2005 - 2006 LEGISLATURE
April 15, 2005 - Introduced by Representatives Berceau, Ott and Molepske,
cosponsored by Senator Risser. Referred to Committee on Urban and Local
Affairs.
AB324,1,2
1An Act to amend 236.45 (3) of the statutes;
relating to: requiring subdividers
2to comply with municipal extraterritorial public improvement requirements.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a developer who wishes to subdivide an extraterritorial plat
(the unincorporated area within 3 miles of the corporate limits of a first, second, or
third class city, or within one and one-half miles of a fourth class city or village) must
obtain the approval of the town board and of the governing body of the municipality
(an incorporated city or village) by the body's adoption of a subdivision ordinance or
an official map.
This bill permits such a subdivision ordinance to require a subdivider to make
and install reasonably necessary public improvements; execute a surety bond or
provide other security to ensure that the subdivider makes the improvements within
a reasonable time; or pay a reasonable fee in lieu of installing the improvements.
For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
