This ordinance is adopted pursuant to the authorization contained in Sections (planning & zoning authority), (zoning of shorelands on navigable waters) and (county zoning, adjustment board), and the requirements in s (floodplain zoning), Wis. Stats. (2) Finding of Fact. Uncontrolled development and use of floodplains, rivers or streams of Wood County, Wisconsin would adversely affect the public health, safety, convenience, general welfare and tax base. (3) Statement of Purpose. This ordinance is intended to regulate floodplain development to: A. Protect life, health and property; B. Minimize expenditures of public monies for flood control projects; C. Minimize rescue and relief efforts undertaken at the expense of the taxpayers; D. Minimize business interruptions and other economic disruptions; E. Minimize damage to public facilities in the floodplains; F. Minimize the occurrence of future flood blight areas in floodplains; G. Discourage the victimization of unwary land and home buyers; H. Prevent increases in flood heights that could increase flood damage and result in conflicts between property owners. I. Discourage development in a floodplain if there is any practicable alternative to locate the activity, use or structure outside of the floodplain. (4) Title. This ordinance shall be known as the Floodplain Zoning Ordinance for Wood County, Wisconsin

5 GENERAL PROVISIONS (1) Areas to be Regulated. This ordinance regulates all areas that would be covered by the regional flood or base flood as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) or other maps approved by the DNR. Base flood elevations are derived from the flood profiles in the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) and are shown as AE, A1-30, and AH Zones on the FIRM. Other regulatory zones are displayed as A and AO zones. Regional flood elevations (RFE) may be derived from other studies. If more than one map or revision is referenced, the most restrictive information shall apply. A. Annexed Areas for Cities and Villages. The Wood County floodplain zoning provisions in effect on the date of annexation shall remain in effect and shall be enforced by the annexing municipality for all annexed areas until the municipality adopts and enforces an ordinance which meets the requirements of ch. NR 116 (Wisconsin s Floodplain Management Program), Wis. Adm. Code and 44 CFR 59-72, National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). These annexed areas are described on the municipalities official zoning map. County floodplain zoning provisions are incorporated by reference for the purpose of administering this section and are on file at the municipality. All plats or maps of annexation shall show the regional flood elevation and the location of the floodway. (2) Official Maps and Revisions. The boundaries of all floodplain districts are designated as A, AE, AH, AO or A1-30 on the maps based on the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) listed below. Any change to the base flood elevations (BFE) or any changes to the boundaries of the floodplain or floodway in the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) or on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) must be reviewed and approved by the DNR and FEMA through the Letter of Map Change process (see s Amendments before it is effective. No changes to regional flood elevations (RFE s) on the non-fema maps shall be effective until approved by the DNR. These maps and revisions are on file in the Wood County Planning and Zoning Office. If more than one map or revision is referenced, the most restrictive information shall apply OFFICIAL MAPS : Based on the FIS: C0015G 55141C0016G 55141C0017G 55141C0018G 55141C0019G 55141C0040G 55141C0045G 55141C0065G 55141C0070G 55141C0090G 55141C0095G 55141C0115G 55141C0130G 55141C0135G 55141C0140G 55141C0145G 55141C0151G 55141C0152G 55141C0153G 55141C0154G 55141C0158G 55141C0160G 55141C0165G 55141C0166G 55141C0167G 55141C0168G 55141C0169G 55141C0180G 55141C0185G 55141C0190G 55141C0195G 55141C0205G 55141C0210G 55141C0215G 55141C0220G 55141C0230G 55141C0245G 55141C0265G 55141C0280G 55141C0285G 55141C0290G 55141C0295G 703-2

The regional floodplain areas are divided into three districts as follows: A. The Floodway District (FW) is the channel of a river or stream and those portions of the floodplain adjoining the channel required to carry the regional floodwaters and are contained within AE Zones as shown of the FIRM. B. The Floodfringe District (FF) is that portion of the floodplain between the regional flood limits and the floodway and displayed as AE Zones on the FIRM. C. The General Floodplain District (GFP) is those areas that have been or may be covered by flood water during the regional flood and does not have a BFE or floodway boundary determined, including A, AH and AO zones on the FIRM. (4) Locating Floodplain Boundaries. A. Discrepancies between boundaries on the official floodplain zoning map and actual field conditions shall be resolved using the criteria in paragraphs B. or C. below. If a significant difference exists, the map shall be amended according to s (Amendments). The Code Administrator can rely on a boundary derived from a profile elevation to grant or deny a land use permit, whether or not a map amendment is required. The zoning administrator shall 703-4

