to conform after written warning or construction has been issued to
him.
(b)
Whenever the continuance of any construction becomes dangerous
to life or property.
(c)

Whenever there is a violation of any of the conditions of an
approval or occupancy given by the Building Inspector for the use
of all new materials, equipment, methods or construction devices or
appliances.
(2)
The notice revoking a building, plumbing or electrical certificate
of occupancy or approval shall be in writing and may be served upon
the applicant of the permit, owner of the premises and his agent,
if any, and on the person having charge of construction.

and other evidence necessary to prove the merits of such material,
method of construction or device shall be determined by the State
Department of Safety and Professional Services.
Whenever the Building Inspector or Village Board find any building
or part thereof within the Village to be, in their judgment, so old,
dilapidated or out of repair as to be dangerous, unsafe, unsanitary
or otherwise unfit for human occupancy or use and so that it would
be unreasonable to repair the same, they shall order the owner to
raze and remove such building or part thereof or, if it can be made
safe by repairs, to repair and make safe and sanitary, or to raze
and remove at the owner's option, such order and proceedings
shall be as provided in § 66.0413, Wis. Stats.
The purpose of the inspections under this chapter is to improve
the quality of housing in the Village of Clyman. The inspections and
the reports and findings issued after the inspections are not intended
as, nor are they to be construed, as a guarantee. In order to so advise
owners and other interested persons, the following disclaimer shall
be applicable to all inspections under this chapter: "These findings
of inspection contained herein are intended to report conditions of
noncompliance with code standards that are readily apparent at the
time of inspection. The inspection does not involve a detailed examination
of the mechanical systems or the closed structural and nonstructural
elements of the building and premises. No warranty of the operation,
use or durability of equipment and materials not specifically cited

in writing and upon forms provided by the Building Inspector for that
purpose, shall within 72 hours inspect each excavation, or part thereof,
before filling any excavation.
(3)
It shall be unlawful to fill any such excavation without inspection
and approval of the Building Inspector. Voids in filled excavations
shall not be permitted. In the event of the unavailability of the
Building Inspector to conduct an inspection within the 72 hours after
written notice, the permit holder, owner or his/her agent may retain
the services of a certified, qualified municipal inspection service
to obtain an opinion that approves filling of the excavation. Said
opinion shall be deemed a sufficient approval by the Village provided
that a written copy of the opinion is delivered to the Village Clerk-Treasurer
at least 48 hours before filling of the excavation commences.
E.
Removal and disposal. Removal, transportation and disposal of all
hazardous waste, hazardous and toxic substances, and asbestos shall
be conducted in compliance with all applicable state, federal and
local statutes, ordinances and regulations. The permit holder shall
give the Building Inspector 72 hours' written notice prior to any

and toxic substances, and asbestos.
F.
Miscellaneous provisions.
(1)
A snow fence or other approved barricade shall be provided as soon
as any portion of the building is removed and shall remain during
razing operations.
(2)
Razing permits shall lapse and be void unless the work authorized
thereby is commenced within six months from the date thereof or completed
within 30 days from the date of commencement of said work. Any unfinished
portion of work remaining beyond the required 30 days must have special
approval from the Building Inspector.
(3)
All debris must be hauled away at the end of each week for the work
that was done on that week. No combustible material shall be used
for backfill but shall be hauled away. There shall not be any burning
of materials on the site of the razed building.
(4)
If any razing or removal operation under this section results in,
or would likely result in, an excessive amount of dust particles in
the air creating a nuisance in the vicinity thereof, the permittee
shall take all necessary steps, by use of water spraying or other
appropriate means, to eliminate such nuisance.
(5)
The permittee shall take all necessary steps, prior to the razing
of a building, through the employment of a qualified person in the
field of pest control or by other appropriate means, to treat the
building as to prevent the spread and migration of rodents and insects
therefrom during and after the razing operations.
A.
Basement subflooring. First floor subflooring shall be completed
within 60 days after the basement is excavated.
B.
Fencing of excavations. The owner of any premises on which there
exists an opening or excavation which is located in close proximity
to a public sidewalk or street right-of-way as to constitute a hazard
to pedestrian or vehicular traffic shall erect a fence, wall or railing
at least four feet high between such opening or excavation and the
public right-of-way.
C.
Closing of abandoned excavations. Any excavation for building purposes
or any uncovered foundation which shall remain open for more than
three months shall be deemed abandoned and a nuisance, and the Building
Inspector shall order that, unless the erection of the building or
structure on the excavation or foundation shall commence or continue
forthwith, suitable safeguards shall be provided to prevent accidental
injury to children or other frequenters or that the excavation or
foundation be filled to grade. Such order shall be served upon the
owner of record or the owner's agent, where an agent is in charge
of the premises, and upon the holder of an encumbrance of record in
the manner provided for service of a summons in the circuit court.
If the owner or the holder of an encumbrance of record cannot be found,
the order may be served by posting it on the premises and making publication
in the official newspaper for two consecutive publications at least
10 days before the time for compliance stated in the order commences
to run. Such time shall be not less than 14 days nor more than 20
days after service. If the owner of the land fails to comply with
the order within the time required, the Building Inspector shall cause
the excavation or foundation to be filled to grade. The cost of such
abatement shall be charged against the real estate and entered on
the next succeeding tax roll as a special charge and shall bear interest
at a rate established by the Village Board from the date of the report
by the Building Inspector on the cost thereof, pursuant to the provisions
of § 66.0703, Wis. Stats.

