[Amended 11-30-1999 by Ord. No. 113099B]
Section 236.45 of the Wisconsin statutes enables
villages with an established planning agency to adopt ordinances governing
subdivisions or other divisions of land. The following regulations
are adopted for the purpose of promoting the public health, safety
and general welfare and are designed to lessen congestion in the streets
and highways; to further the orderly layout and use of land; to secure
safety from fire, panic and other dangers; to provide adequate light
and air; to prevent the overcrowding of land; to avoid improper concentrations
of population; to facilitate adequate provision for transportation,
water, sewage, schools, parks, playgrounds and other public requirements;
to facilitate the further resubdivision of larger tracts into smaller
parcels of land; and to encourage the most appropriate use of land
throughout the village. To provide safe and orderly shoreland subdivision
layouts, the following regulations are also adopted pursuant to W.S.A.
ss. 59.692(3), 281.31(2) and 281.31(8).
These regulations shall apply to the following:
A.

area of the village or the extraterritorial plat approval jurisdiction
of the village, as that phrase is defined in W.S.A. s. 236.02(5),
which results in a plat, as defined herein.

by said Chapter 236 of the Wisconsin statutes and as required in this
chapter.
