New Mitigation Requiremenets are Triggered when setback and impervious surfacer requirements are not met.
Property owners must perform mitigation if they want to exceed the 15 percent impervious surface standard or expand nonconforming structures cloer than the 75 feet. All mitigation must be proportional to the overall aspect of the property. Each county will determine their mitigation standards and they must comply with the goals set by the DNR. Mitigation could include restoring native habitat along the shoreline to removing an existing structure.
