[Amended 8-3-2020 by Ord. No. 20-22]
A preliminary plat shall be required for all
subdivisions and large lot subdivisions. The preliminary plat shall
be based upon a survey by a Wisconsin professional land surveyor and
shall be prepared on tracing cloth, reproducible drafting film, or
paper of good quality at a map scale of not more than 100 feet to
the inch.
All preliminary plats shall show each of the
following:
A.
Title or name under which the proposed subdivision
or large lot subdivision is to be recorded. Such title shall not be
the same as or similar to a previously approved and recorded plat,
unless it is an addition to a previously recorded plat and is so stated
on the plat.
B.

subdivision by: government lot, quarter-section, township, range,
county and state.

within the exterior boundaries of the plat or immediately adjacent
thereto. If no sanitary or storm sewers or water mains are located
on or immediately adjacent to the lands being platted, the nearest
such sewers or water mains which might be extended to serve such lands
shall be indicated by their direction and distance from the nearest
exterior boundary of the plat and their size and invert elevations.
O.

shown on the preliminary plat or grading plan. Lot (building site)
elevations shall be one to two feet above the elevation of the roadway
crown in the adjacent public street or as otherwise recommended by
the Village Administrator.

lot and block numbers.
T.
Location and approximate dimensions of any sites to
be reserved or dedicated for streets, schools, parks, playgrounds,
drainageways, or other public purposes or uses.
U.

V.
Existing and proposed zoning in the proposed subdivision
or large lot subdivision.
W.
Any proposed lake or stream access with a small drawing
clearly indicating the location of the proposed subdivision or large
lot subdivision in relation to the access.
X.
Any proposed lake and stream improvement or relocation.
Y.
Soil type, slope, and boundaries as shown on the detailed
operational soil survey maps prepared by the United States Natural
Resources Conservation Service.
Z.
Location of soil boring tests, where required by Ch.
SPS 385, Soil and Site Evaluations, Wis. Adm. Code, made to a depth
of six feet, unless bedrock is at a lesser depth. The number of such
tests shall be adequate to portray the character of the soil and the
depths of the bedrock and groundwater from the natural undisturbed
surface. To accomplish this purpose, a minimum of one test per three
acres shall be made initially. The results of such tests shall be
submitted along with the preliminary plat.
[Amended 8-3-2020 by Ord. No. 20-22]
AA.
Location of soil percolation tests where required
by Ch. SPS 385, Soil and Site Evaluations, Wis. Adm. Code, taken at

The divider/developer shall provide, with the preliminary plat, the first draft of engineering plans, including street plans, profiles and specifications showing existing ground surface and proposed and established street grades, including extensions for a reasonable distance beyond the limits of the proposed subdivision or large lot subdivision. All elevations shall be based upon the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (mean sea level) or North American Vertical Datum 1988 (mean sea level), and plans and profiles shall be designed in conformance with the requirements of this chapter, Chapter 405 and any applicable supplemental engineering design or construction standards or specifications. In addition, all plans shall clearly indicate which vertical and horizontal datum is being used.
[Amended 8-3-2020 by Ord. No. 20-22]
The Village Engineer, after determining from
a review of the existing engineering studies or previous soil borings
completed for the preliminary plat that the soil, slope, vegetation,
or drainage characteristics of the site are such that the installation
of public improvements will require additional engineering design
studies or investigations, shall require that borings and soundings
be made in specified areas to ascertain subsurface soil, rock and
water conditions. Where the subdivision or large lot subdivision will
not be served by public sanitary sewer service, the provisions of
Ch. SPS 385, Soil and Site Evaluations, Wis. Adm. Code, shall be complied
with, and the appropriate data shall be submitted with the preliminary
plat.
The Village Engineer, after determining from a review of the draft preliminary plat that the soil, slope, vegetation, and drainage characteristics of the site are such as to require substantial cutting, clearing, grading, or other earthmoving operations in the development of the land division or otherwise entail a severe erosion hazard, shall require the divider to provide soil erosion and sedimentation control plans and specifications. Such plans shall generally follow the guidelines and standards set forth in the United States Department of Agriculture Conservation Technical Guide, prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Wisconsin Construction Site Best Management Practice Handbook, prepared by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, and shall be in accordance with standards set forth in § 395-83 of this chapter.
A.
Filing; approval. Whenever the divider/developer proposes
to regulate land use, density, environmental protection, street tree
and planting maintenance, retention/detention basin maintenance, signage
maintenance, street access, landscaping, building materials, or other
matters in the proposed land division or development plan by means
of restrictive covenants running with the land, the divider/developer
shall file all such proposed restrictive covenants with the conceptual
plan. All such restrictive covenants shall be subject to approval
of the Village Board. Such covenants shall not conflict with and shall
not be less restrictive than any applicable Village, county, state
or federal statutes, ordinances, rules or regulations.
B.
Maintenance. The divider/developer shall be required
to create appropriate and satisfactory mechanisms to ensure that common
areas, street trees and landscaped areas, outlots, retention and detention
facilities and other similar areas are properly maintained. The Village
of Pleasant Prairie shall be granted appropriate easements and authority
to enforce the maintenance of such areas, or perform such maintenance
itself, and to recover the costs of performing such maintenance or
enforcing the restrictions, including its reasonable attorney fees.
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.
