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.
[Amended 10-2-2001 by Ord.
No. 01-06]
A. The Official Map shall show the location and extent of
all platted and existing streets, highways, parkways, parks and playgrounds
within the corporate limits of the Village of New Glarus as hereinbefore laid
out, adopted and established by law. There is hereby established, as the Official
Map of the Village of New Glarus, the map updated by Strand and Associates
which accompanies and is made a part of this chapter. This map is hereby designated as the Official Map of the Village
of New Glarus, 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.
B. Pursuant to § 62.23(6)(d), Wis. Stats., the
streets, highways or parkway systems shown on the Official Map may be shown
as extending beyond the boundaries of the Village in extraterritorial areas.
No public sewer or other municipal street utility or improvement shall
be constructed in any street, highway or parkway until such street, highway
or parkway is duly placed on the Official Map.
The Zoning Board of Appeals shall have the power to review any administrative
decision of the Village Building Inspector 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 provision of § 62.23(6)(d), (e), (f),
(g) and (h), Wis. Stats.
There shall be a certified copy of the Official Map described in §
60-3. The certified copy shall be kept in the office of the Village Clerk-Treasurer 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 Village President and countersigned by the Village Clerk-Treasurer. 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 resolution. The certificate shall be signed by the Village President and countersigned by the Village Clerk-Treasurer. For purposes of this section, plats, certified survey maps and property transactions complying with applicable laws and ordinances do not require certification when being placed on the Official Map.
The Village Clerk-Treasurer shall be responsible immediately upon adoption
of the Official Map or any amendment thereto for recording a true copy thereof
with the Register of Deeds for Green County, Wisconsin.
The placing of any street, highway, parkway, park or playground line
or lines upon the Official Map does not constitute the opening or establishment
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.
