GENERAL REFERENCES
Zoning — See Ch. 295.
It is the intent of the Board of Trustees 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 insure 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) of the Wisconsin Statutes.
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 Village of Hobart as heretofore laid out, adopted and established by law. There is hereby established, as the Official Map of the Village of Hobart, the Map which accompanies and is made a part of this chapter bearing the date of May 25, 1977. This map is hereby designated as the "Official Map of the Village of Hobart," 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.

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 this map.
