A final plat prepared by a registered land surveyor shall be
required for all subdivisions within the Village and the Village's
extraterritorial jurisdiction. It shall comply in all respects with
the requirements of Ch. 236, Wis. Stats.
The plat shall show correctly on its face, in addition to the
information required by § 236.20, Wis. Stats., the following:
A. Exact street width along the line of any obliquely intersecting street;
B. Railroad rights-of-way within and abutting the plat;
C. Minimum setback or building lines required by Village rules, regulations,
or ordinances;
D. Utility and drainage easements;
E. All lands dedicated for public use, reserved for future public acquisition,
or reserved for the common use of property owners within the plat;
F. Special restrictions required by the Village Plan Commission such
as those relating to points or areas of access control along public
ways, provision of planting screen areas, areas of fill or earthmoving
restrictions, or areas of land clearance restrictions.
All final plats shall meet all the surveying and monumenting
requirements of § 236.15, Wis. Stats.
The Village Engineer shall examine all final plats within the
Village and, where appropriate, make field checks for the accuracy
and closure of survey, accuracy of topographic data, the proper kind
and location of monuments, and the legibility and completeness of
the drawing. In addition:
A. Maximum error of closure before adjustment of the division shall
not exceed, in horizontal distance or position, the ratio of one part
in 10,000, nor in azimuth, four seconds of arc per interior angle.
If field measurements exceed this maximum, new field measurements
shall be made until a satisfactory closure of the field measurements
has been obtained. The survey of the exterior boundary shall be adjusted
to form a closed geometric figure.
B. All street, block and lot dimensions shall be computed as closed
geometric figures based upon the control provided by the closed exterior
boundary survey. If field checks disclose an error for any interior
line of the plat greater than the ratio of one part in 3,000, or an
error in measured angle greater than one minute of arc for any angle
where the shorter side forming the angle is 300 feet or longer, necessary
corrections shall be made. Where the shorter side of a measured angle
is less than 300 feet in length, the error shall not exceed the value
of one minute multiplied by the quotient of 300, divided by the length
of the shorter side; however, such error shall not in any case exceed
five minutes of arc.
C. Where the plat is located within or adjacent to a United States Public
Land Survey one-quarter section the corners of which have been relocated,
monumented, and coordinated by the county, the Village, or the Southeastern
Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission, the tie required by § 236.20(3)(b),
Wis. Stats., shall be expressed in terms of grid bearing and distance;
and the material and state plane coordinates of the monument marking
the relocated section or quarter corner to which the plat is tied
shall be indicated on the plat. The grid bearing and distance of the
tie shall be determined by a closed survey meeting the error of closure
as specified in this section for the survey of the exterior boundaries
of the subdivision.
D. Where the plat is located within a United States Public Land Survey
one-quarter section, the corners of which have not been relocated,
monumented and coordinated by the county, the Village, or the Southeastern
Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission, both ends of each property
boundary line shall be tied to the nearest one-quarter corner and
as required by Ch. 236, Wis. Stats.
Where the plat is located within or immediately adjacent to
a United States Public Land Survey one-quarter section the corners
of which have been relocated, monumented, and coordinated by the county,
the Village, or the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission,
the plat shall be tied directly to one of the section or quarter corners
so relocated, monumented, and coordinated. The exact grid bearing
and distance of such tie shall be determined by field measurements,
and the material and state plane coordinates of the monument marking
the relocated section or quarter corner to which the plat is tied
shall be indicated on the plat. All distances and bearings shall be
referenced to the state coordinate system, south zone, and adjusted
to the county's control survey.
All final plats shall provide all the certificates required
by § 236.21, Wis. Stats., and, in addition, the surveyor
shall certify that he has fully complied with all the provisions of
this chapter.
