§ 550-39 Groundwater Protection Overlay District.

Purpose and authority.

(1)

The Village Board of the Village of Slinger recognizes that the people of the Village of Slinger depend exclusively on groundwater for a safe drinking water supply and that certain land uses in the Village of Slinger environmental setting can seriously degrade water quality. Therefore, the designated best use of the unconfined groundwater of the Village of Slinger is for public and private water supply and it is the policy of the Village to maintain its groundwater resources as near to the natural condition of purity as reasonably possible for the safeguarding of the public health, safety, and welfare.

(2)

The purpose of the Groundwater Protection Overlay District is to protect key groundwater recharge areas by imposing appropriate land-use restrictions in these areas. Wisconsin Act 410 of 1983, specifically includes groundwater protection among the purposes for which local zoning power may be exercised.[1] The restrictions included herein are in addition to those of the underlying zoning districts or any other provisions of the zoning or other Village ordinance.

[1]

Editor's Note: See § 62.23(7)(c), Wis. Stats.

Designation of municipal or private well field groundwater protection zones.

(1)

The boundaries for the groundwater recharge protection zones for the groundwater Protection Overlay District are as shown on the map "Groundwater Protection Districts for the Village of Slinger Well Fields" dated February 24, 1993. (See Fig. A1 for examples of proposed wellhead protection zones for Well Field #5.)[2]

[2]

Editor's Note: The map and Fig. A1 are on file in the Village office.

(2)

Said map is hereby adopted by reference becoming a part of this chapter as if the map were fully described herein. The groundwater recharge basins for the designated well fields are divided into three zones reflecting the potential for land-use activities to adversely impact the well fields and the subsequent scope of land-use restrictions needed.

Zone A, Groundwater Protection Overlay District.

(1)

Zone A is the immediate area around the well field, commonly known as the "cone of depression," in which groundwater elevations are lowered by pumping. This area is subject to the highest contaminant threat, and therefore, the land use restrictions are the most severe of the recharge zones.

(2)

The following uses are permitted:

Parks/playgrounds.

Archery ranges.

Boat landings.

Other natural uses:

Wildlife areas.

Wild crops.

Non-motor trails (bike, skiing, nature, fitness).

[4]

Hunting/fishing/trapping with Village-issued permit.[3]

[3]

Editor's Note: Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. II).

(3)

The following uses are permitted upon proper application as provided in this chapter, only after such use shall have been approved in writing by the Planning Commission. Such approval shall be consistent with the general purpose and intent of this chapter and shall be based upon evidence as may be presented at such public hearings, tending to show the desirability of specific uses from the standpoint of the public interest because of such factors as (without limitation because of enumeration) groundwater pollution, smoke, dust, noxious or toxic gases and odors, noise, glare, vibration, operation of heavy machinery, heavy vehicular traffic, increased traffic on the streets and other safety and health factors; such uses shall meet the specific conditions attached below and such other conditions as the Planning Commission deems necessary in furthering the purpose of this chapter.

(4)

The following use is expressly prohibited in this zone:

(a)

All uses not permitted or special exception in this section.

(5)

The following standards apply to all uses in Zone A of the Groundwater Protection Overlay District:

(a)

On-site sanitary system with any type of discharge, on lots less than 40,000 square feet.

(b)

Underground tanks are prohibited.

(c)

Natural vegetation not treated with fertilizers and pesticides. A minimum of 85% of lot must be retained in natural vegetation.

(d)

Lot size: 40,000 square feet per residential unit. Multiple-family units and cluster developments may increase density by 50% if restrictive covenant maintains natural vegetation requirement.

(e)

Pesticide/fertilizer storage and use (including septage and sludge landspreading) are prohibited except for normal home use and by special case-by-case review.

(f)

Animal waste facility or landspreading are prohibited.

(g)

Stormwater and drain discharge. Direct subsurface drainage is prohibited. Discharge of hazardous materials is prohibited. All surface runoff and drain construction must provide a means for collection or containment in the event of a hazardous materials spill.

(j)

Hazardous/toxic wastes. On-site treatment, transfer, or disposal is prohibited.

Zone B, Groundwater Protection Overlay District.

(1)

Zone B is the recharge area upgradient of Zone A to the point where it is estimated that groundwater and contaminants will take five years to reach the pumping well(s). This is an intermediate zone and land use measures are slightly less restrictive than Zone A because of the longer flow times and greater contaminant dilution and attenuation potential.

(2)

The following uses are permitted:[4]

Residential.

