Whenever a proposed park, playground, public access, open space
site or other public land other than streets designated in an adopted
Village Comprehensive Plan is embraced, all or in part, in a tract
of land to be subdivided, such proposed public lands shall be made
a part of the plat and shall either be dedicated to the public or
be reserved for acquisition at undeveloped land costs for a period
not to exceed three years from the date of recording, unless extended
by mutual agreement between the subdivider and the public agency having
jurisdiction. If the reserved land is not acquired by such public
agency within the above time limit, the land shall be released to
the owner.
All public access to the low-water mark of navigable lakes and
streams required by § 236.16(3), Wis. Stats., shall be at
least 100 feet wide to provide sufficient areas for turning movements
and parking.
[Amended 10-25-2021 by Ord. No. 2021-01]
In order to ensure that adequate park, playground and recreational
open space is provided in the Village to serve the additional need
created by the division or subdivision of land, the following provisions
are established:
A. Land dedication. The subdivider shall dedicate not less than 5% of
the parcel to be divided or subdivided to provide for park, playground
and recreational open space. Unless the Village agrees otherwise,
the subdivider may only dedicate land that is consistent with the
Village's Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan and Comprehensive
Plan.
B. Fee in lieu. In lieu of the land dedication required above, the Village and the subdivider may agree that the land division will be subject to the park impact fees as prescribed in Chapter
16, Impact Fees. Any new lot created with a dwelling that existed prior to the effective date of this chapter shall be exempt.
