[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of
East Troy 2-15-2016 by Ord. No.

Editor's Note: This ordinance was originally adopted
as Ch. 520, but was renumbered for organizational purposes.
It is the intent of the Village Board to establish an official
map as allowed by state law (1) for the purpose of serving and promoting
the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community; (2)
to further the orderly layout and use of land; (3) to facilitate the
provision of transportation facilities, recreation facilities, stormwater
facilities, and other public facilities; and (4) to facilitate the
division of tracts of land into smaller parcels.
