When it is proposed to divide land into 10 or more lots or building sites by successive division, the subdivider shall subdivide in accordance with the following procedures:
A. 
The subdivider shall have an initial consultation with the Town Plan Commission and any other people deemed necessary, including a sanitary district representative, Town Planner/Engineer, or County staff, before proceeding with platting procedures. The petitioner will be asked to submit a concept plan and meet with the Plan Commission on the site proposed for platting. The purpose of this consultation is to review the site together with the petitioner and establish the parameters, regulations and policies regarding the following issues:
(1) 
The suitability of the site for development;
(2) 
The accessibility of the site;
(3) 
The availability of public facilities (sewer, school, parks, water, etc.) and public services (police, fire, etc.);
(4) 
Soil conditions and drainage patterns;
(5) 
The effect of the proposed development on any contemplated improvements;
(6) 
Zoning of the site and regulations that apply;
(7) 
Required public improvements; and
(8) 
Consistency with the Town's Land Use Plan.
B. 
The subdivider shall submit a concept plan on a topographic survey map indicating the nature of the above conditions. The initial concept plan should take into account the intent of this chapter as well as any other reviewing agencies' comments obtained in contacts with the appropriate agencies. Additional meetings may be required if the concept plan needs to be significantly altered to meet the criteria identified in this chapter.
C. 
The concept plan will be reviewed as it relates to:
(1) 
Topography, based on a USGS quadrangle map;
(2) 
The improvements, designs, dedications, or reservations required by this chapter;
(3) 
Continuity to existing development within 300 feet of all boundaries;
(4) 
Regulations as set down by Ch. 236, Wis. Stats.;
(5) 
Consistency with the Town's Land Use Plan and any other Town ordinances and policies;
(6) 
An appropriate amount of conservation area based upon the zone in which it is located;
(7) 
For property within a Town Sanitary District, the proposed plat must be consistent with the Sanitary District's plans for providing sanitary sewer service, as determined by the Town Sanitary District, or in areas not served by public sanitary sewer, Winnebago County will issue permits for private sanitary sewer systems.
As part of the final plat submission, the Town requires the subdivider to provide a developer's agreement. An example of a developer's agreement is available from the Town Zoning Administrator. Such an agreement must be approved by the Town Board during the final plat review process. The petitioner will be obligated to pay all legal and professional fees associated with the Town's review and approval of the developer's agreement. Any fees that are part of the developer's agreement shall be paid prior to Town approval of the final plat.
A. 
At least 30 days prior to the Plan Commission meeting, the subdivider shall file with the Town Zoning Administrator the following items for preliminary plat review:
(1) 
Five full-size copies of a twenty-four-inch by thirty-six-inch scaled preliminary plat, plus one additional full-size copy for the City of Oshkosh or City of Neenah if the plat lies within one of the cities' extraterritorial plat review jurisdiction (within three miles of Oshkosh or Neenah).
(2) 
An eleven-inch by seventeen-inch or eight-and-one-half-inch by eleven-inch copy of the map for copying purposes.
(3) 
Application form (available from the Town Clerk or Zoning Administrator).
(4) 
A filing fee (on record in the Town Clerk's office).
B. 
Said filing must occur with the Town Zoning Administrator at least 30 days prior to the Plan Commission meeting. The subdivider should also file a copy with the utility companies (sanitary districts, if applicable, power company, telephone company, and cable company) having jurisdiction over the subject area so that required easements can be determined. A subdivision within a sanitary sewer service district and sewer service area must include district sanitary sewer service. A subdivision in a sanitary district but not in the sewer service area shall include a statement on the face of the plat that homeowners must connect to sanitary sewer, at their own expense, once it is installed in an abutting street right-of-way. This statement shall also be a separate recorded document and shall apply to future owners of the lots that are listed in the document.
C. 
Response from utility companies shall be submitted for informational purposes to the Town Zoning Administrator when the preliminary plat is filed.
D. 
Within 10 working days after filing, the Town Zoning Administrator shall transmit the following copies (as provided by the applicant):
(1) 
Five eleven-inch by seventeen-inch copies to the Plan Commission.
(2) 
One full-size copy to the City of Oshkosh or Neenah if within the affected City's extraterritorial plat review area.
(3) 
Three full-size copies to the Town Board.
(4) 
One full-size copy for meeting display and Clerk's copy.
(5) 
One full-size copy to the East Central Regional Planning Commission.
(6) 
One full-size copy to the Town Engineer/Planner.
E. 
The subdivider (developer) will be responsible for submitting the required copies to Winnebago County and state agencies that are responsible for reviewing the preliminary plat according to § 236.12, Wis. Stats. A copy of the transmittal letter shall be forwarded to the Town Zoning Administrator. State review comments returned to the subdivider shall be forwarded to the Town Zoning Administrator for inclusion in the Town's review. If no objections were made by state reviewing agencies, the subdivider is supplied with a state-certified copy. The subdivider must provide the Town with a copy of the state certification, indicating no objections were found. If an objecting agency fails to act within 30 days, it shall be deemed to have no objection to the plat.
