It is the intent of the Village Board to establish an Official
Map for the purpose of serving and promoting the public health, safety,
convenience, economy, orderliness and general welfare of the community;
to further the orderly layout and use of land; to stabilize the location
of real property boundary lines; to facilitate adequate provisions
for transportation, parks, playgrounds, and stormwater drainage; and
to facilitate the further subdivision of larger tracts into smaller
parcels of land.
This chapter is enacted under the authority granted by § 62.23(6),
Wis. Stats.
The Official Map shall show the location and extent of all platted
and existing streets, highways, parkways, parks and playgrounds within
the corporate limits of the Village of Belleville as hereinbefore
laid out, adopted and established by law. There is hereby established,
as the Official Map of the Village of Belleville, the map prepared
by the Dane County Regional Planning Commission which accompanies
and is made a part of this chapter. This map is hereby designated
as the "Official Map of the Village of Belleville," and all notations,
references and other information shown thereon shall be as much a
part of this chapter as though the matters and information thereon
were fully described herein. Pursuant to § 62.23(6)(d),
Wis. Stats., the streets, highways, or parkway systems shown on the
Official Map may be shown as extending beyond the boundaries of the
Village in extraterritorial areas.
No public sewer or other municipal street utility or improvement
shall be constructed in any street, highway or parkway until such
street, highway, or parkway is duly placed on the Official Map.
The Zoning Board of Appeals shall have the power to review any
administrative decision of the Village Building Inspector to deny
a permit for the erection of a structure under this chapter and to
grant relief from the requirements of this chapter under the provisions
of § 62.23(6)(d), (e), (f), (g) and (h), Wis. Stats.
There shall be a certified copy of the Official Map described in §
380-3. The certified copy shall be kept in the office of the Village Clerk/Treasurer and shall be available for the inspection by any interested person during regular office hours. The certified copy shall bear on its face a certification that it is a true copy of the Official Map described in and accompanying this chapter and shall show the date of adoption of this chapter and shall be signed by the Village President and countersigned by the Village Clerk/Treasurer. Thereafter no change or addition to such Official Map shall become effective until it shall have been indicated by the appropriate convention on the aforesaid certified copy of the Official Map and a certificate placed thereon or attached thereto, bearing the number and date of adoption of the amending ordinance. The certificate shall be signed by the Village President and countersigned by the Village Clerk/Treasurer. For purposes of this section, plats, certified survey maps and property transactions complying with applicable laws or ordinances do not require certification when being placed on the Official Map.
The Village Clerk/Treasurer shall be responsible, immediately
upon adoption of the Official Map or any amendment thereto, for recording
a true copy thereof with the Register of Deeds for Dane County and
Green County, Wisconsin.
The placing of any street, highway, parkway, park or playground
line or lines upon the Official Map does not constitute the opening
or establishment of any street, highway, parkway, park or playground
or the taking or acceptance of any land for these purposes.
It shall be the duty of the Village Building Inspector to enforce
the provisions of this chapter.
