A preliminary plat shall be required for all subdivisions and
shall be based upon a survey by a registered land surveyor and the
plat prepared on tracing cloth 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:
A. Title under which the proposed subdivision is to be recorded.
B. Location of the proposed subdivision by government lot, quarter section,
township, range, county and state.
C. Date, scale and North point.
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 subdivider shall be included on the preliminary plat even though
only a portion of said area is proposed for immediate development.
The Village 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.
All preliminary plats shall show the following:
A. 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.
B. 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.
C. 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.
D. Location and names of any adjacent subdivisions, parks and cemeteries
and owners of record of abutting unplatted lands.
E. 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.
F. Location, size and invert elevation of any existing sanitary or storm
sewers, culverts and drainpipes, the location of manholes, catch basins,
hydrants, 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.
G. Corporate limit lines within the exterior boundaries of the plat
or immediately adjacent thereto.
H. Existing zoning on and adjacent to the proposed subdivision.
I. 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 Board, undue hardship would result because of the remoteness
of the parcel from a mean sea level reference elevation, another datum
may be used.
J. High-water elevation of all ponds, streams, lakes, flowages and wetlands
within the exterior boundaries of the plat or located within 100 feet
therefrom.
K. 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.
L. 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.
M. Soil types and their boundaries, as shown on the operational soil
survey maps prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture,
Natural Resources Conservation Service.
N. Location and results of percolation tests within the exterior boundaries
of the plat, conducted in accordance with Ch. SPS 385, Wis. Adm. Code,
where the subdivision will not be served by public sanitary sewer
service.
O. Location, width and names of all proposed streets and public rights-of-way
such as alleys and easements.
P. Approximate dimensions of all lots, together with proposed lot and
block numbers.
Q. 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.
R. Approximate radii of all curves.
S. Any proposed lake and stream access, with a small drawing clearly
indicating the location of the proposed subdivision in relation to
access.
T. Any proposed lake and stream improvement or relocation, and notice
of application for approval by the Department of Natural Resources,
when applicable.
U. Where the Village Board 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 subdivider may consult with the Village Board regarding
the requirements for minor subdivision certified surveys before submission
of the final map. Following consultation, a copy of the final map
in the form of a certified survey map shall be submitted to the Village.
The 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.
To the extent reasonably practicable, the certified survey/minor
subdivision plat shall comply with the provisions of this chapter
relating to general requirements, design standards and required improvements.
