SHORELAND AND RIPARIAN MANAGEMENT PLAN


Here we go again. Just to confuse the issue, Dane County, in it's infinite wisdom is now trying to expand their reach with regard to "shoreland" and "riparian" property owners.

The new plan being proposed is even more broad reaching than anything having to do with the current Ordinance Amendment 2 in that if it is passed, it will affect not only "shoreland" owners in the towns throughout Dane County but also all cities and villages.

Currently we estimate this to impact a MINIMUM of 44,000 properties within Dane County.


Those watching this have asked for an economic impact study to be completed on this. This first request was made earlier this year and as yet to be acting upon.

HOW DO THEY NOT SEE WHAT THE ECONOMIC IMPACT WOULD BE TO THIS?

Here's the point, all of those 44,000+ properties, if this passes, would be deemed "non-conforming use". This becomes an issue for resale, improvement to the property and truly limits each property owner's property rights.
As I receive more information on this, I'll be certain to post it here. We are focusing our resources to get the word out about this.
