Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 48 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[I]f a zoning ordinance provides for an appeal to a board of adjustment created pursuant to a statute similar to sec. 59.99 from an adverse ruling of an administrative officer or board in administering the ordinance, and court review of the decision or order of the board of adjustment is specifically provided for by statute, such remedy is exclusive of all other remedies and must be exhausted before a party can resort to the courts for other relief except in cases where the validity of the ordinance itself is attacked.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“"Sec. 59.97, Stats. 1947, which covers the subject of county zoning ordinances contains no provision permitting a town board which has once approved a county zoning ordinance to later withdraw such approval. In the absence of such an *Page 198 expressed statutory provision permitting a town to withdraw or rescind a prior approval once given to a county zoning ordinance, it is our conclusion that neither the town nor the town board possesses such power of withdrawal or rescission, and that the attempted withdrawal or rescission by the special town meeting of the town of Farmington on April 16, 1951, was therefore a nullity. . . ."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"As we construe sec. 59.97, Stats. 1947, it is not required that a public hearing be held in each town as a condition precedent to the town boards voting approval of a zoning ordinance, or an amendment thereto. but only that the one county-wide hearing required by sec. 59.97 (2), Stats. 1947, be held . . . ." 51 N.W.2d at p. 526 .”
