or property lines; soil mapping unit lines; topographic lines; center
lines of streets, roads, highways, alleys, easements, and railroad
right-of-way lines or such lines extended unless otherwise noted on

of passage of this chapter. The Town Clerk shall keep a revised version
of said Map reflecting any and all changes of zoning boundaries.
The following regulations set forth requirements that usually
do not apply universally throughout the Town, but rather cover things
that are applicable to one or more districts.
A.
Erection of more than one principal structure on a lot. In any district
no more than one structure housing permitted or conditional use may
be erected on a single lot except in the B-1, A-1, and A-2 Districts
where the requirements of those districts shall be met for each structure
as though it were on an individual lot; mobile homes only when in
a mobile home park or when they meet conditional use regulations in
A-1, A-2, or A-3 Districts.
B.
Exceptions to height regulations. The height limitations contained
in the requirements for permitted and conditional uses do not apply
to spires, belfries, cupolas, antennas, water tanks, fire towers,
windmills, ventilators, chimneys, or other appurtenances usually required
to be placed above the roof level and not intended for human occupancy.
C.
Structures to have access. Every residential building hereafter erected
or moved shall be on a lot adjacent to a public street and all structures
shall be so located on lots as to provide safe and convenient access
for servicing, fire protection, and required off-street parking.
D.
Parking and storage of certain vehicles. Automotive vehicles or trailers
of any kind or type without current license plates shall not be parked
or stored on any residentially zoned property other than in completely
enclosed buildings.
E.
A setback less than the setback required by this chapter may be permitted
where there are at least five existing main buildings existing at
the date of enactment of this chapter within 500 feet of the proposed
site that are built to less than the required setback. In such case,
the setback shall be the average of the nearest main building on each
side of the proposed site or, if there is no building on one side,
the average of the setback for the main building on one side and the
required setback. Such setback shall be granted by a permit from the
Town Board and shall not require a variance.
F.
In commercial or industrial districts, sufficient space for loading
or unloading of vehicles shall be provided off the highway in connection
with any commercial or industrial use so that the highway shall at
all times be free and unobstructed to the passage of traffic.
G.
Where a lot has an area less than the minimum number of square feet
per family required for the district in which it is located and was
of record as such at the time of the passage of this chapter, such
lot may be occupied by one family.
H.
Vacation of public streets, alleys, and right-of-ways shall cause
the land vacated to be automatically placed in the same district as
the abutting side to which the vacated land reverts.
I.
Districts adjacent to agricultural districts are to recognize that
agriculture is a necessary use and should be encouraged and there
are certain environmental conditions that take place as a normal part
of farm operation. Criteria used in reviewing this situation shall
consider which land use has existed for the longest period of time,
and what land use existed at the time the adjacent land use was created.
J.
Utility lines which will serve individual lots on new subdivisions
will be left to the discretion of the utility company.
K.
No overhead power, telephone or telegraph lines shall be erected
within 1/2 mile of any boundary of the site of any airport, landing
field, or landing and takeoff strip.
L.
The landing and takeoff of ultralight airplanes, parachute jumping,
and parasailing behind boats and similar uses are prohibited on or
into lakes of less than 100 acres.
M.
Restrictions on recreational vehicles. No person shall park or store
any recreational vehicle within the Town of Milton unless said recreational
vehicle is parked or stored in a licensed recreational vehicle park
except that a recreational vehicle may be parked or stored on a lot
located within any of the other districts, provided all the following
conditions are complied with:
(1)
At no time shall such parked or stored recreational vehicles be occupied
or used for living or housekeeping purposes unless the occupants of
said recreational vehicle are guests of Town residents or property
owners on a lot where an adequate water supply and toilet facilities
are available to the guests in the dwelling unit of their hosts.
(2)
No parked or stored recreational vehicle may be used as a permanent
storage unit.
