Return to Search

Purpose

Bayfield County proposes to implement a county-wide lake and shoreland project that will culminate in the development, adoption, and implementation of a revised set of shoreland provisions of the Bayfield County Zoning Ordinance. This project will include four (4) basic components; 1. Further refinement of the existing "Lakes Classification" information, 2. Education and training, 3. Development of information to support the learning process, and 4. Drafting and implementation of the management policies. Activities associated with this project will include; development of a specific management zone, or overlay district for all areas within 1000 feet of each Bayfield County lake, pond or flowage, establishment of distinct management strategies (and revised ordinance language) for each of these "districts" dependent upon lake classification, development of a GIS database and digitized parcel mapping, development of I&E materials for shoreland protection and information on new regulations, etc., involvement of an "Ad Hoc" citizen advisory committee to hold public meetings, etc. and draft ordinance amendment recommendations, and the final compilation of ordinance revisions by the zoning committee and a contracted professional service. Project deliverables for this project would include a copy of the final comprehensive written report. The Department of Natural Resources will be provided with both a paper copy and an electronic copy of all project products and periodic reports on the progress of the project. The project results will be disseminated to the public by newsletter(s), or public meeting(s), and/or local newspaper article(s).
