Dedications and Reservations.
(1)
The subdivider who creates a major subdivision shall be required to pay a fee or dedicate suitable land for public parks or other related use according to the following schedule:
(a)
Dedication to the public of one acre of land for each 20 lots.
(b)
Payment to the town park fund of $250.00 for each lot.
(c)
Any combination of subsections (a) and (b) as agreed to by the town board.
If the town board elects not to require land or fees as provided above or does not have a designated park fund, said land shall be dedicated for County parks or fees paid to a County park fund, or combination thereof, as determined by the Planning and Zoning Department and County Parks Department.
(2)
A major subdivision which abuts a navigable water body shall provide public access to the high water mark at least 66 feet wide which is connected to existing public roads, at not more than one-half mile intervals as measured along the lake or stream shore except where greater intervals and wider access is agreed upon by the State Department of Natural Resources, the State Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection and the Planning and Zoning Committee. The Planning and Zoning Committee may require dedications of access points of greater width or at more frequent intervals at points designated by them and may require adequate turnaround areas where deemed necessary.
In addition, when a county plat or minor subdivision abuts a navigable water body, the Planning and Zoning Committee may require reservation of access points to the water to allow for future public purchase, where a need has been determined in town or county plans or by such officials and based on consideration of relevant factors such as the size and layout of the proposed subdivision, the physical character of the shoreline and its suitability for public access, and the proximity and use of existing public access points.
(3)
The lands lying between the meander line, established in accordance with Wis. Stats. § 236.20(2)(g), and the water's edge, and any otherwise unpalatable lands which lie between a proposed subdivision and the water's edge shall be included as part of lots, outlots or public dedications in any plat abutting a lake or stream. This requirement applies not only to lands proposed to be subdivided, but also to all land under option to the subdivider or in which he holds any interest and which are contiguous to the lands proposed to be subdivided and which abut a lake or stream, as provided in Wis. Stats. § 236.16(4).
(4)
Where a preexisting, official plan of the county or any municipality of the county calls for a public development, the subdivider shall reserve said land with no building development for acquisition by the county or the municipality in which the land is located, for a period of three years, unless this period is extended by mutual agreement which shall be in the form of a written contact.
