A. 
Consultation. Prior to filing an application for approval of a preliminary plat, development plan, or certified survey, the subdivider shall consult with the Plan Commission for advice and assistance for the purpose of determining land suitability and reviewing the procedures and requirements of this chapter and other ordinances and any plans or data which may affect the proposed development within the time lines approved on the Plan Commission Action Table.

Environmental assessment checklist.
(1) 
Application. All applications hereunder shall use the environmental assessment checklist, available from the Village Clerk/Treasurer.
(2) 
Purpose. The purpose of this environmental assessment checklist is to provide the basis for an orderly, systematic review of the effects of all new subdivisions upon the community environment in accordance with the principles and procedures of Wisconsin Statutes set for local subdivision regulation. The Plan Commission will use these procedures in determining land suitability under § 600-10. The goals of the community in requiring this checklist are to eliminate or reduce pollution and siltation to an acceptable standard, assume ample living space per capita, preserve open space and parks for recreation, provide adequately for stormwater control, maintain scenic beauty and aesthetic surroundings, administer to the economic and cultural needs of the citizens and provide for the effective and efficient flow of goods and services.
(3) 
Coverage. The environmental assessment checklist shall apply to all subdivisions and certified survey maps. The Plan Commission may waive the requirement for the filing of an environmental assessment checklist for certified surveys of less than five acres total area.[1]

A. 
Prior to submitting a final plat for approval, the subdivider shall prepare and submit a preliminary plat. The subdivider shall file with the Village within the time lines approved on the Plan Commission Action Table prior to a scheduled Plan Commission meeting a written application for approval of the preliminary plat, including completion of a Checklist for Preliminary Plats provided by the Village Clerk/Treasurer, and pay the required fees (see § 600-40). The application shall include all data required by this chapter accompanied by five copies of the plat. The preliminary plat shall cover the entire parcel owned or controlled by the subdivider, even though only a portion thereof is proposed for development at the time. The preliminary plat shall be clearly marked "Preliminary Plat" and shall be in sufficient detail to determine whether the final plat will meet layout requirements. The subdivider may elect to submit a development plan in lieu of a preliminary plat when he or she owns or controls 40 contiguous acres or more of land. The subdivider shall still submit a preliminary plat for that part which is to be included in the final plat. The Village shall, within 90 days from the date all required information has been received, as determined by the Chairperson of the Plan Commission, or within such extended time as agreed by the developer, approve, approve conditionally, or reject the preliminary plat and shall state in writing any condition of approval or reasons for rejection. Failure of the Village Board to act within 90 days, or extension thereof, constitutes an approval of the preliminary plat. The Village Board shall refer the application to the Plan Commission for a recommendation regarding the conformity of the preliminary plat or development plan within the provisions of this chapter and Wisconsin law.
B. 
Within two days after a preliminary plat is submitted for approval, legible copies, together with a list of the authorities to which the plat must be submitted for approval under § 236.10, Wis. Stats., or objection under § 236.12(2), Wis. Stats., furnished by the developer at the developer's expense, shall be sent by the Village Clerk/Treasurer to the agencies having objecting authority, pursuant to § 236.12(2), Wis. Stats. In lieu of this procedure, the developer may submit the original plat to the Wisconsin Department of Administration for distribution to objecting authorities.
C. 
The Plan Commission shall refer the preliminary plat or development plan to the Village Engineer, the Public Works and Parks Committee, and all appropriate committees for comments and recommendations prior to making a recommendation to the Village Board.[1]

A. 
If the preliminary plat has been approved or approved conditionally by the Village Board, the subdivider may make written application to the Village and pay the required fees for the approval of a final plat. The application shall be submitted within the time lines approved on the Plan Commission Action Table prior to the scheduled Plan Commission meeting and shall be accompanied by five copies of the plat. The final plat may, if permitted by the Village Board, be for only that part of the preliminary plat that the developer proposes to record at the time.
B. 
Within two days after a final plat is submitted for approval, legible copies, together with a list of the authorities to which the plat must be submitted for approval under § 236.10, Wis. Stats., or objection under § 236.12(2), Wis. Stats., furnished by the developer at the developer's expense, shall be sent by the Village Clerk/Treasurer to the agencies having objecting authority, pursuant to § 236.12(2), Wis. Stats. In lieu of this procedure, the developer may submit the original plat to the Wisconsin Department of Administration for distribution to objecting authorities.
C. 
The Village Board shall refer the final plat to the Plan Commission for a recommendation that the final plat conforms to the preliminary plat, including any conditions of approval, and Village plans and ordinances. The Plan Commission shall refer the plat to the Village Engineer, a planner or another person charged with the responsibility to review plats, who shall provide the Village with his or her conclusions as to whether the final plat conforms substantially to the preliminary plat and with his or her recommendation on approval of the final plat. The conclusions and recommendation shall be made a part of the record of the proceeding at which the final plat is being considered and are not required to be submitted in writing. After receipt of these comments and recommendations, the Plan Commission shall make a determination and forward its recommendation to the Village Board. The Village shall give at least 10 days' prior written notice of the Village Board's intention to act on the final plat to the clerk of any municipality whose boundaries are within 1,000 feet of any portion of such proposed plat, but failure to give such notice shall not invalidate any such plat. If the final plat conforms substantially to the preliminary plat as approved, including any conditions of approval, and to Village plans and ordinances and has been submitted within 36 months after the last required approval of the preliminary plat, it is entitled to approval. If the final plat is not submitted within 36 months after the last required approval of the preliminary plat, any approving authority may refuse to approve the final plat or may extend the time for submission of the final plat. The Village Board shall approve or reject the final plat within 60 days of its submission, unless the time is extended by agreement with the developer. If the Village Board or another authority fails to act within 60 days and the time has not been extended by agreement and if no unsatisfied objections have been filed within that period, the plat shall be deemed approved, and, upon demand, a certificate to that effect shall be made on the face of the plat by the clerk of the authority which has failed to act. If a plat is rejected, the reasons therefor shall be stated in the minutes of the meeting and a copy thereof or a written statement of the reasons supplied to the developer. A copy of the recorded plat shall be returned to the Village Clerk/Treasurer prior to the issuance of a building permit.

When a land division is created as defined herein, the subdivider shall first consult with the Plan Commission regarding the requirements for certified surveys before submission of the final map. Following consultation, a copy of the final map in the form of a certified survey map, in accordance with § 236.34, Wis. Stats., and this chapter, shall be submitted to the Plan Commission within the time lines approved on the Plan Commission Action Table prior to the regular meeting of the Plan Commission. Certified survey maps shall be approved by the Plan Commission, except that when a certified survey map involves the dedication of streets or other public areas to the Village as required in § 600-14 of this chapter, approval of the Village Board shall also be required. The Plan Commission, and where required the Village Board, shall, within 90 days of the filing, unless the time is extended by agreement with the subdivider, approve, approve conditionally, or reject the map. Failure to act within the 90 days, or any extension of that period, constitutes an approval of the certified survey map, and, upon demand, a certificate to that effect shall be made on the face of the map by the Clerk/Treasurer. Conditions of approval or reasons for rejection shall be stated in writing and provided to the subdivider. The subdivider shall record the map with the applicable County Register of Deeds within six months after the date of the last approval of the map and within 24 months after the first approval of the map. Failure to do so shall necessitate reapproval of the map by the Plan Commission. The certified survey map shall comply with the provisions of this chapter relating to general requirements, design standards and required improvements. A copy of the recorded survey map shall be returned to the Village Clerk/Treasurer prior to the issuance of a building permit.
