sub-division ordinances.
The sanitary provisions contained in Sections 3.0 through 5.0;

and the relevant sanitary and subdivision regulation administrative
provisions of Sections 17.0 through 20.0 of this Ordinance shall
apply throughout the unincorporated area of the County of St. Croix.

Section 10.0 for nonconforming uses. ) Buildings, signs, private water
supply and sewage disposal systems shall require a permit unless other-
wise expressly excluded by the requirements of this ordinance.
2.3 abrogation and Greater Restrictions
31 This Ordinance supersedes all provisions of any county zoning
ordinance enacted under Section 59.97 Wisconsin Statutes that
relate to shorelands. However, the provisions of the existing county
zoning ordinance and map of St, Croix County, Vvisconsin, dated
November, 1964, are hereby incorporated by reference and shall, to
-4-
Statutes and Chapters H55, 1-161, H63 and 5.66, 7 isconsin
Administrative Code. These rules, regulations and laws shall
apply until amended and then shall apply as amended. The pro-
visions of this Ordinance shall control where more restrictive.
4. 2 Public Sewer
All plumbing fixtures shall be connected to a public sanitary sewer
system where available. Vhere such a public sewer system is not
available a private sewage disposal system may be used. Privies
shall be discontinued and replaced with water-flush toilets within
one (1) year after a public sewer system becomes available, in
accordance with Section Ind. 22.12 of the V isconsin l dministrative
Code.
5.3 Private Sewage Disposal
The provision herein does not cover tracts of land as covered in
Section 16.75 of this Ordinance.
5. 31 Sanitary Permit and State Septic Tank Permit
(1) Sanitary Permit Required: Mork on a structure or facility
requiring private sewage disposal facilities shall not
begin until a sanitary permit has been issued by St. Croix
County. No septic tank system shall be installed, extended
enlarged, converted, or structurally altered without a
sanitary permit and without full compliance--with the
provisions of this Ordinance, including minimum
absorption areas as determined by percolation tests, and
all city, village, town, state,and other applicable regula-
tions.
-9-
(4) Pursuant to 1 .32.20, the slope of the sewer for the ten (10)
feet preceding the septicor treatment tank shall not exceed one-
quarter inch per foot.
(5) The inlet and outlet pipes between the septic or treatment tank
to stable ground shall be cast iron with lead and oakum joints,
or other pipes and joints approved for this purpose by the
State Board of Eealth or other state agency designated by
law to make such an approval.
(6) Maintenance: Pursuant to H 62. 20(6)(f), septic tanks shall
be cleaned whenever the sludge and scum occupies one-third
of the volume of the tank.
5.34 Soil Absorption Fields
(1) General requirements
No site for a private sewerage system shall be approved:
(a) where there is less than three (3) feet of soil
between the bottom of the proposed tile field or
seepage pit and high groundwater or bedrock; or
(b) where the percolation rate in any test hole is slower than
one (1) inch in sixty (60) minutes.
(c) Cesspools for disposal of untreated sewage are prohibited.
(d) No storm water, roof drains, footing drains or clear water
drains shall discharge into a private sewage disposal system.
(2) Soil Conditions Necessary for Construction of Septic Tank
Soil Absorption Systems:

the site and at the depth at which the system will be installed
and the results verified by a Sanitary Technician. The results
of these tests will determine the seepage pit and tile field size
according to the specifications of H 62, Visconsin Idministrative
Code contained in the following table:

(c) Slopes
Where slopes exceed 15 percent, it becomes increasingly
difficult to install private waste disposal systems in conformity
with the applicable regulations, and the unequal distribution of
effluent often causes early failure of the soil absorption field,
resulting in the seepage of liquid wastes onto the land surface.
Soil absorption systems shall not be constructed where land
s}opesare 15 percent or more or where there are slopes of more

16.8 Planned Residential Unit Development
16.81 Purpose
Grouping of residences in cluster subdivisions will permit
individual minimum lot si-/es to be reduced provided overall
density within the subdivision is maintained. The remaining
undeveloped area within the subdivision is to be used to provide
common open space and preserve the scenic qualities of the
shoreland area. Grouping of residences facilitates common water
supply and sewage disposal systems.
16. 82 Review
The preliminary plat for a proposed cluster subdivision shall
-5s-
be reviewed by the Department of Resource Development and any
regional planning commission of which the county is a member in
addition to the other required approving and objecting authorities. The
County Planning Agency and the Department of Resource Development
shall consider the effect of the proposed cluster development of the
carrying capacity of the lake, the erosion potential of the shore, the
water supply and waste disposal potential of the soil and sub-surface
geology, the scenic beauty of the lake, and other pertinent factors
listed in Section 1. 3 of this Ordinance.
16.63 Requirements
Proposed Planned Unit developments shall include a minimum of
fifty (50) acres and shall be platted according to the subdivision
regulation requirements of this Ordinance. The maximum permitted
number of lots on such development shall be determined by dividing
the total area of the subdivision, excluding streets, by the minimum
lot sizes required by Section 16.75 of this Ordinance. Excess land
not used for lots and streets shall be dedicated in perpetuity to remain in
open space. This may be accomplished by conveyance in common to
each of the owners of lots in the development or by dedication to the
county, town or municipality. Lands dedicated to the public must be
accepted by action of the governing body of the accepting unit of
government. If the land is to be conveyed to owners of lots in the
development, a homeowners association or similar legally constitued
body shall be
54
created to maintain the open space land. I ny restriction placed on platted
land by covenant, grant of easement or any other manner which was required
by a public body or which names a public body as grantee, promisee or
beneficiary, shall vest in the public body the right to enforce the restriction
at law or in equity against anyone who has or acquires an interest in the land
subject to the restriction.
Vater supply and sewage disposal shall meet the minimum standards of
the State Board of Health, the Department of Resource Development, Section
3.0 and 5.0 of this Ordinance and other applicable regulations. Tree
cutting provisions of Section 8.0 of this Ordinance shall apply except
that maximum width of a lake frontage opening shall be one hundred (100)
feet.
