It is the intent of the Village 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 Village;
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, stormwater drainage, and waterways;
and to facilitate the further subdivision of larger tracts into smaller
parcels of land.
This article is enacted under the authority of Chapters 61,
62, and 236 of the Wisconsin Statutes and as amended.
The Official Map shall show the location and extent of all platted
and existing streets, highways, parkways, parks and playgrounds, waterways,
and railroad rights-of-way within the corporate limits of the Village
of Fox Crossing as heretofore laid out, adopted, and established by
law and shall be deemed conclusive in respect to location and width.
There is hereby established as the Official Map of the Village of
Fox Crossing the map which accompanies and is made a part of this
article bearing the date of adoption. This map is hereby designated
as the "Official Map of the Village of Fox Crossing," and all notations,
references and other information shown thereon shall be as much a
part of this article as though the matters and information thereon
were fully described herein.
For the purpose of preserving the integrity of the Official
Map, a building permit shall be required for any structure or part
thereof that shall hereafter be located, erected, moved, reconstructed,
extended, enlarged, converted or structurally altered. No permit shall
hereafter be issued for any building in the bed of any existing or
proposed street or highway shown on the Official Map. No permit for
the erection of any building shall be issued unless a street or highway
giving access to such proposed structure has been duly placed on this
map.
No public sewer, water, or other municipal street utility or
improvement shall be constructed in any street or highway within the
corporate limits of the Village of Fox Crossing until such street
or highway has been placed on the Official Map.
The Village Board shall have the power to review any administrative
decision of the Building Official to deny a permit for the erection
of a structure under this article and to grant relief from the requirements
of this article under the provisions of § 62.23(6)(e), (f)
and (g), Wis. Stats.
There shall be a certified copy of the Official Map described in §
394-33. The certified copy shall be kept in the office of the Village Clerk and shall be available for inspection by any interested person during regular office hours. The certified copy shall bear on its face a certification that it is a true copy of the Official Map described in and accompanying this article and shall show the date of adoption of this article and shall be signed by the Village President and countersigned by the Village Clerk. Thereafter no change or addition to such Official Map shall become effective until it shall have been indicated by the appropriate convention on the aforesaid certified copy of the Official Map and a certificate placed thereon or attached thereto bearing the number and date of adoption of the amending ordinance.
The Village Clerk shall be responsible immediately upon adoption
of the Official Map or any amendments thereto for recording a true
copy of the ordinance or amendment with the Register of Deeds of the
County of Winnebago, Wisconsin.
It shall be the duty of the Department of Community Development
and the Police Department to enforce the provisions of this article.
Any person, firm, or corporation who or which fails to comply with the provisions of this article shall, upon conviction thereof, pay forfeiture as set forth in Chapter
A450, Fines and Penalties, reference this Code section, plus the cost of prosecution for each violation and in default of payment of such forfeiture and costs shall be imprisoned in the county jail until payment thereof, but not exceeding 30 days. Each violation and each day a violation exists or continues shall constitute a separate offense.
