A.
Purpose and intent. The primary purpose of the C District is to preserve,
protect, and enhance the lakes, streams, swamps, marshes, bogs, other
wetlands, woodlands, and related scenic areas in the Village of Howards
Grove. The proper regulation of these areas will serve to maintain
and improve ground water and surface water quality; prevent flood
damage; protect fish and wildlife habitat; prohibit the location of
structures on soils which generally are not suitable for such use;
protect natural watersheds; control erosion and sedimentation; and
promote and maintain the natural beauty of the Village. In addition,
the C District will seek to assure the preservation and protection
of water-based recreation and open space resources, areas of significant
topography, natural watersheds, groundwater and surface water, potential
recreation sites, wildlife habitat, and other natural resource characteristics
that contribute to the environmental quality of the Village. This
district recognizes that undisturbed wetlands/woodlands serve as natural
purifiers for surface waters and as protective buffers at the land/water
interface.
B.
Lands included. The C District shall include minimally all areas delineated as swamps, marshes, bogs, and other wetlands on the Official Shoreland-Wetland Zoning Maps as described in Chapter 403, Shoreland-Wetland Zoning, of the Code of the Village of Howards Grove, as well as those shoreland, woodland, wetland and other areas identified as being of local concern.[1]
C.
Permitted uses. The following uses are permitted in the C District,
provided that such uses are conducted in accordance with sound conservation
practices and do not involve dumping; filling; extension of cultivated
areas; mineral, soil or peat removal; or any other activity that would
substantially disturb or impair the natural fauna, flora, watercourses,
water regimen, or topography:
(1)
Dugout ponds and level ditches.
(2)
Flood overflow and movement of water.
(3)
Forestry and game management.

of buildings or structures.

A.
Purpose and intent. The purpose of the CO District is identical to
that of the C District. The CO District shall be applied rather than
the C District in situations in which use of the C District would
split a parcel into two zoning classifications, i.e., where the boundary
of the C District does not follow the parcel boundary. In such cases,
such part of the parcel intended to be subject to conservancy restrictions
shall be subject to the CO District, and the underlying zoning classifications
shall control permissible uses on the balance of the parcel.
C.
Permitted uses. The following uses are permitted in the CO District,
provided that such uses are conducted in accordance with sound conservation
practices and do not involve dumping; filling; extension of cultivated
areas; mineral, soil or peat removal; or any other activity that would
substantially disturb or impair the natural fauna, flora, watercourses,
water regimen, or topography:
(1)
Dugout ponds and level ditches.
(2)
Flood overflow and movement of water.
(3)
Forestry and game management.
(4)
Fishing, wildlife preserves, and other historic/scientific areas.

of buildings or structures.
