z;, <br /> 31] AUGUST TERM, 1972. 13 ;I t <br /> ,I ":, <br /> Just v.Marinette County,56 Wis.2d 7. 1� <br /> and on which there is: (a) Filling of more than five I <br /> hundred square feet of any wetland which is contiguous <br /> to the water . . . (d) Filling or grading of more than <br /> 2,000 square feet on slopes of twelve percent or less." <br /> i <br /> • <br /> In April of 1961, several years prior to the passage of '. <br /> this ordinance, the Justs <br /> purchased 36.4 acres of land , ; <br /> in the town of Lake along the south shore of Lake No- <br /> quebay, a navigable lake in Marinette county. This land <br /> had a frontage of 1,266.7 feet on the lake and was pur- <br /> chased partially for personal use and partially for resale. rc, <br /> During the years 1964, 1966, and 1967, the Justs made <br /> five sales of parcels having frontage and extending back <br /> from the lake some 600 feet, leaving the property in- <br /> volved in these suits. This property has a frontage of <br /> 366.7 feet and the south one half contains a stand of <br /> cedar, pine, various hardwoods, birch and red maple. 1 t"i' }_ <br /> The north one half, closer to the lake, is barren of trees I <br /> except immediately along the shore. The south three <br /> fourths of this north one half is populated with various I+ <br /> r , <br /> plant grasses and vegetation including some plants which <br /> �i ;a <br /> N. C. Fassett in his manual of aquatic plants has classified ` <br /> as "aquatic." There are also nonaquatic plants which <br /> grow upon the land. Along the shoreline there is a belt <br /> of trees. The shoreline is from one foot to 3.2 feet high- ;, <br /> er than the lake level and there is a narrow belt of <br /> higher land along the shore known as a "pressure ridge" ` E . <br /> or "ice heave," varying in width from one to three feet. i �. <br /> South of this point, the natural level of the land ranges j s: <br /> one to two feet above lake level. The land slopes gener- t <br /> ally toward the lake but has a slope less than 12 percent. ''; <br /> No water flows onto the land from the lake, but there is <br /> , <br /> some surface water which collects on land and stands pi lip <br /> in pools. <br /> The land owned by the Justs is designated as swamps <br /> or marshes on the United States Geological Survey Map s4 <br /> and is located within 1,000 feet of the normal high-water <br /> a ¢� k <br /> i <br /> ry 4 <br /> 1, <br /> f <br /> t <br /> i. , <br />
