The purpose of this chapter is to regulate the subdivision of
land to promote public health, safety and general welfare; to further
the orderly layout and use of land, to facilitate adequate provision
for water, sewerage and other public requirements; to provide for
property ingress and egress; and to promote proper monumenting of
land subdivided and conveyancing by accurate legal description. The
approvals to be obtained by the subdivider as required in this chapter
are based on requirements designed to accomplish the aforesaid purposes.
It is not the intent of this chapter to repeal, modify, abrogate,
annul, impair or interfere with existing easements, covenants, deed
restrictions, other ordinances or permits previously adopted or issued
pursuant to law. However, where this chapter imposes greater restrictions,
the provisions of this chapter shall govern.
In the interpretation and application of this chapter, provisions
shall be held to be the minimum requirements and shall be liberally
construed in favor of the County and shall not be deemed a limitation
or repeal of any other power granted by the Wisconsin Statutes.
This chapter shall be effective after adoption by the County
Board and publication or posting as provided by law (July 1, 2010).
The County planning agency is the Oneida County Planning and
Zoning Committee.
The provisions of this chapter apply to all lands within Oneida
County, except within the corporate limits of any incorporated area.
Where a duly adopted town subdivision ordinance is more restrictive
than this chapter, the town is ultimately responsible to enforce its
own more restrictive ordinance requirements.
No person shall divide any land located within the jurisdiction limits of these regulations contrary to the provision of this chapter, Chapters
9,
13, and
20 of the General Code of Oneida County, Wisconsin Statutes, or Wisconsin Administrative Code. No such subdivisions shall be entitled to record and no road shall be laid out or improvements made to land without compliance with all requirements of this chapter.
