PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE SAWYER COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE

Purpose of the amendment: Create a new “Wilderness Development” lake classification.

*Note Two faimly dwelling/duplex.

4.418 LIST OF LAKES CLASSIFICATION 

The following classification lists identify lakes named in “Surface Water Resources of Sawyer County:” four acres and larger in size published by Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and appearing by name on the 1:24000 scale topographic maps published by the U.S. Geological Survey, commonly referred to as the U.S.G.S. Quadrangle Maps.

Named lakes under less than four acres in size and all unnamed lakes listed in the “Surface Water Resources of Sawyer County”, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources are considered Class 3 (4) Wilderness Development protection lakes.

It should be noted that Sawyer County’s shoreline regulation jurisdiction extends only to those portions of shoreline outside the boundaries of any incorporated municipality.

Development standards for rivers and streams refer to all rivers and streams in Sawyer County deemed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to be navigable.

The A-1 (Agricultural One), A-2 (Agricultural Two) and F-1 (Forestry One) Zone Districts supersede the General Development (1), Recreational Development (2), Natural Development (3) and Rivers and Streams Lake Classification Development Standards.

The Township of Spider Lake existing zone district dimensional requirements supersede the General Development (1), Recreational Development (2), Natural Development (3) and Rivers and Streams Lake Classification Development Standards.