8 be responsible for documenting actual pre-development field conditions and the basis upon which the district boundary was determined and for initiating any map amendments required under this section. Disputes between the code administrator and an applicant over the location of the district boundary shall be settled according to s (5) D. (Boundary Disputes), of this Ordinance and the criteria in paragraphs B. and C. below. B. If flood profiles exist, the map scale and the profile elevations shall determine the district boundary. The regional or base flood elevations shall govern if there are discrepancies. C. Where flood profiles do not exist, the location of the district boundary line shall be determined by the map scale. Note: Where the flood profiles are based on established base flood elevations from a FIRM, FEMA must also approve any map amendment pursuant to s (Amendments). (5) Removal of Lands from Floodplain. Compliance with the provisions of this Ordinance shall not be grounds for the removal of lands from the floodplain unless; such lands are filled to a height of at least two (2) feet above the regional or base flood elevation, the fill is contiguous to land outside the floodplain, and the map is amended pursuant to Section (Amendments) of this Ordinance. (6) Effect of Floodplain Regulations. The regulations set forth in this Ordinance for floodplain, flood fringe and floodway districts shall apply to all floodplains, flood fringes and floodways mapped on the "official floodplain zoning map". [See definition (69)]. (7) Compliance. Any development or use within the areas regulated by this ordinance shall be in compliance with the terms of this ordinance, and other applicable local, state, and federal regulations. A. Unless specifically exempted by law, all cities, villages, towns, and counties are required to comply with this Ordinance and obtain all necessary permits. State Agencies are required to comply if Section (13), Wis. Stats., applies. The construction, reconstruction, maintenance and repair of state highways and bridges by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation is exempt when Section , Wis. Stats, applies. (8) Abrogation and Greater Restrictions. A. This Ordinance supersedes provisions of any county zoning ordinance relating to floodplains enacted under Section or , Wis. Stats. which relate to floodplains. If another ordinance is more restrictive than this ordinance, that ordinance shall continue in full force and effect to the extent of the greater restrictions, but not otherwise. B. It is not otherwise intended by this Ordinance to repeal, abrogate, or impair any existing deed restrictions, covenants or easements. Where this Ordinance imposes greater restrictions, the provisions of this Ordinance shall prevail

9 (9) Interpretation. In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this Ordinance are the minimum requirements and shall be liberally construed in favor of the governing body and are not a limitation on or repeal of any other powers granted by Wisconsin Statutes. If a provision of this Ordinance is required by Chapter NR 116, Wis. Admin. Code, and where the ordinance provision is unclear, the provision shall be interpreted in light of the Chapter NR 116 standards in effect on the date of adoption of this Ordinance or in effect on the date of the most recent text amendment to this Ordinance. (10) Warning and Disclaimer of Liability. The flood protection standards in this Ordinance are based on engineering experience and research. Larger floods may occur or the flood height may be increased by man-made or natural causes. This Ordinance does not imply or guarantee that non-floodplain areas or uses permitted within the floodplain, will be free from flooding or flood damages, nor shall this Ordinance create a liability on the part of or a cause of action against the County of Wood or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damage that may result from reliance on this Ordinance. (11) Severability. If any portion of this Ordinance is declared unconstitutional or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Ordinance shall not be affected. (12) General Standards Applicable To All Floodplain Districts. A. Wood County shall review all permit applications to determine whether proposed building sites will be reasonably safe from flooding. If a proposed building site is in a flood-prone area, all new construction and substantial improvements shall be designed and anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement of the structure resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads; be constructed with materials resistant to flood damage; be constructed to minimize flood damages; and ensure that utility and mechanical equipment is designed and/or located so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding. Subdivisions shall be reviewed for compliance with the above standards. All subdivision proposals (including manufactured home parks) shall include regional flood elevation and floodway data for any development that meets the subdivision definition of this ordinance and all other requirements in s (3)A. (Floodplain Permit). Adequate drainage shall be provided to reduce exposure to flood hazards and all public utilities and facilities, such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems area located and constructed to minimize or eliminate flood damages. B. Hydraulic and Hydrologic Analyses: Except as provided in Paragraph B below, no floodplain development shall: 1. Obstruct flow, defined as any development which blocks the conveyance of floodwaters by itself or with other development increasing regional flood height; or 703-6

