Ask For A Review Before You Build

The Natural Resources Review Program evaluates properties with the primary goal of minimizing the negative effects from development to the property and neighboring land. Ideally a review is conducted prior to a zoning permit being issued or approved.  

Features of a natural resources review include:

• soil types including limitations and capabilities of soils
• surface drainage patterns
• known subsurface drainage/tile
• floodplains
• setbacks based on zoning regulations including access management
• established drainage projects and associated setbacks
• adjoining landowners – including contact information
• location of known utilities
• general placement of structures and other key features
• contacts for agencies related to needs of property
