[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of
Salem Lakes at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions,
Art. II). Amendments noted where applicable.]
A.
General. The intent of this chapter is to protect and promote the
health, morals, safety, good order and general welfare of the public;
to regulate the locating or construction, installation, alteration,
design and use of all private water supply and sewage disposal so
as to protect the health of residents and transients; to secure them
from disease and pestilence; to further the appropriate use and conservation
of land and water resources; and to preserve and promote the beauty
of the Village. It is further intended to provide for the administration
and enforcement of this chapter and to provide penalties for its violation.
B.
Sanitary regulations. The purpose and intent of this chapter is to establish sanitary regulations and site approval for locations in the Village used temporarily for gatherings as defined in § 192-2, it being recognized that the character and type of such gatherings vary widely and the facilities required to carry out the general purpose and intent of this chapter should be the subject of a special permit issued only after public hearing before the Village Plan Commission and a determination by the Commission that the standards set forth in this chapter are complied with.
This chapter shall apply to all public gatherings, rallies,
assemblies or festivals at which attendance is greater than 500 for
a day event and greater than 1,000 for an event of two or more days.
This chapter shall not apply to events which are held in established
auditoriums, stadiums, fairgrounds, public parks, churches, firehouses,
schools, dance halls, theaters or within other permanent structures.
No public gathering, rally, assembly or festival as defined in § 192-2 of this chapter shall be sponsored, promoted, advertised or permitted until and unless a special sanitary permit has been issued therefor, after due application and public hearing thereon, and not without full compliance with the standards herein set forth and all other local, county and state regulations.
A.
Any property owner or person having a contractual interest in any
land in the county may file an application for a special sanitary
permit. Such application shall be filed with the Village Clerk at
least 60 days in advance of the date of the scheduled event on forms
furnished by the Clerk and shall include the following:
(1)
Name and address of each applicant and the promoter or sponsor of
the gathering, together with proof of ownership of the site.
(2)
Description of the site by metes and bounds or other legal description,
address of the site, type of proposed gathering and proposed method
of operation, maximum number of persons to attend such gathering,
and any special or unusual conditions anticipated.
(3)
Plat of survey, to a scale of one inch equals 100 feet, prepared
by a professional land surveyor, showing the location, boundaries,
dimensions, type, elevations and size of the subject site, soil mapping
unit lines, existing or proposed wells, buildings, fences, woods,
streams, lakes or watercourses, as well as the vertical contour interval
two feet above the high-water level.
B.
Upon receipt of the completed application, the Village Plan Commission
shall call a public hearing thereon. Notice of the time and place
of such hearing shall be given by publication in the county of a Class
3 notice under Ch. 985, Wis. Stats. A copy of such notice shall be
mailed by registered mail to the Town Clerk of each town affected
by the application, to the applicant, to the owner of the site and
to the owners of property situated within 1/4 mile of the proposed
site at least 10 days prior to the date of the hearing. The hearing
shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Village Plan
Commission. After the hearing, the Commission shall, if it finds that
the standards hereinafter set forth have been or will be met, direct
the Building Inspector to issue a special sanitary permit and may
attach such conditions thereto as are reasonably necessary to ensure
compliance with and fulfill the purposes of this chapter.
The Village Plan Commission shall have the authority to require
the applicant and site owner to file a cash or surety bond with the
Building Inspector, naming the Village as obligee, in an amount to
be determined by the Village Plan Commission, but not exceeding $500,
conditioned on complete compliance by the applicant and owner with
all provisions of this chapter and the terms and conditions of the
special sanitary permit and payment of any damages, fines, forfeitures
or penalties imposed by reason of violation thereof.
The Village Plan Commission shall make a finding based on evidence
presented at the hearing of the number of persons expected to attend
the event. Such finding shall be final and conclusive on the applicant
for the purpose of determining the amount of the permit fee and the
applicability of those standards set forth herein which are dependent
upon the number of persons attending the event.
The Building Inspector shall either grant the special sanitary
permit or deny the same in accordance with the directions of the Village
Plan Commission. In the event that conditions are attached to the
issuance of the permit by the Village Plan Commission, the same shall
be set forth in full in the permit. Such permit shall be valid only
on the dates for which it is issued.
No special sanitary permit shall be issued unless it is determined,
based on evidence produced at the hearing, that the following standards
are or will be met:
A.
All provisions of Ch. ATCP 79, Wis. Adm. Code, pertaining to developed
camps shall be complied with.
B.
Adequate sanitation facilities shall be provided. Portable toilets,
outdoor toilets, privies or cesspools are prohibited, except that
portable restrooms, as defined in § SPS 391.13, Wis. Adm.
Code, are permitted. Flush-type toilets shall be provided for any
gathering in excess of 5,000 persons. Any toilet or portable restroom
shall comply with all applicable state regulations.

For events scheduled for two successive days or more, at least one
acre of land, exclusive of roads, parking lots and required yards,
shall be provided for each 40 persons attending.

or other waters accumulate or on ground which is wet or muddy due
to subsoil moisture.
E.

supply outlets for drinking and other purposes to comfortably accommodate
the number of persons expected to attend the event. Where a public
water supply is not available, the well or wells supplying any such

pits or pump pits shall not be permitted. No common drinking vessels
shall be permitted, nor shall any drinking water faucets be placed
in any toilet rooms.
F.
All applicable provisions of the Wisconsin Administrative Code governing
solid waste disposal shall be complied with.

The Building
Inspector shall enforce the provisions of this chapter.
B.
In the
event of any noncompliance with this chapter by the applicant, owner
of the site or any other person, or in the event of violation or threatened
violation of any conditions attached to the special sanitary permit,
the Building Inspector shall forthwith revoke such permit and report
such violations and take appropriate legal action to restrain any
further violation or threatened violation of this chapter.
Except as otherwise provided, in addition to the revocation or suspension of any license or permit issued under the provisions of this chapter, any person found to be in violation of any provision of this chapter shall be subject to forfeiture as provided in § 1-4 of this Code.
