A preliminary plat shall be required for all subdivisions and shall be based upon a survey by a registered land surveyor, and the plat shall be prepared on tracing cloth, reproducible drafting film, or paper of good quality at a map scale of not more than 100 feet to the inch and shall show correctly on its face the following information:
A. 
Title or name under which the proposed subdivision is to be recorded. Such title shall not be the same as 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.
B. 
Property location of the proposed subdivision by government lot, quarter-section, township, range, county and state.
C. 
General location sketch showing the location of the subdivision within the United States Public Land Survey section.
D. 
Date, graphic scale and North arrow.
E. 
Names and addresses of the owner, subdivider and land surveyor preparing the plat.
F. 
The entire area contiguous to the proposed plat owned or controlled by the subdivider, even though only a portion of said area is proposed for immediate development. The Village Plan Commission may waive this requirement where it is unnecessary to fulfill the purposes and intent of this chapter and severe hardship would result from strict application thereof.
All preliminary plats shall show the following:
A. 
Exact length and bearing of the exterior boundaries of the proposed subdivision referenced to a corner established in United States Public Land Survey and the total acreage encompassed thereby.
B. 
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 five feet where the slope of the ground surface is 10% or more. Elevations shall be marked on such contours based on National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (mean sea level).
C. 
Water elevations of adjoining lakes and streams at the date of the survey and approximate high and low water elevations, all referred to mean sea level (1929) datum.
D. 
Floodplain limits and the contour line lying a vertical distance of two feet above the elevation of the one-hundred-year recurrence interval flood or, where such data is not available, five feet above the elevation of the maximum flood of record.
E. 
Location, right-of-way width and names of all existing streets, alleys or other public ways, easements, railroad and utility rights-of-way and all section and quarter-section lines within the exterior boundaries of the plat or immediately adjacent thereto.
F. 
Type, width and elevation of any existing street pavements within the exterior boundaries of the plat or immediately adjacent thereto, together with any legally established center-line elevations, all to mean sea level (1929 datum).
G. 
Location and names of any adjacent subdivisions, parks and cemeteries and owners of record of abutting unplatted lands.
H. 
Location, size and invert elevation of any existing sanitary or storm sewers, culverts and drainpipes, the location of manholes, catch basins, hydrants, and power and telephone poles, and the location and size of any existing water and gas mains within the exterior boundaries of the plat or immediately adjacent thereto. If no sanitary or storm sewers or water mains are located on or immediately adjacent to the lands being platted, the nearest such sewers or water mains which might be extended to serve such lands shall be indicated by their direction and distance from the nearest exterior boundary of the plat and their size and invert elevations.
I. 
Locations of all existing property boundary lines, structures, drives, streams and watercourses, marshes, rock outcrops, wooded areas, railroad tracks and other similar significant natural or man-made features within the tract being subdivided or immediately adjacent thereto.
J. 
Location, width and names of all proposed streets and public rights-of-way, such as alleys and easements.
K. 
Approximate dimensions of all lots, together with proposed lot and block numbers.
L. 
Location and approximate dimensions and size of any sites to be reserved or dedicated for parks, playgrounds, drainageways, or other public use or which are to be used for group housing, shopping centers, church sites, or other private uses not requiring lotting.
M. 
Approximate radii of all curves.
N. 
Existing zoning on and adjacent to the proposed subdivision.
O. 
Any proposed lake and stream access, with a small drawing clearly indicating the location of the proposed subdivision in relation to the access.
P. 
Any proposed lake and stream improvement or relocation.
Q. 
Soil type, slope, and boundaries as shown on the detailed operational soil survey maps prepared by the United States Soil Conservation Service.
R. 
Location of soil boring tests, where required by Ch. COMM 85, Wis. Adm. Code, made to a depth of six feet, unless bedrock is at a lesser depth. The number of such tests shall be adequate to portray the character of the soil and the depths of bedrock and groundwater from the natural undisturbed surface. To accomplish this purpose, a minimum of one test per three acres shall be made initially. The results of such tests shall be submitted along with the preliminary plat.[1]

Editor's Note: Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. II).
S. 
Location of soil percolation tests where required by Ch. COMM 85, 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.[2]

The Village Plan Commission, upon recommendation of the Village Engineer, may require that the subdivider provide street plans and profiles showing 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 based upon mean sea level (1929) datum, and plans and profiles shall meet the approval of the Village Engineer.
The Village Plan Commission, upon the recommendation of the Village Engineer, may require that borings and soundings be made in specified areas to ascertain subsurface soil, rock and water conditions, including depth to bedrock and depth to groundwater table. The Village does not guarantee, warrant, or represent that only those soils tested and shown to be unsuited for specific uses are the only unsuited soils within the Village and hereby asserts that there is no liability on the part of the Village Board of Trustees, its agencies, or employees for sanitation problems or structural damages that may occur as a result of reliance upon, and conformance with, this chapter.

The Village Plan Commission, upon the recommendation of the Village Engineer, after determining from a review of the preliminary plat that the soil, slope, vegetation, and drainage characteristics of the site are such as to require substantial cutting, clearing, grading, and other earthmoving operations in the development of the subdivision or otherwise entail a severe erosion hazard, may require the subdivider to provide soil erosion and sedimentation control plans and specifications. Such plans shall generally follow the guidelines and standards set forth in the United States Conservation Service Technical Guide, adopted by the Ozaukee County Land Conservation Committee, and shall be in accordance with standards set forth in § 168-66 of this chapter.
The Village Plan Commission shall require submission of a draft of protective covenants, where a covenant is proposed, whereby the subdivider intends to regulate land use in the proposed subdivision and otherwise protect the proposed development. The covenants shall be subject to the review and the approval of the Village Attorney as to form.
The surveyor preparing the preliminary plat shall certify on the face of the plat that it is a correct representation of all existing land divisions and features and that he has fully complied with the provisions of this chapter.
