To provide for orderly, safe and economical expansion of the
built-up area of the community by designating the location and extent
of existing and proposed streets, highways and parks on an Official
Map. Also, to ensure proper legal descriptions and monumenting of
land; to facilitate adequate provision for transportation, parks,
playgrounds and stormwater drainage; and to facilitate further subdivision
of larger tracts into smaller parcels of land.
The Official Map is intended to be final and conclusive with
respect to the location and extent of streets, highways and parks
shown on the map. The Village Board may change or add to the map if
it is determined to be in the public interest. Changes and additions
shall be made in accordance with procedures in § 62.23,
Wis. Stats. The placing of proposed streets, highways or parks upon
the Official Map shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute the
opening or establishment of such streets, highways or parks, or the
taking or acceptance of any land for such purposes.
The Village Plan Commission shall require that all subdivision
plats conform to the Official Map. All streets within recorded subdivisions
approved by the Plan Commission and Village Board shall become a part
of the Official Map. No building permit shall be issued for any structure
in the bed of any street or highway shown on the Official Map, and
no permit for the erection of any structure shall be issued unless
a street or highway giving access to the structure has been duly placed
on such map, except as provided in § 62.23, Wis. Stats.
The Building Inspector shall require each applicant to submit a plot
plan (unless the site is a lot in a recorded subdivision or certified
survey plat), certified by a registered surveyor, showing accurately
the location of any proposed building with reference to adjacent streets,
highways or parks shown on the Official Map.
The Board of Zoning Appeals shall have the power to grant relief
from the requirements of this chapter in accordance with the provisions
of § 62.23, Wis. Stats.
