Video links regarding new shoreland zoning

There was a request at the lake association meeting for some additional information regarding new legislation surrounding shoreland zoning.  Bob Baker sent me the following information including links to a few videos.





Please share these video links ( by UWEX’s Lynn Markham) with your various lake partners, organizations and  agency staff who may be interested in the details.   They do a nice job setting the stage and discussing the various changes.

The Wisconsin Legislature has made major changes to shoreland zoning in 2015-16. These changes are described in three short video presentations:


1.      Introduction to shoreland zoning and recent changes to required shoreland lot sizes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h7NYG4pKI8



2.      Changes to shoreland setbacks, vegetation protection and impervious surface standards https://youtu.be/GKxMORINInw



3.      Changes to standards for buildings located close to the shoreline https://youtu.be/1otUl3HsmUs

Whole video (all three parts combined; 30 minutes) https://youtu.be/enus9Ceub2g

We hope these videos will be helpful for lake organizations, county board members, and others interested in lakes and rivers. Please contact me if you have any questions.

If you do not have easy access to YouTube and would prefer the videos through Dropbox or a DVD, let us know.
