General provisions.
(a)
Statutory authorization. This section is adopted pursuant to the authorization in Wis. Stats. §§ 61.35 and 62.23, for villages, and the requirements in Wis. Stats. § 87.30.
(b)
Finding of fact. Uncontrolled development and use of the floodplains and rivers of this municipality would impair the public health, safety, convenience, general welfare and tax base.
(c)
Statement of purpose. This section is intended to regulate floodplain development to:
1.
Protect life, health and property;
2.
Minimize expenditures of public funds for flood control projects;
3.
Minimize rescue and relief efforts undertaken at the expense of the taxpayers;
4.
Minimize business interruptions and other economic disruptions;
5.
Minimize damage to public facilities in the floodplain;
6.
Minimize the occurrence of future flood blight areas in the floodplain;
7.
Discourage the victimization of unwary land and homebuyers;
8.
Prevent increases in flood heights that could increase flood damage and result in conflicts between property owners; and
9.
Discourage development in a floodplain if there is any practicable alternative to locate the activity, use or structure outside of the floodplain.
(d)
Title. This section shall be known as the Floodplain Zoning Ordinance for the Village of Lannon, Wisconsin.
(e)
General regulations.
1.
Areas to be regulated. This section regulates all areas that would be covered by the regional flood or base flood.
2.
Official maps and revisions. The boundaries of all floodplain districts are designated as floodplains or A-Zones on the maps listed below and the revisions in the Village of Lannon Floodplain Appendix.
Any change to the base flood elevations (BFE) in the flood insurance study (FIS) or on the flood insurance rate map (FIRM) must be reviewed and approved by the DNR and FEMA before it is effective.
No changes to regional flood elevations (RFE's) on non-FEMA maps shall be effective until approved by the DNR. These maps and revisions are on file in the office of the village clerk, Village of Lannon. If more than one map or revision is referenced, the most restrictive information shall apply.
a.
Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), panel number 55133C0091F, 55133C0092F, 55133C0093F, and 55133C0094F, dated November 19, 2008; with corresponding profiles that are based on the Waukesha County Flood Insurance Study (FIS) dated November 19, 2008, Volumes 55133CV001A - 003A;
3.
Establishment of districts. The regional floodplain areas are divided into three districts as follows:
a.
The Floodway Overlay District (FWO) is the channel of a river or stream and those portions of the floodplain adjoining the channel required to carry the regional floodwaters.
b.
The Floodfringe Overlay District (FFO) is that portion of the floodplain between the regional flood limits and the floodway.
c.
The Floodplain Conservancy Overlay District (FCO) is intended to preserve in essentially open space and natural uses lands which are unsuitable for intensive urban development purposes due to poor natural soil conditions and periodic flood inundations.
4.
Locating floodplain boundaries. Discrepancies between boundaries on the official floodplain zoning map and actual field conditions shall be resolved using the criteria in subsections a. or b. below. If a significant difference exists, the map shall be amended according to subsection 78-95(8). The zoning administrator can rely on a boundary derived from a profile elevation to grant or deny a land use permit, whether or not a map amendment is required. The zoning administrator shall be responsible for documenting actual pre-development field conditions and the basis upon which the district boundary was determined and for initiating any map amendments required under this section. Disputes between the zoning administrator and an applicant over the district boundary line shall be settled according to subsection (7)(d) using the criteria in a. and b. below.
a.
If flood profiles exist, the map scale and the profile elevations shall determine the district boundary. The regional or base flood elevations shall govern if there are any discrepancies.
b.
Where flood profiles do not exist, the location of the boundary shall be determined by the map scale, visual on-site inspection and any information provided by the department.
5.
Removal of lands from floodplain. Compliance with the provisions of this section shall not be grounds for removing land from the floodplain unless it is filled at least two feet above the regional or base flood elevation, the fill is contiguous to land outside the floodplain, and the map is amended pursuant subsection 78-95(8). To remove flood insurance requirements, FEMA must first revise the flood insurance rate map or issue a letter of map amendment or revision.
6.
Compliance. Any development or use within the areas regulated by this section shall be in compliance with the terms of this section, and other applicable local, state, and federal regulations.
7.
Municipalities and state agencies regulated. Unless specifically exempted by law the Village of Lannon is required to comply with this section and obtain all necessary permits. State agencies are required to comply if Wis. Stats. § 13.48(13), applies. The construction, reconstruction, maintenance and repair of state highways and bridges by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation is exempt when Wis. Stats. § 30.2022, applies.
