A.
Title. This chapter shall be known as the "Building Code
of the Village of New Glarus."
B.
Purpose. This chapter provides certain minimum standards,
provisions and requirements for safe and stable design, methods of construction
and uses of materials in buildings and/or structures hereafter erected, constructed,
enlarged, altered, repaired, moved, converted to other uses or demolished
and regulates the equipment, maintenance, use and occupancy of all such buildings
and/or structures. Its purpose is to protect and foster the health, safety
and well-being of persons occupying or using such buildings and of the general
public.
C.
Scope. New buildings hereafter erected in, or any building
hereafter moved within or into, the Village shall conform to all the requirements
of this chapter except as they are herein specifically exempted from part
or all of its provisions. Any alteration, enlargement or demolition of an
existing building and any installation therein of electrical, gas, heating,
plumbing or ventilating equipment which affects the health or safety of the
users thereof or any other persons is a new building to the extent of such
change. Any existing building shall be considered a new building for the purposes
of this chapter whenever it is used for dwelling, commercial or industrial
purposes, unless it was being used for such purpose at the time this chapter
was enacted. The provisions of this chapter supplement the laws of the State
of Wisconsin pertaining to construction and use and the Zoning Code of the
Village and amendments thereto to the date this chapter was adopted and in
no way supersede or nullify such laws and the said Zoning Code.[1]
A.
Permit required.
(1)
General requirement. No building of any kind shall be
moved within or into the Village and no new building or structure, or any
part thereof, shall hereafter be erected or ground broken for the same or
enlarged, altered, moved, demolished, razed or used within the Village, except
as herein provided, until a permit therefor shall first have been obtained
by the owner or his/her authorized agent from the Building Inspector.
(2)
Alterations and repairs. The following provisions shall
apply to buildings altered or repaired:
(a)
Alterations. When not in conflict with any regulations,
alterations to any existing building or structure accommodating a legal occupancy
and use but of substandard type of construction, which involve either beams,
girders, columns, bearing or other walls, room arrangement, heating and air
conditioning systems, arrangement, light and ventilation, changes in location

to the minimum requirements of this chapter applicable to such occupancy and
use and given type of construction.[1]
(b)
Repairs. Work done for purposes of maintenance or replacements
in any existing building or structure which does not involve the structural
portions of the building or structure or which does not affect room arrangement,
light and ventilation, access to or efficiency of any exit stairways or exits,
fire protection, or exterior aesthetic appearance, and which does not increase
a given occupancy or use, shall be deemed minor repairs.
(c)
Alterations not permitted. When any existing building
or structure which, for any reason whatsoever, does not conform to the regulations
of this chapter has deteriorated from any cause whatsoever to an extent greater
than 50% of the equalized value of the building or structure, no alterations
or moving of such building or structure shall be permitted. Any such building
or structure shall be considered a menace to public safety and welfare and
shall be ordered vacated and thereafter demolished and the debris removed
from the premises.
(d)
Alterations and repairs required. When any of the structural
members of any building or structure have deteriorated from any cause whatsoever
to less than their required strength, the owner of such a building or structure
shall cause such structural members to be restored to their required strength,
failing in which the building or structure shall be considered a menace to
public safety and shall be vacated and thereafter no further occupancy or
use of the same shall be permitted until the regulations of this chapter are
complied with.

mark the property lines.
B.
Application. Application for a building permit shall
be made in writing upon a form furnished by the Building Inspector or his/her
designee and shall state the name and address of the owner of the land and
also the owner of the building, if different, the legal description of the
land upon which the building is to be located, the name and address of the
designer, the use to which said building is to be put and such other information
as the Building Inspector may require.
C.
Site plan approval.
(1)
All applications for building permits for any construction,
reconstruction, expansion or conversion, except for one- and two-family residences
in residentially zoned districts shall require site plan approval by the Plan

review of the application and plans and refer them along with a report of
his/her findings to the Plan Commission. The Plan Commission shall review
the application and may refer the application and plans to one or more expert
consultants selected by the Village Board to advise whether the application
and plans meet all the requirements applicable thereto in this chapter. Within
30 days of its receipt of the application, the Village Board shall authorize
the Building Inspector to issue or refuse a building permit.
