MADISON - State environmental
officials have revised new shoreline building rules.
The Natural Resources Board
in June approved the first changes to the regulations in
more than 40 years. The Assembly Natural Resources
Committee, though, asked for revisions.
One of the key changes
reduces the zone around lakes where impervious surface
restrictions apply. Another generally prohibits horizontal
expansions on pre-existing structures within 75 feet of the
water, rather than 35 feet.
The rules will go into effect
early next year if no lawmakers object.
Rep. Spencer Black, a Madison
Democrat who leads the Assembly Natural Resources committee,
calls the rules a good compromise. A message left at the
office of Sen. Mark Miller, a Monona Democrat who chairs the
state Senate environmental committee, wasn't immediately
returned.