8.
Abrogation and greater restrictions.
a.
This section supersedes all the provisions of any municipal zoning ordinance enacted under Wis. Stats. §§ 59.69, 59.692 or 59.694 for counties; Wis. Stats. § 62.23 for cities; Wis. Stats. § 61.35 for villages; or Wis. Stats. § 87.30, which relate to floodplains. If another ordinance is more restrictive than this section, that ordinance shall continue in full force and effect to the extent of the greater restrictions, but not otherwise.
b.
This section is not intended to repeal, abrogate or impair any existing deed restrictions, covenants or easements. If this section imposes greater restrictions, the provisions of this section shall prevail.
9.
Interpretation. In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this section are the minimum requirements liberally construed in favor of the governing body and are not a limitation on or repeal of any other powers granted by the Wisconsin Statutes. If a provision of this section, required by ch. NR 116, Wis. Adm. Code, is unclear, the provision shall be interpreted in light of the standards in effect on the date of the adoption of this section or in effect on the date of the most recent text amendment to this section.
10.
Warning and disclaimer of liability. The flood protection standards in this section are based on engineering experience and scientific research. Larger floods may occur or the flood height may be increased by manmade or natural causes. This section does not imply or guarantee that non-floodplain areas or permitted floodplain uses will be free from flooding and flood damages. Nor does this section create liability on the part of, or a cause of action against, the municipality or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damage that may result from reliance on this section.
11.
Severability. Should any portion of this section be declared unconstitutional or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this section shall not be affected.
12.
Annexed areas for cities and villages. The Waukesha County floodplain zoning provisions in effect on the date of annexation shall remain in effect and shall be enforced by the village for all annexed areas until the village adopts and enforces an ordinance which meets the requirements of ch. NR 116, Wis. Adm. Code and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). These annexed lands are described on the village's official zoning map.

(3)
Finding of fact and purpose of article. Uncontrolled use of the shoreland-wetlands and pollution of the navigable waters of the municipality would adversely affect the public health, safety, convenience, and general welfare and impair the tax base. The state legislature has delegated responsibility to all municipalities to:
(a)
Promote the public health, safety, convenience and general welfare;
(b)
Maintain the stormwater and floodwater storage capacity of wetlands;
(c)
Prevent and control water pollution by preserving wetlands which filter or store sediments, nutrients, heavy metals or organic compounds that would otherwise drain into navigable waters;
(d)
Protect fish, their spawning grounds, other aquatic life and wildlife by preserving wetlands and other aquatic habitat;
(e)
Prohibit certain uses detrimental to the shoreland-wetland area; and
(f)
Preserve shore cover and natural beauty by restricting the removal of natural shoreland cover and controlling shoreland-wetland excavation, filling and other earth-moving activities.
(4)
Compliance with article. The use of wetlands and the alteration of wetlands within the shoreland area of the village shall be in full compliance with the terms of this article and other applicable local, state or federal regulations. (However, see section 78-53, for the standards applicable to nonconforming uses.) All permitted development shall require the issuance of a zoning permit unless otherwise expressly excluded by a provision of this article.
(5)
Municipalities and state agencies regulated. Unless specifically exempted by law, all cities, villages, towns, and counties are required to comply with this article and obtain all necessary permits. State agencies are required to comply if Wis. Stats. § 13.48(13) applies. The construction, reconstruction, maintenance and repair of state highways and bridges by the state department of transportation are exempt when Wis. Stats. § 30.12(4)(a) applies.
(6)
Abrogation and greater restrictions.
(a)
This article supersedes all the provisions of any municipal zoning ordinance enacted under Wis. Stats. §§ 61.35, 62.23 or 87.30, which relate to floodplains and shoreland-wetlands, except that where another municipal zoning ordinance is more restrictive than this article, that ordinance shall continue in full force and effect to the extent of the greater restrictions, but not otherwise.
(b)
This article is not intended to repeal, abrogate or impair any existing deed restrictions, covenants or easements. However, where this article imposes greater restrictions, the provisions of this article shall prevail.
(7)
Interpretation of article. In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this article shall be held to be minimum requirements and shall be liberally construed in favor of the village and shall not be deemed a limitation or repeal of any other powers granted by the state statutes. Where a provision of this article is required by a standard in chapter NR 117, Wis. Adm. Code, and where the chapter provision is unclear, the provision shall be interpreted in light of the chapter NR 117 standards in effect on September 11, 1995 or in effect on the date of the most recent text amendment to this article.
