It is recommended that, prior to the filing of an application
for the approval of a development, the subdivider shall consult with
the Town Plan Commission and/or its staff in order to obtain their
advice and assistance. This consultation is mandatory and is intended
to inform the subdivider of the purpose and objectives of these regulations,
the Comprehensive Plan, Comprehensive Plan components and duly adopted
plan implementation devices of the Town and to otherwise assist the
subdivider in planning his development. In so doing, both the subdivider
and planning agency may reach mutual conclusions regarding the general
program and objectives of the proposed development and its possible
effects on the neighborhood and community, and the subdivider will
gain a better understanding of the subsequently required procedures.
Any minor subdivision as defined herein shall be surveyed and
a certified survey map prepared and recorded as provided in § 236.34,
Wis. Stats., and this chapter.
A. A preliminary map or drawing of the proposed certified survey shall
be required to be submitted to the Town Plan Commission for preliminary
approval prior to preparation of the certified survey map document.
This map or drawing shall indicate the manner in which all of the
land owned or controlled by the person developing or owning the land
is to be divided into streets, lots, blocks and outlots, notwithstanding
the fact that only a portion of such land may be included on the certified
survey under consideration at any one time.
B. The subdivider shall prepare the certified survey map in accordance
with this chapter and shall file 10 copies of the map and the letter
of application with the Town Clerk at least 15 days prior to the meeting
of the Town Plan Commission at which action is desired.
C. The Town Clerk shall, within two days after filing, transmit the
10 copies of the map and letter of application to the Town Plan Commission.
D. The Town Plan Commission shall transmit a copy of the map to all
affected Town commissions and departments for their review and recommendations
concerning matters within their jurisdiction. Their recommendations
shall be transmitted to the Town Plan Commission within 10 days from
the date the map is filed. The map shall be reviewed by the Town Plan
Commission for conformance with this chapter and all ordinances, rules,
regulations, comprehensive plans and comprehensive plan components
which affect it. The Town Plan Commission shall, within 30 days from
the date of filing of the map, recommend approval, conditional approval
or rejection of the map, and shall transmit the map along with its
recommendation to the Town Board.
E. The Town Board shall approve, approve conditionally, or reject such
map within 60 days from the date of filing of the map unless the time
is extended by agreement with the subdivider. If the map is rejected,
the reason shall be stated in the minutes of the meeting and a written
statement forwarded to the subdivider. If the map is approved, the
Town Board shall cause the Town Clerk to so certify on the face of
the original map and return the map to the subdivider.
F. The subdivider shall record the map with the Register of Deeds of Waukesha County as set forth in §
265-18 below.
