Wisconsin Shoreline Protection
New changes may be coming to shoreline protection rules in Wisconsin.
"Wisconsin’s shoreland protection rules were first created in 1968. They largely apply to unincorporated areas -- those outside city and village boundaries. Under the proposal, basic provisions of the shoreland protection rules would remain unchanged, including the 75 foot setback from the shoreline for new structures and minimum lot sizes of 20,000 square feet (10,000 square feet for sub-standard lots). The new rule would implement a 35 foot limit on the height of shoreland structures."
