Mitigation provides balancing measures that are designed, implemented and function to restore natural functions and values that are otherwise lost through development and human activities. Mitigation is necessary when the amount of impervious surface on a property is increased as described in section 11.3 and 11.4 as well as the lateral expansion of a legal, nonconforming structure as described in section 9.3 of the Shawano County Shoreland Ordinance.
A site plan with the following requirements will be reviewed by the Zoning Administrator or his/or her designee:
A drawing prepared to scale or dimensioned showing existing and proposed improvements with corresponding distances to property lines, private sewage system components, roadway centerlines, and ordinary high water mark.
A complete listing of mitigation standards meeting the requirements of section 12.2 and where those practices will occur on the property.
Where standard erosion control practices will be implemented and a description of what those practices are.
Location of the view/access corridor.
Location of existing vegetation on the property.
An implementation schedule for the mitigation standards.
Under no circumstances shall a permit be issued until a site plan, as referenced above, has been submitted to and approved by the County Zoning Department. The site plan shall, upon approval, be recorded in the County Register of Deeds Office upon which time required permits for development can be obtained. The approved site plan must be implemented within one year [CH1] from the date of permit issuance and completed within two years from the date of permit issuance. A mitigation plan will not be determined complete until a final inspection has been performed by the County Zoning Department.
