The provisions of this chapter are adopted by the Town of Vinland
Town Board who has adopted village powers pursuant to the authority
granted by Chs. 61 and 236, Wis. Stats. This chapter requires either
a certified survey map or a subdivision plat to create new land parcels
or lots in the Town of Vinland.
This chapter shall be known as, referred to or cited as the
"Town of Vinland Land Division/Subdivision Ordinance."

It is not intended by this chapter to repeal, abrogate, annul, impair
or interfere with any existing easements, covenants, deed restrictions,
agreements, ordinances, rules, regulations or permits previously adopted
or issued pursuant to law. However, whenever this chapter imposes
greater restrictions, the provisions of this chapter shall govern.
B.
In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this chapter
shall be held to be minimum requirements and shall be liberally construed
in favor of the Town and shall not be deemed a limitation or repeal
of any other power granted by the Wisconsin Statutes.
If any section, provision or portion of this chapter is adjudged
unconstitutional or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction,
the remainder of this chapter shall not be affected thereby. The Town
does not guarantee, warrant or represent that only those areas designated
as floodlands will be subject to periodic inundation and that those
soils listed as being unsuited for specific uses are the only unsuited
soils within the Town, and thereby asserts that there is no liability
on the part of the Town Board of Supervisors, its agencies or employees
for sanitation problems or structural damages that may occur as a
result of reliance upon and conformance with this chapter.
This chapter shall be effective after a public hearing, adoption
by the Town Board of Supervisors, and publication or posting as provided
by law.
