Lake City Corp. v. City of Mequon
Court of Appeals of Wisconsin

1Opinion of the CourtBrown, J.
The City of Mequon rejected Lake City Corporation's subdivision plat map because it conflicted with land use recommendations contained in the municipality's master plan. Lake City then sought certiorari review alleging that the plan commission had no authority to reject its plat on that ground. The trial court found that under § 236.13(1), STATS., these elements of Mequon's master plan could serve as the basis for the rejection. We conclude, however, that this statute does not authorize localities to rely on a master plan's land use goals to reject subdivision plats.
