Stats.

      NOW THEREFORE, the Town Board of Supervisors of the Town of Greenville, Outagamie County, Wisconsin, does ordain as follows:

PART I.  GENERAL PROVISIONS

1. Establishment.  There is hereby established an Official Map of the Town of Greenville and parts thereof, showing the location and width of streets, highways, trails,  parks, playgrounds and waterways.  The Official Map shall be conclusive with respect to the location, width and extent thereof.
2. Conformance Required.  No land division or subdivision plat shall be approved unless such land division or subdivision plat conforms to the Official Map.
3. Permit Requirements.  Any person desiring to construct or enlarge a building within the limits of a street, highway, trail, park, playground or waterway as shown on the Official Map shall apply to the Town of Greenville Building Inspector for a building permit.  Unless application is made and the building permit granted or not denied within  30 days, the person is not entitled to compensation for damage to the building in the course of construction of the street, highway, trail, park or playground or waterway, so shown on the Official Map.  No permit for the erection of any building shall be issued unless a street or highway giving access to such proposed structure  has been dedicated, opened or duly placed on the Official Map.
4. Changes and Amendments.  The Town Board may change and amend the Official Map.  No such change or amendment shall become effective until after a public hearing before the Town of Greenville Plan Commission.  Notice of the public hearing shall be published as a class 2 notice under Chapter 985 Wis. Stats. The Plan Commission shall then make a recommendation on the changes or amendment to the Town Board.  When adopted by the Town Board, changes and amendments become a part of the Official Map and are conclusive with respect to location, width and extent.
5. No Dedication or Acquisition.  The placing of any street, highway, trail, park, playground or waterway upon the Official Map does not constitute the opening or establishment of such street, highway, trail, park, playground or waterway or the taking or acceptance of any land for these purposes.
6. Appeals.
   1. If the land within the mapped street, highway, park, playground or waterway is not yielding a fair return, the Town of Greenville Board of Appeals may, by a concurring vote of its members, grant a permit for a building or addition within the limits shown which will as little as practicable increase the cost of opening the street, highway, park, playground or waterway or tend to cause a change of the Official Map. The Board of Appeals may impose reasonable requirements as a condition of granting the permit to promote the public health, convenience, safety or general welfare. The Board of Appeals shall refuse a permit where the applicant will not be substantially affected by not constructing the addition or by placing the building outside of the mapped area.
   2. Where the enforcement of the provisions of this ordinance would entail practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship, and where the circumstances of the case do not require the structure to be related to existing or proposed streets or highways, the applicant may appeal from the decision of the Building Inspector to the Town of Greenville Board of Appeals.  The Board may in passing on such appeal make any reasonable exception and issue the permit subject to conditions that will protect any future street or highway layout.
   3. Before taking any action authorized in this Ordinance, the Town of Greenville Board of Appeals shall hold a hearing at which parties in interest and others shall have an opportunity to be heard.  At least 15 days before the hearing, notice of the time and place of the hearing shall be published as a class 1 notice, under Chapter 985, Wis. Stats.
7. Appeals from Board Decisions. Any decision of the Town of Greenville Board of Appeals shall be subject to review by certiorari issued by a court of record.  Such review shall be commenced within 30 days of the decision of the Board
