Improving
Iron County’s Shoreland Protection Ordinance
After
comparing Iron County’s current Shoreland Protection Ordinance (SPO) to that of
other counties in the Northwoods and the statewide minimum standards as
outlined in NR115, Iron County Lakes and Rivers Association (ICLRA) is
recommending specific improvements to the county’s SPO that will best reflect
the needs of the local citizens and aquatic resources. If all adopted, these
changes will work in concert to protect the beauty and character of our
shorelines, improve the clarity of our waters, protect property values on our
shores, and improve the fishing. The following recommendations fall within nine
areas and are based upon successful practices being implemented in other
counties in the north.
