[Prior code § 18.08(1)]
The following policies shall govern the Village Plan Commission
in approving division of land within the extraterritorial area in
order to protect rural character and farming viability, if the Village
elects to apply its extraterritorial land division authority through
board resolution.
A. No subdivisions as defined in this title will be permitted within
the 1 1/2 mile extraterritorial limits of the Village, without
approval of the Village Board.
B. Minor subdivisions will be permitted for farm-related dwellings and
for rural residential dwelling, not exceeding an overall density of
one dwelling unit for 35 acres, exclusive of the farmstead. Lots for
commercial use will be handled on a case-by-case basis. The standards
used to review these land divisions will be the same as the standards
contained in the Walworth County exclusive agricultural zoning district
ordinances which are used for considering rezonings. The only exception
to this policy is that lots resulting in the infill of existing subdivisions
may be permitted.
C. The minimum lot size in the 1 1/2 mile extraterritorial area
shall be one acre. A smaller lot size may be allowed if also approved
by the respective town board.
D. The Village will attempt to seek consistency of locally adopted town
plans. To the extent that the policies of the Village are more restrictive,
the Village's policies shall prevail. All minor subdivisions
within the extraterritorial area will be subject to the land reservation
or dedication requirements of this title. This specifically means
the following:
1. Any waterway or storm water management area identified on the Village
master plan or official map shall be dedicated in conformance with
requirements of this title;
2. Any lands falling within the limits of an environmental corridor,
as mapped by the Village will be required to record a public open
space easement specifying that the use shall be consistent with conservancy
area zoning in the Village zoning ordinance.
E. Lands falling within the mile and a half of the extraterritorial
area shall be required to meet all of the design standards contained
in this title.
F. Minor subdivisions within the extraterritorial area will be required
to follow erosion control plans in compliance with this title.
G. All land divisions within the extraterritorial area shall pay the
required review fees contained in this title.
H. The Plan Commission may require placement of covenants or deed restrictions
that are deemed necessary and appropriate by the Village Plan Commission
to protect the purpose and intent of the Village's plans and
ordinances. Any such restrictions shall be placed on the face of the
certified survey map or on surrounding lands from which the lot or
lots were created to verify the density standard established herein.
I. If a variance is granted to the above provision the resulting division
of land shall conform to all of the pertinent regulations of this
title.
[Prior code § 18.08(2)]
In all cases, the time period within which action is required
shall not begin until the town board, the staff serving the Walworth
County zoning committee, and the Village have received all maps, drawings
and data required for plat approval.
A. No person, firm or corporation shall divide any land located within
the 1 1/2 mile extraterritorial plat approval jurisdiction of
the Village, without first filing an application and a certified survey
map for approval by the Plan Commission.
B. Pre-application Procedure. Before filing an application for approval
of a certified survey, the subdivider shall consult with the director
of public works and shall prepare the following:
1. Prepare a preliminary sketch for review and approval;
2. Complete a concept plan (per Section
16.12.050) and a site assessment checklist (per Section
16.12.030), or when required, an expanded site assessment report (per Section
16.12.040) for review and approval. This procedure is intended to assist the developer in appraising the objectives of these regulations, the master plan, the official map and other pertinent Village ordinances. The pre-application information shall be submitted to the Plan Commission for review and approval.
[Prior code § 18.08(3)]
Submittal requirements for land divisions within the extraterritorial
land division jurisdiction enacted by Village Board resolution shall
be identical to those required for land divisions within the Village
limits.