Parks/playgrounds.

Natural uses:

Wildlife areas.

Wild crops.

Non-motor trails (bike, skiing, nature, fitness).

[4]

§ 550-40 PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District.

The PUD Planned Unit Development Overlay District is intended to permit developments that will, over a period of time, be enhanced by coordinated area site planning, diversified location of structures, diversified building types, and/or mixing of compatible uses. Such developments are intended to provide a safe and efficient system for pedestrian and vehicle traffic; to provide attractive recreation and green spaces as integral parts of the developments; to enable economic design in the location of public and private utilities and community facilities; and to ensure adequate standards of construction and planning. The PUD Overlay District under this chapter will allow for flexibility of overall development design with benefits from developer and the community, while at the same time maintaining insofar as possible, the land use density and other standards, or use requirements set forth in the underlying basic zoning district.

Permitted uses. Uses permitted in a Planned Unit Development Overlay District shall conform to uses generally permitted in the underlying basic use districts. The bulk, spatial, height, green space, building area, parking, landscaping, and similar development regulations of the underlying basic use districts may be waived or modified (to be more or less restrictive) if recommended by the Planning Commission and approved by the Village Board. If no waiver or modification is expressly given, individual structures and site development shall comply with the specific requirements of the underlying basic use district. All green space and parking requirements of the underlying basic use district shall be complied with either individually or by providing the combined green space and shared parking space required for the entire development in one or more locations within the development.

§ 550-41 Conservation Subdivision Overlay (CSO) District.

Purpose. The Conservation Subdivision Overlay (CSO) District is established for the following purposes:

(1)

To provide an overlay district that may be used in conjunction with an underlying residential zoning district to promote development of conservation subdivisions.

(2)

To preserve environmentally sensitive lands through permanent preservation of open space and natural resources with housing concentrated on portions of the site that have lower-quality natural features.

(3)

To provide open space areas that are commonly owned for passive and/or active recreational use by residents of the development, and where specifically established, for use by the general public.

(4)

To minimize disturbance to environmentally sensitive areas, protect biological diversity, and maintain environmental corridors in their natural state to the extent practical.

(5)

To preserve scenic views by minimizing views of new development from existing roads.

(6)

To provide buffering between residential development and nonresidential uses.

Definition of conservation subdivision. A conservation subdivision is a housing development characterized by extensive open space where existing natural features of the land are maintained in their natural state to the extent practical. Residential dwellings in such subdivisions are located on portions of the site with lower-quality natural features and should be adjacent to or overlook open space.

Platting methods and applicability of other regulations. Conservation subdivisions may be created by platting methods including Certified Survey Maps (CSMs), subdivision plats, or condominium plats. All of the Village's land development regulations applying to each of the platting methods shall be applicable to a conservation subdivision, except as may be permitted in this section.

Uses. In a conservation subdivision, the underlying zoning district shall determine allowable uses.

Density and lot size standards. The maximum density of a conservation subdivision shall be determined by applying the minimum lot area in the underlying zoning district to the entire parcel proposed for development. The minimum lot area in a conservation subdivision may be less than that required in the underlying district, but shall not be less than 10,000 square feet with sanitary sewer service, or not less than 30,000 square feet without sanitary service.

Setback and yards. The minimum setback and yard requirements in the underlying zoning district may be modified in a conservation subdivision to provide flexibility in the siting of homes relative to the attributes of the individual lots or sites in the development. These requirements shall be established on an individual development basis and shall be determined prior to final plat approval. The minimum setback and yard requirements shall be shown on the final plat or CSM.

Minimum living area and maximum building height. Shall be as established in the underlying Zoning District.

Common open space. A conservation subdivision shall provide common open space as follows:

(1)

A minimum of 40% of the subject parcel shall be common open space which shall be platted as one or more outlots. Wetlands, floodplains, floodways, ponds or natural water bodies may constitute a maximum of 60% of the minimum common open space area.

(2)

Prior to any final approval action on a conservation subdivision, the Village Parks and Recreation Board shall review the proposed common open space to determine if any public parklands or any other public land dedication is necessary in conjunction with the conservation subdivision.

(3)

The ownership, maintenance, and stewardship of common open space shall be accomplished by a homeowners' association and/or condominium association in accord with Ch. 703, Wis. Stats. The subdivision applicant shall provide a description of the bylaws of the proposed association, and all documents governing the ownership, maintenance, and use restriction for common facilities. The association shall be established by the owner of the subdivision developer prior to the sale of any lots or dwelling units in the development. All documents to establish such association shall be approved by the Village Attorney prior to their use by the developer.

