[HISTORY: Adopted by the Common Council of the City of Jefferson 8-6-2002
by Ord. No. 7-02 as §§ 8.01 and 8.11
of the 2002 Code. Amendments noted where applicable.]
In order to conserve and promote the public health, safety, convenience
and general welfare, there is hereby adopted and established the Official
Map of the City, consisting of one sheet. Such map covers the area of the
City and the surrounding area over which the City has extraterritorial jurisdiction
in accordance with § 62.23(6), Wis. Stats. It is the further purpose
of the Official Map to show the width and location of streets, highways and
parkways in order to promote the efficient and economical development of the
City.
A certified copy of the Official Map shall be adopted and approved with
the text as a part of this chapter, shall bear upon its face the attestation
of the Mayor and City Clerk/Treasurer and shall be available to the public
in the office of the City Clerk/Treasurer. Changes thereafter to the Official
Map shall not be effective until entered and attested on this certified copy.
Immediately upon the adoption of this chapter, the City Clerk/Treasurer
shall file with the Register of Deeds of Jefferson County a certificate showing
that the City has established the Official Map as described in this chapter
and shall do likewise as to any change or addition.
The City Plan Commission, when passing upon a land subdivision plat
referred to it by the Common Council, shall not recommend such plat for approval
unless it conforms to the Official Map.
For the purpose of preserving the integrity of the Official Map, no
permit shall hereafter be issued for any building in the bed of any street,
highway, or parkway shown or laid out on such map, except as provided in § 62.23(6)(d)
or (g), Wis. Stats. The proper official authorized by the Common Council to
issue building permits shall require each applicant to submit a plot plan,
certified by a qualified surveyor, for approval. Such plot plan shall accurately
show the location of any proposed building with reference to any street as
shown on the Official Map.
