A.
The lawful nonconforming use of a structure or land
existing at the time of the adoption or amendment of this chapter
may be continued although the use does not conform with the provisions
of this chapter. However, only that portion of the land in actual
use may be so continued, and the structure may not be extended, enlarged,
reconstructed, substituted, moved or structurally altered except when
required to do so by law or order or so as to comply with the provisions
of this chapter.
B.
Total lifetime structural repairs or alterations shall
not exceed 50% of the Village's assessed value of the structure at
the time of its becoming a nonconforming use unless it is permanently
changed to conform to the use provisions of this chapter.
C.
Substitution of new equipment may be permitted by
the Zoning Board of Appeals if such equipment will reduce the incompatibility
of the nonconforming use with the neighboring uses.
If any nonconforming use is discontinued or
terminated for a period of 12 months, any future use of the structure
or land shall conform to the provisions of this chapter. When a nonconforming
use or structure is damaged by fire, explosion, flood, public enemy
or other calamity, to the extent of more than 50% of its current assessed
value, it shall not be restored except so as to comply with the use
provisions of this chapter. A nonconforming structure damaged or destroyed
by violent wind, vandalism, fire, flood, ice, snow, mold or infestation
after March 2, 2006, may be restored in accordance with the provisions
of § 62.23(7)(hc), Wis. Stats.
A.
The lawful nonconforming structure existing at the
time of the adoption or amendment of this chapter may be continued
although its size or location does not conform with the lot width,
lot area, yard, height, parking and loading, and access provisions
of this chapter. However, it shall not be extended, enlarged, reconstructed,
moved or structurally altered except when required to do so by law
or order or so as to comply with the provisions of this chapter.
B.
Lots of record that are existing at the time of adoption
of this chapter or any amendments thereof which do not meet the dimensional
requirements of this chapter are designated nonconforming lots of
record. Nonconforming lots of record that lack required lot area shall
be allowed to be built upon in accordance with this chapter if all
yard and setback requirements are provided. Two or more nonconforming
abutting lots of record in single ownership at the time of passage
or amendment of this chapter shall be considered to be a single undivided
parcel for purposes of this chapter.
C.
No parcel of land shall be divided or sold which does
not meet the lot width and area requirements of this chapter nor shall
any division of land be made which leaves remaining any lot with a
width or area below the requirements of this chapter.
Once a nonconforming use or structure has been
changed to conform, it shall not revert back to a nonconforming use
or structure. Once the Zoning Board of Appeals has permitted the substitution
of a more restricted nonconforming use for an existing nonconforming
use, the substituted use shall lose its status as a legal nonconforming
use and become subject to all the conditions required by the Zoning
Board of Appeals.
