Neighbor Widened His Driveway Over The Property Line

Location: Wisconsin

My neighbor widened his blacktop driveway. It now extends onto my property. The new driveway creates 2 issues:

The blacktop driveway is over the property line onto my property. It begins at 4 inches over and ends at about 24 inches over.
A county ordinance says driveways must be 4 feet from the property line. (See ordinance below). We're in a rural, residential area and I'm reasonably sure there are no city or township ordinances that would override this.

All driveways, parking areas and walks that do not protrude more than 2 feet above ground level, also open play equipment, may be located anywhere within a lot, as long as they are not closer than 4 feet to a side or rear lot line. Shared driveways are exempt from the setback standard.

This is a relatively small issue for me, but he has a history of pushing the lot line and other boundaries, always to his own benefit, and you can't let people like this walk over you.

I'm looking for thoughts on the best way to approach this. I want his driveway off my property and I want the 4 foot boundary required by the ordinance.

Thank you very much,
