[Ord. No. 599, § 1(11-41), 5-6-1997]
It is recommended that, prior to the filing of an application for the approval of a preliminary plat, the subdivider first inform the Village Clerk of the subdivider's plans and then consult with the Zoning Administrator and/or the Village engineer in order to obtain advice and assistance. All Village engineering fees incurred shall be billed to the property owner as set forth in § 70-12 of this Code. The consultation is neither formal nor mandatory; but is intended to inform the subdivider of the purpose and objectives of these regulations, the adopted regional or county comprehensive plans or adopted plan components, and duly adopted plan implementation ordinances of the Village, and to otherwise assist the subdivider in planning his/her development. In doing so, both the subdivider and the Village Zoning Administrator and/or Village engineers may reach mutual conclusions regarding the general program and objectives of the proposed development and its possible effects on the neighborhood and Village, and the subdivider will gain a better understanding of the subsequent required procedures.
[Ord. No. 599, § 1(11-42), 5-6-1997]
(a) 
Before submitting a final plat for approval, the subdivider shall prepare a preliminary plat and a letter of application. The preliminary plat shall be prepared in accordance with this chapter, and the subdivider shall file the application and an adequate number of copies of the plat with the Village Clerk at least 25 days prior to the meeting of the planning commission at which action is desired.

Two copies to the department of commerce, if the subdivision is not served by a public sewer and provision for such service has not been made;
(4) 
Two copies to the department of natural resources, if shorelands are contained within the proposed subdivision;
(5) 
Two copies to the Clerk of each adjoining town or Village, if the subdivision lies within the extraterritorial plat approval jurisdiction of the Village; and

(7) 
The Village Clerk shall, within two days after filing, transmit the copies of the map and letter of application to the planning commission members.
(c) 
The county park and planning commission, the department of transportation, the department of commerce, and the department of natural resources shall be hereinafter referred to as objecting authorities. These objecting authorities shall, within 20 days of the date of receiving their copies of the preliminary plat, notify the subdivider and all other approving and objecting agencies of any objections. If there are no objections, they shall so certify on the face of the copy of the plat and shall return that copy to the planning commission. If an objecting agency fails to act within 20 days, it shall be deemed to have no objection to the plat.
(d) 
The Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission is an advisory planning agency created pursuant to W.S.A., § 66.945 for the purpose of serving the County of Waukesha and its planning commissions, municipal boards or planning commissions, and state agencies having jurisdiction under provisions of this chapter. The Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission shall, within 20 days of the date of receiving their copies of the preliminary plat, notify the subdivider and all other approving and objecting agencies of their findings and recommendations with respect to conformance of the proposed subdivision with adopted regional comprehensive plans or plan components and any other advisory recommendations as may be deemed appropriate.
(e) 
The planning commission shall transmit a copy of the map to the Village Board, and other interested planning commissions, or departments, for their review and recommendations concerning matters within their jurisdiction. The recommendations shall be transmitted to the planning commission within 20 days from the date the map is filed. The map shall be reviewed by the planning commission for conformance with this chapter and all ordinances, rules, regulations, adopted regional and Village comprehensive plans, or adopted plan components which affect it. The planning commission shall, within 45 days from the date of filing of the map, recommend approval, conditional approval, or rejection of the map, and shall transmit the map along with its recommendations to the Village Board.
(f) 
The Village Board shall approve conditionally or reject such map within 60 days from the date of filing of the map, unless the time is extended by agreement with the subdivider. If the map is rejected, the reasons shall be stated in the minutes of the meeting and a written statement forwarded to the subdivider. If the map is approved, the Village Board shall cause the Village Clerk to so certify on the face of the original map and return the map to the subdivider.
