B. 
The following rules shall apply with respect to the boundaries of the various districts as shown on the Zoning District Map.
(1) 
A boundary shown as following, or approximately following, a street, alley or railroad shall be construed as following the center line of such feature.
(2) 
A boundary line shown as following, or approximately following, a lot line, section line, survey or other property line, or municipal boundary shall be construed as following such line or boundary.
(3) 
Streets or alleys which are shown on the zoning district maps and which were previously vacated, or which may be vacated in the future, shall be construed to be in the same zoning district as the lots, pieces or lots abutting both sides of the street or alley involved. If the lots, pieces or lots abutting each side of the street or alley were located in different zoning districts before the said street or alley was vacated, the center line of such vacated street or alley shall be the boundary line of the respective zoning districts.
(4) 
The boundaries of a base zoning district shall correspond with the boundaries of a legal lot. No unsubdivided property shall possess more than one base zone.

All portion of the lots are rezoned to a single zone classification.
(b) 
A land division is approved to establish separate legal lots coinciding with the boundaries of the zone classifications as they appear on the Zoning Map.

Build-to line.
(1) 
For the purposes of this section, a build-to line is defined as the line at which construction of a building facade is to occur on a lot. A build-to line runs parallel to the front property line and is established to create an even (or more or less even) building facade line on a street. The build-to line is considered a front setback.
(2) 
The intent of the build-to line is to pull the building facade close to the street and sidewalk. By doing so, building facades along a block face shall be aligned to form a street edge that frames the public realm while retaining sufficient width for people to walk.
(3) 
If the primary building does not traverse the entire width of the lot, the balance of the build-to line shall include features such as elevated landscape planters, hedges, or decorative fences, with the exception of points of access, as approved by the Zoning Administrator.
(4) 
Attempts shall be made by the designer to minimize portions of the building that recede from the build-to line except where the recessions are intended to provide an articulated facade.
(5) 
For corner and through lots, the build-to line shall apply on all frontages, provided that the required corner setbacks are maintained.
(6) 
Unless prevented by safety considerations or physical limitations related to the site, as determined by the Zoning Administrator, the primary pedestrian entrance to the main building shall be along the build-to line front wall. The entrance shall be clearly identified.
(7) 
Build-to lines are established as follows:
(a) 
West side of North Wall Street from Main Street to East Pine Street: six feet.
(b) 
East side of North Wall Street from Main Street to East Pine Street: 10 feet.
(c) 
North side of Main Street from Wall Street to Green Bay Road: zero feet.
(d) 
South side of Main Street from Wall Street to Green Bay Road: zero feet.

§ 315-66 PDD Planned Development District.

