A final plat prepared by a professional land surveyor shall
be required for all subdivisions. 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 Ch. 236, Wis. Stats., and § 251-20 and Articles VII and VIII of this chapter, the following:
A.
Exact length and bearing of the center line of all streets.
B.
Exact street width along the line of any obliquely intersecting street.
C.
Railroad rights-of-way within and abutting the plat.
D.
Setbacks or building lines greater than those required by the municipal
ordinances if deemed necessary by the Plan Commission or governing
body.
E.
Utility and/or drainage easements.
F.
All lands reserved for future public acquisition or reserved for
the common use of property owners within the plat.
G.
Special restrictions required by the Plan Commission or governing
body relating to access control along public ways, delineation of
floodland limits or to the provision of planting strips.
H.
Blocks, if designated, shall be consecutively numbered or lettered
in alphabetical order. The blocks in numbered additions to subdivisions
bearing the same name shall be numbered or lettered consecutively
through the several additions. The exact length and bearing of the
boundary lines of all blocks shall be shown.
I.
Lots in each block shall be consecutively numbered. Outlots, if approved,
shall be numbered within each block. The square footage of each lot
and outlot shall be shown on the plat, and in addition thereto the
plat shall show the exact acreage for each lot or outlot to the nearest
1/100 acre, such indicator to be located within the boundary of each
lot or outlot on the plat.
J.
Meander lines by distance and bearings shall be shown with the distance
between the point of intersection of such meander lines with lot lines
and the ordinary high-water mark also shown.
K.
Septic systems and driveways with preplanned location shall be shown
on the plat.
L.
Lots to be served by joint wells, along with the easements providing
for said service, shall be shown on the plat. A joint well agreement
shall be recorded.
The Plan Commission or governing body may require that deed
restrictions be filed with the final plat.
The Municipal Engineer shall examine all final plats within
the municipality and may make, or cause to be made by a professional
land surveyor under the supervision or direction of the Municipal
Engineer, field checks for the accuracy and closure of survey, 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 survey of the exterior
boundaries of the subdivision 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 is obtained. When 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 5,000, 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.
The governing body shall receive the results of the Municipal Engineer's
examination prior to approving the final plat.
All final plats shall meet the surveying and monumenting requirements
of Ch. 236, Wis. Stats.
Where the plat is located within a U.S. Public Land Survey quarter
section, the corners of which have been relocated, monumented and
coordinated by the municipality, Dodge County or the Southeastern
Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission, the plat shall be tied directly
to one or more 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 Wisconsin
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 Wisconsin
Coordinate System, South Zone, and adjusted to the municipality's
control survey.
All final plats shall provide all the certificates required
by Ch. 236, Wis. Stats., and, in addition, the surveyor shall certify
that he has fully complied with all the provisions of this chapter.
The final plat shall only be recorded with the County Register
of Deeds after the certificates of the Wisconsin Department of Administration,
of the Board, and of the surveyor, and those certificates required
by Ch. 236, Wis. Stats., are placed on the face of the plat. The plat
shall be recorded within 12 months of its approval by the governing
body. Failure to record said final plat within 12 months of the date
of the last required approval or within 36 months of the date of the
first approval shall require the subdivider to have to recommence
the entire procedure in this chapter, unless the governing body and
affected approving and objecting authorities extend or renew their
approvals of the final plat and the final plat is recorded within
the time allowed by the extension or renewal.
An identical reproducible copy (on stable drafting film at least
four mils thick) along with the recording data shall be placed on
file with the Town Clerk.
The Town Clerk or his/her designee shall place upon a copy of
the final plat on each lot shown on said plat the correct legal house
number assigned to that lot in conformity with the grid system in
effect in Dodge County and any local ordinances.