(3)

(1)
The purpose of the R-R District is to provide a means of obtaining
the residential goals and objectives of the Development Guide. The
R-R District is to provide a quiet pleasant and relatively spacious
living area protected from traffic hazards and the intrusion of incompatible
land uses. The intent of the R-R District is to provide for rural
residential development on soils that are compatible for on-site disposal
of sewage effluent, will substantially support a residential structure,
and will not infringe on primary agricultural soils.
(2)
The following described soil types have been determined to have severe
limitations due to high water tables, slow permeability, lateral seepage,
liquefies easy, flotation of pipes, subject to frost heave, bedrock,
low bearing capacity, or frequent overflow and, therefore, no residential
development shall take place thereon:

A.
The Planned Unit Development (PUD) is an area with a minimum contiguous
acreage of five acres or more to be developed as a single entity according
to a plan, containing one or more residential clusters, limited commercial
clusters, or planned residential developments, and/or more public,
quasi-public, agricultural and/or conservation areas. The basic principle
of the PUD is that property rights usually include a private area
or lot and access to commonly owned property which is usually owned
by a property owners' association or covered by easements which provide
common use amongst property owners.
B.
Purpose and intent of planned unit development. The PUD is established
herein to provide a regulatory framework designed to encourage and
promote improved environmental design by allowing for greater freedom,
imagination and flexibility in the development of land while insuring
substantial compliance to the basic intent of this chapter and the
general plan for community development. To this intent it allows diversification
and variation in the relationship on structures in developments conceived
and implemented as comprehensive and cohesive unified projects. It
is further intended to encourage more rational and economic development
with relation to public services, and to encourage and facilitate
preservation of open land.
C.
Lot area, lot width, height, floor area ratio, yard and usable open
space requirements.
(1)
In the PUD the requirements of the respective zoning district may
be relaxed to the discretion of the Planning and Zoning Committee
but in no case shall the maximum number of units per square foot in
relation to the total development be exceeded for the respective zoning
district.
(2)
A minimum of five acres of land shall be developed as a unit.
D.
Off-street parking. In the Planned Unit Development District, off-street
parking facilities shall be provided in accordance with applicable
zoning district regulations, and such requirements as are made a part
of an approved recorded precise development plan shall be, along with
the recorded plan itself, construed to be and enforced as a part of
this chapter.
E.
Criteria for approval. As a basis for determining the acceptability
of a planned unit development application, the following criteria
shall be applied to the precise development plan with specific consideration
as to whether or not it is consistent with the spirit and intent of
this chapter, has been prepared with competent professional advice
and guidance, and produces significant benefits in terms of environmental
design:
(1)
Character and intensity of land use. In a planned unit development,
the uses proposed and their intensity and arrangement on the site
shall be a visual and operational character which:
(a)
Are compatible with the physical nature of the site with particular
concern for preservation of natural features, tree growth, and open
space.
(b)
Would produce an attractive environment of sustained aesthetic
and ecological desirability, economic stability and functional practicality
compatible with the general development plans for the area as established
by the community.
(c)
Would not adversely affect the anticipated provision for school
or other municipal services.
(d)
Would not create a traffic or parking demand incompatible with
the existing or proposed facilities to serve it.
(2)
Economic feasibility and impact. The proponents of a planned unit
development application shall provide evidence satisfactory to the
Planning and Zoning Committee of its economic feasibility of available
adequate financing and that it would not adversely affect the economic
prosperity of the community or the values of surrounding properties.
(3)
Engineering design standards. The width of street right-of-way, width
and location of street or other paving, outdoor lighting, location
of sewer and water lines, provision for stormwater drainage or other
similar environmental engineering consideration shall be based upon
determination as to the appropriate standards necessary to implement
the specific function in the specific situation; provided, however,
that in no case shall standards be less than those necessary to insure
the public safety and welfare as determined by the Planning and Zoning
Committee.
(4)
Preservation and maintenance of open space. In a planned community
development area, adequate provision shall be made for the permanent
preservation and maintenance of common open space either by private
reservation or dedication of private land.
