(a)
Zoning map. The boundaries of the districts enumerated in section 44-38 are established as shown on a map entitled "Zoning Map, Village, Wisconsin," as amended, which is adopted by reference and made a part hereof. The map shall bear upon its face the attestation of the village president and the village clerk-treasurer and shall be available to the public in the office of the village clerk-treasurer.
(b)
Boundary lines. The boundaries shall be construed to follow corporate limits; U.S. public land survey lines; lot or property lines; centerlines of streets, highways, alleys, easements and railroad rights-of-way; or such lines extended unless otherwise noted on the zoning map. When the district boundaries are not otherwise indicated and when the property has been or may hereafter be divided into blocks and lots, the district boundaries shall be construed to be lot lines and when the designations on the zoning map are approximately bounded by lot lines, such lot line shall be construed to be the boundary of the district.
(c)
Vacation. Vacation of public streets and alleys shall cause the land vacated to be automatically placed in the same district as the abutting side to which the vacated land reverts.
(d)
Annexations and consolidations. Annexations to or consolidations with the village subsequent to the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived shall be placed in the R-1 residential district unless the annexation ordinance temporarily placed the land in another district.
(e)
Rules for interpretation of zoning district boundaries.
(1)
Generally. When uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall apply:
a.
Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, highways or alleys shall be construed to follow such centerlines.
b.
Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.
c.
When district boundaries are so depicted that they approximately follow section lines, quarter section lines or other government survey lines; or that they approximately follow political subdivision lines such as county lines, town lines or corporate limits; such government survey lines or political subdivision lines shall be construed to be the boundaries.
d.
Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks.
e.
Boundaries indicated as following shorelines shall be construed to follow such shorelines and, in the event of change in the shoreline, shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline; boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streams, rivers, canals, lakes or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such centerlines.
f.
Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in the preceding shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the zoning map shall be determined by the scale of the map.
g.
When a district boundary line, as appearing on the zoning map, divided a lot in single ownership at the time of original enactment of this chapter, the district requirements for the least restricted portion of such lot shall be deemed to apply to the whole thereof, provided that such extension shall not include any part of such lot more than 35 feet beyond the district boundary lines.
(2)
Exceptions. As an exception to the district boundary interpretation, in subsection (e)(1) of this section, the A-3 Exclusive Agricultural District shall include all lands within the corporate limits of the village that are not otherwise assigned to a specific zoning district or dedicated as the right-of-way of a public road, street or alley. Also, when not defined by the above interpretation of district boundary lines and limits, the extent of the C-1 Conservancy District may be construed to be the floodplain or shoreland of a navigable body of water, or a 30-foot-wide strip of land along either side of the centerline of a natural, non-navigable waterway or drainageway.

(a)
Purpose.
(1)
The A-2 Agriculture Enterprise District is intended to preserve and promote a full range of agricultural uses, secure land for livestock production and other agricultural uses that may be more intensive than crop production, strengthen agriculture's contribution to the village's taxbase, support valued-added and other activities closely allied to the agriculture industry, and prevent the conversion of land identified as a valuable agricultural resource to uses that are not consistent with agriculture. The A-2 district's uses and regulations are intended to implement comprehensive plan goals by permitting livestock and other intensive agricultural uses in areas where conditions are best suited to these agricultural pursuits and discouraging residential development to avoid potential land use conflicts. Due to the more intensive nature of uses allowed, the A-2 district is not intended to be applied near moderately to densely populated areas, and it is not intended to accommodate residential uses as principal uses. The A-2 district is also intended to be compatible with any exclusive agricultural land use designation in the village comprehensive plan or pursuant to Wis. Stats. ch. 91.

