A. 
General.
(1) 
A preliminary plat shall be required for all subdivisions and shall be based upon a survey by a registered land surveyor and the plat prepared on Mylar or paper of good quality at a scale of not more than 100 feet to the inch and shall show correctly on its face the following information:
(a) 
Title under which the proposed 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 in addition to a previously recorded plat and is so stated on the plat.
(b) 
Location of the proposed subdivision by government lot, quarter section, township, range, county and state.
(c) 
Date, scale and North point.
(d) 
Names and addresses of the owner, subdivider and land surveyor preparing the plat.
(2) 
The entire area contiguous to the proposed plat owned or controlled by the subdivider shall be included on the preliminary plat even though only a portion of said area is proposed for immediate development. The Village Board, upon the Plan Commission's recommendation, 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.
B. 
Plat data. All preliminary plats shall show the following:
(1) 
Exact length and bearing of the exterior boundaries of the proposed subdivision referenced to a corner established in the U.S. Public Land Survey and the total acreage encompassed thereby.
(2) 
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.
(3) 
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.
(4) 
Location and names of any adjacent subdivisions, parks and cemeteries and owners of record of abutting unplatted lands.
(5) 
Type, width and elevation of any existing street pavements within the exterior boundaries of the plat or immediately adjacent thereto, together with any legally established center-line elevations, pursuant to Subsection B(9).
(6) 
Location, size and invert elevation of any existing sanitary or storm sewers, culverts and drainpipes; the location of manholes, catch basins, hydrants, and electric and communication facilities, whether overhead or underground; and the location and size of any existing water and gas mains 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 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, pursuant to Subsection B(9).
(7) 
Corporate limit lines within the exterior boundaries of the plat or immediately adjacent thereto.
(8)

At least two permanent bench marks shall be located in the immediate vicinity of the plat; the location of the bench marks shall be indicated on the plat, together with their elevations referenced to mean sea level datum and the monumentation of the bench marks clearly and completely described. Where, in the judgment of the Village Engineer, undue hardship would result because of the remoteness of the parcel from a mean sea level reference elevation, another datum may be used.
(10) 
High-water elevation of all ponds, streams, lakes, flowages and wetlands within the exterior boundaries of the plat or located within 100 feet therefrom.
(11) 
Water elevation of all ponds, streams, lakes, flowages and wetlands within the exterior boundaries of the plat or located within 100 feet therefrom at the date of the survey.
(12) 
Floodland and shoreland boundaries and the contour line lying a vertical distance of two feet above the elevation of the one-hundred-year recurrence interval flood or, where such data is not available, two feet above the elevation of the maximum flood of record within the exterior boundaries of the plat or within 100 feet therefrom.
(13)

(16) 
Approximate radii of all curves.
(17) 
Any proposed lake and stream access, with a small drawing clearly indicating the location of the proposed subdivision in relation to access.
(18) 
Any proposed lake and stream improvement or relocation, and notice of application for approval by the Department of Natural Resources, when applicable.
C. 
Where the Plan Commission, Village Board or Village Engineer finds that it or he requires additional information relative to a particular problem presented by a proposed development in order to review the preliminary plat, it or he shall have the authority to request in writing such information from the subdivider.
A. 
General. A final plat prepared by a registered land surveyor shall be required for all subdivisions. It shall comply in all respects with the requirements of § 236.20, Wis. Stats., and this chapter.

Exact street width along the line of any obliquely intersecting street.
(3) 
Exact location and description of utility and drainage easements.
(4) 
Railroad rights-of-way within and abutting the plat.
(5) 
All lands reserved for future public acquisition or reserved for the common use of property owners within the plat.

E. 
Survey accuracy.
(1) 
Examination. The Village Board or, at its direction, the Village Engineer or its designee shall examine all final plats within the Village of Kimberly and may make, or cause to be made by a registered land surveyor under the supervision or direction of the Village Engineer, field checks for the accuracy and closure of the survey, the proper kind and location of monuments, and legibility and completeness of the drawing.
(2) 
Maximum error of closure. Maximum error of closure shall be as prescribed in § 236.15(2), Wis. Stats.
(3) 
Plat location. Where the plat is located within a quarter section, the corners of which have been relocated, monumented and coordinated by the Village, the tie required by § 236.20(3)(b), Wis. Stats., shall be expressed in terms of grid bearing and distance, and the material and Wisconsin state plane coordinates of the monument marking the relocated section or quarter corner to which the plat is tied shall be indicated on the plat. The grid bearing and distance of the tie shall be determined by a closed survey meeting the error of closure herein specified for the survey of the exterior boundaries of the subdivision. The Village Board shall receive the results of the Village Engineer's examination prior to approving the final plat.
F. 
Surveying and monumenting. All final plats shall meet all the surveying and monumenting requirements of § 236.15, Wis. Stats., and be shown on the site with steel fence posts.
G. 
State plane coordinate system. Where the plat is located within a quarter section, the corners of which have been relocated, monumented and coordinated by the Village, the plat shall be tied directly to one of the section or quarter corners so relocated, monumented and coordinated. The exact grid bearing and distance of such tie shall be determined by field measurements, and the material and Wisconsin state plane coordinates of the monument marking the relocated section or quarter corner to which the plat is tied shall be indicated on the plat. All distances and bearings shall be referenced to the Wisconsin Coordinate System, Central Zone, and adjusted to the Village's control survey.
H. 
Certificates. All final plats shall provide all the certificates required by § 236.21, Wis. Stats., and § 514-11D, and, in addition, the surveyor shall certify that he has fully complied with all the provisions of this chapter.

Recording. The final plat shall only be recorded with the County Register of Deeds after the certificates of the Wisconsin Department of Administration, of the Village Board and of the surveyor, and those certificates required by § 236.21, Wis. Stats., are placed on the face of the plat. [1]
