[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the
Town of Ledgeview 3-20-2007 by Ord. No. 2007-005. Amendments noted
where applicable.]
It is the intent of the Town Board 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 ensure
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 large tracts
into smaller parcels of land.
This chapter is enacted under the authority
granted by W.S.A. § 62.23(6).
There is hereby established, as the Official
Map of the Town of Ledgeview, the map which accompanies and is made
a part of this chapter bearing the date of March 20, 2007. This map
is hereby designated as the "Official Map of the Town of Ledgeview,"
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. The Official Map
shall show the location and extent of all platted and existing streets,
highways, drainageways, parkways, parks and playgrounds, airports
and airport affected areas, and historic districts within the corporate
limits of the Town of Ledgeview as theretofore laid out, adopted and
established by law, except the drainageways outside the Town limits
shall not be included on the Official Map.
A.
The Town Board may change or add to the Official Map
so as to establish the exterior lines of, widen, narrow, extend, or
close any platted, existing, proposed, or planned streets, highways,
drainageways, parkways, and parks or playgrounds, except that drainageways
outside the Town limits shall not be included on the Official Map.
B.
The Town Board shall refer any change or addition
to the Official Map to the Town Plan Commission for review and report
thereon prior to adoption. The Town Plan Commission shall report its
recommendation to the Town Board within 60 days.
C.
A public hearing of parties in interest and citizens
before the Town Board shall be required before any changes or additions
to the Official Map are effective. Notice of the public hearing shall
be published as a Class 2 notice pursuant to Chapter 985 of the Wisconsin
Statutes.
D.
Changes and additions made by duly approved subdivision
plats shall not require a public hearing if the change or additions
do not affect any land outside the area being platted.
A.
For the purpose of preserving the integrity of the
Official Map, no building permit shall hereafter be issued for any
building in the bed of any existing or proposed street, highway, drainageway,
or parkway shown on the Official Map. No permit for the erection of
any building shall be issued unless a street or highway giving access
to such proposed structure has been duly placed on the map.
B.
The Zoning Administrator may require each applicant
for a building permit to submit a plan, prepared and certified by
a registered land surveyor, showing accurately the location of any
proposed building with reference to any street, drainageway, or parkway
shown on the Official Map.
[Amended 5-17-2022 by Ord. No. 2022-10]
No public sewer or other municipal street utility
or improvement shall be constructed in any street, highway, or parkway
within the jurisdictional area of this chapter until such street,
highway, or parkway is duly placed on the Official Map.
[Amended 5-17-2022 by Ord. No. 2022-10]
The Plan Commission shall have the power to
review any administrative decision of the Town Zoning Administrator
to deny a permit for the erection of a structure under this chapter
and to grant relief from the requirements of this chapter under the
provisions of W.S.A. § 62.23(6)(e), (f), and (g).
There shall be a certified copy of the Official Map described in § 70-3. The certified copy shall be kept in the office of the Town Clerk, and shall be available for inspection by any interested person during regular office hours. The certified copy shall bear on its face a certification that it is a true copy of the Official Map described in and accompanying this chapter and shall show the date of adoption of this chapter and shall be signed by the Town Chair and countersigned by the Town Clerk. Thereafter, no change or addition to such Official Map shall become effective until it shall have been indicated by the appropriate convention on the aforesaid certified copy of the Official Map and a certificate placed thereon or attached thereto bearing the number and date of adoption of the amending ordinance. The certificate shall be signed by the Town Chair and countersigned by the Town Clerk.
Upon adoption of the Official Map or any amendment
thereto, the Town Clerk shall immediately record a true copy of the
Official Map, as adopted or amended, with the Register of Deeds of
the County of Brown, Wisconsin.