(3)
Requirements. In acting on any site plan, the Plan Commission
shall consider the following:
(a)
The appropriateness of the site plan and buildings in
relation to the physical character of the site and the usage of adjoining

trees, shrubs, plants or grass lawns and that the site be effectively screened
so as not to impair the value of adjacent properties nor impair the intent
of purposes of this chapter.
(4)
Effect on municipal services. Before granting any site
approval, the Plan Commission may, besides obtaining advice from consultants,
secure such advice as may be deemed necessary from the Building Inspector
or other municipal officials, with special attention to the effect of such
approval upon existing municipal services and utilities. Should additional
facilities be needed, the Plan Commission shall not issue the final approval
until the Village has entered into an agreement with the applicant regarding
the development of such facilities.

utility or storage building upon a lot or parcel within the Village of New
Glarus without having fully complied with the following specifications:
A.
No building within the Village of New Glarus shall be
razed without a permit from the Building Inspector. A snow fence or other
approved barricade shall be provided as soon as any portion of the building
is removed and shall remain during razing operations. After all razing operations

other appropriate means, to eliminate such nuisance. The permittee shall take
all necessary steps, prior to the razing of a building, through the employment
of a qualified person in the field of pest control or by other appropriate

rodents and insects therefrom during and after the razing operations.
A.
Basement subflooring. First floor subflooring shall be
completed within 60 days after the basement is excavated.

to pedestrian or vehicular traffic shall erect a fence, wall or railing at
least four feet high between such opening or excavation and the public right-of-way.
C.
Closing of abandoned excavations. Any excavation for
building purposes or any uncovered foundation which shall remain open for
more than three months shall be deemed abandoned and a nuisance, and the Building
Inspector shall order that, unless the erection of the building or structure
on the excavation or foundation shall commence or continue forthwith, suitable
safeguards shall be provided to prevent accidental injury to children or other
frequenters or that the excavation or foundation be filled to grade. Such
order shall be served upon the owner of record or the owner's agent, where
an agent is in charge of the premises, and upon the holder of an encumbrance
of record in the manner provided for service of a summons in the Circuit Court.
If the owner or the holder of an encumbrance of record cannot be found, the
order may be served by posting it on the premises and publishing in the official
newspaper for two consecutive publications at least 10 days before the time
for compliance stated in the order commences to run. Such time shall be not
less than 14 nor more than 20 days after service. If the owner of the land
fails to comply with the order within the time required, the Building Inspector
shall cause the excavation or foundation to be filled to grade. The cost of
such abatement shall be charged against the real estate and entered on the
next succeeding tax roll as a special charge and shall bear interest at a

from any mechanical device, gutters, pipe, conduits or any other objects or
things used for the purpose of collecting, conducting, transporting, diverting,
draining or discharging stormwaters shall be discharged either to a storm
sewer, a dry well, an underground conduit leading to a drainage ditch or onto
the ground surface in such other manner as will not constitute a nuisance
as defined herein.
D.

provided and it is deemed necessary by the property owner and/or the Village
to discharge clear waters from a parcel of land, a storm sewer lateral shall
be installed and connected to the storm sewer main at the expense of the owner.

Conducting tests. If the Building Inspector or his/her
designated agent suspects an illegal clear water discharge as defined by this
chapter or by any other applicable provision of the Wisconsin Administrative
Code as it may, from time to time, be amended, he/she may, upon reasonable
notice and at reasonable times, enter the private premises where such illegal
clear water discharge is suspected and conduct appropriate tests to determine
whether such suspected illegal clear water discharge actually exists.
[Amended 8-7-2001 by Ord.
No. 01-04]
Each unit of a ground-floor dwelling unit shall have separate water
and sewer service entrances.
A.
General requirements.
(1)
No person shall move any building or structure upon any
of the public ways of the Village of New Glarus without first obtaining a
permit therefor from the Building Inspector and upon the payment of the required
fee. Every such permit issued by the Building Inspector for the moving of
a building shall designate the route to be taken and the conditions to be
complied with and shall limit the time during which said moving operations
shall be continued.
