Frequently Asked Questions

+ -

What is a determination of completeness?

When we receive a development application, staff will review the materials to make sure the application submittal is complete and ready for formal review. If an application submittal is not complete, staff will notify the applicant and describe the parts that are not complete.

A determination that an application is complete means the application is ready for formal review and does not suggest the applicant has provided sufficient information in all regards or preclude the reviewing authority from requesting additional information it deems appropriate.

+ -

Can a decision of the Village Board be appealed?

Yes; appeals are made to the circuit court and generally must be filed with the court soon after the decision has been made.

+ -

What is a professional chargeback fee?

For some types of development reviews, the Village charges the applicant for the time spent by the Village engineer, attorney, planner, or other professional in reviewing their application. In that way, Village taxpayers aren't paying for the cost of development activities. Invoices are mailed to the applicant as the Village incurs such costs.

+ -

I need to hire a professional surveyor. Can you recommend one?

The Village cannot recommend any particular surveyor. We do however maintain a list consultants and offer it as a public service. Check it out HERE. You can browse the list or use the filter to find those providing the services you may need.

+ -

If I submit an application and it is not approved, can I get my application fee back?

Application fees are not refundable. They are intended to cover the costs necessary to review the application.

About Reviewers

The following are involved in the review of this type of application.

The Village Board is the governing body of the Village of East Troy and is responsible for making decisions on local policies, budgets, and ordinances. The board also reviews certain types of development projects. The board consists of 7 members who are elected to two-year terms. One member serves as the president.

The Plan Commission is a 7-member body established by the Village Board to review certain development projects and act on other matters. Depending on the type of the development proposal, the commission may be advisory to the Village Board or have the authority to make the final decision. Two members also serve on the Village Board; the remaining members are village residents who are appointed by the Village President and confirmed by the Village Board.

Planning staff provides technical support to the Village Board, Plan Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals, developers, neighbors, and other interested parties to facilitate the development review process.
