A. 
General. When a land divider proposes to create a major subdivision, the land divider shall provide a preliminary plat prior to submitting a final plat. It shall be clearly marked "preliminary plat" and shall be in sufficient detail to determine whether the final plat will meet layout requirements. The preliminary plat shall be based upon a survey by a registered land surveyor, prepared on Mylar or paper of good quality at a scale of no less detail than 100 feet to the inch and shall comply in all respects with the requirements of Ch. 236, Wis. Stats., and this chapter.
B. 
Plat data. A preliminary plat shall show correctly on its face the following information:
(1) 
Title under which the proposed subdivision is to be recorded.
(2) 
Location of the proposed subdivision by government lot, quarter section, township, range, county, and state.
(3) 
Date, scale, and North point.
(4) 
Names and addresses of the owner, land divider, and land surveyor preparing the plat.
(5) 
Entire area contiguous to the proposed plat owned or controlled by the land divider, even though only a portion of such area is proposed for immediate development. The Town 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.
(6) 
Locations of all existing property boundary lines, structures, drives, streams and watercourses, marshes, rock outcrops, wooded areas, railroad tracks, and other significant features within the tract being subdivided or immediately adjacent thereto.
(7) 
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.
(8) 
Location and names of any adjacent subdivisions, parks and cemeteries and owners of record of abutting unplatted lands.
(9) 
Type and width of any existing street pavements within the exterior boundaries of the plat or immediately adjacent thereto, together with any legally established center-line elevations.

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 the direction and distance from the tract, size, and invert elevations, assuming the availability of such sewer and water mains is consistent with the Master Plan of the Village of New Glarus.

Where, in the judgment of the Town Engineer, undue hardship would result because of the remoteness of the parcel from a mean sea level reference elevation, another datum may be used.
(14) 
High-water elevation of all ponds, streams, lakes, flowages, and wetlands within the exterior boundaries of the plat or located within 100 feet therefrom.
