General. A preliminary plat shall be required for all subdivisions
and shall be based upon a survey by a land surveyor registered in
this state. A preliminary plat shall be prepared on paper of good
quality, capable of clearly legible reproduction at a scale of not
more than 100 feet to the inch and shall show correctly on its face
the following information:
Location of the proposed subdivision by government lot, quarter-quarter
section, township, range, county and state and a location map showing
the relationship between the plat and its surrounding area and existing
streets.
The 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 such area is proposed for immediate development.
The subdivider may elect to submit a development plan in lieu of a
preliminary plat for that part of the land not to be included in the
final plat, if the total contiguous area owned or controlled by the
subdivider is greater than 80 acres.
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.
Contours at vertical intervals of not more than two feet where average
slope is less than 5%, or five feet where slope is 5% or greater.
Elevation shall be marked on such contours based upon USGS data where
available and upon the best available data in all other cases.
Water elevations of adjoining lakes and streams at the date of the
survey and approximate high and low water elevations bases upon USGS
data where available and upon the best available data in all other
cases.
Location, right-of-way width and names of all existing or proposed
streets, alleys or other public ways; easements, Military Ridge Trail
and utility rights-of-way; and all section and quarter-section lines
within the exterior boundaries of the plat or immediately adjacent
thereto.
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, based
upon or established by the best available data.
Location, size and invert elevation of any existing sanitary or storm
sewers, culverts and drain pipes; the location of manholes, catch
basins, hydrants, power and telephone poles; 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 their directions and distance from the tract,
size and invert elevations.
Locations of all existing property boundary lines, structures, drives,
streams and watercourses, lakes, marshes, rock outcrops, wooded areas,
the Military Ridge Trail and other similar significant features within
the tract being subdivided or immediately adjacent thereto.
When requested by the Village, a draft of a protective covenant
whereby the subdivider proposes to regulate land use in the subdivision
and otherwise protect the proposed development.
Street plans and profiles, sanitary sewer, water main and storm sewer
and profiles. Where required, the subdivider shall provide street,
sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and water main plans and profiles showing
existing ground surface of the proposed center lines, right-of-way
lines and building setback lines, including extensions for a reasonable
distance beyond the limits of the proposed subdivision. All elevations
shall be based upon USGS data and profiles shall meet the approval
of the Village Engineer.
Testing. The Village Engineer may require that borings and soundings
be made in specific areas to ascertain subsurface soil, rock and water
conditions, including depth to bedrock and depth to groundwater table.
Affidavit. The surveyor preparing the preliminary plat shall certify
on the face of the plat that it is a correct representation of all
existing land divisions and features and that he has fully complied
with the provisions of this chapter.
The development plan, as provided for in § 325-16, shall be submitted at a scale not more than 200 feet to one inch and shall show:
The subdivider shall cause to be set upon the final plat, arrows
indicating the direction of drainage flows for each property line
not fronting on a street, on all parcels as will result from the grading
of the site, the construction of the required public improvements
or which are existing drainage flows and will remain. The arrows shall
be accompanied on the plat with the following note:
Arrows indicate the direction of drainage. Drainage patterns
shall be maintained by the lot owner, unless written approval for
modification is obtained from the Village.
The certified survey map shall comply with the provisions of
Wis. Stats., § 236.34, and this chapter.