(a)
Authority.
(1)
The village board has authority, to be liberally construed in favor of the village, under its general police powers set forth in Wis. Stats. ch. 61 to act for the good order of the municipality and for the health, morals, safety and welfare of the public; and may carry out its powers by regulation and suppression; and
(2)
The village board recognizes it lacks authority to regulate obscenity under Wis. Stats. § 66.0107(3) and does not intend by adopting this section to regulate obscenity, since nudity in and of itself is not obscene, it declares its intent to enact an ordinance addressing the secondary effects of live, totally nude, non-obscene, erotic dancing in bars and taverns; and
(3)
Adult establishments in other communities tended to further the increase of criminal and other offensive activity, to disrupt the peace and order of the communities, to depreciate the value of real property, to harm the economic welfare of the communities and to negatively affect the quality of life of the communities; and such secondary effects are detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare of citizens; and
(4)
The village board recognizes the U.S. Supreme Court has held that material with adult content is within the outer perimeters of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and therefore entitled to some limited protection under the First Amendment, and the governing body further recognizes that freedom of speech is among our most precious and highly protected rights, and wishes to act consistently with full protection of those rights; and
(5)
However, the village board is aware, based on the experiences of other communities, that adult establishments may and do generate secondary effects which the governing body believes are detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the village; and
(6)
Among these secondary effects are:
a.
The potential increase in prostitution and other sex-related offenses, as well as other crimes and offenses;
b.
The potential depreciation of property values in neighborhoods where adult establishments featuring nude dancing exist;
c.
Health risks associated with the spread of sexually transmitted diseases; and
d.
The potential for infiltration by organized crime for the purpose of unlawful conduct; and
(7)
The village board desires to minimize, prevent and control these adverse effects and thereby protect the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the village; protect the citizens from increased crime; preserve the quality of life; preserve the property values and character of surrounding neighborhoods; and deter the spread of urban blight; and
(8)
The village board has determined that the enactment of a zoning ordinance provision allowing adult establishments viable areas in which to exist within the village while keeping those adult establishments separated from each other, residential areas, schools, churches, day care centers, or bars or taverns, promotes the goal of minimizing, preventing and controlling the negative secondary effects associated with such adult establishments.
(b)
Purpose. The purpose of the AEO Adult Entertainment Overlay District is to create an overlay zoning district whereby adult establishments are sufficiently separated from each other and conflicting uses so as to ameliorate the negative secondary effects of adult uses while providing adult establishments sufficient area and opportunity to operate within the village so as not to suppress their existence.
(c)

(2)
Required application materials.
a.
All requests shall be in writing, whether on or in substantial compliance with forms to be provided by the village and may require an environmental assessment report prepared by a licensed environmental engineer. The report shall be forwarded to the administrative and development committee. Approval of a conditional use permit by the administrative and development committee shall require a majority vote of the total number of members of the administrative and development committee. (Example: If the administrative and development committee consists of six members, approval would require four affirmative votes regardless of the number of members present for a quorum.)
b.
The individual/facility shall reimburse the village or town for all consultant fees associated with the review at the invoiced amount, plus administrative costs.
c.
Any exemptions granted shall be conditional and may include required environmental and safety monitoring consistent with local, state and federal requirements, or bonds or securities satisfactory to the development committee.
(3)
Standards for conditional use. The administrative and development committee shall apply the following factors:
a.
The village's responsibility, as a public water supplier, to protect and preserve the health, safety and welfare of its citizens and also the town's responsibility to protect and preserve the health, safety and welfare of owners of private wells in the Groundwater Protection Overlay District.
b.
The degree to which the proposed land use practice, activity or facility may threaten or degrade groundwater quality in the Groundwater Protection Overlay District.

Bonds or securities satisfactory to the administrative and development committee for future monitoring and cleanup costs if groundwater contamination occurs in the future.
(5)
Transfers of interest in property. Conditional use permits issued under this section are nontransferable to successor owners of the property subject to the permit without the express written consent of the administrative and development committee. The administrative and development committee may set conditions and restrictions on the transfer, including, but not limited to, a stipulation that the permit shall not be transferred unless the new owner expressly and in writing assumes the same terms, if any, for personal liability as were required of the former owner in the conditional use permit to be transferred. Written permission shall be obtained prior to the voluntary transfer of the subject property. When an involuntary transfer occurs, the new owner, trustee, or other successor to an interest in the real property shall apply to the administrative and development committee within 60 days for permission to continue the use granted by the conditional use permit.
(6)
Payment of costs. The applicant shall be solely and exclusively responsible for all costs associated with the application. The conditional use will become effective only after any costs incurred by the village or town during the conditional use application review process and billed to the applicant are paid by the applicant.

(3)
To preserve in perpetuity unique or sensitive natural resources such as groundwater, floodplains, wetlands, streams, steep slopes, woodlands, and wildlife habitat.
(4)
To permit clustering of houses and structures on less environmentally sensitive soils, which will reduce the amount of infrastructure, including paved surfaces and utility easements, necessary for residential development.
(5)
To reduce erosion and sedimentation by minimizing land disturbance and removal of vegetation in residential development.
(6)
To promote interconnected greenways and corridors throughout the community and contiguous greenspace with adjacent jurisdictions.
(7)
To encourage interaction in the community by clustering houses and orienting them closer to the street, providing public gathering places, and encouraging use of parks and community facilities as focal points in the neighborhood.
(8)
To encourage street designs that reduce traffic speeds and reliance on main arteries.
(9)
To promote construction of convenient landscaped walking trails and bike paths both within the subdivision and connecting to surrounding areas, businesses, and facilities to reduce reliance on automobiles.

