A.
Zoning Map. The boundaries of the districts enumerated in § 410-16 above are hereby established as shown on a map entitled "Zoning Map, Town of Vinland, Wisconsin," as amended periodically, which is adopted by reference and made a part hereof. The Map shall bear upon its face the attestation of the Town Chairperson and the Town Clerk and shall be available to the public in the office of the Town Clerk.
B.
Boundary lines. The boundaries shall be construed to follow corporate
limits; United States Public Land Survey Lines; lot or property lines;
center lines of streets, highways, alleys, easements and railroad
rights-of-way or such lines extended, unless otherwise noted on the
Zoning Map.
C.
Vacation. Vacation of public streets and alleys shall cause the land
vacated to be automatically placed in the same district as the abutting
side to which the vacated land reverts.
D.
Unzoned lands. Unzoned lands located in the Town not otherwise zoned
or coming into the Town under Town zoning jurisdiction by any means
shall initially be placed in the A-2 General Farming District until
rezoned by the Town with approval of the Winnebago County Board.
E.
Residential districts interpretation. The residential zoning standards
of this chapter have been divided into those suitable for homesites
with public sewer and those for homesites dependent upon on-site sewage
disposal systems. Home sites developed on a scattered basis, disassociated
from any recorded subdivision or approved planned unit development
shall conform to the lot size and associated standards of the appropriate
residential district designated "nonsubdivided." The reduced lot size
and associated standards which accompany residential districts designated
as "subdivided" shall be utilized in determining optimum land use
in the process of establishing a duly recorded subdivision. Subdivided
lot sizes and standards shall not be applied to any unplatted lands
or assessor's plats and, when applied to existing plats, shall not
allow a reduction in recorded lot size without a replat of the affected
subdivision.
F.
Business district interpretation. The uses within each business district
have been grouped according to the expected intensity of the commercial
activity. Also, lot sizes have been adjusted according to service
by public sewer or on-site sanitary system.
A.
Purpose. The intent of this district is to provide a lot size and
associated standards for homesites developed on a scattered basis.
The criteria of this district are designed to provide reliable single-family
homesites in those areas where neighborhood and community facilities
and services are of secondary significance to the location of the
homesite itself.
B.
Permitted uses. Permitted uses in this district are as follows:
(1)
Incidental agricultural activities when the site is used as a farm
homesite or the following uses, provided that they shall be of noncommercial
nature:
(a)
Nurseries and orchards.
(c)
Raising of chickens, for personal use whether or not incidental
to agricultural activities, requirements are not to exceed eight hens
(female chickens). Roosters (male chickens) are prohibited. Containment
on property is required.
(d)
Smaller "hobby" type animals such as rabbits, hares, etc. -
not to include those animals of such size or character as to normally
be considered to be big game, e.g., lions, tigers, bears, etc., and
not to include furbearing animals, e.g., mink, chinchilla, etc., except
for rabbits.
[Amended 6-11-2013]
C.

(1)
In addition to those stated elsewhere in this chapter, the following
shall be conditional uses:
(2)

Utilities and associated structures, provided all principal
structures and uses are not less than 50 feet from any residential
district lot line.
(b)

There shall be a minimum lot area of five acres to consider
the raising and keeping of stable animals and domestic livestock.
(c)
Where the application is for the raising and keeping of stable
animals or domestic livestock or for the development of orchards or
nurseries, the applicant must reserve sufficient area for the relocation
of the residential structure's drain field. Such reserved area must
be verified as suitable by a certified soil tester or by detailed
soil maps. Furthermore, the reserved area must be safeguarded from
heavy traffic and shall be located so as to comply with the setback
standards of Table 383.43-1 in § SPS 383.43, Wis. Adm. Code,
and the Winnebago County Sanitary Ordinance[1] - both for existing and future structures.
[1]
Editor's Note: See Ch. 16 of the Winnebago County Code.