(2)
A report shall be made by Village employees with regard
to possible damage to trees. The estimated cost of trimming, removal and replacement
of public trees, as determined by the Village, shall be paid to the Village
Clerk-Treasurer prior to issuance of the moving permit.
(3)
Issuance of a moving permit shall further be conditioned
on approval of the moving route by the Village Board.
B.
Continuous movement. The movement of buildings shall
be a continuous operation during all the hours of the day and at night, until
such movement is fully completed. All such operations shall be performed with
the least possible obstruction to thoroughfares. No building shall be allowed
to remain overnight upon any street crossing or intersection or so near thereto
as to prevent easy access to any fire hydrant or any other public facility.
Lights shall be kept in conspicuous places at each end of the building during
the night.
C.
Street repair. Every person receiving a permit to move
a building shall, within one day after said building reaches its destination,
report that fact to the Building Inspector, who shall inspect the streets,
highways, curbs and gutters, and trees in the route over which said building
has been moved and ascertain their condition. If the removal of said building
has caused any damage to any street or highway, the person to whom the permit
was issued shall forthwith place them in as good repair as they were before
the permit was granted. On the failure of the said permittee to do so within
10 days thereafter to the satisfaction of the Village Board, the Village shall
repair the damage done to such streets and hold the person obtaining such
permit and the sureties on his/her bond responsible for the payment of same.[1]
D.
Conformity with chapter. No permit shall be issued to
move a building within or into the Village and to establish it upon a location
within the said Village until the Building Inspector has made an investigation
of such building at the location from which it is to be moved and is satisfied
from such investigation that said building is in a sound and stable condition
and of such construction that it will meet the requirements of this chapter
in all respects. A complete plan of all further repairs, improvements and
remodeling with reference to such building shall be submitted to the Building
Inspector, and he/she shall make a finding of fact to the effect that all
such repairs, improvements and remodeling are in conformity with the requirements
of this chapter and that, when the same are completed, the building as such
will so comply with said chapter. In the event a building is to be moved from
the Village to some point outside the boundaries thereof, the provisions with
respect to the furnishing of plans and specifications for proposed alterations
to such building may be disregarded.
E.
Bond.
(1)
Before a permit is issued to move any building over any
public way in the Village, the party applying therefor shall give a bond to
the Village of New Glarus in a sum to be fixed by the Building Inspector and
which shall not be less than $1,000, said bond to be executed by a corporate
surety or two personal sureties to be approved by the Village Board or its
designated agent conditioned upon, among other things, the indemnification
of the Village for any costs or expenses incurred by it in connection with
any claims for damages to any persons or property and the payment of any judgment
together with the costs and expenses incurred by the Village in connection
therewith arising out of the removal of the building for which the permit
is issued.
(2)
Unless the Building Inspector, upon investigation, shall find it to be a fact that the excavation exposed by the removal of such building from its foundation shall not be so close to a public thoroughfare as to permit the accidental falling therein of travelers or the location, nature and physical characteristics of the premises and the exposed excavation such as to make intrusion upon the premises and the falling into such excavation of children under 12 years of age unlikely, the bond required by Subsection E(1) shall be further conditioned upon the permittee erecting adequate barriers and, within 48 hours, filling in such excavation or adopting and employing such other means, devices or methods approved by the Building Inspector and reasonably adopted or calculated to prevent the occurrences set forth herein.
F.
Insurance. The Building Inspector shall require, in addition
to the said bond above indicated, public liability insurance covering injury
to one person in the sum of not less than $100,000 and for one accident in
a sum not less than $200,000, together with property damage insurance in a
sum not less than $50,000, or such other coverage as deemed necessary.
A.
Fees for building permits shall be as established by
resolution of the Village Board.
B.
Failure to obtain permit. No one may begin work prior
to obtaining a permit. Double permit fees shall be charged if work is begun
prior to the issuance of a permit and triple fees shall be charged if the
permit is not obtained within two business days, excluding the day of service,
after the service of a citation for failure to obtain a permit by any person
so authorized to issue citations under this chapter.
If any section, clause, provision or portion of this chapter or of the
Wisconsin Administrative Code adopted by reference is adjudged unconstitutional
or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions
shall not be affected.
A.