The boundaries of the districts enumerated in section 44-38 are established as shown on a map entitled "Zoning Map, Village, Wisconsin," as amended, which is adopted by reference and made a part hereof. The map shall bear upon its face the attestation of the village president and the village clerk-treasurer and shall be available to the public in the office of the village clerk-treasurer.
(b)
Boundary lines. The boundaries shall be construed to follow corporate limits; U.S. public land survey lines; lot or property lines; centerlines of streets, highways, alleys, easements and railroad rights-of-way; or such lines extended unless otherwise noted on the zoning map. When the district boundaries are not otherwise indicated and when the property has been or may hereafter be divided into blocks and lots, the district boundaries shall be construed to be lot lines and when the designations on the zoning map are approximately bounded by lot lines, such lot line shall be construed to be the boundary of the district.
(c)
Vacation. Vacation of public streets and alleys shall cause the land vacated to be automatically placed in the same district as the abutting side to which the vacated land reverts.
(d)
Annexations and consolidations. Annexations to or consolidations with the village subsequent to the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived shall be placed in the R-1 residential district unless the annexation ordinance temporarily placed the land in another district.
(e)
Rules for interpretation of zoning district boundaries.
(1)
Generally. When uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall apply:
a.
Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, highways or alleys shall be construed to follow such centerlines.
b.
Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.
c.
When district boundaries are so depicted that they approximately follow section lines, quarter section lines or other government survey lines; or that they approximately follow political subdivision lines such as county lines, town lines or corporate limits; such government survey lines or political subdivision lines shall be construed to be the boundaries.
d.
Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks.
e.
Boundaries indicated as following shorelines shall be construed to follow such shorelines and, in the event of change in the shoreline, shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline; boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streams, rivers, canals, lakes or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such centerlines.
f.
Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in the preceding shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the zoning map shall be determined by the scale of the map.
g.
When a district boundary line, as appearing on the zoning map, divided a lot in single ownership at the time of original enactment of this chapter, the district requirements for the least restricted portion of such lot shall be deemed to apply to the whole thereof, provided that such extension shall not include any part of such lot more than 35 feet beyond the district boundary lines.
(2)
Exceptions. As an exception to the district boundary interpretation, in subsection (e)(1) of this section, the A-3 Exclusive Agricultural District shall include all lands within the corporate limits of the village that are not otherwise assigned to a specific zoning district or dedicated as the right-of-way of a public road, street or alley. Also, when not defined by the above interpretation of district boundary lines and limits, the extent of the C-1 Conservancy District may be construed to be the floodplain or shoreland of a navigable body of water, or a 30-foot-wide strip of land along either side of the centerline of a natural, non-navigable waterway or drainageway.

Purpose.
(1)
The A-2 Agriculture Enterprise District is intended to preserve and promote a full range of agricultural uses, secure land for livestock production and other agricultural uses that may be more intensive than crop production, strengthen agriculture's contribution to the village's taxbase, support valued-added and other activities closely allied to the agriculture industry, and prevent the conversion of land identified as a valuable agricultural resource to uses that are not consistent with agriculture. The A-2 district's uses and regulations are intended to implement comprehensive plan goals by permitting livestock and other intensive agricultural uses in areas where conditions are best suited to these agricultural pursuits and discouraging residential development to avoid potential land use conflicts. Due to the more intensive nature of uses allowed, the A-2 district is not intended to be applied near moderately to densely populated areas, and it is not intended to accommodate residential uses as principal uses. The A-2 district is also intended to be compatible with any exclusive agricultural land use designation in the village comprehensive plan or pursuant to Wis. Stats. ch. 91.
(2)

