of the Village, the Zoning Administrator may grant one extension of
such zoning use permit or building permit for a period not to exceed
12 months.
There are no uses listed as conditional uses in this chapter.
Any use listed as a conditional use in this chapter shall be permitted only after an application has been submitted to the Zoning Administrator and a conditional use permit has been granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals following the procedures in §§
306-28,
306-29 and
306-30 of this chapter.
Upon consideration of the permit application and the standards applicable to the conditional uses designated in §
306-12C of this chapter, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall attach such conditions to a conditional use permit, in addition to those required elsewhere in this chapter, as are necessary to further the purposes of this chapter as listed in §
306-2. Such conditions may include specifications for, without limitation because of specific enumeration: type of shore cover; erosion controls; increased setbacks; specific sewage disposal and water supply facilities; landscaping and planting screens; period of operation; operational control; sureties; deed restrictions; location of piers, docks, parking areas and signs; and type of construction. To secure information upon which to base its determination, the Zoning Board of Appeals may require the applicant to furnish, in addition to the information required for a zoning permit, other pertinent information which is necessary to determine if the proposed use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter.
The Village Board may, by resolution, adopt fees for the following:
B. Certificates of compliance.
D. Legal notice publications.
Where a zoning permit or conditional use permit is approved,
an appropriate record shall be made by the Zoning Administrator of
the land use and structures permitted.
Where the conditions of a zoning permit or conditional use permit
are violated, the permit shall be revoked by the Zoning Board of Appeals.
The Village President shall appoint a Zoning Board of Appeals
under § 62.23(7)(e), Wis. Stats., consisting of five members
subject to confirmation by the Village Board. The Zoning Board of
Appeals shall adopt rules for the conduct of its business as required
by § 62.23(7)(e)3., Wis. Stats.
The Zoning Board of Appeals:

in any order, requirement, decision or determination made by an administrative
official in the enforcement or administration of this chapter.
B. Shall hear and decide applications for conditional use permits.
C. May authorize upon appeal a variance from the dimensional standards
of this chapter where an applicant convincingly demonstrates:
(1) That literal enforcement of the terms of the ordinance will result
in unnecessary hardship for the applicant.
(2) That the hardship is due to special conditions unique to the property;
and is not self-created or based solely on economic gain or loss;
(3) That such variance is not contrary to the public interest as expressed
by the purpose of this chapter and;
(4) That such variance will not grant or increase any use of property
which is prohibited in the zoning district.
Appeals to the Zoning Board of Appeals may be taken by any person
aggrieved or by an officer, department, board, or bureau of the community
affected by any order, requirement, decision, or determination of
the Zoning Administrator or other administrative official. Such appeals
shall be taken within a reasonable time, as provided by the rules
of the Board by filing with the official whose decision is in question,
and with the Zoning Board of Appeals, a notice of appeal specifying
the reasons for the appeal. The Zoning Administrator or other official
whose decision is in question shall transmit to the Board all the
papers constituting the record on the matter appealed.
