A. 
The Board hereby finds certain issues arise in condominium developments that require limited applicability of this chapter to condominium developments. The State Legislature has recognized subdivision ordinances may apply to condominiums, but subdivision ordinances shall not impose burdens upon condominiums different from those imposed on other property of a similar character not subject to a declaration of condominium.
B. 
The factor that makes this chapter applicable to a condominium development is the creation of multiple, distinct property entities at or near the ground surface, subject to property taxation as separate parcels, with each property entity having different ownership and management. Greenville determines this factor makes a condominium development dissimilar, both physically and in ownership, from developments in which the land and improvements are under unitary ownership, management and control.
C. 
Thus, the Board hereby finds new condominium developments can place impacts on community resources in the same manner as other new developments are characterized by division of land into lots. These impacts include:
(1) 
Additional population density;
(2) 
Possibility of use of particular land in a manner unsuitable to the land's characteristics;
(3) 
Additional demands upon Greenville parks, recreation areas, utility facilities and schools;
(4) 
Additional traffic and street use.
The following sections of this chapter shall apply to condominium developments:
A. 
Section 270-7, relating to land suitability and construction practices;
B. 
Article IV, relating to preliminary plat approval. This state of approval shall be the only approval required for a condominium development. The technical requirements for preliminary plats set forth in Article IX of this chapter shall not apply, since condominiums have separate technical standards set forth in Chapter 703, Wis. Stats.;
C. 
Article VIII, relating to dedication requirements;
D. 
Article X, relating to lot and street layout design standards;
E. 
Article XI, relating to required improvements;
F. 
Article XII, relating to fees for review.
This chapter shall not apply to the following condominiums:
A. 
Any condominium plat recorded prior to the effective date of this chapter.
B. 
Any conversion of a structure or structures in existence on the effective date of this chapter to a condominium after the effective date of this chapter.
