A.
The purpose of this district is to promote the public health, safety,
and general welfare by:
(1)
Prohibiting
floodplain uses such as fill, dumping, storage of materials, structures,
buildings and any other works which, acting alone or in combination
with other existing or future uses, will increase potential flood
heights and velocities; and by
(2)
Requiring the storage or processing of materials that are buoyant,
flammable, or potentially dangerous to human, animal, or plant life
and the construction, reconstruction, or alteration to structures
and buildings on or that are moved on the floodplain to be elevated
above the flood potential in such a way to prevent future loss of
life and property damage, public responsibilities for rescue, and
relief, and the installation of public streets, sewer, water and other
public utilities or services below the flood potential.
B.
NOTE:
This overlay district will be added to the City of Hayward Official
Zoning Map as soon as the State of Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have established flood
elevations for the Namekagon River through Hayward. In the interim,
the City will consider the record high water mark for Lake Hayward
and the Namekagon River as the boundaries of the floodplain overlay
district.
Any open space use as permitted in the underlying districts,
subject to the standards set forth in all Wisconsin Statutes and Administrative
Codes governing the use of areas subject to flooding.
