[2-28-2022 by Ord. No. 08-2022]
A preliminary plat shall be required for all subdivisions and shall be based on a survey by a professional land surveyor and the plat prepared on paper of good quality, as well as in a digital form compatible with Village digital requirements, at a scale no smaller than one inch equals 100 feet and shall show correctly on its face the following information:
(a) 
The preliminary plat shall be clearly noted and labeled on its face "Preliminary Plat."
(b) 
Inset map of the area concerned showing the general location of the proposed subdivision in relation to U.S. Public Land Survey section and quarter-section lines and abutting and nearby public streets and highways. The inset map shall be oriented on the sheet in the same direction as the main drawing.
(c) 
Description of the location of proposed subdivision by quarter section, township, range, county, and state.
(d) 
Title or name under which the proposed subdivision is to be recorded. Such title shall not be the same or similar to a previously approved and recorded plat, unless it is an addition to a previously recorded plat and is so stated on the plat.
(e) 
Date, graphic scale, and North arrow.
(f) 
Names and addresses of the owner, subdivider, and professional land surveyor preparing the plat.
(g) 
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 said area is proposed for immediate development. The Plan Commission may waive this requirement where it is deemed unnecessary to fulfill the purposes and intent of this Ordinance and undue hardship would result from strict application thereof.
[2-28-2022 by Ord. No. 08-2022]
In the absence of an adopted neighborhood unit development plan, the following site analysis information shall be inventoried and mapped at a scale no smaller than one inch equals 100 feet in sufficient detail, with brief descriptions if necessary, to allow for the proper evaluation of a preliminary plat. The site analysis map and accompanying descriptions shall be included with the submittal of the preliminary plat. The map(s) shall include:
(a) 
Existing and proposed lot lines and street and highway right-of-way lines.
(b) 
Topographic features, including existing contours within the exterior boundaries of the plat and extending to the centerline of adjacent public streets or highways, with preferably one-foot intervals but not more than two-foot intervals for slopes less than 12% and at no more than five-foot intervals for slopes 12% and greater. Elevations shall be marked on such contours, referenced to a vertical datum approved by the Public Works Director. Any rock outcrops, slopes of 12% or greater, ridge lines, and hilltops shall be noted.
(c) 
Hydrologic characteristics, including lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, creeks, drainage ditches, wetlands, floodplains, shoreland areas, and surface drainage patterns. The boundaries of wetlands shall be as delineated and mapped by the Wisconsin Wetland Inventory or more precise field identification.

(1) 
Where such floodplain data are not available, the floodplain boundaries and related stages shall be determined by a professional engineer retained by the subdivider and the sealed engineer's report providing the required data shall be subject to review and approval by the Public Works Director, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR), and FEMA. When approved accordingly, the Village floodplain zoning map shall be revised in accordance with the amendment provisions set forth in the Village Floodplain Zoning Ordinance to incorporate the new approved one-percent-annual-probability flood profile.
(d) 
Delineations of natural resource areas, including the boundaries of primary and secondary environmental corridors and isolated natural resource areas as identified by the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC), and the location and type of any rare or endangered species habitat.

The Public Works Director or Plan Commission may require that the subdivider provide street plans and profiles showing the existing ground surface and proposed and established street grades, including extensions for a reasonable distance beyond the limits of the proposed subdivision when requested. All elevations shall be referenced to a datum and the datum, plans, and profiles shall meet the approval of the Public Works Director.
[2-28-2022 by Ord. No. 08-2022]
(a) 
The Plan Commission, upon recommendation of the Public Works Director, may, in order to determine the suitability of specific areas for the construction of buildings and supporting roadways, require that soil borings and tests be made in specified areas to ascertain subsurface soil conditions and depths to bedrock and to the groundwater table. The number of such borings and tests shall be adequate to portray for the intended purpose the character of the soil and the depths to bedrock and groundwater from the undisturbed surface.
(b) 
Where a subdivision will not be served by public sanitary sewer, soil borings and tests shall be made to determine the suitability of the site for the use of POWTS. Such borings and tests shall meet the requirements of Chapters SPS 383, 384, and 385 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code and the Public Works Director may require additional soil borings and tests be made to determine the suitability of specific areas for POWTS. The location of the borings shall be shown on the preliminary plat and the findings, with respect to the suitability of the site for the use of POWTS, shall be set forth in a separate report submitted with the plat.