this minimum distance.)
A.
Purpose. The intent of this district is to provide a lot size and
associated standards for homesites in a duly recorded and legally
maintained subdivision. The criteria of this district have been designated
to provide reliable single-family homesites in those developing areas
which do not have public sanitary sewer but which offer a suburban
arrangement of amenities, services, facilities, etc.
B.
Permitted uses. Permitted uses in this district are as follows:
(1)
One-family dwellings on lots, which have been developed and recorded according to Ch. 236, Wis. Stats., and Chapter 361, Subdivision of Land, of this Code, for lots not served by public sanitary sewer. These shall be single-family dwellings, excluding all mobile homes; for purposes of this chapter, manufactured homes are included in the definition of single-family dwelling.
(2)
Manufactured homes complying with all of the following requirements
and limitations:
(a)
The home shall be a double wide of at least 25 feet in width
and 36 feet in length.

color and texture appears to be an integral part of the adjacent exterior
wall of the manufactured home.
(d)
The home shall be covered by a roof pitched at a minimum slope of three inches in 12 inches, which is permanently covered with nonreflective material. (See also § 410-14.)
(e)
The home shall have a pitched roof, overhanging eaves and such
other design features required of all new single-family dwellings
located within the Town of Vinland.

Conditional uses. Conditional uses in this district shall be as follows:
(1)
In addition to those stated elsewhere in this chapter, the following
shall be conditional uses:
(2)
In addition to those stated elsewhere in this chapter, the following
shall be conditional uses:
(a)
Utilities and associated structures, provided all principal
structures and uses are not less than 50 feet from any residential
district lot line.
(b)
Governmental and cultural uses, except the Town Hall, Town offices
and Town fire stations shall be considered principal uses; they shall
require conditional use approval.
(c)
One-time deposit, except in a Floodplain/Shoreland District,
subject to receiving DNR permits.
D.
Basic district standards. The basic lot standards in this district
shall be as follows:

of the structure; minimum area of 1,000 square feet.
A.
Purpose. The intent of this district is to provide a lot size and
associated standards for a homesite which will accommodate the use
of a duplex housing type. Since the two-family dwelling produces a
divergent occupancy pattern from that of the traditional single-family
dwelling, duplex zoning - when desired - should be applied on a district
basis, adjacent to but not within the character of the single-family
neighborhood in which it is to be located.
C.
Conditional uses. Conditional uses in this district shall be as follows:
(1)
In addition to those stated elsewhere in this chapter, the following
shall be conditional uses:

Medical clinics.
D.
Basic district standards. The basic lot standards in this district
shall be as follows:
A.
Purpose. The intent of this district is to provide residential development
of walk-up type apartment buildings which provide rental housing to
be built within the economies of scale, while retaining a relatively
low density pattern. The use of this district should be applied to
those locations in the neighborhood in which it will be compatible
with surrounding uses; where the increased density would not create
a service problem; and where the use will accommodate both the existing
or anticipated character of the surrounding area and the future needs
of the multiple-family development itself.
B.
Permitted uses. Permitted uses in this district shall be as follows:
(1)
Multiple-family dwellings on lots served by public sanitary sewers.
C.
Conditional uses. Conditional uses in this district shall be as follows:

and Town fire stations shall be considered principal uses; they shall
require conditional use approval.

(3)
All conditional uses specified under the R-2 Two-Family Residential
District.

development area with standards designed to encourage creativity in
the arrangement and placement of residential dwellings. To this end,
the district allows a diversity of dwelling types, open spaces, and
uses conceived and planned as comprehensive and cohesive projects.
Furthermore, the application of this district should produce a more
rational and economic use of land and public services while encouraging
the preservation of open space.

(3)
Elevator apartments in excess of 35 feet in height when distance
between the subject building and other structures and/or from property
lines is increased at a rate of two feet for each additional five
feet of height of the building over the first 35 feet of height.

