A preliminary plat shall be required for all
major subdivisions and shall be based upon a survey by a registered
land surveyor, and the plat shall be prepared on reproducible material
at a scale of not more than 100 feet to the inch and shall show correctly
on its face the following information:
A. Title under which the proposed subdivision is to be
recorded.
B. Legal description, parcel numbers, and general location
of proposed subdivision and relative location to a nearby municipality.
C. Date, scale and North arrow.
D. Names and addresses of the owner, subdivider and land
surveyor preparing the plat.
E. Entire area contiguous to the proposed plat owned
or controlled by the applicant shall be included on the preliminary
plat even though only a portion of such area is proposed for immediate
development. The Town Board may waive this requirement where it is
unnecessary to fulfill the purposes and intent of this chapter and
undue hardship would result from strict application thereof.
F. Approximate length and bearing of the exterior boundaries
of the proposed subdivision referenced to a corner established in
the United States Public Land Survey and the total acreage encompassed
thereby.
G. Contours at vertical intervals of not more than two
feet where the slope of the ground surface is less than 10% and of
not more than five feet where the slope of the surface is 10% or more.
Elevations shall be marked on such contours based on mean sea level
datum, or, where in the judgment of the Town Board undue hardship
would result because of the remoteness of the parcel from a mean sea
level reference elevation, another datum may be used.
H. Water elevations of adjoining lakes and streams at the date of survey, ordinary high-water elevation, and designated floodplains, wetlands, and surface water drainageways regulated under the authority of the Winnebago County Town/County Zoning Ordinance and §
275-41 of this chapter.
I. Location, right-of-way width and names of all existing
and proposed streets, alleys or other public ways, easements, railroad
and utility rights-of-way and all section and quarter-section lines
within the exterior boundaries of the plat or immediately adjacent
thereto.
J. Location and names of any adjacent subdivisions, parks,
schools, and cemeteries and owners of record of abutting unplatted
lands.
K. Type, width and elevation of any existing street pavements
within the exterior boundaries of the plat or immediately adjacent
thereto, together with any legally established center-line elevations,
all to the datum used for the contours.
L. Location, size and invert elevation of any existing
sanitary or storm sewers, culverts and drainpipes, the location of
manholes, catch basins, hydrants, and power and telephone poles, and
the location and size of any existing water and gas mains within the
exterior boundaries of the plat or immediately adjacent thereto. If
no sewers or water mains are located on or immediately adjacent to
the tract, the nearest such sewers or water mains which might be extended
to serve the tract shall be indicated by their directions and distance
from the tract, size and invert elevations.
M. Locations of all existing property boundary lines,
structures, drives, streams and watercourses, marshes, rock outcrops,
wooded areas, railroad tracks and other similar significant features
within the tract being subdivided or immediately adjacent thereto.
N. Dimensions of all lots, together with proposed lot
and block numbers.
O. In the preliminary plat stage, show the location and
dimensions of sites to be reserved or dedicated for parks, playgrounds,
pedestrian walkways, drainageways or other public use, or which are
to be used for group housing, shopping centers, church sites or other
nonpublic uses not requiring platting. In cluster subdivisions, conservation
areas or open space (both primary and secondary) must be identified.
P. Approximate radii of all curves.
Q. Existing zoning and proposed use on and adjacent to
the proposed subdivision.
S. Any proposed lake and stream access with a small drawing
clearly indicating the location of the proposed subdivision in relation
to the access.
T. Any proposed lake and stream improvement or relocation
and proposed filling, grading, lagooning and dredging and the notice
of application for the State Department of Natural Resources approval,
when applicable.
V. Any additional information that the Town Board deems
necessary.
The subdivider shall provide street plans and
profiles showing existing ground surface and proposed and established
street grades, including extensions for a reasonable distance beyond
the limits of the proposed subdivision, and all elevations, plans
and profiles shall meet the approval of the Town Board.
The Town Board may require that borings and
soundings be made in designated areas to ascertain subsurface soil,
rock and water conditions, including the depth to bedrock and the
depth to groundwater table. All subdivisions not served by public
sanitary sewer service shall comply with the provisions of the Wisconsin
Administrative Code. All appropriate data shall be submitted with
the preliminary plat.
The Town Board may require submission of a draft
of protective covenants whereby the applicant intends to regulate
land use in the proposed subdivision and otherwise protect the proposed
development.
The surveyor preparing the preliminary plat
shall certify on the face of the plat that it is a correct representation
of all existing land divisions and features and that he has fully
complied with the provisions of this chapter.
