to be compatible with any present and future wastewater treatment facility in the described Wastewater Treatment District.

Permitted uses. The sewage treatment facilities will be inclusive but not limited to stabilization lagoons, mechanical treatment facilities and effluent holding and polishing ponds and all other related structures or mechanical devices necessary to treat wastewater, including all essential uses to operate the sewage treatment facilities.

Conditional uses. The following conditional uses may be allowed if they will not be unreasonably affected by the proximity of the stabilization ponds and treatment plant and will not interfere with any future expansion needs of the ponds or plant:

(1)

Additions, enlargements, remodeling and replacement of lawful nonconforming structures existing at the time of the creation of this district and not changing the principal use of the structure.

(2)

Construction, additions, enlargement, remodeling and replacement of accessory structures with a use customarily incidental to the principal use of any lawful nonconforming structure or use existing at the time of the creation of this district and located on and proximate to such nonconforming structure or use. For example, for a nonconforming residential structure, a garage.

Prohibited uses. No structures are permitted except those using essential services accessory to the principal permitted use, and all uses not specifically permitted are prohibited.[1]