(a)
In the case of private reservation, the open area to be reserved
shall be protected against building development by conveying to the
public, as part of the conditions for project approval, an open space
easement over such open areas restricting the area against any future
building or use except as is consistent with that of providing landscaped
open space for the aesthetic and recreational benefit of the development.
Buildings or uses for limited commercial, recreational, or cultural
purposes compatible with the open space objective may be permitted
only where specifically authorized as part of the development plan
or subsequently with the express approval of the Town Board following
approval of building site and operational plans by the Planning and
Zoning Committee.
(b)
The care and maintenance of such open space reservation shall
be assured by establishment of appropriate management organization
for the project. The manner of assuring maintenance and assessing
such cost to individual properties shall be included in the title
to each property.
(c)
Ownership and tax liability of private open space reservation
shall be established and made a part of the conditions of the plan
approval.

Purpose and intent of Special Purpose Districts (SP). The purpose
of this district is to provide a means of obtaining the goals and
objectives of the Development Guide. The SP District is intended to
provide for those uses which create or could present special problems,
hazards or other circumstances with regard to the use of land. This
district is to include those uses of land which require large expanses
of land; those which afford hazards to health, safety, or other aspects
of the general welfare; those for which it is desirable to have a
limited number of a given land use within the community.
B.
Conditional uses. All such uses shall be conditional uses and subject to the consideration and approval of the Town of Milton Board with regard to such matters as the creation of nuisance conditions for the public or for users of nearby areas. The Committee will review the applicable facts pertaining to the proposed conditional use as found in Article V of this chapter and will approve the conditional use only after finding that its inclusion in this district possesses a high likelihood of not creating problems with regard to nearby parcels of land or occupants thereof and which are therefore permitted only subject to the fulfillment of conditions which effectively insure that no such problems will be created. The Committee may require special facilities as a condition of approval, such as, but not limited to, fences, trees, shrubbery, barriers, and other applicable material to protect the general public, the aesthetics of the area, or the immediate environment:
(1)
Refuse disposal sites, dumping grounds, sanitary landfill operations,
or similar uses with the specific provision that setbacks, screening,
protective fencing, or some combination of these be provided in a
manner adequate to protect the general public from any and all nuisances,
hazards or other harmful conditions.
(2)
Facilities for the production, mining, processing or storage of concrete,
blacktop, asphalt, or other pavings or road surfacing or building
materials.
(3)
Airports open to the public, hangars, or accessory structures.

A.
Purpose and intent of Light Industrial District (M-1).
(1)
The purpose of the M-1 District is to provide a means of accomplishing
the economic goals and industrial objectives in the community's Development
Guide. The intent in having this district is to provide for industrial
areas where adequate transportation facilities, topographic conditions,
and utilities are available for industry. This district is to facilitate
the establishment of light industrial areas which are consistent with
the community as in relation to regional and national competitions.
(2)
The following soil types have severe engineering limitations because
of compressibility, high water table, shrink-swell potential, low
shear strength, excessive slope, low bearing capacity, are subject
to liquefaction and piping, frost heave, or are high erosive potential
and, therefore, no industrial development shall take place thereon:

A.
Purpose and intent of HC Overlay District. Within districts now existing
or hereafter created, it is intended to permit the creation of historic
and cultural conservation overlay districts in general areas or for
individual structures and premises officially designated as having
historic or cultural significance. Regulations within such districts
are in addition to the regulations of the underlying zoning district.
These regulations are intended to protect against destruction of or
encroachment upon such areas, structures or premises; to encourage
uses which will lead to their continuance, conservation, and improvement
in manner appropriate to preservation of the cultural and historic
heritage of the Town; to prevent creation of environmental influences
adverse to such purposes; to assure that new structures and uses within
such districts will be in keeping with the character to be preserved
and enhanced and thereby to protect and promote the general welfare
by maintaining and increasing property values, and making the district
a more attractive and desirable place in which to live.
B.
Permitted uses: continuation of existing uses when such use is in
conformity with permitted uses of underlying zoning district.
C.