(8)
Annexed areas. The county shoreland zoning provisions in effect on the date of annexation remain in effect administered by the village for all areas annexed by the village after May 7, 1982, unless any of the changes as allowed by Wis. Stats. § 59.971(7)(a)(1—3) occurs. These annexed lands are described on the municipality's official zoning map. The county shoreland zoning provisions are incorporated by reference for the purpose of administering this article and are on file in the office of the village zoning administrator.
(9)
Enforcement; penalty for violation of article. Any development, building or structure or accessory building or structure constructed, altered, added to, modified, rebuilt or replaced or any use or accessory use established after the effective date of this article in violation of the provisions of the ordinance from which this article derived, by any person, firm, association, corporation (including building contractors or their agents) shall be deemed a violation. The zoning administrator or any member of the Village of Lannon Police Department under the direction of the chief of police shall refer violations to the plan commission and/or the municipal attorney who shall prosecute such violations. Any person who violates or refuses to comply with any of the provisions of this article shall be subject to a forfeiture of not less than $100.00 nor more than $500.00 per offense, together with the taxable costs of such action. Each day of continued violation shall constitute a separate offense. Every violation of this article is a public nuisance and the creation thereof may be enjoined and the maintenance thereof may be abated by action at suit of the village, the state, or any citizen thereof pursuant to Wis. Stats. § 87.30(2).

4.
The following criteria shall be considered by the village board of trustees in determining whether to approve an enhanced density:
a.
Whether the project will provide better utilization of the land and better preservation of natural resources than would otherwise be realized if the site were developed either in conformity with the density requirements of the underlying district or as a PUD District without an enhanced density;
b.
Whether the project makes adequate provision such that an increase in residential density will not have an unreasonable adverse effect on neighboring properties, existing and/or proposed public rights-of-way and/or municipal and other public services as a result of the type, intensity and frequency of the use(s) associated with the proposed project;
c.
Whether the structures proposed for the project are harmonious with existing surrounding structures and land uses;
d.
Whether building materials have been selected and are proposed to be utilized in a manner that is harmonious with the natural environment and the general character of other buildings and structures in the vicinity of the proposed development;

(Ord. of 12-13-00, § 1; Ord. of 8-8-05, § 1, 2)
(1)
General provisions.
(a)
Statutory authorization. This section is adopted pursuant to the authorization in Wis. Stats. §§ 61.35 and 62.23, for villages, and the requirements in Wis. Stats. § 87.30.
(b)
Finding of fact. Uncontrolled development and use of the floodplains and rivers of this municipality would impair the public health, safety, convenience, general welfare and tax base.
(c)
Statement of purpose. This section is intended to regulate floodplain development to:
1.
Protect life, health and property;
2.
Minimize expenditures of public funds for flood control projects;
3.
Minimize rescue and relief efforts undertaken at the expense of the taxpayers;
4.
Minimize business interruptions and other economic disruptions;
5.
Minimize damage to public facilities in the floodplain;
6.
Minimize the occurrence of future flood blight areas in the floodplain;
7.
Discourage the victimization of unwary land and homebuyers;
8.
Prevent increases in flood heights that could increase flood damage and result in conflicts between property owners; and
9.
Discourage development in a floodplain if there is any practicable alternative to locate the activity, use or structure outside of the floodplain.
(d)
Title. This section shall be known as the Floodplain Zoning Ordinance for the Village of Lannon, Wisconsin.
(e)
General regulations.
1.
Areas to be regulated. This section regulates all areas that would be covered by the regional flood or base flood.
2.
Official maps and revisions. The boundaries of all floodplain districts are designated as floodplains or A-Zones on the maps listed below and the revisions in the Village of Lannon Floodplain Appendix.
Any change to the base flood elevations (BFE) in the flood insurance study (FIS) or on the flood insurance rate map (FIRM) must be reviewed and approved by the DNR and FEMA before it is effective.
No changes to regional flood elevations (RFE's) on non-FEMA maps shall be effective until approved by the DNR. These maps and revisions are on file in the office of the village clerk, Village of Lannon. If more than one map or revision is referenced, the most restrictive information shall apply.
a.
Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), panel number 55133C0091F, 55133C0092F, 55133C0093F, and 55133C0094F, dated November 19, 2008; with corresponding profiles that are based on the Waukesha County Flood Insurance Study (FIS) dated November 19, 2008, Volumes 55133CV001A - 003A;
3.
