16.50.010 Enforcement, penalties and remedies.

(a) Violations. It shall be unlawful to build upon, divide, convey, record or monument any land in violation of this title or the Wisconsin Statutes and no person shall be issued a building permit by the village or town authorizing the building on, or improvement of, any land division or replat within the jurisdiction of this title not of record as of the effective date of the ordinance codified in this title until the provisions and requirements of this title have been fully met. The village may institute appropriate action or proceedings to enjoin violations of this title or the applicable Wisconsin Statutes.

(b) Penalties.

(1) Any person, firm or corporation who fails to comply with the provisions of this title shall, upon conviction thereof, forfeit no less than $25.00 nor more than $1,000 and the costs of prosecution for each violation, and in default of payment of such forfeiture costs shall be imprisoned in the county jail until payment thereof, but not exceeding six months. Each day a violation exists or continues shall constitute a separate offense.

(2) Recordation improperly made has penalties provided in Section 236.30, Wis. Stats.

(3) Conveyance of lots in unrecorded plats has penalties provided for in Section 236.31, Wis. Stats.

(4) Monuments disturbed or not placed have penalties as provided for in Section 236.32, Wis. Stats.

(5) Assessor’s plat made under Section 70.27, Wis. Stats., may be ordered by the village at the expense of the land divider when a subdivision is created by successive divisions.

(c) Appeals. Any person aggrieved by an objection to a plat or a failure to approve a plat may appeal therefrom, as provided in Sections 236.13(5) and 62.23(7)(e)(10), (14) and (15), Wis. Stats., within 30 days of notification of the rejection of the plat. Where failure to approve is based on an unsatisfied objection, the agency making the objection shall be made a party to the action. The court shall direct that the plat be approved if it finds that the action of the approving or objecting agency is arbitrary, unreasonable or discriminatory. [Ord. dated 3/6/12 § 133; Res. 00-04.
