The types of activities regulated by existing county / state erosion control and post-construction stormwater standards typically do not take place in the Village. Specifically, county and state regulations typically apply only to the following:
Since the Village is fully-built and
surrounded on all sides by After much discussion, the Village Stormwater Committee and Stakeholder Group recommended that the Village adopt and administer its own erosion control and stormwater ordinance. It would be applied to the type of land disturbing development activities that commonly occur in the Village. Specifically, the Committee and Group recommended regulating:
Part of an approximate $78,000 dollar
stormwater grant the Village received from the DNR was used to hire
consultants to help draft the ordinance.
The Village will use a tiered approach to stormwater and erosion
control regulation. Under
the proposed ordinance, county and state standards apply to sites that
meet the aforementioned state and county applicability criteria.
Additionally, under the proposed Village ordinance, full erosion
requirements apply to all land disturbing activities taking place less
than 50 feet upslope from the lake. Further
more, less stringent regulations apply to sites that involve 500 square
feet or more of land disturbing activity and / or that result in the
creation of 250 square feet or more of new impervious area. These less
stringent regulations include creation and implementation of a
simplified erosion control plan, attenuation of 20% of suspended solids
in runo Many home remodeling projects that involve additions
will fall under these regulations. The Village is now preparing an
application manual and simplified instructions on how to comply with the
ordinance. Rain gardens,
rain barrels, directing downspouts o
