[Adopted as Sec. 8.01 of the former Municipal Codebook]
An Official Map of the City of Reedsburg is hereby established
to conserve and promote the public health, safety, convenience and
general welfare, a copy of which is on file in the City Clerk-Treasurer's
office at the Reedsburg City Hall.
Said Official Map shall show the streets, highways, parkways,
parks, and playgrounds heretofore laid out, adopted and established
by law.
The City Clerk-Treasurer shall file with the Register of Deeds
for Sauk County, Wisconsin, a certificate showing that the City has
established an Official Map.
The placing of any street, highway, parkway, park or playground
line or lines upon the Official Map shall not in and of itself constitute
or be deemed to constitute the opening or establishing of any street,
parkway, or playground, or the taking or acceptance of any land for
such purpose.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. II)]
For the purpose of preserving the integrity of such Official
Map, no permit shall hereafter be issued for any building in the bed
of any street, highway or parkway shown or laid out on such map and
no permit for the erection of any building shall be issued unless
a street, highway or parkway giving access to such proposed structure
has been duly placed on such map, except as provided in § 62.23(6)(d)
and (g), Wis. Stats. The proper official authorized to issue building
permits may require each applicant to submit a plot plan certified
by a registered survey and showing accurately the location of any
proposed building with reference to any street, highway or parkway
shown on the Official Map. The streets, highways or parkways shown
on the Official Map may be shown as extending beyond the boundaries
of the City a distance of 1 1/2 miles as provided by Ch. 236,
Wis. Stats. Any person desiring to construct a building in the bed
of a street, highway or parkway so shown as extended may apply to
the Building Inspector for a building permit. Unless such application
is made and the permit granted, or not denied, within 30 days, such
person shall not be entitled to compensation for damage to such building
in the course of construction of the street, highway or parkway. If
the land within such mapped street, highway or parkway is not yielding
a fair return, the Zoning Board of Appeals may in a specific case,
by the vote of a majority of its members, grant a permit for a building
in such street, highway or parkway which will, as little as practicable,
increase the cost of opening such street, highway or parkway or tend
to cause a change of such Official Map; and such board may impose
reasonable requirements as a condition of granting such permit, which
requirements shall be designed to promote the health, convenience,
safety or general welfare of the community. Such board shall refuse
a permit where the applicant will not be substantially damaged by
placing his building outside the mapped street, highway or parkway.
The Plan Commission shall require uniformity with the Official
Map in recommending approval of any subdivision plat.