F. 
The preliminary plat shall be reviewed by the Plan Commission for conformance with this chapter and all other ordinances, rules, regulations, and the Town Land Use Plan. The preliminary plat shall then be forwarded to the Town Board with a recommendation for approval or rejection. The Town Board is hereby designated as approving authority for all preliminary plats.
G. 
Within 90 days of the date of filing the preliminary plat with the Town Zoning Administrator (unless time is extended by mutual consent with the applicant), the Town Board shall approve, approve conditionally, or reject such plat, in accordance with § 236.11(1), Wis. Stats. Failure of the Town Board to act within 90 days shall constitute an approval. One copy of the plat shall be returned to the subdivider with the date and action endorsed thereon. If approved conditionally or rejected, a letter setting forth the conditions of approval or the reasons for rejection shall accompany the plat. A copy of the plat and letter shall be filed in the Town Zoning Administrator's office.
H. 
Approval or conditional approval of the preliminary plat by the Town Board shall be deemed an expression of approval or conditional approval of the proposed subdivision. If the final plat conforms substantially to the preliminary plat as approved, including any conditions of that approval, and to Town plans and ordinances, the Town shall approve the final plat if submitted within 24 months of the last required approval of the preliminary plat.
I. 
Because Winnebago County has the authority to review any subdivision within the Town, the subdivider shall comply with the most restrictive requirements of either the Town or County. If either the County or Town deems conditions to be unclear, a joint meeting could be requested by either entity to clarify the most restrictive conditions.
J. 
Approval or conditional approval of a preliminary plat does not constitute or bind the Town of Vinland to automatic approval of the final plat.
A. 
At least 30 days prior to the Plan Commission meeting, the subdivider shall file with the Town Zoning Administrator, the following items for the final plat review:
(1) 
One original copy and five copies of a twenty-four-inch by thirty-six-inch scaled final plat, plus one additional full-size copy for the City of Oshkosh or City of Neenah, if the plat lies within one of the Cities' extraterritorial plat review jurisdiction (within three miles of Oshkosh or Neenah).
(2) 
An eleven-inch by seventeen-inch or eight-and-one-half-inch by eleven-inch copy of the map for copying purposes.
(3) 
Application form (available from the Town Clerk or Zoning Administrator).
(4) 
A filing fee (on record in the Town Clerk's office).
(5) 
A developer's agreement.
B. 
Within 10 working days after filing, the Town Zoning Administrator shall transmit the following copies (as provided by the applicant):
(1) 
Five eleven-inch by seventeen-inch copies to the Plan Commission.
(2) 
One full-size copy to the City of Oshkosh or City of Neenah (if within the City's extraterritorial plat review area).
(3)

(5) 
One full-size copy for meeting display and Clerk's copy.

(7) 
One full-size copy to the Town's designated Engineer.
C. 
The subdivider (developer) will be responsible for submitting the required copies to Winnebago County and state agencies that are responsible for reviewing the final plat according to § 236.12, Wis. Stats. State review comments returned to the subdivider shall be forwarded to the Town Zoning Administrator for inclusion in the Town's review. If no objections were made by state reviewing agencies, the subdivider is supplied with a state-certified copy. The subdivider must provide the Town with a copy of the state certification, indicating no objections were found. If an objecting agency fails to act within 30 days, it shall be deemed to have no objection to the plat.
D. 
The final plat may, if permitted by the Town Board, constitute only that portion of the approved preliminary plat that the subdivider proposes to record at that time, with any conditions of approval. If the final plat is not submitted within 24 months of the last required approval of the preliminary plat, the Town Board may refuse to approve the final plat and may require the subdivider to resubmit a preliminary plat subject to § 361-22, unless the Town and land developer can reach an agreement as to extending the approval time.
E. 
Following a recommendation from the Plan Commission, the Town Board shall, within 60 days of the date of filing the original final plat with the Clerk, approve or reject such plat in accordance with § 236.11(2), Wis. Stats., unless the time is extended by agreement with the subdivider. If the plat is rejected, the reasons shall be stated in the minutes of the meeting and a written statement of the reasons forwarded to the subdivider with a copy to the Plan Commission. The Town Board may not approve the final plat unless the Clerk certifies on the face of the plat that the copies were forwarded to objecting agencies as required herein, the date thereof, and that no objections have been filed within 20 days or, if filed, have been met.
F. 
Failure of the Town Board to act within 60 days, with no time extensions, and no unsatisfied objections having been filed shall cause the plat to be approved [§ 236.11(2), Wis. Stats.].
Following final plat approval by the Town Board and required improvements either installed or a developer's agreement and sureties ensuring completion of installation are executed and filed, the Town Zoning Administrator shall cause the certificate to be inscribed upon the plat. The plat must be recorded in the Winnebago County Register of Deeds office within six months after the date of the last approval of the plat and within 24 months after the first approval.
