RE: After-The-Fact Land Use Permit, Shoreland Overlay District Chapter 17.30
Town of St. Joseph, Parcel ID 030-2073-40-200, Alternate ID 36.30.20.625B-20
Community Development Department staff have reviewed the after-the-fact permit application for land
disturbance activity affecting slopes 20-24.9% which drain directly to a navigable waterbody. The project
to remove an invasive species (Buckthorn) is an allowed use, however any alteration or disturbance that
results in soil erosion and sedimentation on steep slopes requires a permit. The navigable water body is
mapped on the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Surface Water Data Viewer an unnamed
waterbody. The request is conditionally approved as explained below.
1. The removal of trees and shrubs in the vegetative buffer zone is permissible if found necessary to
manage exotic or invasive species. According to Wis. Stat. 59.692 (1f) and NR 115.05 (1) (c) a
viewing and access corridor is allowed and has been identified in the application to be at least 35-feet
wide for every 100-feet of shoreline frontage; the viewing corridor may run contiguously for the entire
maximum width.
2. Erosion control was installed on disturbed areas immediately adjacent to the waterbody. Any area that
is left open must be covered with seed/mulch or an erosion control blanket within ten days of this
approval.
3. The erosion control blanket installed must remain in place until the disturbed area has reached a point
of at least 70% permanent vegetative cover.
a. Erosion control must be repaired, replaced, or supplemented if it becomes nonfunctional.
b. If permanent seeding does not establish by September 15, 2016 then a cover crop, such as
winter wheat, annual outs or annual ryegrass, should be applied to disturbed areas
according to WDNR Technical Standard 1059. This standard can be found on the DNR
website: http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/stormwater/standards/. Permanent seeding will need to be
reapplied in the spring.
c. Phosphorous fertilizer shall not be used to establish and/or maintain vegetation, unless a
soil test confirms phosphorous is needed.
4. Failure to comply with the terms or conditions above may result in the revocation of this permit by the
Zoning Administrator according to Chapter 17.30 (13).
