Section 66.1102. Land development; notification; records requests.

 

(1)   Definitions. In this section:

(a) “Land information" has the meaning given in s. 59.72 (1) (a) .

(b) “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.
