ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURES
Septic
System
Cottage
Glen's waste disposal system is a state-of-the-art at-grade aerobic
biological system. Waste water is processed through a series of
underground tanks utilizing a microbial-aeration technology that
reduces the wastewater to essentially potable water before it is
released to the drainfield.
Prairie
The
3.5 acre drainfield is being restored to a natural Wisconsin
prairie containing nearly two dozen species of native grasses and
wildflowers. Prairie Nurseries of Westfield, Wisconsin was retained
to undertake this restoration.
Bluff
Along
the southern edge of Cottage Glen, there is a five (5) acre bluff
that has been protected with a perpetual conservation easement.
From this preserved setting one can see the waters of Ellison Bay
and Green Bay.
Water
A
high volume community well serves all the homes at Cottage Glen.
The system includes a well house containing a 3,600 gallon pressure
tank and an underground 11,000 gallon tank reserve. The quality of
water will be monitored on an ongoing basis to comply with the
State of Wisconsin municipal standards.
Surface
Coverage
The
developers have chosen to construct less than 2 units per acre on
the site and have determined to have an impervious surface ratio of
less than 20%. The impervious surface ratio includes all buildings,
roads, parking, and other improvements that restrict the absorption
of water.
Drainage
A comprehensive drainage plan, approved by Door County, has been
implemented to ensure proper surface water management.
Recycling
A
recycling center is located on the
property.