(4)

No such owners' association shall be allowed to default and result in the common open space being owned and maintained by the public.

(5)

Each unit owner in a conservation subdivision shall have an undividable fractional ownership interest in the common open space outlot(s).

(6)

A deed restriction shall be established to prevent subdividing any common open space which is part of a conservation subdivision.

(7)

A landscaping plan and a maintenance plan for common open space areas shall be approved by the Planning Commission prior to final plat approval.

(8)

Any amendments to the common open space documents after their initial approval shall be reviewed and approved by the Village Attorney prior to such amendments taking effect.

(9)

The following uses are permitted in common open space areas:

(a)

Conservation of open land in its natural state (for example, woodland, fallow field, or managed meadow).

(b)

Silviculture, in keeping with established standards for selective harvesting and sustained-yield forestry.

(c)

Neighborhood open space uses such as common areas, picnic areas, community gardens, trails and similar low-impact passive recreational uses specifically excluding motorized off-road vehicles, rifle ranges, and other uses similar in character and potential impact as determined by the Planning Commission.

(d)

Active noncommercial recreation areas, such as playing fields, playgrounds, courts and bikeways, provided such areas do not encroach on environmentally sensitive areas. Playing fields, playgrounds, and courts shall not be located within 50 feet of abutting properties. Parking facilities for the same shall also be permitted.

(e)

Golf courses may comprise the open space land. Their parking areas and any associated structures shall not be included within the minimum open space requirement; their parking and access ways may be paved and lighted.

(f)

Water supply, water sources for the fire protection, sewage disposal system, and stormwater detention areas designed, landscaped, and available for use as an integral part of the open space.

(g)

Easements for drainage, access, or other public purposes.

(h)

Underground utility rights-of-way and street rights-of-way may traverse common open space areas but shall not count toward the minimum required open space land.

(i)

Agricultural uses limited to the growing of crops outdoors including nurseries, sod farms, orchards, forestry, commercial vegetables, and crops for livestock consumption, but not including dairying or the raising and feeding of livestock and poultry.

(j)

Public use of common open space may be allowed if agreed to by the developer and the Village.

Required improvements and design standards. Required improvements and design standards related to conservation subdivisions may be modified to create a lower impact on the natural environment and provide a greater degree of environmental protection. Infrastructure requirements and modifications shall be reviewed on an individual development basis to determine the appropriate infrastructure based on each site's unique attributes.

Financial guarantees and impact fees. Financial guarantees, including those required as part of a conventional subdivision development agreement, and impact fees, shall be applied to a conservation subdivision.

[Added 9-21-2015 by Ord. No. 08-03-2015]

Purpose and statutory authorization.

(1)

Uncontrolled use of shorelands and pollution of the navigable waters of the municipality would adversely affect the public health, safety, convenience, and general welfare and impair the tax base. The Legislature of Wisconsin has delegated responsibility to all municipalities to:

(a)

Promote the public health, safety, convenience and general welfare;

(b)

Limit certain land use activities detrimental to shorelands; and

(c)

Preserve shore cover and natural beauty by controlling the location of structures in shoreland areas and restricting the removal of natural shoreland vegetation.

(2)

This section is adopted pursuant to the authorization in §§ 61.35 and 61.353, Wis. Stats., and Year 2013 Wisconsin Act 80.

General provisions.

(1)

Compliance and uses.

(a)

The use of shorelands within the shoreland area of the municipality shall be in full compliance with the terms of this section and other applicable local, state, or federal regulations.

(3)

Abrogation and greater restrictions.

(a)

This section supersedes all the provisions of any other applicable municipal ordinance, except that where another municipal ordinance is more restrictive than this section, that ordinance shall continue in full force and effect to the extent of the greater restrictions, but not otherwise.

(b)

This section is not intended to repeal, abrogate or impair any existing deed restrictions, covenants or easements. However, where this section imposes greater restrictions, the provisions of this section shall prevail.

(4)

Interpretation. In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this section 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 or Wisconsin Constitution.

(5)

Applicability of Shoreland District Regulations. The Shoreland Zoning District regulations apply only to the following shorelands:

(a)

A shoreland that was annexed by the Village of Slinger after May 7, 1982, and that, prior to annexation, was subject to a county shoreland zoning ordinance under § 59.692, Wis. Stats.; and

(b)
