Note: Land divisions, that is, divisions by certified survey map, may also be required to follow the procedures in this article. See § 274-22, Certified survey maps, above.
A. 
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 or paper of good quality at a scale of not more than 100 feet to the inch and shall show correctly on its face the following information:
(1) 
The words "preliminary plat" and the title under which the proposed subdivision is to be recorded.
(2) 
Location of the proposed subdivision by quarter section, Township, range and County immediately under the subdivision name.
(3) 
Date, scale and North point, related to the nearest exterior line or quarter line of a section in which the subdivision is located.
(4) 
Small drawing showing an outline of the proposed subdivision in relation to section, oriented on the sheet in the same direction as the preliminary plat.
(5) 
Name and addresses of the owner, subdivider and land surveyor preparing the plat.
B. 
The entire area contiguous to the proposed plat owned or controlled by the subdivider shall be included on the preliminary plat even though only a portion of said area is proposed for immediate development. The Village Board may waive this requirement where it is unnecessary to fulfill the purposes and intent of this chapter and undue hardship would result from strict application thereof.
All preliminary plats shall show the following:
A. 
Total area of the land included in the plat expressed in acres and any portion of an acre in square feet.
B. 
Proposed use.
C. 
Exact length and bearing of the exterior boundaries of the proposed subdivision referenced to a corner established in U.S. Public Land Survey and the total acreage encompassed thereby.
D. 
Contours at vertical intervals of not more than two feet where the slope of the ground surface is less that 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 USGS datum.
E. 
Water elevations of adjoining lakes and streams at the date of the survey and approximate high and low water elevations, all referred to USGS datum.
F. 
Location, right-of-way width and names of all existing streets, pedestrian paths, alleys or other public ways and all section and quarter section lines within the exterior boundaries of the plat or immediately adjacent thereto.
G. 
Easements, railroad and utility rights-of-way shown by dashed lines. Parallel easement lines shall be shown by center line, distance, bearing and width if not parallel to a lot line or other designated boundary.
H. 
Location and names of any adjacent subdivisions, parks and cemeteries and owners of record of abutting unplatted lands.
I. 
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 referred to USGS datum.
J. 
Location, size and invert elevation of any existing sanitary or storm sewers, culverts and drain pipes, 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 sewers or water mains are located on or immediately adjacent to the tract, the nearest such sewers or water mains which might be extended to serve the tract shall be indicated by their direction and distance from the tract, size and invert elevations.
K. 
Locations of all existing property boundary lines, structures, drives, streams and watercourses, marshes, rock outcrops, wooded areas, railroad tracks and other similar significant features within the tract being subdivided or immediately adjacent thereto.
L. 
Location, width and names of all proposed streets and public rights-of-way such as alleys, pedestrian paths and easements.
M. 
Approximate dimensions and area in square feet of all lots and outlots together with proposed lots, outlots and blocks consecutively numbered.
N. 
Location, size and approximate dimensions of any sites to be reserved or dedicated for parks, playgrounds, drainageways or other public use or to be reserved by covenant for use of all property owners in the subdivision, or which are to be used for group housing, shopping centers, church sites or other nonpublic uses not requiring lotting.
O. 
Approximate radii, central angles subtended, chord bearing, chord length and arc length for each segment of all curves, and a tangent bearing for each and of the main chord.
P. 
Existing zoning of and adjacent to the proposed subdivision.
Q. 
Proposed building lines.
R. 
Corporate limits lines.
S. 
Any proposed lake, stream or drainageway access with a small drawing clearly indicating the location of the proposed subdivision in relation to the access.
T. 
Any proposed lake, stream or drainageway improvement or relocation.
U. 
Approximate depth to groundwater during the wettest season of the year.
[Amended 3-18-2002 by Ord. No. 01-2002]
The subdivider shall 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. The subdivider shall also provide preliminary utility plans for storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water main showing location, sizes and approximate elevations, and drainage system plans for a system capable of carrying drainage from each lot, the total subdivision and related drainage sources. Preliminary plats must also include a preliminary stormwater management plan with runoff and detention calculations. All plans and profiles shall meet the approval of the Village Board.
The Village Board 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 Board may also require that soil borings be made and design parameters determined for use with the State of Wisconsin Department of Transportation Facilities Development Manual method of pavement design.
The Village Board may require submission of a draft of protective covenants whereby the subdivider intends to regulate land use in the proposed subdivision and otherwise protect the proposed development.
The Village Board may require submission of a draft of the legal instruments and rules for proposed property owners' associations where the subdivider proposes that common property within a subdivision would be either owned or maintained by such an organization of property owners.
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 the surveyor has fully complied with the provisions of this chapter.
