The Village Board makes the following legislative findings relating
to nonconformities:
A. There may be existing lots, structures, uses, and signs in the Village
that were lawfully established but that do not now comply with one
or more provisions of the zoning district in which they are located.
B. It is not the intent of this chapter to perpetuate and/or encourage
the long-term continuance of nonconformities because they are inconsistent
with the requirements and character of the zoning districts involved,
or to permit nonconformities to be enlarged, expanded, or extended
except as provided for herein.
C. State law permits the reconstruction of nonconforming structures
under certain circumstances.
A mobile home or a manufactured home not located in a mobile
home park is considered a nonconforming use.
The ordinary maintenance and repair of a nonconforming boathouse
that extends beyond the ordinary high-water mark shall comply with
§ 30.121, Wis. Stats.
The shoreland-wetland provisions of this chapter authorized
by § 62.231, Wis. Stats., shall not limit the repair, reconstruction,
renovation, remodeling, or expansion of a nonconforming structure
in existence on the effective date of the shoreland wetland provisions,
or of any environmental control facility in existence on May 7, 1982,
related to such a structure. All other modifications to nonconforming
structures are subject to § 62.23(7)(h), Wis. Stats., which
limits total lifetime structural repairs and alterations to 50% of
current fair market value.
Special provisions relating to nonconformities in the floodplain
overlay district are included in Article 9.
