E. 
Applicability to condominiums. This chapter is expressly applicable to condominium developments within the Village's jurisdiction, pursuant to § 703.27(1), Wis. Stats.

F. 
Recording of plats or certified surveys. Plats and certified surveys approved by the Village Board of the Village of New Glarus must be recorded per this chapter and §§ 236.25 and 236.34, Wis. Stats.
[Amended 7-1-2003 by Ord. No. 03-04; 3-3-2020 by Ord. No. 20-02]
No land shall be subdivided for residential, commercial or industrial use which is held unsuitable for such use by the Village Board, upon the recommendation of the Plan Commission, for reason of flooding, inadequate drainage, adverse soil or rock formation, unfavorable topography or any other feature likely to be harmful to the health, safety, or welfare of the future residents of the proposed subdivision or of the community. The Village Board, in applying the provisions of this section, shall in writing recite the particular facts upon which it bases its conclusion that the land is not suitable for residential use and afford the subdivider an opportunity to present evidence regarding such unsuitability if he so desires. Thereafter the Village Board, upon the recommendation of the Plan Commission, may affirm, modify, or withdraw its determination of unsuitability.
A. 
Purpose.
(1) 
The Village Board hereby finds that certain issues arise in condominium developments that require limited applicability of this chapter to condominium developments. The State Legislature has recognized that subdivision ordinances may apply to condominiums but that subdivision ordinances shall not impose burdens upon condominiums that are different from those imposed on other property of a similar character not subject to a declaration of condominium.
(2) 
The factor that makes this chapter applicable to a condominium development is the creation of multiple, distinct property entities at or near the ground surface, subject to property taxation as separate parcels, with each property entity having different ownership and management. The Village determines that this factor makes a condominium development dissimilar, both physically and in ownership, from developments in which the land and improvements are under unitary ownership, management, and control.
(3) 
Thus, the Village Board hereby finds that new condominium developments can place impacts on community resources in the same manner as other new developments which are characterized by division of land into lots. These impacts include:
(a) 
Additional population density.
(b) 
Possibility of use of particular land in a manner unsuitable to the land's characteristics.
(c) 
Additional demands upon Village area parks, recreation areas, utility facilities and schools.
(d) 
Additional traffic and street use.
B. 
Portions of chapter applicable to condominium developments. The following sections of this chapter shall apply to condominium developments:
(1) 
Section 265-8, relating to land suitability and construction practices.
(2) 
Sections 265-10 through 265-12, relating to preliminary plat approval. This stage of approval shall be the only approval required for a condominium development. The technical requirements for preliminary plats set forth in § 265-18 shall not apply, since condominiums have separate technical standards set forth in Ch. 703, Wis. Stats.
(3) 
Article IX, relating to fees for review.
(4) 
Article VI, relating to required improvements.
(5) 
Article VII, relating to design standards for improvements.
(6) 
Article VIII, relating to dedication requirements.
C. 
Exceptions. This section shall not apply to the following condominiums:
(1) 
Any condominium plat recorded prior to the effective date of this chapter.
(2) 
Any conversion of a structure or structures in existence on the effective date of this chapter to a condominium after the effective date of this chapter.