10 2. Cause an increase in the regional flood height due to floodplain storage area lost; C. The Code Administrator shall deny permits where it is determined the proposed development will cause an obstruction to flow or increase in regional flood height, based on the officially adopted FIRM or other adopted map, unless the provisions of s (Amendments) are met. D. Watercourse Alterations. No land use permit to alter or relocate a watercourse in a mapped floodplain shall be issued until the local official has notified in writing all adjacent municipalities, the Department of Natural Resources and FEMA regional offices and required the applicant to secure all necessary state and federal permits. The standards of s (12)B. (Hydraulic and Hydrologic Analyses) must be met and the flood carrying capacity within the altered or relocated watercourse shall be maintained. As soon as is practical, but not later than six months after the date of the watercourse alteration or relocation and pursuant to s (Amendments), the Code Administrator shall apply for a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) from FEMA. Any such alterations must be reviewed and approved by FEMA and the DNR through the LOMC process. E. Development which requires a permit from the Department of Natural Resources, under Chapters 30 and 31, Wis. Stats., such as docks, piers, wharves, bridges, culverts, dams and navigational aids may be allowed provided the necessary local permits are obtained and necessary amendments to the floodplain zoning ordinance, are made according to s (Amendments).

C. The County shall keep a record which lists all nonconforming uses and nonconforming structures, their present equalized assessed value, and the cost of all additions or modifications which have been permitted, and the percentage of the structure's total current value those modifications represent D. No modification or addition to any nonconforming structure or any structure with a nonconforming use, which over the life of the structure would equal or exceed fifty percent (50%) of its present equalized assessed value, shall be allowed unless the entire structure is permanently changed to a conforming structure with a conforming use in compliance with the applicable requirements of this Ordinance. Contiguous dry land access must be provided for residential and commercial uses in compliance with Section (3) B (Residential). The costs of elevating a nonconforming building or a building with a nonconforming use to the flood protection elevation are excluded from the 50% provisions of the paragraph. E. No maintenance to any nonconforming structure or any structure with a nonconforming use, the cost of which would equal or exceed 50% of its present equalized assessed value, shall be allowed unless the entire structure is permanently changed to a conforming structure with a conforming use in compliance with the applicable requirements of this ordinance. Contiguous dry

20 land access must be provided for residential and commercial uses in compliance with s (3)B (Residential). F. If on a per event basis the total value of the work being done under (D) and (E) equals or exceeds 50% of the present equalized assessed value the work shall not be permitted unless the entire structure is permanently changed to a conforming structure with a conforming sue in compliance with the applicable requirements of this ordinance. Contiguous dry land access must be provided for residential and commercial uses in compliance with s (3) B (Residential). G. Except as provided in para. F, if any nonconforming structure or any structure with a nonconforming use is destroyed or is substantially damaged, it cannot be replaced, reconstructed or rebuilt unless the use and the structure meet the current requirements of this Ordinance. A structure is considered substantially damaged if the total cost to restore the structure to its predamaged condition equals or exceeds 50% of the structure s present equalized assessed value. H. For nonconforming structures that are substantially damaged or destroyed by a non-flood disaster, the repair or reconstruction of any such nonconforming building shall be permitted in order to restore it to the size and use in effect prior to the damage event, provided that the minimum federal code requirements below are met and all required permits have been granted prior to the start of construction. 1. Residential Structures a. Shall have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to or above the base flood elevation using fill, pilings, columns, posts or perimeter walls. Perimeter walls must meet the requirements of s (7) B (Floodproofing Standards for Nonconforming Structures or Uses). b.