Establishment of districts. The regional floodplain areas are divided into three districts as follows:
a.
The Floodway Overlay District (FWO) is the channel of a river or stream and those portions of the floodplain adjoining the channel required to carry the regional floodwaters.
b.
The Floodfringe Overlay District (FFO) is that portion of the floodplain between the regional flood limits and the floodway.
c.
The Floodplain Conservancy Overlay District (FCO) is intended to preserve in essentially open space and natural uses lands which are unsuitable for intensive urban development purposes due to poor natural soil conditions and periodic flood inundations.
4.
Locating floodplain boundaries. Discrepancies between boundaries on the official floodplain zoning map and actual field conditions shall be resolved using the criteria in subsections a. or b. below. If a significant difference exists, the map shall be amended according to subsection 78-95(8). The zoning administrator can rely on a boundary derived from a profile elevation to grant or deny a land use permit, whether or not a map amendment is required. The zoning administrator shall be responsible for documenting actual pre-development field conditions and the basis upon which the district boundary was determined and for initiating any map amendments required under this section. Disputes between the zoning administrator and an applicant over the district boundary line shall be settled according to subsection (7)(d) using the criteria in a. and b. below.
a.
If flood profiles exist, the map scale and the profile elevations shall determine the district boundary. The regional or base flood elevations shall govern if there are any discrepancies.
b.
Where flood profiles do not exist, the location of the boundary shall be determined by the map scale, visual on-site inspection and any information provided by the department.
5.
Removal of lands from floodplain. Compliance with the provisions of this section shall not be grounds for removing land from the floodplain unless it is filled at least two feet above the regional or base flood elevation, the fill is contiguous to land outside the floodplain, and the map is amended pursuant subsection 78-95(8). To remove flood insurance requirements, FEMA must first revise the flood insurance rate map or issue a letter of map amendment or revision.
6.
Compliance. Any development or use within the areas regulated by this section shall be in compliance with the terms of this section, and other applicable local, state, and federal regulations.
7.
Municipalities and state agencies regulated. Unless specifically exempted by law the Village of Lannon is required to comply with this section and obtain all necessary permits. State agencies are required to comply if Wis. Stats. § 13.48(13), applies. The construction, reconstruction, maintenance and repair of state highways and bridges by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation is exempt when Wis. Stats. § 30.2022, applies.
8.
Abrogation and greater restrictions.
a.
This section supersedes all the provisions of any municipal zoning ordinance enacted under Wis. Stats. §§ 59.69, 59.692 or 59.694 for counties; Wis. Stats. § 62.23 for cities; Wis. Stats. § 61.35 for villages; or Wis. Stats. § 87.30, which relate to floodplains. If another ordinance is more restrictive than this section, that ordinance shall continue in full force and effect to the extent of the greater restrictions, but not otherwise.
b.
This section is not intended to repeal, abrogate or impair any existing deed restrictions, covenants or easements. If this section imposes greater restrictions, the provisions of this section shall prevail.
9.
Interpretation. In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this section are the minimum requirements liberally construed in favor of the governing body and are not a limitation on or repeal of any other powers granted by the Wisconsin Statutes. If a provision of this section, required by ch. NR 116, Wis. Adm. Code, is unclear, the provision shall be interpreted in light of the standards in effect on the date of the adoption of this section or in effect on the date of the most recent text amendment to this section.
10.
Warning and disclaimer of liability. The flood protection standards in this section are based on engineering experience and scientific research. Larger floods may occur or the flood height may be increased by manmade or natural causes. This section does not imply or guarantee that non-floodplain areas or permitted floodplain uses will be free from flooding and flood damages. Nor does this section create liability on the part of, or a cause of action against, the municipality or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damage that may result from reliance on this section.
11.
Severability. Should any portion of this section be declared unconstitutional or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this section shall not be affected.
12.
Annexed areas for cities and villages. The Waukesha County floodplain zoning provisions in effect on the date of annexation shall remain in effect and shall be enforced by the village for all annexed areas until the village adopts and enforces an ordinance which meets the requirements of ch. NR 116, Wis. Adm. Code and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). These annexed lands are described on the village's official zoning map. County floodplain zoning provisions are incorporated by reference for the purpose of administering this section and are on file in the office of the municipal zoning administrator. All plats or maps of annexation shall show the regional flood elevation and the location of the floodway.