B.
Nuisance. The discharge into a sanitary sewer from any roof drain,
surface drain, subsoil drain, drain from any mechanical device, gutter,
ditch, pipe, conduit, sump pump or any other object or thing used
for the purposes of collecting, conducting, transporting, diverting,

is hereby declared to be a public nuisance and a hazard to the health,
safety and well-being of the residents of the Village and to the protection
of the property.

house shall have a sump pump installed for the purpose of discharging
clear waters from foundation drains and ground infiltration and, where
the building is not serviced by a storm sewer, shall either discharge
into an underground conduit leading to a drainage ditch, gutter, dry
well or shall discharge onto the ground surface in such other manner
as will not constitute a nuisance as defined herein.
D.
Stormwater. All roof drains, surface drains, drains from any mechanical
device, gutters, pipe, conduits or any other objects or things used
for the purpose of collecting, conducting, transporting, diverting,
draining or discharging stormwaters shall be discharged either to

ditch or onto the ground surface in such other manner as will not
constitute a nuisance as defined herein.
E.

All sump pumps installed for the purpose of discharging clear water
from foundation drains, basement drains and ground infiltration shall
within 60 days of installation discharge into a storm sewer wherever
available. Storm sewers shall be considered "available":

and imposed by the State Plumbing Code, Chs. SPS 381 through 387,
Wis. Adm. Code, and Ch. 145, Wis. Stats., and shall not amend or alter
the provisions therein except insofar as is necessary for the application
and enforcement of this subsection.
F.
Conducting tests. If the Building Inspector or his designated agent
suspects an illegal clear water discharge as defined by this chapter
or by any other applicable provision of the Wisconsin Administrative
Code as it may, from time to time, be amended, he may, upon reasonable
notice and at reasonable times, enter the private premises where such
illegal clear water discharge is suspected and conduct appropriate
tests to determine whether such suspected illegal clear water discharge
actually exists.
A.
A duplex structure shall be allowed a common water service to the
curb stop, but each unit of said duplex shall have a separate outside
curb stop for the purpose of shutting water off in one unit without
disturbing the second unit.

