This chapter shall not repeal, impair, or modify private easements
or covenants governing the use of lands except that it shall be applicable
to the extent that it imposes stricter regulations.
The City Planning Commission or its duly appointed staff shall
be responsible for the administration of this chapter, and in reviewing
applications for the subdivision of land, shall be guided by the considerations
and standards as set forth herein. All divisions of land within the
incorporated area of the City of Hayward shall be subject to the provisions
of this chapter and, where applicable, shall also be subject to other
City of Hayward ordinances, Wisconsin State Statutes and Wisconsin
Administrative Codes.
A platted subdivision, in compliance with Chapter 236 of the
Wisconsin Statutes, shall be required where the act of division:
A. Creates five or more parcels or building sites of 1 1/2 acres
each or less in area;
B. Creates five or more parcels or building sites of 1 1/2 acres
each or less in area, by successive divisions within a period of five
years.
Whenever a division of land is proposed, but of an insufficient
number of lots or lots of a size such that a platted subdivision is
not required, in lieu of a platted subdivision, such division of land
shall be accomplished by a certified survey in compliance with the
provisions of § 236.34, Wis. Stats., and shall meet the
following standards:
A. Certified survey standards.
(1) Section
505-5A, Preliminary meeting, and §
505-5B, Data required for preliminary meeting, will be required, except that at the end of the preliminary meeting the City Planning Commission shall approve, approve conditionally, or reject the preliminary certified survey plan and shall notify the owner or his agent and the City Clerk/Treasurer, in writing, or such approval, conditional approval, or rejection and of any improvements that will be required.
(2) Conditions for §
505-5E, Stage development, shall be met.
(3) All conditions under §
505-5G, Final plat data and design standards, and the subsections therein, shall be met where applicable.
(4) The final certified survey map shall be presented to the City Clerk/Treasurer
or his Deputy, for approval, and if said map conforms to the conditions
for approval and installation of improvements as set forth by the
City Planning Commission, it shall be so approved.
(5) No certified survey map, within the incorporated area of the City
of Hayward, shall be eligible for recording unless it is approved
by the City Clerk/Treasurer or his Deputy.
The Planning Commission may require that suitable sites be dedicated
or reserved for future public uses such as parks, playgrounds, and
open spaces. In locating such sites, considerations shall be given
in preserving scenic and historical sites, stands of fine trees, marshes,
and shorelines. Reservation of land for public acquisition shall be
for a period not to exceed three years.
Subdivisions prior to approval of the final plat, the applicant
shall pay to the City Clerk/Treasurer as a fee for checking and verifying
a plat, a sum amount to be determined by the Planning Commission.
Any person who shall violate any of the provisions of this chapter
shall forfeit not more than $50 for each violation plus costs of prosecution.
Each day that a violation of this chapter continues shall constitute
a separate and distinct offense and is subject to forfeiture as such.
In addition thereto, no construction or improvements on land subdivided
in violation of this chapter shall be allowed. Any sale or transfer
or lands subdivided in violation of this chapter shall be deemed void.
