[Prior code § 18.06; amended by Ord. 238, 2006]
In planning and developing a final plat the subdivider or agent
shall, in every case, pursue the following course:
A.
Final Plat Procedure.
1.
Prior to submitting a final plat for approval, the subdivider shall prepare a draft final plat with the director of public works. A draft final plat shall not be submitted prior to approval of the preliminary plat as required in Chapter 16.16. The proposed plat may constitute only that portion of the approved preliminary plat which the subdivider proposes to record at that time.
2.
On completion of a draft final plat, a 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 program for the
development.
3.
The subdivider shall revise the submitted draft final plat documents
per the direction of the site plan review committee. Fifteen copies
of the revised final plat documents shall be submitted to 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
final plat.
4.
The subdivider shall file a written request for approval of the final
plat to the Village Clerk and the state of Wisconsin in accordance
with Section 236.12, Wisconsin Statutes. Such written request and
filing of final plats shall be submitted at least 12 days prior to
the date of the meeting of the Plan Commission at which the request
is to be considered, and shall include all data required by this title.
The Plan Commission may forward a copy of the final plat to Walworth
County for review and comment.
5.
The final plat shall include the entire area owned or controlled
by the subdivider within the phase of development for which final
approval is sought.
6.
The Plan Commission shall recommend approval, denial or approval with conditions and the Village Board shall within 30 days from the date submitted, approve, approve conditionally or reject the final plat, based on its determination of conformance with the intent and provisions of this title, and all related plans and ordinances, and recommendations of appropriate Village committees and commissions. The site plan review committee shall prepare comments on the Plan Commission's recommendation, in conjunction with revisions to the final plat provided by the subdivider, in order to provide assurance that all recommended revisions to the plat made by the Plan Commission are complied with such revised versions. In all cases, the time period within which Village Board action is required shall not commence until the Village has received all maps, plans, drawings and related data necessary for plat review of the latest version of the final plat as outlined herein. Such time may be extended by a written agreement with the subdivider. The Village Board shall review the final plat for conformity with all conditions of approval, if any, and Section 16.08.010, and shall base approval or disapproval on these requirements. If the final plat meets the requirements of this title, and has been submitted within six months from the approval date of the preliminary plat and the conditions have been met in the case of a preliminary plat given conditional approval, the board shall approve the final plat.
7.
Upon approval of the final plat by the Village Board, the developer shall enter into a contract for improvements as required by Chapters 16.32 through 16.44. Prior to the signing of the contract by the Village President and the Village Clerk, the developer shall pay to the Village all required fees, area charges and deposits, and provide any required performance bonds. Final plat approval is contingent upon execution of contract (developer's agreement).
8.
The final plat shall be recorded with the Walworth County register
of deeds only after certificates of the Wisconsin Department of Administration,
the Village Board, the surveyor, and those certificates required by
Section 236.21 of the Wisconsin State Statutes are placed on the face
of the plat. The Clerk shall receive notification of approval from
the Village attorney, the Village Engineer, the building and zoning
department and any other necessary entities before registering of
the final plat. The plat shall be recorded by the Village Clerk within
30 days of its approval by the Village Board.
9.
If the Village Board fails to act within 60 days and the time has
not been extended by agreement and if no unsatisfied objections have
been filed within that period, the plat shall be deemed approved,
and upon demand, a certificate to that effect shall be made on the
face of the plat by the Clerk of the Village.
10.
The subdivider shall provide a duplicate reproducible copy of
the plat on dimensionally stable polyester film to the Village along
with 11 folded blue line copies, and one copy in DXF format on a 3 1/2
inch diskette.
