[Prior code § 18.04]
In planning and developing a subdivision or minor subdivision,
the subdivider or agent shall, in every case, pursue the following
course set out in this chapter.
[Prior code § 18.04(1)]
Before filing an application for approval of a preliminary plat
or certified survey map, the subdivider shall consult with the director
of public works and shall prepare the following:
C.
Written requests to the public works committee for any water main
and sanitary sewer extensions necessary to serve the proposed plat;
D.
A signed statement listing development projects for which the applicant
has received Village approval in the last five years and indicating
any outstanding performance or financial obligations on such projects
which derive from application of Village land use regulations. If
this statement is found to contain information which is contrary to
fact or to omit the listing of such projects or obligations or to
describe obligations on which performance or payment is delinquent,
the application may be dismissed without prejudice until the application
is corrected and/or the delinquency is cured;
E.
On completion of the above documents, a preapplication meeting shall
be held with the director of public works and site plan review committee
to assist the subdivider in appraising the objectives of these regulations,
the master plan, the official map and any pertinent ordinances and
to reach conclusions regarding the objectives and general program
for the development.
F.
The subdivider shall revise the submitted documents per the direction
of the site plan review committee. 15 copies of the revised documents
shall be submitted to the Village Clerk, which shall distribute the
copies for review and comment by the: public works committee; park
and recreation committee; and site plan review committee. Any written
comments of these groups shall be forwarded to the Plan Commission
to assist in its review of the concept plan.
[Prior code § 18.04(2)]
A site assessment checklist shall be prepared by the subdivider
for review and approval by the Plan Commission.
A.
Purpose. The purpose of this site assessment checklist is to provide
the basis for an orderly, systematic review of the effects of all
new subdivisions upon the community environment in accordance with
the principles and procedures of Section 236.45(1), Wisconsin Statutes.
The Plan Commission will use these procedures in determining land
suitability under Section 16.08.010(B). The goals of the community
in requiring this checklist are to eliminate or reduce pollution and
siltation to an acceptable standard, assume ample living space per
capita, preserve open space and parks for recreation, provide adequately
for storm water control, maintain scenic beauty and aesthetic surroundings,
administer to the economic and cultural needs of the citizens and
provide for the effective and efficient flow of goods and services.
B.
Coverage. The site assessment checklist requirement shall apply to
all land divisions, including minor subdivisions. The Plan Commission
may waive the requirement for the filing of a site assessment checklist
for minor subdivisions of less than five acres total area.
[Prior code § 18.04(3)]
A.
Determination of Need for Site Assessment Report. The site assessment
checklist, concept plan, utility extension request and financial obligation
report required in 16.12.020, shall be reviewed by the Plan Commission
upon receipt of reports from the public works committee, the park
and recreation committee, and the site plan review committee. The
Plan Commission may, at that time, for reasons stated in a written
resolution setting forth specific questions on which it requires research,
data and input from the developer and other affected persons, decide
that the site assessment checklist raises unusually significant questions
on the effects on the environment and/or that an unusually high level
of citizen interest has resulted from questions raised in the site
assessment checklist and that review by other Village committees and
commissions is required. The listing of questions can include items
which this title already enables the Plan Commission to obtain, or
it may include additional information which is relevant to the questions
specified in the resolution. The resolution may also request data
on the specific impact questions from other governmental agencies
or from the developer or applicant. The resolution shall set a reasonable
date for the return of the requested data and information, and it
may specify the format in which the data is to be presented.
B.
Hearing on Site Assessment Report. Following the return to the Plan
Commission of the data required in the resolution adopted under the
subsection above, the Plan Commission shall make such report available
for scrutiny by the applicant or petitioner, by Village departments,
commissions and committees and by other interested persons or agencies.
The Plan Commission may schedule and hold a public hearing on the
findings of the report. The hearing shall be preceded by a Class I
notice under Chapter 985, Wisconsin Statutes. Persons attending such
hearing shall be afforded an opportunity to comment on the report.
C.
Review of Site Assessment Report. The Plan Commission shall review the site assessment report, with supporting data, department and committee reviews and any other data required for determining the suitability of the land for the proposed development. Within 45 days after submission to the Plan Commission of the final expanded site assessment report, the Plan Commission shall decide whether the land is suitable for development and proceed as required by Section 16.12.050.
[Prior code § 18.04(4)]
A concept plan shall be prepared by the subdivider for review
and approval by the Plan Commission.
A.
Purpose. The purpose of this concept plan is to depict the general
intent of the subdivider in terms of general layout of the land division,
and its relationship to nearby properties, utilities and other public
facilities. In conjunction with the site assessment checklist, the
concept plan provides an opportunity to review the general intent
and impact of the proposed land division, without the need for detailed
engineering, surveying and other time-consuming and costly processes
associated with the preliminary plat.
B.
Coverage. The concept plan requirement shall apply to all land divisions,
including minor subdivisions. The Plan Commission may waive the requirement
for the filing of a concept plan for minor subdivisions of less than
five acres total area.
C.
Concept Plan Submission Requirements. The concept plan shall be submitted
in at a scale of not more than 200 feet to one inch and shall show
all lands under the control of the applicant which are contiguous
or separated only by existing public roads, or railroad rights-of-way.
The concept plan shall show the following information:
1.

land surveyor and land planner;