(Code 1992, § 13-1-58)
(a)
Authority.
(1)
The village board has authority, to be liberally construed in favor of the village, under its general police powers set forth in Wis. Stats. ch. 61 to act for the good order of the municipality and for the health, morals, safety and welfare of the public; and may carry out its powers by regulation and suppression; and
(2)
The village board recognizes it lacks authority to regulate obscenity under Wis. Stats. § 66.0107(3) and does not intend by adopting this section to regulate obscenity, since nudity in and of itself is not obscene, it declares its intent to enact an ordinance addressing the secondary effects of live, totally nude, non-obscene, erotic dancing in bars and taverns; and
(3)
Adult establishments in other communities tended to further the increase of criminal and other offensive activity, to disrupt the peace and order of the communities, to depreciate the value of real property, to harm the economic welfare of the communities and to negatively affect the quality of life of the communities; and such secondary effects are detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare of citizens; and
(4)
The village board recognizes the U.S. Supreme Court has held that material with adult content is within the outer perimeters of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and therefore entitled to some limited protection under the First Amendment, and the governing body further recognizes that freedom of speech is among our most precious and highly protected rights, and wishes to act consistently with full protection of those rights; and
(5)
However, the village board is aware, based on the experiences of other communities, that adult establishments may and do generate secondary effects which the governing body believes are detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the village; and
(6)
Among these secondary effects are:
a.
The potential increase in prostitution and other sex-related offenses, as well as other crimes and offenses;
b.
The potential depreciation of property values in neighborhoods where adult establishments featuring nude dancing exist;
c.
Health risks associated with the spread of sexually transmitted diseases; and
d.
The potential for infiltration by organized crime for the purpose of unlawful conduct; and
(7)
The village board desires to minimize, prevent and control these adverse effects and thereby protect the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the village; protect the citizens from increased crime; preserve the quality of life; preserve the property values and character of surrounding neighborhoods; and deter the spread of urban blight; and
(8)
The village board has determined that the enactment of a zoning ordinance provision allowing adult establishments viable areas in which to exist within the village while keeping those adult establishments separated from each other, residential areas, schools, churches, day care centers, or bars or taverns, promotes the goal of minimizing, preventing and controlling the negative secondary effects associated with such adult establishments.
(b)
Purpose. The purpose of the AEO Adult Entertainment Overlay District is to create an overlay zoning district whereby adult establishments are sufficiently separated from each other and conflicting uses so as to ameliorate the negative secondary effects of adult uses while providing adult establishments sufficient area and opportunity to operate within the village so as not to suppress their existence.
(c)

(a)
Purposes. Conservation-by-design, or conservation subdivisions, may be approved in the village for the following reasons:
(1)
To provide for the preservation of greenspace as a nonstructural stormwater runoff and watershed protection measure.
(2)
To provide a residential zoning district that permits flexibility of design in order to promote environmentally sensitive and efficient uses of the land.
(3)
To preserve in perpetuity unique or sensitive natural resources such as groundwater, floodplains, wetlands, streams, steep slopes, woodlands, and wildlife habitat.
(4)
To permit clustering of houses and structures on less environmentally sensitive soils, which will reduce the amount of infrastructure, including paved surfaces and utility easements, necessary for residential development.
(5)
To reduce erosion and sedimentation by minimizing land disturbance and removal of vegetation in residential development.
(6)
To promote interconnected greenways and corridors throughout the community and contiguous greenspace with adjacent jurisdictions.
(7)
To encourage interaction in the community by clustering houses and orienting them closer to the street, providing public gathering places, and encouraging use of parks and community facilities as focal points in the neighborhood.
(8)
To encourage street designs that reduce traffic speeds and reliance on main arteries.
(9)
To promote construction of convenient landscaped walking trails and bike paths both within the subdivision and connecting to surrounding areas, businesses, and facilities to reduce reliance on automobiles.
(10)
To conserve scenic views and reduce perceived density by maximizing the number of houses with direct access to and view of open space.
(11)
To preserve important historic and archaeological sites.
(b)
Ownership of development site. The tract of land to be subdivided may be held in single and separate ownership or in multiple ownerships. If held in multiple ownerships, however, the site shall be developed according to a single plan with common authority and common responsibility.
(c)

Table 44-61. Conservation Subdivision Development Standards
(e)
Site analysis map required. Concurrent with the submission of a conceptual site plan, the applicant shall prepare and submit a site analysis map. The purpose of the site analysis map is to ensure that the important site features have been adequately identified prior to the creation of the site design, and that the proposed open space will meet the requirements of this chapter. The preliminary site plan shall include the following features:
(1)
Property boundaries and the planned location of protected open space.
(2)
All streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands and other hydrologic features; general vegetation characteristics; general soil types; and topographic contours of no less than two-foot intervals.

