AB940,1,2
1An Act to amend 30.44 (1) (c) 3. of the statutes;
relating to: the painting of
2farmhouses located in the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law imposes certain restrictions on structures that are located in the
Lower Wisconsin State Riverway and that are visible from the river. One of these
restrictions is that the visual impact of structures must be minimized by using
exterior colors that harmonize with the surroundings, except that structures that are
for agricultural use may be painted in a traditional manner in red or white. This bill
includes farmhouses as agricultural-use structures, thus allowing them to be so
painted.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
AB940, s. 1
3Section
1. 30.44 (1) (c) 3. of the statutes is amended to read:
AB940,1,84
30.44
(1) (c) 3. Visual impact shall be minimized by the use of exterior colors
5that harmonize with the surroundings and by the limited use of glass or other
6reflective materials, except that a structure that is for agricultural use may be
7painted in a traditional manner in red or white.
For purposes of this subdivision, a
8"structure that is for agricultural use" includes a farmhouse.
