It is the intent of the Village 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 facilitate adequate provision for transportation, parks,
playgrounds and stormwater drainage; and to facilitate the further subdivisions
of larger tracts into smaller parcels of land.
This chapter is enacted under the authority granted by § 62.23(6),
Wis. Stats.

of any street, highway, parkway, park or playground or the taking or acceptance
of any land for these purposes.
It shall be the duty of the Village Building Inspector to enforce the
provisions of this chapter.