(Hereafter, PDD)
A. 
Purpose.
(1) 
The purpose of the PDD is to encourage and provide a means for creating desirable and quality development by permitting greater flexibility and design freedom than permitted under the basic zoning district regulations. These regulations are established to permit latitude in the development of the building sites if such development is found to be in accordance with the purpose, spirit, and intent of this chapter and the Village of Denmark Comprehensive Plan and is found not to be hazardous, harmful, offensive or otherwise adverse to the environment, property values, or the character of the neighborhood or the health, safety, and welfare of the Village of Denmark.
(2) 
It is intended to permit and encourage diversification, variation, and imagination in the relationship of uses, landscaping, design, structures, open spaces, lot sizes, and heights of structures for developments conceived and implemented as comprehensive and cohesive unified projects. It is further intended to encourage more rational and economic development with relationship to public services and to encourage and facilitate the preservation of open space and other natural features such as woodlands, floodplains, and wetlands by incorporating these features into the overall development.
B. 
Application.
(1) 
This section shall serve as an option in addition to the permitted uses and regulations applicable to all zoning districts in the Village and shall apply only to those lands which are hereby and may hereafter be zoned PDD by the Village Board. Existing zoning shall continue in full force and effect and shall be solely applicable until such time as the Village Board grants final approval for the PDD.
(2) 
All required improvements, construction standards, engineering standards, and all other applicable standards contained within the Village of Denmark Code of Ordinances shall be complied with, except where specifically varied through the provisions of this chapter.
C. 
Minimum size of PDD. No district shall be established unless it contains the minimum area specified in this section and has at least 200 feet of frontage or Village-approved private road access. The minimum gross area required for a PDD is as follows:
(1) 
Two acres where the PDD is placed upon base residential districts.
(2) 
One acre where the PDD is placed upon base commercial or industrial districts.
D. 
Uses permitted.
(1) 
Basic zoning uses. The following uses are permitted in a PDD upon obtaining all necessary approvals required under this section when determined by the Plan Commission to be compatible with other existing and/or proposed uses on-site:
(a) 
All principal, accessory, and conditional uses permitted under the basic zoning regulations applicable to the zoning district in which the particular property is located.
(b) 
Conservation subdivision plats shall have a minimum of 50% open space, of which at least 25% must be outside of environmentally sensitive areas. Stormwater management facilities and other public facilities may be located within the 25% of land outside of environmentally sensitive areas.
(c) 
A mixture of residential types and recreational, commercial, and institutional uses may be developed to serve the residents of the PDD and/or residents of the surrounding area. Also, parking, signage, and any additional use restrictions for the uses shall be addressed in the ordinance that authorizes and establishes the proposed PDD development.
(2) 
Building restrictions. Requirements for building height, size and floor area, lot size, setbacks (front, side, rear and corner side), density, and open space shall be delineated in the preliminary and final development plans and the ordinance adopted that authorizes and establishes the proposed PDD. In no case shall these requirements be less than stated in other subsections of this section, and they shall be found to not be hazardous, harmful, offensive, or otherwise adverse to the environment, property values, or the character of the proposed development, surrounding neighborhood or community, or adverse to the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the PDD and/or community as a whole. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the final development plan does not address a specific zoning requirement (the non-addressed requirement), the provisions of the Village of Denmark Zoning Ordinance shall apply to the development plan to the extent of the non-addressed requirements.
E. 
General provisions.
(1) 
Engineering design standards. The width of rights-of-way, width and location of streets, sidewalks, or other paving requirements, outdoor lighting types and locations, public sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and water lines, provision for stormwater retention and drainage, and other similar environmental engineering considerations shall be based upon a determination as to the appropriate standards necessary to perform the specific function in the specific situation; provided, however, that in no case shall construction standards be less than necessary to ensure the public safety and welfare. The Village reserves the right to have the Village's Engineer review all engineering aspects of the development at cost to the developer.
(2) 
Approvals. The applicant shall develop the site in accordance with the terms and conditions of development presented to and approved by the Village Board. Any changes or additions to the original approved development site, structures, or plans of operation shall require resubmittal and recommendation by the Plan Commission and approval by the Village Board.
(3) 
Rescinding approval. Failure to comply with the conditions, commitments, guarantees, or recommendations established in the approval of such development project shall be cause for rescinding the approval of the same. Upon notice given by the Village Clerk, the applicant or agent then shall be required to appear before the Village Board at its next public meeting to explain any such failure to comply. The Village Board, at such hearing, shall determine whether or not the developer has failed to comply, and if there has been such a failure, may either:
(a) 
Rescind its approval, whereupon such rescission and cessation of all rights and privileges of the developer and owner, including the right to complete construction or to construct any building or other structure or improvement, shall become effective on the 31st day following a written notice of such decision sent by certified mail to the developer at his or her last known address; or
(b) 
Adjourn such hearing for a period not to exceed 65 days to enable the developer to comply, whereupon, if the developer is then in substantial compliance and has then established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board that there will be compliance in the future, the rights and privileges of the developer and owner shall continue for such period of time that there is such compliance. If the developer has not established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Village Board that there will be compliance in the future, the Board will proceed in accordance with Subsection E(3)(a), above.
F. 
Criteria for approval. As a basis for determining the acceptability of a PDD proposal, the following criteria shall be applied to the development proposal, with specific considerations as to whether or not it is consistent with the spirit and intent of this chapter and the Village of Denmark Comprehensive Plan:
(1) 
Character and intensity of land use. The uses proposed and their intensity and arrangement on the site shall be a visual, aesthetic, and operational character which:
(a) 
Is compatible to the physical nature of the site, with particular concern for preservation of woodlands, open space, or other environmentally sensitive areas.
(b) 
Would produce an attractive environment of sustained aesthetic and ecologic desirability, economic stability, and functional practicality compatible with the general development plans for the community.
(c) 
Would not adversely affect the anticipated provision for school, sewer, water, snow removal, garbage pickup, fire protection, or other municipal services.
(d) 
Would provide sufficient and accessible off-street parking and loading facilities. Creativity in addressing the provision of parking is encouraged. Alternate parking arrangements may be used, such as exterior or interior satellite parking lots, provision of mass transportation, etc., to provide adequate parking within the requirements of this section.
(e) 
Would be developed in a manner that encourages alternative means of transportation through the provision of sidewalks and/or off-street trails and a well-connected street pattern.
(2) 
Preservation and maintenance of open space. Adequate provisions shall be made for the permanent preservation and maintenance of common open space and rights-of-way either by private reservation or dedication to the public.
(a) 
Any identified reserved open space within a planned development shall first be offered to the Village for conveyance and dedication for public open space.
(b) 
In the case of private reservation, the open area to be reserved shall be protected against building development by conveying an open space easement to the Village over such open areas as part of the conditions for project approval. This easement shall restrict the areas from any further building or use except as specifically authorized as part of the development plan.
(c) 
Proposed new construction or additions outside of the existing footprint of agricultural-related buildings shall require obtaining an amendment to the PDD. Agricultural-related buildings shall not be interpreted to mean new residential, commercial, or industrial buildings.
(d) 
In the case of roadways, other rights-of-way, and stormwater management facilities which are not dedicated to the public, as part of the conditions for project approval, there shall be granted to the Village such easements over the same as may be necessary to enable the Village to provide suitable and adequate fire protection, police protection, emergency services, sanitary and storm sewer, water, maintenance, recreational trail connections, and other required municipal services to the project area.
(e) 
The construction, care, and maintenance of such open space reservations, stormwater management facilities, and rights-of-way shall be assured either by establishment of an appropriate management organization for the project or acceptance of dedication to the Village. In any case, the Village shall have the right to carry out and levy an assessment for the cost of any maintenance that it feels necessary if it is not otherwise taken care of to the satisfaction of the Village. The manner of assuring maintenance and assessing such cost to individual properties shall be determined prior to the approval of the final project plans and shall be included in the title of each property. The developer shall submit a landscape maintenance schedule and stormwater management plan with the final plan for approval by the Village that satisfies the above requirements.
(f) 
Ownership, maintenance, construction, and tax liability of private open space reservations and rights-of-way shall be established in a manner acceptable to the Village and made a part of the conditions of plan approval.
(3) 
Implementation schedule. The petitioners for a PDD shall submit a reasonable schedule for implementation of the development to the satisfaction of the Plan Commission and the Village Board, including suitable provisions for assurance that each phase could and should be brought to completion in a manner which shall not result in adverse effect upon the community as a result of termination at the end of any phase.
