No platting of any property shall hereafter be accepted by said Village unless the same conforms substantially to the proposed plan of platting heretofore made by the Village Engineer of Shorewood and approved by the Village Board, a copy of which said general scheme of platting is hereto annexed and made a part hereof.
In general, the minimum requirements for the subdivision of land and the laying out of streets and other public spaces shall be as follows:
A. All plans submitted for approval shall be in triplicate, drawn to a scale of not more than 100 feet to the inch, and shall be clearly and neatly drawn. Preliminary plans may be first submitted before the final plans are prepared.
B. All final plans shall show the proposed street lines, lot lines, building lines and all property or subdivision boundaries. They shall show, in accordance with an accurate land survey, the controlling points and lines around and within the subdivision itself and also, by distance, bearings and angles, the relation of such controlling points and lines to the other controlling survey points within or near the Village of Shorewood. All survey monuments shall be indicated, and there shall be at least one permanent monument placed at each property corner of the subdivided area, at least one at each street intersection. Such monuments shall be placed when the surveys are made and shall consist of one-inch iron pipe driven at least two feet into the ground and preferably imbedded in concrete.
C. Sufficient topography shall be shown to indicate the natural drainage and the probable finished grade of streets. All existing and proposed streets and alleys and other public spaces shall be shown, with the width and type of pavement or surfacing, and all other important features. Sufficient information shall be drawn to scale on the plans to indicate the relation of the proposed streets and other public spaces to the present street system of the Village and also to the official Village plan, when and after such Village plan has been adopted.
D. The dimensions of all lots, and subdivisions and resubdivisions of all lots, shall be shown.
E. The proposed use of each lot, or group of lots, or subdivisions shall be indicated.
F. The use of each lot, or group of lots, or subdivisions shall be indicated.
G. The North point and scale shall be shown, and the name and address of the petitioner and of the engineer or surveyor shall be given on each plan.
H. Whenever improvements, such as those named in §
470-2A of this article, are proposed within any such subdivision or in any such street or other space, detailed plans, profiles and at least outline specifications of such improvements shall be likewise submitted in triplicate to the Village Board. Such plans and specifications shall show or indicate every essential detail of such improvements.
In subdividing property, due consideration shall be given to the location of parks, playgrounds and schools.
A copy of the subdivider's sale contract showing restrictions shall be furnished the Village Board of Trustees before final approval of the subdivision plan. Such contract shall relate that the lot or lots contracted for are subject to Chapter
535, Zoning, Chapter
225, Building Construction, and this article of the Village Code.
The subdivider shall furnish to the Village Board of Trustees a valid dedication of all streets and other public spaces to be dedicated and all easements provided by the subdivision plan or plans.
Except where a penalty is otherwise prescribed, the penalty for violation of any provision of this article shall be as set forth in §
115-1 of the Village Code.
In the case of a division of land, which division does not create a subdivision as defined by Ch. 236, Wis. Stats., no lot shall be divided without the express permission of the Village Board. Permission to divide a lot may be denied by the Village Board:
A. If such denial is recommended by the Village Plan Commission, after a majority of the members of such Commission have viewed the site of the proposed division and the surrounding neighborhood, and such Commission has found as a fact by at least a majority vote that the lot or lots resulting from such division would be so at variance in width, area or shape with the lots in the immediate neighborhood or with the character of the applicable district in which the lot is located, or any ordinance amendatory thereof or supplementary thereto, as to cause a substantial depreciation in the property values of said neighborhood within said applicable district; or
B. Without recommendation of such denial by the Village Plan Commission, if after a majority of the members of such Village Board have viewed the site of the proposed division and the surrounding neighborhood, and such Village Board has found as a fact by at least a majority vote that the lot or lots resulting from such division would be so at variance in width, area or shape with the lots in the immediate neighborhood or with the character of the applicable district in which the lot or lots are located, or any ordinance amendatory thereof or supplementary thereto, as to cause a substantial depreciation in the property values of said neighborhood within the applicable district.
Following approval, the certified survey map and fee for recording of the same in the office of the Register of Deeds of Milwaukee County shall be filed with the Village Clerk.
The provisions of this article shall not apply to:
A. Transfers of interests in land by will or pursuant to court order.
B. Leases for a term not to exceed 10 years, mortgages or easements.
C. The sale or exchange of parcels of land between owners of adjoining property if additional lots are not thereby created and the lots resulting are not reduced below the minimum sizes required by this Code or other applicable laws.
D. Any division made prior hereto in a written contract of sale in full force and effect on the effective date of this article.
E. Such other divisions exempted by ordinance.
No permit shall be issued by any governing official or employee of the Village of Shorewood for the construction of any building, structure or improvement to land or any lot within a subdivision or other land division as defined herein or for the installation of any utility in connection therewith until all the requirements of this article have been fully complied with.
