for possible public acquisition, subject to a required restriction,
or reserved for the common use of property owners within the certified
survey map.

Datum of 1929 (mean sea level) or North American Vertical Datum 1988
(mean sea level). All plans shall clearly indicate which vertical
datum is being used.
[Amended 8-3-2020 by Ord. No. 20-22]
L.

within the exterior boundaries of the plat or immediately adjacent
thereto, together with any legally established center-line elevations,

N.
Any other information required by the Village staff,
the Village Plan Commission or the Village Board.
The following additional information shall be
provided by the divider, unless the Village Board decides that such
information is not necessary for the proper review and consideration
of the certified survey map:
A.
Existing contours at vertical intervals of not more
than one foot 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) or North
American Vertical Datum 1988 (mean sea level). The requirement to
provide topographic data may be waived if the parcel(s) created is
fully developed.
[Amended 8-3-2020 by Ord. No. 20-22]

the map 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 map is