Unlawful building, structure or use. Any building or structure hereafter erected, enlarged, altered or repaired or any use hereafter established in violation of the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed an unlawful building, structure or use. The Building Inspector shall promptly report all such violations to the Village Board and Village Attorney, who shall bring an action to enjoin the erection, enlargement, alteration, repair or moving of such building or structure or the establishment of such use of buildings in violation of this chapter or to cause such building, structure or use to be removed, and such violation may also be subject to a penalty as provided in Chapter 1, General Provisions, § 1-5 of this Code. In any such action, the fact that a permit was issued shall not constitute a defense nor shall any error, oversight or dereliction of duty on the part of the Building Inspector or other Village officials constitute a defense. Compliance with the provisions of this chapter may also be enforced by injunctive order at the suit of the owner or owners of any real estate within the jurisdiction of this chapter.
B.
Notification of noncompliance; time period for correction;
additional penalties.
(1)
If an inspection reveals a noncompliance with this chapter
or the Uniform Dwelling Code, the Building Inspector shall notify the applicant
and the owner, in writing, of the violation to be corrected. All cited violations
shall be corrected within 30 days after written notification unless an extension
of time is granted pursuant to § COMM 20.10(1)(c), Wis. Adm. Code.
(2)
If, after written notification, the violation is not
corrected within 30 days, a stop-work order may be served on the owner or
his/her representative and a copy thereof shall be posted at the construction
site. Such stop-work order shall not be removed except by written notice of
the Building Inspector after satisfactory evidence has been supplied that
the cited violation has been corrected.
(3)
Each day each violation continues after the thirty-day
written notice period has run shall constitute a separate offense. Nothing
in this chapter shall preclude the Village from maintaining any appropriate
action to prevent or remove a violation of any provision of this chapter or
the Uniform Dwelling Code.
C.
Any person feeling aggrieved by an order or a determination
of the Building Inspector may appeal from such order or determination to the
Zoning Board of Appeals. Those procedures customarily used to effectuate an
appeal to the Zoning Board of Appeals shall apply.
D.
Except as may otherwise be provided by statute or ordinance,
no officer, agent or employee of the Village of New Glarus charged with the
enforcement of this chapter shall render himself/herself personally liable
for any damage that may accrue to persons or property as a result of any act
required or permitted in the discharge of his/her duties under this chapter.
Any suit brought against any officer, agent or employee of the Village as
a result of any act required or permitted in the discharge of his/her duties
under this chapter shall be defended by the legal representative of the Village
until the final determination of the proceedings therein.
[Amended 7-1-2003 by Ord. No. 03-04; 9-20-2005
by Ord. No. 05-05]
A.
Requirements.
(1)
Any and all buildings, structures, walkways or lighting
in the C-1 Commercial District and C-2 Highway Commercial District in the
Village of New Glarus, including all new construction or substantial alteration
or remodeling of existing construction, except for existing single-family
residence dwellings in said zones which are not used for commercial purposes,
shall conform in exterior design to the Swiss architectural theme adopted
by the Village and as presently evidenced by the Swiss architecture in the
commercial zoning districts of the Village.
B.
Definitions.
(1)
For purposes of Subsection A of this section, the terms "remodeling existing exterior construction" and "substantial alteration or remodeling" shall be defined as an interior and/or exterior alteration or remodeling, the total cost of which (including but not limited to electrical, mechanical, plumbing and structural changes) for a building or structure within any twenty-four-month period equals or exceeds 60% of the assessed value of that building or structure at the time the alteration or remodeling is commenced.
(2)
The terms "remodeling existing exterior construction"
and "substantial alteration or remodeling" shall also mean any interior and/or
exterior alteration or remodeling where three or more exterior elements of
the building are altered within any twenty-four-month period (including but
not limited to doors, windows, wall finish, paint, roofing material, and structural
changes). Each door, window or other item shall count as one element. Visible
exterior structural changes, including but not limited to removal or addition
of walls, roof framing, and/or additions, shall count as two of the three
elements for purposes of the definition. The Village Assessor and/or the Building
Inspector alone will make the determination as to whether the changes exceed
60% of the assessed value of the structure.
A.
