66.1102 Land development; notification; records requests; construction site development.
(1) Definitions. In this section:
(ae) “Construction site” means the site of the construction, alteration, painting, or repair of a building, structure, or other work.
(bm) “Land information" has the meaning given in s. 59.72 (1) (a).
(bs) “Political subdivision" means any city, village, town, or county.
(2) Notification requirements. Before a political subdivision may take action that would allow the development of a residential, commercial, or industrial property that would likely increase the amount of water that the main drain of a drainage district would have to accommodate, the political subdivision shall send notice to the drainage district.
(3) Failure to notify. A political subdivision's failure to notify under sub. (2) does not invalidate any decision made or action taken by the political subdivision.
(4) Land information record requests. Whenever any office or officer of a political subdivision receives a request to copy a record containing land information, the requester has a right to receive a copy of the record in the same format in which the record is maintained by the custodian, unless the requester requests that a copy be provided in a different format that is authorized by law.
(5) Construction site fences.
(a) Except for an ordinance that is related to health or safety concerns, no political subdivision may enact an ordinance or adopt a resolution that limits the ability of any person who is the owner, or other person in lawful possession or control, of a construction site to install a banner over the entire height and length of a fence surrounding the construction site.
(b) If a political subdivision has enacted an ordinance or adopted a resolution before April 5, 2018, that is inconsistent with par. (a), that portion of the ordinance or resolution does not apply and may not be enforced.
