[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of
Coloma 11-18-2010 by Ord. No. 10-01. Amendments noted where applicable.]
A.
Hunting within the Village of Coloma may be allowed but shall be
limited to parcels that have been approved for hunting by the Hunting
Review Committee, consisting of the Chief of Police, Village President,
and the Chairman of the Safety Committee, based upon an application
that has been filed with the Village Clerk by the parcel owner. The
Committee shall approve or deny any parcel submitted for hunting approval,
and may place restrictions upon hunting at the parcel, including but
not limited to the type (bow, shotgun, rifle) or caliber of weapon
(.22 cal., 410 gauge, etc.) used for hunting. In determining whether
to allow a parcel of land to be enrolled for hunting, and the restrictions
to be placed upon the parcel, if any, the Committee shall consider
the following factors:
(1)
The size of the parcel because hunting may be approved for any parcels
or portions of parcels located in the Village;
(2)
The proximity of residential development, commercial development,
highways, parks, and other locations where people may congregate to
the parcel;
(3)
The general topography of the parcel;
(4)
The size of the parcel; and
(5)
Such other factors as may be present for any particular parcel.
B.
"Parcel" when used in this section shall mean a whole or portion
of a "tax parcel," namely a parcel or portion of a parcel that is
particularly described by a single tax parcel number.
C.
The Village Clerk shall maintain a map showing parcels enrolled for
hunting, including any restrictions placed by the Committee upon the
parcels.
D.
Each parcel will be looked at on a case-by-case basis.
E.
The Hunting Review Committee has the authority to deem a parcel eligible
to hunt on.
F.
All property enrolled for hunting will be reviewed every five years.
The Village, at any time, by its own volition can decide if any property
does not qualify for continued eligibility.