Appointment; composition. The Design Review Committee
shall consist of five individuals appointed by the Village President, subject
to Village Board confirmation, at the annual organizational meeting. Members
shall serve staggered three-year terms of office. Individuals serving on this
Committee should have a varied background that will include representation
from architectural design, building trades, Swiss historians and other interested
parties.
B.
Permit. No building, structure, walkway, or lighting
shall be constructed, changed, altered or remodeled in any commercial zoning
district in the Village without first obtaining a building permit. All applications
for building permits for construction, changes, alterations or remodeling
of buildings, structures, walkways or lighting in the C-1 Commercial District
and C-2 Highway Commercial District shall first be submitted to and approved
by the Design Review Committee for compliance with this article for the Swiss
architectural theme. All applications for building permits are required to
be accompanied by plans and blueprints clearly defining the construction,
proposed location and dimensions, and all colors must be accurately portrayed
by submitting a colored rendering of the proposal by using colored pencils
or colored pens. The plans and elevations shall be drawn to scale and shall
clearly define the roofing materials and siding materials to be used and also
the finish, paint or other materials to be used or applied on all exterior
walls and trims and shall state a contemplated date of commencement and completion
of such construction. The plans and elevations will be the property of the
Village upon submission of the application.
C.
Review criteria. In determining whether the proposed
construction, change, alteration or remodeling conforms to exterior design
of the Swiss architectural theme, the Design Review Committee shall consider
the compatibility of the proposed exterior design with the existing Swiss
structures and designs in the commercial zoning districts in the Village and
may, in addition, consult Swiss design examples such as those contained in
the following publications:

E.
Preliminary sketch. An applicant may submit a preliminary
sketch prior to furnishing a complete set of plans and elevations for review
at a regularly scheduled Design Review Committee meeting. Upon review by the
Committee, the applicant shall complete the application as directed by the
Committee in accordance with this article. Committee meetings are scheduled
for the third Thursday of even-numbered months.
In the event the Design Review Committee denies or conditions an application
for a building permit for its failure to comply with this chapter or to conform
to the Swiss architectural theme, the applicant may, within 30 days of the
written notification of final action, file an appeal request with the Design
Review Committee and with the Village Clerk-Treasurer, who will place the
matter of the appeal on the agenda of the next scheduled Zoning Board of Appeals
meeting following receipt of the notice. Upon receipt by the Design Review
Committee of the notice of appeal, the Secretary thereof shall cause to be
copied, certified and delivered to the Village Clerk-Treasurer for use at
the appeal hearing, copies of all minutes, findings, recommendations or other
written memoranda pertaining to the application for which the appeal is taken.
The Zoning Board of Appeals at the time of hearing the appeal may grant or
deny the relief requested by the appellant or may modify the decision of the
Design Review Committee.
A.
Accessory fixtures. The Design Review Committee may require
utility boxes, meters, garbage receptacles and dumpsters, and outside fuel
containers located upon or used in conjunction with any commercial building
or structure in the Village, and outside vending machines, newspaper dispensers
and public telephone booths located in any commercial zoning district in the
Village, to comply with the Swiss architectural theme to the maximum extent
practical and feasible.
B.
Other regulations. The terms, provisions and requirements
of this article shall be in addition to and not in lieu of the requirements
set forth in the Uniform Building Code and other uniform codes adopted by
the Village or in any other ordinance, state statute or regulation governing
construction, building or zoning or other similar regulations applicable in
the Village.
C.
Painting. The painting of a new or existing commercial
building in a color different from the color originally approved shall require
approval by the Design Review Committee.
D.
Occupation criteria. Commercial buildings shall not be
occupied or opened for business until the approved exterior design features
of that building are finished. A temporary exemption may be granted by the
Design Review Committee for not more than six months, provided that the reason
for delayed completion is due to weather or other circumstances beyond the
control of the owner.
The Design Review Committee, in granting or denying approval of a design
in accordance with this article, should consider, among other criteria, the
criteria on the following list. This list is intended to serve as a guide
for prospective developers/builders of representative Swiss design features
which have proven effective on commercial buildings in the Village. The list
is not intended to be exhaustive, and the Design Review Committee may address
design features not included among the criteria set forth below:
A.
Inclusion of shutters with windows.
