[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
Any person who violates this chapter shall, upon conviction, be subject to the forfeiture amount in the Fine and Forfeiture Schedule of the Town of Wescott that shall be as set from time to time by resolution by the Town of Wescott. Each violation and each day a violation continues or occurs shall constitute a separate offense.
In case any building or structure is or is proposed to be erected, constructed, reconstructed, altered, converted or maintained, or any building, structure or land is or is proposed to be used in violation of this chapter or of any ordinance or other regulation made under the authority conferred hereby, the proper authorities of the Town, or any adjacent or neighboring property owner who would be specially damaged by such violation may, in addition to other remedies, institute appropriate action or proceedings to prevent such unlawful erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration, conversion, maintenance of use; to restrain, correct or abate such violation; to prevent the occupancy of said building, structure or land; or to prevent any illegal act, conduct, business or use in or about such premises.
A. 
Shawano County has a Shoreland Zoning Ordinance that regulates any development or building of a structure within: 300 feet of a navigable creek, stream, or river or to the landward side of the floodplain; or 1,000 feet of a flowage, pond, or lake. Before construction begins within these distances, a land use permit must be applied for at the Shawano County Zoning Office. Shoreland Zoning Maps are available for visual inspection in the Shawano County Zoning Office. If necessary, a conclusive determination of navigability can be made through an on-site visit by the Shawano County Zoning Office staff or Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources staff.
B. 
The Wescott Zoning Ordinance also regulates land use within the County Shoreland Zoning jurisdiction, and a building permit must be obtained from Town's Building Inspector prior to construction within the Shoreland Zoning boundary. Before a permit can be issued, the applicant must provide the Zoning Administrator with correspondence from Shawano County that the proposed use of the property is in compliance with the County's Shoreland Zoning Ordinance.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has established setback requirements based on the quality of a wetland area. The general location of wetlands can be found on the Wisconsin Wetland Inventory Maps located at the County Zoning Office. A conclusive determination of the location of a possible wetland area can only be made through an on-site visit by a DNR certified wetland specialist and verified by the DNR resources staff.
