Any new decks or sheds from this date forward would be required to obtain a Land Use Permit and meet all the requirements of the Waupaca County Zoning Ordinance and they may also require a Building Permit from the local Building Inspector. But any existing structures that are in violation of the Waupaca County Shoreland Zoning Ordinance and/or the Waupaca County Floodplain Ordinance will need to be brought into compliance in accordance with the four (4) year compliance schedule.
