It is the intent of the Town Board to establish an Official
Map for the purpose of serving and promoting the public health, safety,
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 ensure proper legal descriptions and proper
boundary lines; to facilitate adequate provision for transportation,
parks, playgrounds, and stormwater drainage; and to facilitate the
further subdivision of large tracts into smaller parcels of land.
This chapter is enacted under 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 Town of Pittsfield, as heretofore laid
out, adopted and established by law. There is hereby established,
as the Official Map of the Town of Pittsfield, the map bearing the
date March 15, 2015. This map is hereby designated as the "Official
Map of the Town of Pittsfield," 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.
No public sewer or other municipal street utility or improvement
shall be constructed in any street, highway, or parkway within the
corporate limits of the Town of Pittsfield until such street, highway,
or parkway is duly placed on the Official Map.
The Board of Appeals shall have the power to review any administrative
decision of the Town Zoning Administrator, 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),
