When it is proposed to divide land into 10 or more lots or building
sites by successive division, the subdivider shall subdivide in accordance
with the following procedures:
A. The subdivider shall have an initial consultation with the Town Plan
Commission and any other people deemed necessary, including a sanitary
district representative, Town Planner/Engineer, or County staff, before
proceeding with platting procedures. The petitioner will be asked
to submit a concept plan and meet with the Plan Commission on the
site proposed for platting. The purpose of this consultation is to
review the site together with the petitioner and establish the parameters,
regulations and policies regarding the following issues:
(1) The suitability of the site for development;
(2) The accessibility of the site;
(3) The availability of public facilities (sewer, school, parks, water,
etc.) and public services (police, fire, etc.);
(4) Soil conditions and drainage patterns;
(5) The effect of the proposed development on any contemplated improvements;
(6) Zoning of the site and regulations that apply;
(7) Required public improvements; and
(8) Consistency with the Town's Land Use Plan.
B. The subdivider shall submit a concept plan on a topographic survey
map indicating the nature of the above conditions. The initial concept
plan should take into account the intent of this chapter as well as
any other reviewing agencies' comments obtained in contacts with the
appropriate agencies. Additional meetings may be required if the concept
plan needs to be significantly altered to meet the criteria identified
in this chapter.
C. The concept plan will be reviewed as it relates to:
(1) Topography, based on a USGS quadrangle map;
(2) The improvements, designs, dedications, or reservations required
by this chapter;
(3) Continuity to existing development within 300 feet of all boundaries;
(4) Regulations as set down by Ch. 236, Wis. Stats.;
(5) Consistency with the Town's Land Use Plan and any other Town ordinances
and policies;
(6) An appropriate amount of conservation area based upon the zone in
which it is located;
(7) For property within a Town Sanitary District, the proposed plat must
be consistent with the Sanitary District's plans for providing sanitary
sewer service, as determined by the Town Sanitary District, or in
areas not served by public sanitary sewer, Winnebago County will issue
permits for private sanitary sewer systems.
As part of the final plat submission, the Town requires the
subdivider to provide a developer's agreement. An example of a developer's
agreement is available from the Town Zoning Administrator. Such an
agreement must be approved by the Town Board during the final plat
review process. The petitioner will be obligated to pay all legal
and professional fees associated with the Town's review and approval
of the developer's agreement. Any fees that are part of the developer's
agreement shall be paid prior to Town approval of the final plat.
Following final plat approval by the Town Board and required
improvements either installed or a developer's agreement and sureties
ensuring completion of installation are executed and filed, the Town
Zoning Administrator shall cause the certificate to be inscribed upon
the plat. The plat must be recorded in the Winnebago County Register
of Deeds office within six months after the date of the last approval
of the plat and within 24 months after the first approval.
