A certified survey map prepared by a professional land surveyor
shall be required for all minor land divisions and shall:
When it is proposed to divide land within the Town into not
more than four parcels or building sites, any one of which is 20 acres
or less in area, or when it is proposed to divide a block, lot, or
outlot within a recorded subdivision plat into not more than four
parcels or building sites without changing the boundaries of said
block, lot, or outlot, the subdivider shall subdivide by use of a
certified survey map. The certified survey map shall include all parcels
of land 20 acres or less in area and may, at the owners' discretion,
include any other parcels containing more than 20 acres. The subdivider
shall prepare the certified survey map in accordance with this chapter
and shall file an adequate number of copies of the map and the letter
of application with the Town Clerk at least 15 days prior to the meeting
of the Plan Commission at which first consideration is desired.
B.
The Town Clerk shall receive the formal filing of a certified survey
map, including review and recording fees, and transmit copies of the
certified survey map to the Plan Commission. In addition to required
paper copies, the submittal shall include electronic versions of all
documents in PDF format.
C.
The Plan Commission shall review the certified survey map for conformance
with this chapter and all other Town ordinances, rules, regulations,
comprehensive plans, and comprehensive plan components.
D.
The Plan Commission shall, within 90 days from the date of filing
of the Certified Survey Map, recommend approval, conditional approval,
or rejection of the certified survey map, and shall transmit the certified
survey map along with its recommendations to the Town Board.
E.
The Town Board shall approve, approve conditionally and, thereby,
require resubmission of a corrected map, or reject such certified
survey map within 90 days from the date of filing of the Certified
Survey Map unless the time is extended by mutual written agreement
with the subdivider. If the certified survey map is approved, the
Town Board shall cause the Town Clerk to so certify on the face of
the original certified survey map.
F.
Recordation. The Town Clerk shall cause to be recorded the approved
certified survey map with the County Register of Deeds within 12 months
after the date of the last approval and within 36 months after the
date of the first approval. The subdivider shall be responsible for
the recording fees.
In addition to the requirements of § 236.34, Wis.
Stats., the certified survey map shall show correctly on its face
the following:
A.
All existing buildings, watercourses, drainage ditches, and other
features pertinent to proper land division.
B.
Setbacks or building lines if required by the Plan Commission in
accordance with the guidelines set forth in this chapter.
C.
Utility and drainage easements.
D.
All lands dedicated for public use or reserved for future acquisition.
E.
Date of the certified survey map.
F.
Graphic scale and North point.
G.
Name and address of the owner, subdivider and surveyor.
H.
Existing and proposed contours at vertical intervals of not more
than two feet where the slope of the ground surface is less than 10%,
and of not more than four feet where the slope of the ground surface
is 10% or more. Elevations shall be marked on such contours based
on National Geodetic Datum of 1929 (mean sea level). This requirement
may be waived if the parcel or parcels created are fully developed.
I.
All proposed streets, roads, or highways within 300 feet of the boundaries
of the parcels created by the minor land division.
J.
Floodplain limits of the 100-year-recurrence-interval flood, or where
such data is not available, a line lying a vertical distance of five
feet above the elevation of the maximum flood of record.
K.
Location of soil boring tests. The Plan Commission, upon recommendation
of the Town Engineer, may require that borings and tests be made in
specified areas to ascertain subsurface soil, rock, and water conditions,
including depth to bedrock and depth to groundwater table. Where the
land division will not be served by public sanitary sewer service,
the requirements of Chapters SPS 383 and SPS 385 of the Wisconsin
Administrative Code for soil borings shall be met. The location of
all soil borings shall be shown on the certified survey map and two
copies of all test results shall accompany the map. Where soil mottling
or saturated conditions are observed in the soil profile, the Plan
Commission may prohibit the future construction of principal buildings.
L.
Location of soil percolation tests where required by § SPS
385.60, Wis. Adm. Code, taken at the location and depth in which soil
absorption waste disposal systems are to be installed. The number
of such tests initially made shall not be less than one test per three
acres or one test per lot, whichever is greater. The results of such
tests shall be submitted along with the preliminary plat.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. III)]
M.
The entire area contiguous to the proposed certified survey map owned
or controlled by the subdivider shall be included on the certified
survey map even though only a portion of said area is proposed for
immediate development. The Plan Commission may waive this requirement
where it is unnecessary to fulfill the purposes and intent of this
code and where, in its opinion, severe hardship would result from
strict application thereof.
Where the certified survey map is located within a U.S. Public
Land Survey one-quarter section, the corners of which have been relocated,
monumented, and coordinated by Washington County, Town of West Bend,
or the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission, the certified
survey map shall be tied directly to two of the section or quarter
corners so relocated, monumented, and coordinated. The exact grid
bearing and distance of such ties shall be determined by field measurements,
and the material and Wisconsin state plane coordinate of the monument
marking the relocated section or quarter corners to which the certified
survey map is tied shall be indicated on the certified survey map.
All distances and bearings shall be referenced to the Wisconsin Coordinate
System, South Zone, and adjusted to the county's control survey.
The surveyor shall certify on the face of the certified survey
map that he or she has fully complied with all the provisions of this
chapter. The Plan Commission and Town Board, after a recommendation
by the reviewing agencies, shall each certify its approval on the
face of the certified survey map. Dedication of streets and other
public areas shall require, in addition, the owner's certificate and
the mortgagee's certificate in substantially the same form as required
by § 236.21(2)(a), Wis. Stats.
The Town Clerk shall cause the certified survey map to be recorded
with the County Register of Deeds only after the certificates of the
Plan Commission and Town Board and the surveyor are placed on the
face of the certified survey map and after all applicable fees have
been paid in accordance with this chapter.
Divisions of land creating lots or parcels greater than 20 acres shall not be required to submit a plat or certified survey map, but shall be required to present the proposed land division to the Plan Commission for approval recorded in the minutes of the meeting, with the exception of sales or exchanges of parcels of land between owners of adjoining property which do not create additional lots or create a lot or lots noncompliant with Chapter 325, Zoning, of this Code.
