District of Milwaukee, which Village is almost exclusively residential
and in which a large percentage of all of the property has been developed
for private residence purposes by the owners thereof;
Whereas, territory available for business uses accessible from this
Village and territory hereinafter made available for business uses
in this Village is deemed and hereby found to be sufficient for the
needs of this Village, and territory available for manufacturing uses
accessible from this Village is deemed and hereby found to be sufficient
for the needs of this Village;
Whereas, it is the desire of the citizens of said Village and the
Village Board thereof to preserve the general character of said Village,

been designed and constructed to take care of such restricted use
and would prove inadequate for more congested use; and
Now, therefore, it is hereby determined that public health, safety,
welfare and morals will be protected, promoted and conserved by the

applying the provisions of this chapter, the provisions thereof shall,
in every instance, be held to be the minimum requirements adopted
