As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
Each governmental body having authority to approve or reject
a preliminary or final plat or certified survey map. Approving authorities
are set forth in § 236.10 of the Wisconsin Statutes.
Any agency, other than an objecting agency, to which a plat
or certified survey map may be submitted for review and comment. An
advisory agency may give advice to the Village and suggest that certain
changes be made to the plat or certified map, or it may suggest that
a plat or certified survey map be approved or denied. Suggestions
made by an advisory agency are not binding on the Village Board or
Plan Commission. Examples of advisory agencies include the Southeastern
Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC), school districts,
and local utility companies.
The agency created by the County Board and authorized by
statute to plan land use and to review subdivision plats and certified
survey maps.
An agency empowered to object to a subdivision plat pursuant
to Chapter 236 of the Wisconsin Statutes. The Village may not approve
any plat upon which an objection has been certified until the objection
has been satisfied. The objecting agencies include the Wisconsin Department
of Administration, the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional
Services if the land to be subdivided will be served by POWTS, the
Wisconsin Department of Transportation or the County Highway Department
if land to be subdivided abuts, respectively, a state or county trunk
highway or connecting highway or street, and the County Planning Agency.
(Note: Only if the plat is located in a village or city and the county
has adopted a policy requiring submission of a plat to the county
for review. The county is an approving agency for subdivisions located
in a town).

flowage, or wetland referred to an established datum plane or, where
such elevation is not available, the point or elevation on the bank
or shore up to which the presence and action of surface water is so
continuous as to leave a distinctive mark such as by erosion, destruction,
or prevention of terrestrial vegetation, predominance of aquatic vegetation,
or other easily recognized topographic, geologic, or vegetative characteristic.
A parcel of land, other than a buildable lot or block, so
designated on the plat, which is used to convey or reserve parcels
of land. Outlots may be created to restrict a lot that is unbuildable
due to high groundwater, steep slopes, or other physical constraints,
or to create common open space that may accommodate certain recreational
amenities and stormwater management facilities. Outlots may also be
parcels of land intended to be redivided into lots or combined with
lots or outlots in adjacent land divisions in the future for the purpose
of creating buildable lots. An outlot may be further created if a
lot fails to meet requirements for a POWTS, but which may be buildable
if public sewer is extended to the lot or land division.
Section 236.13(6) of the Wisconsin Statutes prohibits using
an outlot as a building site unless it complies with all the requirements
imposed for buildable lots. The Village will generally require that
any restrictions related to an outlot be included on the face of the
plat.

a recorded subdivision plat or certified survey map without changing
the exterior boundaries of said block, lot, or outlot is not a replat.
Changes to condominium plats, such as merging or removal of condominium
units, must meet the requirements of Chapter 703 of the Wisconsin
Statutes, and condominium plats may not be used nor are considered
a replat of a subdivision, certified survey map, or part thereof.

or
The act of division creates six or more parcels or building
sites, inclusive of the original remnant parcel, of any size by successive
divisions of any part of the original property within a period of

In accordance with § 236.34(1)(ar) of the Wisconsin
Statutes, the word "subdivision" does not include a division of land
that creates not more than 100 parcels, lots, or outlots, inclusive
of the original remnant parcel, on land that is zoned for commercial,
industrial, multifamily residential, or mixed-use development. (Note:
