ONEIDA COUNTY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SEEKS

FEEDBACK ON AMENDMENTS TO THE ONEIDA COUNTY

ZONING AND SHORELAND PROTECTION ORDINANCE.

The Oneida County Planning and Development Committee is conducting a survey to assess public opinion on boathouses and piers.  The survey will be conducted from July 14, 2014 through August 15, 2014.  The survey is web based and can be found at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NDT9S6S or by going to the Oneida County website at http://www.co.oneida.wi.gov and clicking on Announcements.

Oneida County currently allows boathouses with specific restrictions on the shore of a lake.  Oneida County and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources regulates the placement of piers on lakes, rivers and streams.  The survey will be asking specific questions on both topics.  The Committee wants to hear your opinions to assist them in formatting possible changes to the Oneida County Zoning and Shoreland Protection Ordinance.