13.
General development standards. The Village of Lannon shall review all permit applications to determine whether proposed building sites will be reasonably safe from flooding. If a proposed building site is in a flood-prone area, all new construction and substantial improvements shall be designed or modified and adequately anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement of the structure resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads; be constructed with materials resistant to flood damage; be constructed by methods and practices that minimize flood damages; and be constructed with electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, and air conditioning equipment and other service facilities designed and/or located so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding. Subdivisions shall be reviewed for compliance with the above standards. All subdivision proposals (including manufactured home parks) shall include regional flood elevation and floodway data for any development that meets the subdivision definition of this section.

Nonconforming uses.
(a)
General.
1.
Applicability. If these standards conform with Wis. Stats. § 59.69(10), for counties or Wis. Stats. § 62.23(7)(h), for cities and villages, they shall apply to all modifications or additions to any nonconforming use or structure and to the use of any structure or premises which was lawful before the passage of this section or any amendment thereto.
Nothing in this article shall be construed to abrogate the requirements for nonconforming uses, structures, and lots set forth in Section 78 of the Village of Lannon Code of Ordinances.
2.
The existing lawful use of a structure or its accessory use which is not in conformity with the provisions of this section may continue subject to the following conditions:
a.
No modifications or additions to a nonconforming use or structure shall be permitted unless they comply with this section. The words "modification" and "addition" include, but are not limited to, any alteration, addition, modification, structural repair, rebuilding or replacement of any such existing use, structure or accessory structure or use. Ordinary maintenance repairs are not considered an extension, modification or addition; these include painting, decorating, paneling and the replacement of doors, windows and other nonstructural components and the maintenance, repair or replacement of existing private sewage or water supply systems or connections to public utilities. Ordinary maintenance repairs do not include any costs associated with the repair of a damaged structure.
For purpose of this article, the construction of a deck that does not exceed 200 square feet and that is adjacent to the exterior wall of a principal structure is not an extension, modification or addition. The roof of the structure may extend over a portion of the deck in order to provide safe ingress and egress to the principal structure.
b.
If a nonconforming use or the use of a nonconforming structure is discontinued for 12 consecutive months, it is no longer permitted and any future use of the property, and any structure or building thereon, shall conform to the applicable requirements of this section and all municipal ordinances;
c.
The municipality shall keep a record which lists all nonconforming uses and nonconforming structures, their present equalized assessed value, the cost of all modifications or additions which have been permitted, and the percentage of the structure's total current value those modifications represent;
d.
No modification or addition to any nonconforming structure or any structure with a nonconforming use, which over the life of the structure would exceed 50 percent of its present equalized assessed value, shall be allowed unless the entire structure is permanently changed to a conforming structure with a conforming use in compliance with the applicable requirements of this section. Contiguous dry land access must be provided for residential and commercial uses in compliance with subsection 78-95(4)(c). The costs of elevating a nonconforming building or a building with a nonconforming use to the flood protection elevation are excluded from the 50 percent provisions of this subsection;
e.
Except as otherwise provided by statute or ordinance, if any nonconforming structure or any structure with a nonconforming use is destroyed or is substantially damaged, it cannot be replaced, reconstructed or rebuilt unless the use and the structure meet the current ordinance requirements. A structure is considered substantially damaged if the total cost to restore the structure to its pre-damaged condition equals or exceeds 50 percent of the structure's present equalized assessed value.
For nonconforming buildings that are damaged or destroyed by a nonflood disaster, the repair or reconstruction of any such nonconforming building may be permitted in order to restore it after the nonflood disaster, provided that the nonconforming building will meet all of the minimum requirements under applicable FEMA regulations (44 CFR Part 60), or the regulations promulgated thereunder.
f.
A nonconforming historic structure may be altered if the alteration will not preclude the structures continued designation as a historic structure, the alteration will comply with subsection 78-95(3)(c)1., flood-resistant materials are used, and construction practices and floodproofing methods that comply with subsection 78-95(7)(f) are used.

