Prior to filing an application for approval of a preliminary subdivision plat, condominium plat, or certified survey map, the subdivider shall consult with the Plan Commission and/or its staff in order to obtain their advice and assistance. A conceptual plan of the proposed subdivision, condominium, or certified survey map shall be brought by the applicant to the meeting. This consultation is intended to inform the subdivider of the purpose and objectives of these regulations, the comprehensive plan or components thereof, and duly adopted plan implementation ordinances of the Village and to otherwise assist the subdivider in planning the development. In so doing, both the subdivider and Plan Commission may reach mutual conclusions regarding the general objectives of the proposed development and its possible effects on the neighborhood and community, and the subdivider will gain a better understanding of the subsequent required procedures.
[2-28-2022 by Ord. No. 08-2022]

The Village Clerk shall, within two normal working days after filing, transmit an electronic copy of the preliminary plat to the County Planning Agency.
(b) 
The Village Clerk shall also transmit, within two normal working days after filing, an electronic copy of the preliminary plat to the Public Works Director, Community Development Director, and Fire Chief, for review and recommendations concerning matters within their jurisdiction. The recommendations of Village officials shall be transmitted to the Plan Commission within 30 days from the date the plat is received.
(c)

One copy each of the plat and letter shall be placed in the Plan Commission's permanent file.
(d) 
Failure of the Village Board to act within 90 days shall constitute an approval of the plat as filed, unless the review period is extended by written mutual consent.
(e) 
Approval or conditional approval of a preliminary plat shall not constitute automatic approval of the final plat, except that if the final plat is submitted within 36 months after the last required approval of the preliminary plat and conforms substantially to the preliminary plat, including any conditions of that approval, and to local plans and ordinances, the final plat shall be entitled to approval as provided in § 236.11(1)(b) of the Wisconsin Statutes. An approved preliminary plat shall be deemed an expression of approval or conditional approval of the layout submitted, and used as a guide to the preparation of the final plat, which will be subject to further consideration by the Plan Commission and Village Board at the time of its submission. The Village Board may extend the time for submission of the final plat. See § 74-3.4(d) pertaining to partial platting or phasing.

(d) 
Partial platting. The final plat may, if permitted by the Plan Commission, constitute only that portion of the approved preliminary plat that the subdivider proposes to record at that time; however, it is required that each phase be final platted and designated as a phase of the approved preliminary plat.
[2-28-2022 by Ord. No. 08-2022]
(a) 
Submission. If the final plat is not submitted within 36 months of the last required approval of the preliminary plat, the Village Board may refuse to approve the final plat or may extend the time for submission of the final plat, as provided in § 236.11(1)(b) of the Wisconsin Statutes.

(e) 
The Village Board shall, in accordance with § 236.11(2) of the Wisconsin Statutes, within 60 days of the date of filing the original final plat with the Village Clerk, approve or reject such plat unless the review period is extended by written agreement with the subdivider. The Village Board may act on the plat at the same meeting at which the Plan Commission makes its recommendation.

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. One copy each of the plat and letter shall be placed in the Village Clerk's permanent file.

(f) 
Failure of the Village Board to act within 60 days, the time having not been extended by mutual agreement and no unsatisfied objections having been filed, and all fees payable by the subdivider having been paid, shall constitute approval of the final plat.
(g) 
Recordation. After the final plat has been approved by the Village Board and required improvements either installed or a contract and sureties insuring their installation is filed, the Village Clerk shall cause the certificate inscribed upon the plat attesting to such approval to be duly executed and the plat returned to the subdivider for recording with the County Register of Deeds at the subdivider's expense.

(d) 
Change boundaries. A certified survey map (CSM) may be used to change the boundaries of lots and outlots within a recorded plat or a recorded assessor's plat under § 70.27 of the Wisconsin Statutes if the reconfiguration does not result in a subdivision.
