It is the intent of the Common Council to establish
an Official Map for the purpose of serving and promoting the public
health, safety, convenience, economy, orderliness, and general welfare
of the community; to further the orderly layout and use of land; to
stabilize the location of real property boundary lines; to ensure
proper legal descriptions and proper monumenting of land; to facilitate
adequate provision for transportation, parks, playgrounds, and stormwater
drainage; and to facilitate the further subdivision of larger tracts
into smaller parcels of land.
This chapter is enacted under the authority
granted by § 62.23(6), Wis. Stats.
The Official Map shall show the location and
extent of all platted and existing streets, highways, parkways, parks,
and playgrounds within the corporate limits of the City of Burlington
as heretofore laid out, adopted, and established by law. There is
hereby established as the Official Map that map which accompanies
and is made part of this chapter bearing the date of February 17,
1988. This map is hereby designated as the "Official Map of the City
of Burlington," and all notations, references, and other information
shown thereon shall be as much a part of this chapter as though the
matters and information thereon were fully described herein.
The Common Council may change or add to the
Official Map so as to establish the exterior lines of, widen, narrow,
extend or close any platted existing, proposed, or planned streets,
highways, parkways, parks or playgrounds, railway rights-of-way, public
transit facilities, or waterways.
A. The Common Council shall refer any change or addition
to the Official Map to the City Plan Commission for review and report
thereon prior to adoption. The City Plan Commission shall report its
recommendations to the Common Council within 60 days.
B. A public hearing of parties in interest and citizens
before the Common Council shall be required before any changes or
additions to the Official Map are effective. Parties in interest are
those persons owning land which is to be placed on or removed from
the Official Map, abutting property owners, and all property owners
within 100 feet. Notice of the public hearing shall be published as
a Class 2 notice pursuant to Ch. 985, Wis. Stats.
C. Changes and additions made by duly approved subdivision
plats shall not require the public hearing if the changes or additions
do not affect any land outside the area being platted.
A. For the purpose of preserving the integrity of the
Official Map, a building permit shall be required for any structure
or part thereof that shall hereafter be located, erected, moved, reconstructed,
extended, enlarged, converted, or structurally altered. No permit
shall hereafter be issued for any building in the bed of any existing
or proposed street, highway or parkway shown on the Official Map.
No permit for the erection of any building shall be issued unless
a street, highway, or parkway giving access to such proposed structure
has been duly placed on the map.
B. The Building Inspector may require each applicant
for a building permit to submit a plan, prepared and certified by
a registered land surveyor, showing accurately the location of any
proposed building with reference to any street, highway, or parkway
shown on the Official Map.
No public sewer or other municipal street utility
or improvement shall be constructed in any street, highway, or parkway
within the corporate limits of the City of Burlington until such street,
highway, or parkway is duly placed on the Official Map.
The Zoning Board of Appeals shall have the power
to review any administrative decision of the City Building Inspector
to deny a permit for the erection of a structure under this chapter
and to grant relief from the requirements of this chapter under the
provisions of § 62.23(6)(e), (g) and (h), Wis. Stats.

The certified copy shall bear on its face a certification that it is a true copy of the Official Map described in and accompanying this chapter and shall show the date of adoption of this chapter and shall be signed by the Mayor and countersigned by the City Clerk. Thereafter, no change or addition to such Official Map shall become effective until it shall have been indicated by the appropriate convention on the aforesaid certified copy of the Official Map and a certificate placed thereon or attached thereto bearing the number and date of adoption of the amending ordinance or resolution, and the name or initials of the person who makes the Official Map revision.
[Amended 11-18-2003 by Ord. No. 1740(20)]

governmental agency, for street, highway, and parkway purposes, of