Conditional uses:
(1)
A conditional use in this district is to permit the following uses
only after review and recommendation by the Historic District Committee,
public hearing, recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Committee,
and approval of the Town Board:
(a)
Any use change from an existing use which would be permitted by the
underlying district.
(b)
Any expansion of an existing use which is permitted by the underlying
district.
(c)
Any new construction of a permitted or conditional use pursuant
to the underlying zoning district.
(d)
Any demolition activity.
(2)
In general, the following items shall be considered in making decisions
about conditional use requests within this district:
(a)
Height. All new structures should by constructed to be a height
visually compatible with the buildings and environment with which
they are visually related.
(b)
Scale. The gross volume of any new structure should be visually
compatible with the building and environment with which it is visually
related.
(c)
Proportion of front facades. In the street elevation of a building,
the proportion between the width and height in the facade should be
visually compatible with the buildings and environment with which
it is visually related.
(d)
Proportion of openings. The proportions and relationships between
doors and windows in the street facades should be visually compatible
with the buildings and environment with which it is visually related.
(e)
The rhythm of solids to voids. The rhythm of solids to voids
created by openings in the facade should be visually compatible with
the buildings and environment with which it is visually related.
(f)
Rhythm of spacing. The existing rhythm created by existing building
masses and spaces between them should be preserved.
(g)
Relationship of materials. The material used in the final facades
should be visually compatible with the buildings and environment with
which it is visually related.
(h)
Relationship of textures. The texture inherent in the facade
should be visually compatible with the buildings and environment with
which it is visually related.
(i)
Relationship of roofs. The design of the roof should be visually
compatible with the buildings and environment with which it is visually
related.
(j)
Landscaping. The landscape plan should be sensitive to the individual
building, its occupants and their needs. Further, the landscape treatment
should be visually compatible with the buildings and environment with
which it is visually related.
(k)
Directional expression of front elevation. All street facades
should blend with other buildings via directional expression. When
adjacent buildings have a dominant horizontal or vertical expression,
this expression should be carried over and reflected.
(l)
Relationship of architectural details. Architectural details
should be incorporated as necessary to relate the new with the old
and to preserve and enhance the inherent characteristics of the area.
D.
Requirement for permitted and conditional uses:
(1)
Maximum building height: within 10% of average of adjacent building
heights.
(2)
Minimum front yard setback: underlying district or average of adjacent
yards.
(3)
Minimum rear yard setback: underlying district or average of adjacent
yards.
(4)
Minimum lot width, minimum lot frontage and minimum lot area: underlying
district. However, lots or portions of lots existing in HC Districts
may be combined, but no existing lot or combination of lots, parcels,
or portions thereof, in single ownership at the time of zoning to
HC status, shall be reduced in width, depth, or area without the approval
of the Planning and Zoning Committee.
(5)
Minimum side yard setback: underlying district or average of adjacent
yards.
(6)
Minimum lot area per dwelling unit: as required by the Rock County
Sanitary Code. Lot dimensions (proportion of length to width) shall
approximate that of existing lots as being used.
(7)
Off-street parking. Off-street parking and loading space shall be
as required for the underlying zoning; provided, however, that the
following regulations shall apply to the location of such parking
facilities:
(a)
No required off-street parking or loading space shall be located
in any front yard.
(b)
It is the intent of these regulations to permit off-site parking
where required on-site parking is impractical or would have adverse
effects on the appearance of the property or of the district. It is
also intended to encourage provision of such off-site parking in grouped
facilities in interior-block parking lots or courts or at other appropriate
locations which will be convenient for users, reduce interference
with pedestrian and vehicular traffic by minimizing curbcuts and sidewalk
crossings, and make available for other purposes those areas of lots
which would otherwise be required to provide driveways and parking
space.
E.
The Historic District Committee shall be notified of all applications
for conditional use permits within this district. The Historic District
Committee shall review the plans, visit the site for which the conditional
use permit is requested, and shall advise the Planning and Zoning
Committee as to whether or not the plans are compatible with the surrounding
area.
F.