Existing roads and structures; and potential connections with existing greenspace and trails.
(f)
Open space management plan required. An open space management plan shall be prepared and submitted prior to the issuance of a land disturbance permit.
(g)
Instrument of permanent protection required. An instrument of permanent protection such as a conservation easement or permanent restrictive covenant shall be placed on the open space concurrent with the issuance of a land disturbance permit.
(h)
Other requirements. The application shall adhere to all other applicable requirements of the zoning district and this chapter.
(i)
Standards to determine open space.
(1)
The preserved open space shall include a minimum of 40 percent of the gross parcel area.
(2)
The following are considered primary conservation areas and shall be included within the open space, unless the applicant demonstrates that this provision would constitute an unusual hardship and be counter to the purposes of this chapter:
a.
The regulatory 100-year floodplain.
b.
Surface water buffer zones consistent with the county definition of ESAs.
c.
Slopes above 25 percent of at least 5,000 square feet contiguous area.
d.
Wetlands that meet the definition of that term used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the state department of natural resources.
e.
Populations of endangered or threatened species, or habitat for such species, and archaeological sites, cemeteries, and burial grounds.
f.
Important historic sites.
(3)
The following are considered secondary conservation areas and may be included within the open space area:
a.
Existing healthy, native forests of at least one acre contiguous area.
b.
Individual existing healthy trees greater than eight inches DBH (diameter at breast height).
c.
Other significant natural features such as ridge lines, peaks, and rock outcroppings, particularly those that can be seen from public roads.
d.
Prime agricultural lands of at least five acres contiguous area.
e.
Existing trails that connect the tract to neighboring areas.
f.
All other types of greenspace that have not necessarily been enumerated, but that do not conflict with areas specifically excluded.
(4)
Aboveground utility rights-of-way and small areas of impervious surface may be included within the protected open space but cannot be counted towards the 40 percent minimum area requirement. (Exception: historic structures and existing trails may be counted.) Large areas of impervious surface shall be excluded from the open space.
(5)
At least 50 percent of the open space shall be in a continuous tract. The open space should adjoin any neighboring areas of open space, other protected areas, and non-protected natural areas that would be candidates for inclusion as part of a future area of protected open space.
(6)
The open space shall be directly accessible to the largest practicable number of lots within the subdivision. Non-adjoining lots shall be provided with safe, convenient access to the open space.
(j)
Permitted uses of open space. Uses of open space may include the following:
(1)
Conservation of natural, archaeological or historical resources.
(2)
Meadows, woodlands, wetlands, wildlife corridors, game preserves, or similar conservation-oriented areas.
(3)
Walking or bicycle trails, provided they are constructed of porous paving materials.
(4)
Passive recreation areas.
(5)
Active recreation areas (e.g., playgrounds, playfields, hard courts, picnic areas, shelters, etc.), provided that they are limited to no more than ten percent of the total open space and are not located within primary conservation areas. Active recreation areas may include impervious surfaces. Active recreation areas in excess of this limit must be located outside of the protected open space.
(6)
Agriculture, horticulture, silviculture or pasture uses, provided that all applicable best management practices are used to minimize environmental impacts, and such activities are not conducted within primary conservation areas; nonstructural stormwater management practices; easements for drainage, access, and underground utility lines; or other conservation-oriented uses compatible with the purposes of this chapter.

(l)
Ownership and management of open space.
(1)
Ownership of open space. The applicant must identify the owner of the open space who is responsible for maintaining the open space and facilities located thereon. If a homeowners' association is the owner, membership in the association shall be mandatory and automatic for all homeowners of the subdivision and their successors. If a homeowners' association is the owner, the homeowners' association shall have lien authority to ensure the collection of dues from all members. The responsibility for maintaining the open space and any facilities located thereon shall be borne by the owner.
(2)
Management plan. The applicant shall submit a plan for management of open space and common facilities (plan) that:
a.
Allocates responsibility and guidelines for the maintenance and operation of the open space and any facilities located thereon, including provisions for ongoing maintenance and for long-term capital improvements.

Provides that any changes to the plan be approved by the Green Bay plan commission for enforcement of the plan.
(3)
Maintenance. In the event the party responsible for maintenance of the open space fails to maintain all or any portion in reasonable order and condition, the village may assume responsibility for its maintenance and may enter the premises and take corrective action, including the provision of extended maintenance. The costs of such maintenance may be charged to the owner, to the homeowners' association, or to the individual property owners that make up the homeowners' association, and may include administrative costs and penalties. Such costs shall become a lien on all subdivision properties.
(m)
Legal instrument for permanent protection. The open space shall be protected in perpetuity by a binding legal instrument that is recorded with the deed. The instrument for permanent protection shall include clear restrictions on the use of the open space. These restrictions shall include all restrictions contained in this section, as well as any further restrictions the applicant chooses to place on the use of the open space.
