[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Algoma 12-22-2005 by Ord. No. 122. Amendments noted where applicable.]
It is the intent of the Town Board to establish an Official
Map for the purpose of serving and promoting the public health, safety,
convenience, 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 monumenting of land; to facilitate adequate provision for
transportation, parks, playgrounds, and stormwater drainage; and to
facilitate the further subdivision of larger tracts into smaller parcels
of land.
This chapter is enacted under the authority granted by §§ 62.23(6)(b)
and 61.35, Wis. Stats.
The jurisdictional area of this chapter shall include all lands
within the limits of the Town of Algoma.
There is hereby established, as the Official Map of the Town
of Algoma, the map which accompanies and is made a part of this chapter[1] bearing the date of December 21, 2005. The map was prepared
by Town Planner Martenson & Eisele. This map is hereby designated
as the "Official Map of the Town of Algoma," 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. The Official Map shall show the location and extent of all
platted and existing streets, highways, drainageways, parkways, parks
and playgrounds, airports and airport-affected areas, and historic
districts within the limits of the protected area of the Town of Algoma
as designated in the City of Oshkosh/Town of Algoma boundary agreement
heretofore adopted and established by law.
