A.
When it is proposed to create up to four lots or building
sites, or when it is proposed to divide a block, lot or outlot into
up to four lots or building sites within a recorded subdivision plat
without changing the boundaries of said block, lot or outlot, the
subdivider shall file a certified survey map (CSM). Any lot or lots
being applied for by CSM having five acres or less, and intended for
residential purposes, shall include application for rezoning to residential.
[Amended 4-21-2005]
B.
Previous to filing a certified survey map of any parcel
of land, the subdivider shall consult with the Town Zoning Administrator
for advice and assistance to assure the division does not conflict
with local, county, or regional plans.
[Amended 4-21-2005]
C.
The subdivider shall provide the Town with a reasonably
accurate preliminary map of the land being considered for division.
It may be a freehand drawing but of a sufficient scale so that conditions
can be determined to be reviewed for proximity to adjacent streets
and schools, for analysis of soil types, topography, and drainage,
and generally for the effect the land division would have on the development
of surrounding property. Such map shall describe the entire ownership
involved in the process of division; provided, however, that where
the division results in a residual parcel, not intended for immediate
sale or other conveyance, the Town Plan Commission may recommend and
the Town Board may waive the requirement for inclusion of the residual
parcel. In this case, a supplementary map of reasonable accuracy shall
be attached showing the relationship to the original ownership of
the parcel or parcels being severed. In the event the division involves
the dedication and development of a Town road, the subdivider shall
submit an itemized estimate of the costs of required public improvements
consistent with Town specifications.
D.
After tentative Town approval as to a general land
division, the subdivider shall proceed to have a certified survey
map prepared. The certified survey map shall be drawn in accordance
with this chapter. The subdivider shall file 15 copies of the CSM,
accompanied by a filing fee (on record in the Town Clerk's office).
Said filing must occur with the Town Clerk at least one week prior
to the Town Plan Commission meeting. In the event the division involves
the dedication and development of a Town road, the subdivider shall
also meet with the Town Attorney to formulate a development agreement.[1]
The Town Clerk shall transmit a copy of the
map to all affected boards, commissions or departments for their review
and recommendations concerning matters within their jurisdiction.
Their recommendations shall be transmitted to the Town Board. The
map shall be reviewed by the Town Plan Commission for conformance
with this chapter and all ordinances, rules, and regulations and the
Town Comprehensive Plan.
A.
The certified survey map shall be prepared by a registered
land surveyor in accordance with the provisions contained in § 236.34,
Wis. Stats., and shall show clearly on its face the following:
(1)
All existing buildings, setbacks, watercourses, drainage
ditches, names of adjacent owners, setbacks to structures on adjacent
property and other features pertinent to division of property.
(2)
Location of access to public road.
(3)
Date of the map with a graphic scale.
(4)
Name and address of the person for whom the survey
was made.
B.
An owner's certificate and approval signature of the
Town Chairman and Treasurer's certificate in accordance with § 236.21(3),
Wis. Stats., shall be the only approvals required for recording unless
additional approvals are necessary for dedication purposes.
C.
All corners shall be monumented.
D.
The map shall be prepared on durable white paper,
on tracing cloth, or paper (that can be copied), 8 1/2 inches
wide by 14 inches long. The scale shall not be more than 500 feet
to the inch.
E.
The map shall include the certificate of the surveyor,
giving a clear and concise description of the land surveyed by bearings
and distances, commencing with some corner marked and established
in the United States Public Land Survey. The surveyor's certificate
shall state that he has complied with the requirements of Ch. 236,
Wis. Stats.
F.
The Town Plan Commission shall, within 45 days from
the date of filing of the map, recommend approval, conditional approval
or rejection of the map and shall transmit the map along with its
recommendations to the Town Board.
G.
The Town Board shall approve, approve conditionally,
or reject such map within 90 days from the date of filing of the map
unless the time is extended by agreement with the subdivider. If the
map is rejected, the reason shall be stated in the minutes of the
meeting and a written statement forwarded to the subdivider. If the
map is approved, the Town Board shall cause the Town Clerk to so certify
on the face of the original map and return the map to the subdivider.
H.
An executed development agreement may be required for any proposed improvements as prescribed in § 275-17 of this chapter.
I.
The certified survey map shall be recorded with the
County Register of Deeds. When a certified survey map has been so
recorded, the parcels of land in the map may be described by reference
to the number of the survey, the volume and page where recorded, and
the name of the county. Any land or improvements offered for dedication
and approved by the governing agency accepting the dedication shall
be deeded at the time of recording, unless otherwise arranged.
J.
An Assessor's plat may be ordered by the Town Board
at the expense of the subdivider when a subdivision as defined herein
is created by successive division as provided in § 236.31(2),
Wis. Stats.