General requirements.
(1)
No person shall move any building or structure upon any of the public
ways of the Village without first obtaining a permit therefor from
the Building Inspector and upon the payment of the required fee. Every
such permit issued by the Building Inspector for the moving of a building
shall designate the route to be taken, the conditions to be complied
with and shall limit the time during which said moving operations
shall be continued.
(2)
A report shall be made by Village employees with regard to possible
damage to trees. The estimated cost of trimming, removal and replacement
of public trees, as determined by the Village, shall be paid to the
Village Clerk-Treasurer prior to issuance of the moving permit.
(3)
Issuance of moving permit shall further be conditioned on approval
of the moving route by the Village Board.
B.
Moving damaged buildings. No building shall be repaired, altered
or moved within or into the Village that has deteriorated or has been
damaged by any cause (including such moving and separation from its
foundation and service connections in case of moved buildings) 50%
or more of its equalized value, and no permit shall be granted to
repair, alter or move such building within or into the Village. Furthermore,
if the equalized assessed value of the building is not within 20%
of the surrounding buildings where the building is proposed to be
moved to, no permit shall be granted unless the building is improved
to be within the 20%. Such determination shall be made by the Building
Inspector, who may seek a recommendation from the Village Assessor.
C.
Continuous movement. The movement of buildings shall be a continuous
operation during all the hours of the day and at night, until such
movement is fully completed. All such operations shall be performed
with the least possible obstruction to thoroughfares. No building
shall be allowed to remain overnight upon any street crossing or intersection
or so near thereto as to prevent easy access to any fire hydrant or
any other public facility. Lights shall be kept in conspicuous places
at each end of the building during the night.
D.
Street repair. Every person receiving a permit to move a building
shall, within one day after said building reaches its destination,
report that fact to the Building Inspector, inspect the streets, highways
and curbs and gutters over which said building has been moved and
ascertain their condition. If the removal of said building has caused
any damage to any street or highway, the person to whom the permit
was issued shall forthwith place them in as good repair as they were
before the permit was granted. On the failure of the said permittee
to do so within 10 days thereafter to the satisfaction of the Village
Board, the Village shall repair the damage done to such streets and
hold the person obtaining such permit and the sureties on his bond
responsible for the payment of same.
E.
Conformance with code. No permit shall be issued to move a building
within or into the Village and to establish it upon a location within
the said Village until the Building Inspector has made an investigation
of such building at the location from which it is to be moved and
is satisfied from such investigation that said building is in a sound
and stable condition and of such construction that it will meet the
requirements of this Building Code in all respects. A complete plan
of all further repairs, improvements and remodeling with reference
to such building shall be submitted to the Building Inspector, and
he shall make a finding of fact to the effect that all such repairs,
improvements and remodeling are in conformity with the requirements
of this Building Code and that, when the same are completed, the building
as such will so comply with said Building Code. In the event a building
is to be moved from the Village to some point outside the boundaries
thereof, the provisions with respect to the furnishing of plans and
specifications for proposed alterations to such building may be disregarded.
F.
Bond.
(1)
Before a permit is issued to move any building over any public way
in the Village, the party applying therefor shall give a bond to the
Village of Clyman in a sum to be fixed by the Building Inspector and
which shall not be less than $5,000, said bond to be executed by a
corporate surety or two personal sureties to be approved by the Village
Board or designated agent conditioned upon, among other things, the
indemnification to the Village for any costs or expenses incurred
by it in connection with any claims for damages to any persons or
property, and the payment of any judgment together with the costs
and expenses incurred by the Village in connection therewith arising
out of the removal of the building for which the permit is issued.
(2)
Unless the Building Inspector, upon investigation, shall find it
to be a fact that the excavation exposed by the removal of such building
from its foundation shall not be so close to a public thoroughfare
as to permit the accidental falling therein of travelers or the location,
nature and physical characteristics of the premises and the exposed
excavation, such as to make intrusion upon the premises and the falling
into such excavation of children under 12 years of age unlikely, the
bond required by Subsection E(1) shall be further conditioned upon
the permittee erecting adequate barriers and within 48 hours, filling
in such excavation or adopting and employing such other means, devices
or methods approved by the Building Inspector and reasonably adopted
or calculated to prevent the occurrences set forth herein.
G.
Insurance. The Building Inspector shall require, in addition to said
the said bond above indicated, public liability insurance covering
injury to one person in the sum of not less than $500,000 and for
one accident, aggregate not less than $1,000,000, together with property
damage insurance in a sum not less than $500,000, or such other coverage
as deemed necessary.
H.
Village Board approval.
(1)
No such permit shall be issued unless it has been found as a fact by the Village Board by at least a majority vote, after an examination of the application for the permit which shall include exterior elevations of the building and accurate photographs of all sides and views of the same and in case it is proposed to alter the exterior of said building, plans and specifications of such proposed alterations and after a view of the building proposed to be moved and of the site at which it is to be located, that the exterior architectural appeal and functional plans of the building to be moved or moved and altered will not be so at variance with either the exterior architectural appeal and functional plan of the buildings already constructed or in the course of construction in the immediate neighborhood or in the character of the applicable district established by the zoning ordinances of the Village or any ordinance amendatory thereof or supplementary thereto, as to cause a substantial depreciation of the property values of said neighborhood within said applicable district. In case the applicant proposed to alter the exterior of said building after moving the same, he/she shall submit, with his/her application papers, complete plans and specifications for the proposed alterations. Before a permit shall be issued for a building to be moved and altered, the applicant shall give a cash bond to the Village Board, which shall not be less than $5,000 to be executed in the manner provided in Subsection F hereof to the effect that he will, within a time to be set by the Village Board, complete the proposed exterior alterations to said building in the manner set forth in his/her plans and specifications. This bond shall be in addition to any other bond or surety which may be required by other applicable ordinances of the Village. No occupancy permit shall be issued for said building until the exterior alterations proposed to be made have been completed.
