[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of
Baldwin 9-3-2008. Amendments noted where applicable.]
It is the intent of the Village Board 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 jurisdictional area of this chapter shall include all lands
within the corporate limits of the Village of Baldwin and those areas
outside the Village within the extraterritorial plat approval jurisdiction
of the Village.

this chapter bearing the date of October 4, 2021. This map is hereby
designated as the "Official Map of the Village of Baldwin," 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 Village Board may change or add to the Official Map so as

any platted existing, proposed, or planned streets, highways, parkways,
parks or playgrounds, railway rights-of-way, public transit facilities,

the public hearing shall be published as a Class 2 notice pursuant
