This chapter is entitled the "Campground Licensing and Regulation
Ordinance."
This chapter is adopted in accord with §§ 60.10(2)(c),
60.22(3) and 61.34(1) and (5), Wis. Stats., pursuant to which the
Town Board is authorized to adopt police power ordinances for and
on behalf of the health, safety, welfare and convenience of the public
by necessary and convenient means.
The provisions of this chapter shall apply to the owner and
to the operator, if other than the owner, of any campground. "Campground,"
for the purposes of this chapter, means any parcel or tract of land
owned by a person, entity, the state or a local government, which
is designed, maintained, intended or used for the purpose of providing
sites for nonpermanent overnight use, which by virtue of its usage
for that purpose is deemed to be a campground under state law and/or
under county ordinance.
No campground license shall be issued until the Town Engineer
and/or Town Building Inspector have reviewed each application and
inspected the premises on which the campground is located or is proposed
to be located. No license will be renewed without a reinspection of
the premises. Further, at all reasonable times during the term of
the license, the campground and its facilities shall be open to inspection
by the Town Engineer and/or the Town Building Inspector to ensure
compliance with this chapter, the approved campground plan and all
applicable governmental regulations.
Once the campground plan is approved and the license issued, compliance with that plan, as approved, shall be deemed to be a condition applicable to that license, and the campground operator shall operate the campground in compliance with that campground plan. If in any compliance inspection it is determined that the campground is not in compliance with the approved campground plan or any other applicable governmental rules or regulations of the Town, the Town may suspend or revoke such license, as provided under Chapter
278, Licenses and Permits, and shall have such other remedies as may be provided by law.
Anyone violating this chapter, in addition to other remedies
provided by law, shall be subject to abatement by a restraining order
or injunction issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.
The Town Board is hereby authorized to revoke any license issued pursuant to this chapter in accordance with Chapter
278, Licenses and Permits.
