RESOLUTION #110-2000
SUPPORT OF WAUKESHA COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT WORKGROUP
RECOMMENDATION TO RESTRICT THE USE OF CERTIFIED SURVEY MAPS FOR
CERTAIN LAND DIVISIONS
WHEREAS, In July 1999 Waukesha County convened a Land Development
Workgroup to address issues created by current land division and development
processes, and
WHEREAS, The Land Development Workgroup was comprised of town, village, and
city officials, a county board supervisor, representatives from the real estate
development industry, land use planners, engineers, conservation groups, and the
agricultural community, and
WHEREAS, the Workgroup developed a minimum definition of a “Subdivision” to be
applied in local municipal land division codes, and
WHEREAS, The intent of the definition is to cause larger scale residential
developments to proceed as platted subdivisions, and
WHEREAS, Platted subdivisions are subject to Wisconsin Department of
Administration and Waukesha County approving and objecting authorities, where minor
land divisions are not, and
WHEREAS, Such State and County actions would infringe upon the Home Rule
authority granted to the City of Muskego; and
WHEREAS, The Plan Commission defeated Resolution #P.C. 064-2000 and did not
recommend implementation of the definition.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED That the Common Council of the City of
Muskego does hereby support the recommendation of the Waukesha Land
Development Workgroup to implement the following definition of a Subdivision:
“A Subdivision is the division of a lot, as defined therein, by the owner, subdivider, or
his successor in title, for the purpose of transfer of ownership or building
development where the division creates more than four (4) lots less than 1.5 acres
in size in five (5) years or where the division creates more than six (6) parcels or
building sites of any size within five (5) years.”