(2)
Upon application being made to the Building Inspector, he/she shall request a meeting of the Village Board to consider application for moving permits which he/she has found comply, in all respects, with all other ordinances of the Village. The Village Board may, if it desires, hear the applicant for the moving permit in question and/or the owner of the lot on which it is proposed to locate the building in question, together with any other persons, either residents or property owners, desiring to be heard, give such notice of hearing as they may deem sufficient. Such hearing may be adjourned for a reasonable length of time and, within 48 hours after the close of the hearing, the Village Board shall, in writing, make or refuse to make the finding required by Subsection H hereof and file it in the office of Village Clerk-Treasurer who shall send a copy of it to the Building Inspector.
A.
Front yards. Front yards shall be established for new construction
from the established grade at the location of the inside of the sidewalk.
The pitch of the lawn can only be 1/2 inch per foot from the foundation
to the inside of the sidewalk.
B.
Side yard and back yard grading. No change in the existing topography of any parcel, which has been created through Chapter 377, Subdivision of Land, of the Code of the Village of Clyman, may be made which would result in the damming, filling, relocating or otherwise interfering with the natural flow of surface water as outlined in an approved drainage plan, as exists along any approved surface drainage channel, or exists through a natural watercourse.
C.
Drainage plan to be followed. A property owner who fails to follow
the approved drainage plan for a subdivision is considered to be in
violation of this chapter and subject to remediation at their expense.
D.
Changes in yard drainage. A change in any portion of the grade of
a side yard or back yard that would or does interfere with the existing
approved drainage capacity of the adjoining property shall not be
permitted except with the written consent of the abutting property
owner and the approval of the Plan Commission. No other alteration
of existing drainage or topography shall be permitted which would
adversely affect the adjoining property.
E.
Time for compliance. The yard grade requirements of this section
shall be met within 30 days of completion of construction, unless,
because of weather conditions, arrangements for a completion date
are made with the Building Inspector.
Village streets are to be kept clean of dirt and debris from all construction sites. The primary contractor for any construction project shall be responsible for sweeping streets of debris within 24 hours of the incident. The Village of Clyman will clean said street(s) if the work is not done within 24 hours of the incident and charge the current established costs to the contractor for the work. Failure to pay said costs within 30 days of receipt of the billing shall be deemed a violation of this section and be subject to the penalty provisions of § 1-3 of this Code.
No building hereafter constructed or altered into a dwelling
shall be occupied in whole or in part for human habitation until the
issuance of a certificate by the Building Inspector affirming that
such dwelling conforms in all respects to the requirements of this
chapter. Such certificate shall be applied for coincidentally with
the application for a building permit and shall be issued not more
than 10 days after the lawful erection or alteration is complete and
final inspection has been made. This section may be modified at the
direction of the Building Inspector.
The following fees shall be paid with application for the appropriate
permit designated:
If any section, clause, provision or portion of this chapter,
or of the Wisconsin Administrative Code adopted by reference, is adjudged
unconstitutional or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction,
the remaining provisions shall not be affected.
A.
Any building or structure hereafter erected, enlarged, altered or
repaired or any use hereafter established in violation of the provisions
of this chapter shall be deemed an unlawful building, structure or
use. The Building Inspector shall promptly report all such violations
to the Village Board and Village Attorney, who shall bring an action
to enjoin the erection, enlargement, alteration, repair or moving
of such building or structure or the establishment of such use of
buildings in violation of this chapter or to cause such building,
structure or use to be removed. Violations may also be subject to
a penalty as provided in general penalty provisions of this Code.[1] In any such action, the fact that a permit was issued
shall not constitute a defense, nor shall any error, oversight or
dereliction of duty on the part of the Building Inspector or other
Village officials constitute a defense. Compliance with the provisions
of this chapter may also be enforced by injunctional order at the
suit of the owner or owners of any real estate within the jurisdiction
of this chapter.
B.
Procedure for violations.
(1)
If an inspection reveals a noncompliance with this chapter or the
Uniform Dwelling Code, the Building Inspector shall notify the applicant
and the owner, in writing, of the violation to be corrected. All cited
violations shall be corrected within 30 days after written notification
unless an extension of time is granted pursuant to § SPS
320.21(3), Wis. Adm. Code.
(2)
If, after written notification, the violation is not corrected within
30 days, a stop-work order may be served on the owner or his or her
representative and a copy thereof shall be posted at the construction
site. Such stop-work order shall not be removed except by written
notice of the Building Inspector after satisfactory evidence has been
supplied that the cited violation has been corrected.
(3)
Each day each violation continues after the thirty-day written notice
period has run shall constitute a separate offense. Nothing in this
chapter shall preclude the Village from maintaining any appropriate
action to prevent or remove a violation of any provision of this chapter
or the Uniform Dwelling Code.
(4)
If any construction or work governed by the provisions of this chapter
or the Uniform Dwelling Code is commenced prior to the issuance of
a permit, double fees shall be charged.
C.
Any person feeling aggrieved by an order or a determination of the
Building Inspector may appeal from such order or determination to
the Board of Appeals. Those procedures customarily used to effectuate
an appeal to the Board of Appeals shall apply.
D.
Except as may otherwise be provided by the statute or ordinance,
no officer, agent or employee of the Village of Clyman charged with
the enforcement of this chapter shall render himself personally liable
for any damage that may accrue to persons or property as a result
of any act required or permitted in the discharge of his duties under
this chapter. Any suit brought against any officer, agent or employee
of the Village as a result of any act required or permitted in the
discharge of his duties under this chapter shall be defended by the
legal representative of the Village until the final determination
of the proceedings therein.
