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.

Environmental assessment checklist.[1]
(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 subdivision 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 § 371-10. 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 renewable 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.

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 at least 10 days 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 § 371-33).[1] 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 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 or the development plan based on its determination of conformance with the provisions of this chapter. 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.

B. 
The Plan Commission shall refer the preliminary plat or development plan to the Village Engineer, the Parks Committee, and all appropriate committees for comments and recommendations prior to making a recommendation to the Village Board.
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 10 days prior to the scheduled Plan Commission meeting, and shall be accompanied by five copies of the plat. The final plat may be for all or part of the preliminary plat. The Village Board shall refer the final plat to the Plan Commission for a recommendation that the final plat conforms to provisions of this chapter. The Plan Commission shall refer the plat to the Village Engineer and appropriate committees for comments and recommendations. After receipt of these comments and recommendations, the Plan Commission shall make a determination and forward its recommendation to the Village Board. Upon determining that the final plat meets the requirements of this chapter and any additional requirements, has been submitted within six months from the approval date of the preliminary plat, and all preliminary plat conditions have been met, the Village Board shall approve the final plat within 60 days of the date all required information has been received by the Board. 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 at least 10 days prior to the regular meeting of the Plan Commission. The Plan Commission shall, within 60 days of the filing, approve, approve conditionally, or reject the map and shall notify the subdivider of its decision. When the certified survey map involves the dedication of streets or other public areas to the Village as required in § 371-14 of this chapter, the Village Board shall also approve the map. The subdivider shall record the map with the applicable county register of deeds within 30 days of its approval by the Plan Commission and any other approving agencies. Failure to do so shall necessitate reapproval of the map by the Plan Commission. To the extent reasonably practicable, the certified survey plat 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.
