[Amended 8-3-2020 by Ord. No. 20-22]
A final plat prepared by a Wisconsin professional
land surveyor shall be required for all subdivisions and large lot
subdivisions. Such plat shall comply in all respects with the requirements
of § 236.20, Wis. Stats., as amended from time to time,
and the provisions of this chapter. The final plat shall be submitted
in an electronic media format acceptable to the Village and compatible
with the Village's Geographic Information System format.
The final plat shall show correctly on its face,
in addition to the information required by § 236.20, Wis.
Stats., each of the following:
A.
Exact length and bearing of the center line of all
streets.
B.
Exact street width along the line of any obliquely
intersecting street.
C.
Setbacks or building lines required by the Village Board in accordance with the guidelines set forth in § 395-64 of this chapter.
D.
Utility and drainage easements.
E.
All lands to be dedicated or reserved for future public
acquisition or reserved for the common use of property owners within
the plat.
F.
All lands affected by special restrictions required
by the Village Board, such as those relating to access control along
public ways, the provision of planting strips or detention or retention
facilities.
G.
A copy of the final plat on an electronic media compatible with the Village's Geographic Information System pursuant to § 395-82A of this chapter shall be filed with the Village.
H.
Any other information required by the Village staff,
Village Plan Commission or Village Board.
The Village Board shall require that dedications
and easement restrictions, running with the land and enforceable by
the Village, be recorded with the final plat to accomplish the purposes
and intent of this chapter. A draft of the final plat shall first
be submitted to the Village staff for review, comment and addition
of the dedications and easements language prior to submittal to the
Village Plan Commission and Village Board for final approval.
A.
Examination; field checks. The Village staff shall
examine all final plats within the Village and may make, or cause
to be made by a Wisconsin professional land surveyor under the supervision
or direction of the Village Administrator, field checks for the accuracy
and closure of survey, the proper kind and location of monuments and
the legibility and completeness of the drawing.
[Amended 8-3-2020 by Ord. No. 20-22]
B.
Exterior boundaries. Maximum error of closure before
adjustment of the survey of the exterior boundaries shall not exceed,
in horizontal distance or position, the ratio of one part in 10,000
or, in azimuth, of four seconds of arc per interior angle. If field
measurements exceed this maximum, new field measurements shall be
made until a satisfactory closure is obtained. When a satisfactory
closure of the field measurements has been obtained, the survey of
the exterior boundary shall be adjusted to form a closed geometric
figure.
C.
Interior boundaries. All street, block and lot dimensions
shall be computed as closed geometric figures based upon the control
provided by the closed exterior boundary survey. If field checks disclose
an error for any interior line of the plat greater than the ratio
of one part in 5,000 or an error in measured angle greater than one
minute of arc for any angle where the shorter side forming the angle
is 300 feet or longer, necessary corrections shall be made. Where
the shorter side of a measured angle is less than 300 feet in length,
the error shall not exceed the value of one minute multiplied by the
quotient of 300 divided by the length of the shorter side; however,
such error shall not in any case exceed five minutes of arc.
D.
Engineer's examination. The Village Board shall receive
the results of the Village Engineer's examination prior to approving
the final plat.
All final plats shall satisfy all the surveying
and monumenting requirements of § 236.15, Wis. Stats., as
amended from time to time.
When the final plat is located within a United
States Public Land Survey quarter-section, the corners of which have
been relocated, monumented and coordinated by the Village of Pleasant
Prairie, Kenosha County or the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning
Commission, the plat shall be tied directly to one of the section
or quarter corners so relocated, monumented and coordinated. The exact
grid bearings and distances of such tie shall be determined by field
measurements, and the material and Wisconsin state plane coordinates
of the monument marking the relocated section or quarter corner to
which the plat is tied shall be indicated on the plat. All distances
and bearings shall be referenced to the Wisconsin Coordinate System,
South Zone, and adjusted to the Kenosha County control survey.
All final plats shall provide all the certificates
required by § 236.21, Wis. Stats., and, in connection with
the owner's or mortgagee's certificate, the owner shall submit, as
a condition of the Village Board's final approval of the final plat,
an appropriately updated abstract of title, commitment to issue a
policy of title insurance from a title insurance company, policy of
title insurance equal to the total amount of the letter of credit,
or a certificate of title from an abstracting company. In addition,
the surveyor shall certify that he has fully complied with all of
the provisions of this chapter.
[Amended 8-3-2020 by Ord. No. 20-22]
The final plat shall only be recorded with the
Kenosha County Register of Deeds after final approval by the Village
Board, after verification is provided that all outstanding taxes and
special assessments are paid in full, and after all required certificates
are attached to or inscribed thereon. The approved final plat shall
be recorded by the divider within 12 months after the date of required
approval and within 36 months after the date of the first preliminary
plat approval. A copy of the final plat recording information shall
be provided to the Village within 72 hours of recording.
A.
Types. Correction instruments relating to recorded
final plats may be recorded in the Kenosha County Register of Deeds
office and may include:
(1)
Affidavits to correct distances, angles, directions,
bearings, chords, block or lot numbers, street names or other similar
details shown on a recorded final plat, which shall be approved by
the Village Board, prior to recording, after review and recommendation
of the Plan Commission.
(2)
Ratifications of a recorded final plat, signed and
acknowledged in accordance with § 706.07, Wis. Stats.
(3)

the time of recording.
