This chapter for floodplain protection is adopted pursuant to
the authorization contained in §§ 61.35, 62.23 and
87.30, Wis. Stats.
The uncontrolled use of the floodplains, rivers or streams of
the Village of Tigerton, Wisconsin, would adversely affect the public
health, safety, convenience and general welfare and impair its tax
base.
The purpose of this chapter is to provide a uniform basis for
the preparation, implementation and administration of sound floodplain
regulations for all floodplains within the Village of Tigerton to:
A.
Protect life, health and property;
B.
Minimize expenditures of public monies for costly flood control projects;
C.
Minimize rescue and relief efforts, generally undertaken at the expense
of the general public;
D.
Minimize business interruptions which usually result in the loss
of local incomes;
E.
Minimize damage to public facilities on the floodplains such as water
mains, sewer lines, streets and bridges;
F.
Minimize the occurrence of future flood blight areas on floodplains;
and
G.
Discourage the victimization of unwary land and home buyers.
This chapter shall be known as the "Floodplain Zoning Ordinance
for the Village of Tigerton, Wisconsin."
