17.27 CHANGES AND AMENDMENTS.

(1) The Village Board may from time to time on its own motion or on petition amend
or change the district boundaries or the regulations herein, after first submitting
the proposal to the Village Plan Commission for recommendation and report and
after publishing a class 2 notice under Ch. 985, Wis. Stats., of the proposed
changes and hearing thereon and an opportunity to any persons interested to be
heard. At least 10 days prior written notice of changes in the district plan shall be
given to the clerk of any municipality whose boundaries are within 1,000’ of the
land to be affected by the proposed change, but failure to give such notice shall not
invalidate any such change. In the case of a property owner’s petition to rezone
land, the petitioner shall, along with request, supply the Village with a list of the
names and addresses of all neighboring property owners within 300 feet of the
land sought to be rezoned. The petitioner shall also erect a temporary sign on each
parcel sought to be rezoned, no less than fourteen days before the public hearing
thereon, giving notice, at least, of the parcel’s current zoning, the proposed zoning,
and the date, time and location of the public hearing on the requested zoning
change. The temporary sign shall be of such size, and placed at such location, as
the Zoning Administrator determines is necessary to make the sign reasonably
visible to the public, given the subject property’s particular location and features.
To defray the Village’s costs relating to the rezoning, a petitioner shall also pay
such fee as may be set periodically be resolution of the Village Board.

(2) In case of protest against such change, signed and acknowledged by the owners of
20% or more of the areas of land included in such proposed amendment,
supplement or change or by the owners of 20% or more of the area of the land
immediately adjacent extending 100’ therefrom or by the owners of 20% or more
of the land directly opposite thereto extending 100’ from the street frontage of
such opposite land, such amendment, supplement or change shall not become
effective except by the favorable vote of ¾ of the members of the Village Board.
