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.