B.
Inclusion of window grids to give the look of paned windows.
C.
Use of stucco rather than stucco board on large exposed
walls. Where stucco board is approved, joints shall be covered with battens.
D.
Decorative, protective end caps or scroll-sawed ends
on exposed roof overhang support beams.
E.
Balconies or shutters and window flower boxes where second
floor windows are included.
F.
Architectural balconies not intended for actual use to
have an apparent means of access, i.e., a door or false door or large window.
G.
Use of glazed rather than artificial (painted) windows.
H.
Roof overhangs for all pitched roofs.
I.
Snow guards on all roofs, except for roofs designed to
hold the snow.
J.
Rain gutters, downspouts, and heat tapes for all eaves;
no drainage permitted onto sidewalks; connection shall be made to storm sewer
where available; no plastic downspouts shall be in contact with heat tape.
K.
Serving windows are prohibited from opening onto sidewalks
or public right-of-way. At least an eight-foot setback for serving windows
to outdoor, privately owned staging areas shall be provided.
L.
Avoid partial pitched roofs where visible to the street,
to prevent a false-front look.
M.
Battens over six inches in width should have a thickness
of 1 1/2 inches or more so as to minimize the changes of cupping and
warping.
N.
Use of flower boxes on balconies.
O.
General locations for signage shall be indicated on the
design review drawings, with evidence that flowers and other features will
not interfere.
P.
Inclusion of decorative scrollwork on fascia board and
other trim.
Q.
Inclusion of murals or artwork on exterior walls or around
windows and doors.
R.
Vending machines and newspaper boxes shall comply with
the Swiss theme.
A.
Purpose. The purpose of this section is to assist all involved in the design of new buildings and the remodeling of existing buildings, with the exception of those buildings that are identified as historic and which comply with the requirements of § 16-12, Historical Preservation Commission, in order to promote New Glarus' Swiss-Village theme.
B.
Swiss architecture. Switzerland is comprised of many
different cantons covering Swiss, German, Italian and French styles. The Village
of New Glarus will follow the architectural design of the historic area in
Switzerland.
C.
Design elements. The following design elements shall
be incorporated, as applicable, in design proposals brought before the New
Glarus Design Review Committee; altered and remodeled buildings shall be required
by this article to conform to the Swiss architectural theme in the Village
of New Glarus:
(1)
Shapes.
(a)
The single most defining shape of Swiss architecture
is the pitched roof with expansive overhangs, regardless of building size.
A Swiss roof is designed to hold snow for insulation. The overhangs deal with
ice buildup and help keep the area right next to the house free of snow.
(b)
Buildings are rectangular or are combinations of rectangles.
(c)
Very large warehouse or market-type buildings pose special
problems to this design theme. They must, however, include traditional Swiss
design elements and materials.
(2)
Roofs.
(a)
Each roof will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. The
recommended guidelines are 3 1/2: 5 1/2. The pitch of the roof shall
be aesthetically pleasing in relation to the building as determined by the
Swiss Architectural Design Committee.
(b)
Roof overhangs are expansive on the front and sides and
usually require rafter and lookout beams. Lookout beams shall be scrolled
or have decorative face plate. The scrolling shall be traditional rococo,
baroque or folk designs. Lookout beams shall not extend beyond the fascia.
(c)
Pitched roof materials:
[1]
Tile, simulated tile, standing seam metal, high-profile
asphalt shingles or heavy shakes are acceptable.
[2]
Acceptable colors for standing seam metal are red, brown,
green or gray. Galvanized metal is unacceptable. Tile or asphalt shingle colors
should be red, gray, or brown earth tones.
[3]
Standard overlap metal, plain shingles, and profile-less
asphalt shingles are not acceptable.
(d)
Fascia shall be scrolled or multiple profile.
(5)
Entryways. Many are arched. The arched doorway or entryway
is recommended to be constructed of wood or stucco or be of a wooden appearance.
Overhead doors shall match surrounding walls.
(6)
Windows.
(b)
A combination of the above is acceptable; however, one of the window treatment options of Subsection C(6)(a)[1] through [4] of this section is mandatory.
(c)
Flush, unadorned windows are unacceptable.
