A preliminary plat shall be required for all subdivisions and shall
be based upon a survey by a registered land surveyor, and the plat
shall be prepared on Mylar or paper of good quality at a scale of
not more than 100 feet to the inch and shall show correctly on its
face the following information:
The entire area contiguous to the proposed plat owned or controlled
by the subdivider shall be included on the preliminary plat even though
only a portion of said area is proposed for immediate development.
The Village Board, upon the Plan Commission's recommendation,
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.
Exact length and bearing of the exterior boundaries of the proposed
subdivision, referenced to a corner established in the U.S. Public
Land Survey, and the total acreage encompassed thereby.
Locations of all existing property boundary lines, structures, drives,
streams and watercourses, marshes, rock outcrops, wooded areas, railroad
tracks and other significant features within the tract being subdivided
or immediately adjacent thereto.
Location, right-of-way width and names of all existing 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.
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.
Location, size and invert elevation of any existing sanitary or storm
sewers, culverts and drainpipes; the location of manholes, catch basins,
hydrants, and electric and communication facilities, whether overhead
or underground; 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 the direction
and distance from the tract, size and invert elevations.
Contours within the exterior boundaries of the plat and extending
to the center line of adjacent public streets to National Map Accuracy
Standards based upon mean sea level datum at vertical intervals of
not more than two feet. At least two permanent bench marks shall be
located in the immediate vicinity of the plat; the location of the
bench marks shall be indicated on the plat, together with their elevations
referenced to mean sea level datum and the monumentation of the bench
marks clearly and completely described. Where, in the judgment of
the Village Engineer, undue hardship would result because of the remoteness
of the parcel from a mean sea level reference elevation, another datum
may be used.
High-water elevation of all ponds, streams, lakes, flowages
and wetlands within the exterior boundaries of the plat or located
within 100 feet therefrom.
Water elevation of all ponds, streams, lakes, flowages and wetlands
within the exterior boundaries of the plat or located within 100 feet
therefrom at the date of the survey.
Floodland and shoreland boundaries and the contour line lying
a vertical distance of two feet above the elevation of the one-hundred-year
recurrence interval flood or, where such data is not available, two
feet above the elevation of the maximum flood of record within the
exterior boundaries of the plat or within 100 feet therefrom.
Soil types and their boundaries, as shown on the operational
soil survey maps prepared by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural
Resources Conservation Service.[1]
Location and results of soil boring tests within the exterior
boundaries of the plat conducted in accordance with Ch. Comm 85, Wis.
Adm. Code, and delineation of areas with three-foot and six-foot groundwater
and bedrock levels where the subdivision will not be served by public
sanitary sewer service.
Location and results of percolation tests within the exterior
boundaries of the plat conducted in accordance with Ch. Comm 85, Wis.
Adm. Code, where the subdivision will not be served by public sanitary
sewer service.
Location and approximate dimensions of any sites to be reserved
or dedicated for parks, playgrounds, drainageways or other public
use or which are to be used for group housing, shopping centers, church
sites or other nonpublic uses not requiring lotting.
Any proposed lake and stream improvement or relocation, and
notice of application for approval by the Division of Environmental
Protection, Department of Natural Resources, when applicable.
Where
the Plan Commission, Village Board or Village Engineer finds that
it requires additional information relative to a particular problem
presented by a proposed development in order to review the preliminary
plat, it shall have the authority to request in writing such information
from the subdivider.
The
Plan Commission and/or Village Board may require a proposed subdivision
layout of all or part of the contiguously owned land even though division
is not planned at the time.
A final plat prepared by a registered land surveyor shall be
required for all subdivisions. It shall comply in all respects with
the requirements of Ch. 236, Wis. Stats., and this chapter.
Certified survey requirements. When it is proposed to divide land
into two or no more than four building sites, any one of which is
less than 10 acres, or when it is proposed to divide a block, lot
or outlot into not more than four parcels or building sites within
a recorded subdivision plat without changing the exterior boundaries
of the block, lot or outlot, the subdivider shall subdivide by use
of a certified survey map prepared in accordance with § 236.34,
Wis. Stats., and this chapter.
Submission and review. The subdivider is encouraged to first consult
with the Zoning Administrator regarding the requirements for certified
surveys before submission of the final map. Following consultation,
two copies of the final map in the form of a certified survey map
shall be submitted to the Village. The certified survey shall be reviewed,
approved or disapproved by the Zoning Administrator if the map complies
with all existing rules and regulations. If there is not compliance,
the map will be reviewed by the Plan Commission and the Village Board.
Additional information. The certified survey map shall show correctly
on its face, in addition to the information required by § 236.34,
Wis. Stats., the following:
Certificates. The surveyor shall certify on the face of the certified
survey map that he has fully complied with all the provisions of this
chapter. The Zoning Administrator, or the Village Board after a recommendation
by the Plan Commission, shall certify his or its approval on the face
of the map.[1]
Street dedication. Dedication of streets and other public areas shall
require, in addition, the owner's certificate and the mortgagee's
certificate in substantially the same form as required by § 236.21(2)(a),
Wis. Stats.
Recordation. The subdivider shall record the map with the County
Register of Deeds within six months of its final approval. Failure
to do so shall necessitate a new review and reapproval of the map
by the Village Board.[2]
Requirements. To the extent reasonably practicable, the certified
survey shall comply with the provisions of this chapter relating to
general requirements, design standards and required improvements.
Conveyance by metes and bounds shall be prohibited where the lot(s)
involved is less than 10 acres.