Finding of fact and purpose of article. Uncontrolled use of the shoreland-wetlands and pollution of the navigable waters of the municipality would adversely affect the public health, safety, convenience, and general welfare and impair the tax base. The state legislature has delegated responsibility to all municipalities to:
(a)
Promote the public health, safety, convenience and general welfare;
(b)
Maintain the stormwater and floodwater storage capacity of wetlands;
(c)
Prevent and control water pollution by preserving wetlands which filter or store sediments, nutrients, heavy metals or organic compounds that would otherwise drain into navigable waters;
(d)
Protect fish, their spawning grounds, other aquatic life and wildlife by preserving wetlands and other aquatic habitat;
(e)
Prohibit certain uses detrimental to the shoreland-wetland area; and
(f)
Preserve shore cover and natural beauty by restricting the removal of natural shoreland cover and controlling shoreland-wetland excavation, filling and other earth-moving activities.
(4)
Compliance with article. The use of wetlands and the alteration of wetlands within the shoreland area of the village shall be in full compliance with the terms of this article and other applicable local, state or federal regulations. (However, see section 78-53, for the standards applicable to nonconforming uses.) All permitted development shall require the issuance of a zoning permit unless otherwise expressly excluded by a provision of this article.
(5)
Municipalities and state agencies regulated. Unless specifically exempted by law, all cities, villages, towns, and counties are required to comply with this article and obtain all necessary permits. State agencies are required to comply if Wis. Stats. § 13.48(13) applies. The construction, reconstruction, maintenance and repair of state highways and bridges by the state department of transportation are exempt when Wis. Stats. § 30.12(4)(a) applies.
(6)
Abrogation and greater restrictions.
(a)
This article supersedes all the provisions of any municipal zoning ordinance enacted under Wis. Stats. §§ 61.35, 62.23 or 87.30, which relate to floodplains and shoreland-wetlands, except that where another municipal zoning ordinance is more restrictive than this article, that ordinance shall continue in full force and effect to the extent of the greater restrictions, but not otherwise.
(b)
This article is not intended to repeal, abrogate or impair any existing deed restrictions, covenants or easements. However, where this article imposes greater restrictions, the provisions of this article shall prevail.
(7)
Interpretation of article. In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this article shall be held to be minimum requirements and shall be liberally construed in favor of the village and shall not be deemed a limitation or repeal of any other powers granted by the state statutes. Where a provision of this article is required by a standard in chapter NR 117, Wis. Adm. Code, and where the chapter provision is unclear, the provision shall be interpreted in light of the chapter NR 117 standards in effect on September 11, 1995 or in effect on the date of the most recent text amendment to this article.
(8)
Annexed areas. The county shoreland zoning provisions in effect on the date of annexation remain in effect administered by the village for all areas annexed by the village after May 7, 1982, unless any of the changes as allowed by Wis. Stats. § 59.971(7)(a)(1—3) occurs. These annexed lands are described on the municipality's official zoning map. The county shoreland zoning provisions are incorporated by reference for the purpose of administering this article and are on file in the office of the village zoning administrator.
(9)
Enforcement; penalty for violation of article. Any development, building or structure or accessory building or structure constructed, altered, added to, modified, rebuilt or replaced or any use or accessory use established after the effective date of this article in violation of the provisions of the ordinance from which this article derived, by any person, firm, association, corporation (including building contractors or their agents) shall be deemed a violation. The zoning administrator or any member of the Village of Lannon Police Department under the direction of the chief of police shall refer violations to the plan commission and/or the municipal attorney who shall prosecute such violations. Any person who violates or refuses to comply with any of the provisions of this article shall be subject to a forfeiture of not less than $100.00 nor more than $500.00 per offense, together with the taxable costs of such action. Each day of continued violation shall constitute a separate offense. Every violation of this article is a public nuisance and the creation thereof may be enjoined and the maintenance thereof may be abated by action at suit of the village, the state, or any citizen thereof pursuant to Wis. Stats. § 87.30(2).

4.
The following criteria shall be considered by the village board of trustees in determining whether to approve an enhanced density:
a.
Whether the project will provide better utilization of the land and better preservation of natural resources than would otherwise be realized if the site were developed either in conformity with the density requirements of the underlying district or as a PUD District without an enhanced density;
b.
Whether the project makes adequate provision such that an increase in residential density will not have an unreasonable adverse effect on neighboring properties, existing and/or proposed public rights-of-way and/or municipal and other public services as a result of the type, intensity and frequency of the use(s) associated with the proposed project;
c.
Whether the structures proposed for the project are harmonious with existing surrounding structures and land uses;
d.
Whether building materials have been selected and are proposed to be utilized in a manner that is harmonious with the natural environment and the general character of other buildings and structures in the vicinity of the proposed development;
