Subdivision of land — See Ch. 235.
The Official Map is established in order to provide for orderly, safe
and economical expansion of the community by designating the location and
extent of existing and proposed streets, highways and parks on an official
map; to ensure proper legal descriptions and monumenting of land; to facilitate
adequate provision for transportation, parks, playgrounds and stormwater drainage;
and to facilitate further subdivision of larger tracts into smaller parcels
of land.
The Official Map is intended to be final and conclusive with respect
to the location and extent of streets, highways and parks shown on the map.
The Village Board may change or add to the map if it is determined to be in
the public interest. Changes and additions shall be made in accordance with
procedures in Wis. Stat. § 62.23. The placing of proposed streets,
highways or parks upon the Official Map shall not constitute or be deemed
to constitute the opening or establishment of such streets, highways or parks,
or the taking or acceptance of any land for such purposes.
The Plan Commission shall require that all subdivision plats and certified
survey maps conform to the Official Map. All streets within recorded subdivisions
and certified survey maps approved by the Plan Commission and Village Board
shall become a part of the Official Map. No building permit shall be issued
for any structure in the bed of any street or highway shown on the Official
Map and no permit for the erection of any structure shall be issued unless
a street or highway giving access to the structure has been duly placed on
such map, except as provided in Wis. Stat. § 62.23. The Building
Inspector shall require each applicant to submit a plot plan
(unless the site is a lot in a recorded subdivision plat or certified survey
map), certified by a registered surveyor, showing accurately the location
of any proposed building with reference to the adjacent streets, highways
or parks shown on the Official Map.
The Board of Appeals shall have the power to grant relief from the requirements
of this chapter in accordance with the provisions of Wis. Stat. § 62.23(6)(d),
(e) and (g).
The Official Map shall be amended by specific reference, pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 62.23(6)(c), or by provision of law, pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 62.23(6)(d), such as annexation ordinances and actions taken pursuant to Chapter 235 of this Code.