(9)
Colors. Color selection shall incorporate the following:
(a)
The predominant stucco color is white or off-white. Pastels
are acceptable but only with white or off-white accents on stucco trim. Bold
bright colors are unacceptable.
(b)
All wood trim (including beams, fascia and siding) shall
be stained with transparent wood-tone stain. Very seldom is opaque stain or
painted (color) trim used over wood. However, hunter green and other accent
colors are sometimes used for shutters and flower boxes.
(c)
A paint chip or paint sample shall be submitted with
the colored rendering of a design for all colors incorporated in the rendering.
This requirement applies to the sign and architectural theme sections of this
article. The sign portion of the mural is not exempt from this requirement,
although the rest of the mural is.
D.
Small commercial buildings. Single-story buildings, such
as roadside stands, bratwurst stands, etc., that are under 160 square feet
reflect the Swiss-type roof construction as larger buildings. They may have
all-wood outside wall construction. If all wood siding is used, the siding
must be tongue-and-groove cedar, pine, or squared log construction. Usually
the siding is applied horizontally. Plywood siding is unacceptable. Stucco
may be used. These buildings should have extensive overhangs front and back
with more modest overhangs on the sides. Natural wood-tone stains predominate
in Switzerland with little or no painting of the trim. Most of the ornate
features are scrolled trim with window shutter cutouts. Roofing materials
are the same as for larger buildings. The overall feeling should be rustic
in nature.
E.
Mechanical equipment. All mechanical equipment, e.g.,
heating and air conditioning equipment, air-handling ducts, and compressors,
shall be screened from view. False balconies, railings and parapet walls may
be utilized as long as they do not detract from the Swiss-style theme. Screening
plans/designs must be included in the architectural elevations presented for
Committee review and approval.
F.
Signs. All signs must conform with the Village Sign Ordinance.
G.
General considerations.
(1)
Swiss villages all have a distinctive look and are immediately
recognizable by the rooflines. The low-angle roof predominates. Some classic
styles do exist in small villages, usually churches and government buildings.
(2)
Applicants may be asked to justify their design concepts
during review by the Design Review Committee. Supporting reference materials
shall be supplied to the Committee if the applicant's design is challenged
by the Committee.
H.
Portfolio of reference photographs. The Village Clerk-Treasurer
shall make color copies of the reference photographs available to the public
to view. A monetary deposit of $30 shall be required to check out the portfolio
of photographs. The following are included in the portfolio:
A.
Civil penalty. Violation of any of the terms and provisions of this article is deemed to be a civil infraction. Written notice shall be given by the Village Building Inspector to the violator, which written notice shall set forth the alleged violation and shall allow a reasonable time for the correction of such alleged violation. For purposes of this section, "reasonable time" for any nonstructural violation shall follow Village ordinances which include "reasonable time" for any structural violation or violations including extensive remodeling. If said violation is not corrected within the time limit set forth in said notice, then thereafter each day said violation continues shall be deemed to be a separate infraction. Any infraction under this article shall be punishable by a civil penalty in the amount of not less than $10 nor more than $1,000 for each such infraction, and any offending building, structure, walkway or lighting, utility or part thereof shall be removed at the owner's expense. (See Chapter 1, General Provisions, § 1-5, of this Code).
B.
Injunction and abatement. The Village, through its authorized
agents, may, in addition to any other remedy provided herein, initiate injunction
or abatement proceedings or other appropriate action in the Circuit Court
or the courts of this state against any person who violates or fails to comply
with any provision of this article or against the owner or user of any building,
structure, walkway, lighting, utility or part thereof which violates this
article to prevent, enjoin, abate or terminate violations of this article.
C.
Attorney fees. In any action brought by the Village to
enforce this article or in any action brought by any other person(s) in which
the Village is joined as a party challenging this article, in the event the
Village is a prevailing party, then the nonprevailing party challenging the
provisions of this article or the party against whom this article is enforced
in such action shall pay, in addition to the Village's costs, a reasonable
attorney fee at trial and in any appeal thereof incurred by the Village.
D.
Remedies cumulative. The remedies provided herein are
cumulative and not alternative remedies and are in addition to any other remedy
to which the Village may be entitled by law.
