When it is proposed to divide land into more
than four lots or building sites by successive division, the subdivider
shall subdivide in accordance with the following procedures:
A. The subdivider shall have an initial consultation
with the Town Plan Commission and other appropriate individuals or
entities deemed necessary by the Town Plan Commission before proceeding
with platting procedures. The purpose of these consultations is to
inform the subdivider of the parameters, regulations, and policies
in regard to the following issues:
(1) The suitability of the site for development.
(2) The accessibility of the site.
(3) The availability of public facilities (sewer, school,
parks, water, etc.) and public services (police, fire, etc.).
(4) Soil conditions and drainage patterns.
(5) The effect of the proposed development on any contemplated
improvements.
(6) Zoning of the site and regulations that apply.
(7) Required public improvements.
B. The subdivider shall submit a concept plan on a topographic
survey map indicating the nature of the above conditions. The initial
sketch plan should take into account the intent of this chapter as
well as any other reviewing agencies' comments obtained in contacts
with the appropriate agencies. A second meeting may be required if
the sketch plan needs to be significantly altered to meet the criteria
identified in this chapter. The sketch plan will be reviewed as it
relates to:
(1) Topography, based on a United States Geological Survey
(USGS) quadrangle map.
(2) The improvements, design, dedications, or reservations
required by these regulations.
(3) Continuity to existing development within 300 feet
of all boundaries.
(4) Regulations as set down by Ch. 236, Wis. Stats.
(5) Regulations established under Ch. COMM. 83, Wis. Adm.
Code (septic systems).
(6) Regulations established under Ch. TRANS 33, Wis. Adm.
Code, as it relates to highway regulations.
(8) Consistency with the Town's Comprehensive Plan and
any other Town ordinances and policies.
(9) For property within a Town sanitary district, the
proposed plat will be consistent with the plans for providing sanitary
sewer service.
As part of the preliminary plat submission,
the Town requires the subdivider to meet with the Town Attorney to
formulate a development agreement, which must be approved by the Town
Board prior to executing the final plat. The subdivider will be obligated
to pay all legal and professional fees associated with the Town's
review and approval of the development agreement.
Following final plat approval by the Town Board
and either required improvements being installed or a development
agreement and sureties ensuring completion of installation being executed
and filed, the Town Clerk shall cause the certificate to be inscribed
upon the plat. Within six months of approval by the last approving
agency, the owner or his agent must have the plat recorded in the
Winnebago County Register of Deeds office.
