The Village's authority to approve land division within its
extraterritorial jurisdiction is granted by § 236.45(3)
and Ch. 703, Wis. Stats. The following policy shall govern the Village's
approval and regulation of divisions of land within its extraterritorial
jurisdiction area in order to promote the intent and those purposes
set forth in this chapter.
No such land divisions will be permitted without approval of
the Village in accordance with the procedures in this chapter as applicable
to land divisions within the Village.
When it is proposed to divide lands located in the unincorporated area within 1 1/2 miles of the corporate limits of the Village of Williams Bay, the subdivider shall proceed as specified in §§
375-0301 through
375-0306 of this chapter, with the following exceptions or additions:
A. Transmittal responsibility. The Town Clerk, or County Land Use and
Resource Management Department, to whomever the plat or certified
survey map is first submitted, shall be responsible for transmitting
copies of the plat or map to designated objecting agencies unless
the subdivider has specifically requested that the Village assume
the responsibility of transmitting all review copies. The subdivider
shall specify in his letter of application to whom the original application
was submitted.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. II)]
B. Approval authorities include the Village Board, the applicable town
board, and the county planning agency.
C. The subdivider may proceed with improvements pursuant to regulations
promulgated by approved agencies.
D. All improvement requirements specified by the town board or any special
improvement district in matters over which they have jurisdiction
shall be met before filing of the plat or certified survey map.
For areas designated on the Village of Williams Bay's Comprehensive
Plan Future Land Use Map as "Exurban Residential":
A. Land divisions will be permitted if not exceeding an overall density
of one dwelling unit per acre, except in areas subject to extraterritorial
zoning, or where subject to conflicting provisions in an intergovernmental
agreement to which the Village of Williams Bay is a party.
For areas designated on the Village of Williams Bay's Comprehensive
Plan Future Land Use Map for future Village growth or as "Agriculture/Rural":
A. Land divisions will be permitted if not exceeding an overall density
of one buildable lot per 35 acres, exclusive of a farmstead demonstrated
by the land divider to the satisfaction of the Village to have been
existing as of the effective date of this chapter. The provisions
of this subsection shall not apply in areas subject to extraterritorial
zoning, or where subject to conflicting provisions in an intergovernmental
agreement to which the Village of Williams Bay is a party.
B. The minimum lot size shall be one acre and the maximum lot size shall be 100,000 square feet. A smaller lot size may be allowed if also approved by the respective town board. In all instances, the density provisions of Subsection

The Village will attempt to seek consistency between its plans
and locally adopted town plans. To the extent that the policies of
the Village are more restrictive in regard to the protection of the
public health, safety, welfare, environmental quality, or in terms
of implementing the Village's Comprehensive Plan or Official Map,
the Village's policies shall prevail. All land divisions within the
extraterritorial limits will be subject to the following land reservation
or dedication requirements:
A. Any public right-of-way area identified in the Village's Comprehensive
Plan or Official Map shall be dedicated in conformance with requirements
of this chapter.
B. Any waterway or stormwater management area identified on the Village's
Comprehensive Plan or Official Map shall be dedicated in conformance
with requirements of this chapter.
C. All parklands proposed in adopted elements of the Village's Comprehensive
Plan or Official Map shall be reserved or dedicated to the extent
allowed under this chapter.
Such land divisions shall pay the required review fees contained
in this chapter prior to initial placement on the Plan Commission
agenda.
The plat or certified survey map shall include the entire original
parcel of land from which any new lots or parcels are created, and
a note shall be placed on the face of the plat or certified survey
map indicating areas necessary for compliance with the density standard
established herein.
In addition to the procedures for land divisions within the
Village limits, land divisions in the Village's Extraterritorial Land
Division Jurisdiction shall also meet the following requirements:
A. In all cases, the time period within which action is required shall
not begin until the town board, the staff serving the Walworth County
Zoning Agency, and the Village of Williams Bay have received all maps,
drawings, and data required for plat or certified survey map approval.
B. No person shall divide any land located within the Village's extraterritorial
jurisdiction without first filing an application and paying the Village's
standard land division review fees. The timing for filing the application
and paying the Village's review fees shall be the same as otherwise
required per land division within the Village.
C. Submittal requirements for land divisions within the Village's Extraterritorial
Land Division Jurisdiction shall be identical to those required for
land divisions within the Village limits.