[Amended 6-9-2014; effective 6-24-2014]
(An underlying zoning district is required in conjunction with
this section.)
A.
Purpose. The intent of this district is to provide a means of properly
regulating and reclaiming sites which are located primarily by their
geological characteristics rather than a planning and zoning process.
All uses in the M-3 Extraction or Landfill Overlay District are excluded
from the Town of Vinland A-1 Farmland Preservation District.
B.
Permitted uses. Mineral extraction operations and landfill sites
that are presently in existence.
C.
Conditional uses. Conditional uses in the district shall include
all conditional uses listed in the underlying district. In addition,
the following are permitted conditional uses:
(1)
Extension of legally existing mineral extraction operation or the
creation of a new such extraction operation.
(2)
New mineral extraction operations and the following: landfills; solid waste management facilities; recycling centers; bioremediation sites; and soil extraction or scraping for purposes of obtaining fill material for such large-scale operations as landfill sealing, roadbed construction, etc.; or similar uses. These uses shall be a conditional use in all zoning district except in the R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, R-5 and MH-1 Districts. Conditional use procedures, as described in Article IV, shall be adhered to as well as the requirements of this section.
D.
Basic district standards.
(1)
Basic standards. The basic standards in this district shall be controlled
by those of the underlying district unless more restrictive standards
are established in the conditional use approval. Also, excavations
or fill areas within 200 feet from any right-of-way or property line
shall not be permitted unless the Town Board determines that the operational
plans adequately provide for:
(a)
Safety of abutting land uses and for safe ingress to, egress
from and traffic flow past the site.
(b)
Aesthetic screening from abutting properties.
(c)
Dust control from the operation and/or any stockpiling.
(d)
Staging of the operation to produce a minimal time frame between
commencing of operations and restoration within this two-hundred-foot
area.
(2)
Permit validity; operational requirements. The conditional use permit
shall be in effect for a period not to exceed two years and may be
renewed upon application for a period not to exceed two years; a shorter
period may be established by Town Board action. Modification or additional
conditions may be imposed upon application for renewal. Operational
requirements shall include the following, where applicable:
(a)
Fencing or other suitable barriers shall be erected as necessary
to protect the public.
(b)
Machinery, roads and equipment used in the extractive operation
shall be constructed, maintained and operated in such a manner as
to minimize dust.
(c)
Crushing, washing, refining or other processing, other than
the initial removal of material, may be permitted as an accessory
use only as specifically authorized under the terms of the grant of
permit.
(d)
Planting of trees and shrubs and other appropriate landscaping
shall be provided where deemed necessary by the Town and other applicable
agencies.
(e)
Hours of operation may be established.
(3)
Plan of reclamation. A reclamation plan meeting the standards of
Ch. NR 135, Wis. Adm. Code, shall be submitted and approved by Winnebago
County and other applicable agencies.
E.
Existing operations. Existing operations shall be subject to the
following further requirements:
(1)
Permit. Within 60 days after the original adoption of this section,
all existing extractive operations shall be required to register with
the Zoning Administrator, submitting pertinent data relative to the
present operation, including the boundaries of the actual operation
and of the ownership. A permit shall be granted to such existing operation,
subject to compliance with the operational requirements listed above,
where they can be reasonably applied under existing circumstances.
(2)
Plan for restoration. There shall be required within one year after
original adoption of this section the submission of a plan for restoration
of the site of existing extractive operations as provided above. The
plan for restoration in such case shall not, however, impose requirements
which are economically or for engineering reasons unreasonable with
respect to conditions resulting from operations prior to enactment
of this section.
F.
Renewal permit. Within two years after the original date of this
section, any such existing operation unless permitted as a use by
right shall be required to make application for a renewal permit the
same as for reapplication in the case of a new operation under this
section.
G.
Plan of operation. All mineral extraction operations including those
operations and activities which lawfully existed prior to the original
adoption of this section shall prepare a plan of operation for the
site, which shall include the following information:
(1)
Statement of ownership of the parcel and control of the operations.
(2)
A site plan, drawn to scale, showing the lateral extent of existing
and proposed excavations; the location and width of all easements
and rights-of-way on or abutting the site; existing water bodies,
watercourses and drainageways and proposed modifications; estimated
direction of flow of groundwater; the location of existing and proposed
buildings, structures, machinery and equipment; and the location of
all existing and proposed storage and stockpiling areas.
(3)
Cross sections of the site, drawn to scale, showing the vertical
extent of existing and proposed excavations.
