Sec. 18-300.- Intent, scope and authority.

(a)

The purpose of these extraterritorial zoning (ETZ) regulations is to promote the public health, safety, morals, and general welfare, and to provide sound controls over land uses within the areas over which the governing body of the village has jurisdiction pursuant to Wis. Stats. § 62.23(7a). These ETZ regulations and the associated map have been approved by the Joint Extraterritorial Zoning Committee for the Town of Walworth and the Town of Linn, and all necessary public hearings have been held and all approving and recommending actions taken by the towns and the village, as called for by the Wisconsin Statutes.

(b)

The restrictions and requirements set forth in this section shall be deemed the minimum necessary to conserve the value of land and buildings and encourage the most appropriate use of land, to lessen congestion in the streets, secure safety from fire, panic, and other dangers, promote health and general welfare, provide adequate light and air, prevent overcrowding of land, avoid undue concentration of population, and facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewers, schools, parks, and other public requirements. Should the requirement of this section be found in conflict with any state statute, local ordinance, or regulation, or any existing easement, covenant, or agreement, or any permits previously issued pursuant to law applicable to the use of any land or structure in the area specified herein as the extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction limits, the more stringent law, ordinance, regulation, restriction, or requirement shall govern.

It is thus intended that this district recognize and attempt to balance man's need for shelter locations with his need to protect and restore the natural environment. Because of its residential character and smaller lot area minimum, farming and commercial recreation uses are not permitted.
