(1)
The purpose of this chapter is to adopt minimum requirements to promote
the health, safety, morals, prosperity, aesthetics and general welfare
of the Village; to regulate and restrict the height, number of stories
and size of buildings and other structures, the percentage of lot
that may be occupied, the size of yards, courts and other open spaces,
the density of population and the location and the use of buildings,
structures and land for trade, industry, residence or other purposes;
and for said purposes to divide the Village into districts of such
manner, shape and area as are deemed best suited to carry out said
purpose.
(2)
It is not the intent of this chapter to repeal, abrogate, annul,
impair or interfere with any existing easements, covenants, deed restrictions,
agreements, ordinances, rules or permits previously adopted or issued
pursuant to law. However, wherever this chapter imposes greater restrictions,
the provisions of this chapter shall apply.
(3)
The provisions of this chapter shall be interpreted and applied as
minimum requirements, shall be construed in favor of the Village and
shall not be deemed a limitation or repeal of any other power granted
by the Wisconsin statutes.
(1)
Condominiums shall be subject to all provisions of this chapter.
The exterior boundaries of any parcel of land included in any condominium
form of ownership shall be deemed the lot lines for purposes of the

where the condominium parcel abuts any public property, or any private
property owned by others, including other condominium parcels. The
interior lines of demarcation or other descriptions of any condominium
units, common elements and limited common elements shall not be deemed
lot lines. The total use of the entire parcel of land included in
a condominium form of ownership, including subsequent expansions thereof,
shall comply with the regulations for permitted and conditional uses
provided in the respective zoning district or districts where such
condominium is located. In applying the provisions of this chapter,
the entire parcel of land included in the condominium form of ownership
shall be treated as owned by one entity in its entirety. No requirements,
restrictions or conditions shall apply to or be imposed on a physically
identical development under a different form of ownership or on all
other property of similar character not subjected to a condominium
form of ownership.
(2)
No lot in the R-1, R-2 or R-3 Districts shall have more than one
principal building thereon.

the property has been or may hereafter be divided into blocks and
lots, the district boundaries shall be construed to be lot lines,
and where the designations on the official Zoning Map are approximately

[Added by Ord. No. 194]
(1)
Purpose and authority. The residents of the Village depend exclusively
on groundwater for a safe drinking water supply. Certain land use
practices and activities can threaten or degrade groundwater quality.
The purpose of this section is to institute land use regulations and
restrictions to protect the Village's Municipal water supply
and well fields as set forth in the Wellhead Protection Plan of February
2003, and to promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the
residents of the Village. The Wellhead Protection Plan of February
2003 is hereby adopted by reference and is on file in the office of
the Clerk-Treasurer.
(1 )
Statutory authority of the Village to enact these regulations
was established by the Wisconsin Legislature in §§ 61.35
and 62.23(7)(a) and (c). Under these statutes, the Village has the
authority to adopt this section, effective in the incorporated areas
of the Village, to encourage the protection of groundwater resources.
(2)
Applicability. This section shall apply within the Village boundary
limits.
(3)
Definitions. For the purpose of this section, the following words
and terms shall have the meaning set out below unless the context
specifically indicates otherwise.
(a)
EXISTING FACILITIES — Current facilities, practices and
activities which may cause or threaten to cause environmental pollution
with that portion of the Village's wellhead protection area that
lies within the corporate limits of the Village. Existing facilities
include, but are not limited to, the type listed in the Department
of Natural Resources' form 3300-215, Public Water Supply Potential
Contaminant Use Inventory Form which is on file in the office of the
Clerk-Treasurer.
(b)
GROUNDWATER PROTECTION OVERLAY DISTRICT — That area described
within the Village Wellhead Protection Plan and set forth in this
section. A copy of the Dresser Wellhead Protection Plan can be obtained
from the Clerk-Treasurer.
(c)
WELL FIELD — A piece of land used primarily for the purpose
of supplying a location for construction of wells to supply a municipal
water system.
(d)
RECHARGE AREA — The land area which contributes water
to a well by infiltration of water into the subsurface and movement
with groundwater toward the well.
(e)
FIVE YEAR TIME-OF-TRAVEL — The recharge area upgradient
of the cone of depression, the outer boundary of which is determined
or estimated that groundwater and potential contaminants will take
five years to reach a pumping well. The five year time-of-travel for
the Dresser wells fields is established based on information contained
in the Wellhead Protection Plan of February 2003.
(4)
Groundwater Protection Overlay District.
(a)
Zone WPA-A. The primary portion of the Village recharge area
to be protected are the lands defined as the Zones of Contribution
in the Wellhead Protection Plan of February 2003. It includes a one-thousand-two-hundred
foot radius of Well #2 or Well #3 which has been extended to convenient
geographic boundaries to define the wellhead protection area (see
Figures 4 and 5, Wellhead Protection Plan, February 2003). These lands
are subject to the most stringent land use and development restrictions
because of close proximity to the wells and corresponding high threat
of contamination.
(b)
Zone WPA-B. A secondary portion of the Village recharge area
to be protected is land which lies within the five year time-of-travel
of groundwater to the well. The five year time-of-travel for the Village
well field is shown in Figures 3 and 4 of the Wellhead Protection
Plan.
(c)
Permitted uses.
1.
The following permitted uses in Zone WPA-A are subject to the
separation distances set forth in par. (e) below, and the prohibited

Changes and substitutions. Once a nonconforming use or structure
has been changed to conform, it shall not revert back to a nonconforming
use or structure. Once the Board of Zoning Appeals has permitted the
substitution of a more restricted nonconforming use for an existing
nonconforming use, the substituted use shall lose all status as a
legal nonconforming use and become subject to all the conditions required
by the Board of Zoning Appeals.
(5)
Substandard lots. In any residential district, a one-family detached
dwelling and its accessory structures may be erected on any legal
lot or parcel, provided such lot or parcel was of record in the County
Register of Deeds office before the effective date or amendment of
this chapter. Such lot or parcel shall be in separate ownership from
abutting lands. If abutting lands and the substandard lot are owned
by the same owner, the substandard lot shall not be sold or used without

Purpose and intent.
(a)
The purpose of these regulations on outdoor advertising signs
is to establish minimum standards to protect the public health, safety

of hearing. The Board shall thereafter reach its decision within 90
days from the filing of the application.
(6)
Standards for variances. The Board shall not vary the regulations
of this chapter unless it shall make findings based upon the evidence
presented to it in each specific case that:
(a)
Because of the particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical
conditions of the specific property involved, a particular hardship
to the owner would result, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience
if the strict letter of the regulations were to be carried out.
(b)
The conditions upon which a petition for a variation is based
are unique to the property for which the variance is sought and are
not applicable, generally, to other property within the same zoning
classification.

desire to make more money out of the property.
(d)
The alleged difficulty or hardship is caused by this chapter

The granting of the variation will not be detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the
neighborhood in which the property is located.

The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of
light and air to adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion
of the public streets, or increase the danger of fire, or endanger
the public safety, or substantially diminish or impair property values
within the neighborhood.
(g)
The Board may impose such conditions and restrictions upon the
premises benefited by a variance as may be necessary to comply with
the standards established in this section.
