New Laws (0) Index
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 tracing cloth 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.
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.
E. 
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 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.
All preliminary plats shall show the following:
A. 
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.
B. 
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.
C. 
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.
D. 
Location and names of any adjacent subdivisions, parks and cemeteries and owners of record of abutting unplatted lands.
E. 
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.
F. 
Location, size and invert elevation of any existing sanitary or storm sewers, culverts and drainpipes, the location of manholes, catch basins, hydrants, 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 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.
G. 
Corporate limit lines within the exterior boundaries of the plat or immediately adjacent thereto.
H. 
Existing zoning on and adjacent to the proposed subdivision.
I. 
Contours within the exterior boundaries of the plat and extending to the center line of adjacent public streets to National Map Accuracy Standards based upon mean sea level datum at vertical intervals of not more than two feet. 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 Board, undue hardship would result because of the remoteness of the parcel from a mean sea level reference elevation, another datum may be used.
J. 
High-water elevation of all ponds, streams, lakes, flowages and wetlands within the exterior boundaries of the plat or located within 100 feet therefrom.
K. 
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.
L. 
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.
M. 
Soil types and their boundaries, as shown on the operational soil survey maps prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service.[1]

Any proposed lake and stream access, with a small drawing clearly indicating the location of the proposed subdivision in relation to access.

U. 
Where the Village Board finds that it requires additional information relative to a particular problem presented by a proposed development in order to review the preliminary plat, it shall have the authority to request in writing such information from the subdivider.
The subdivider may consult with the Village Board regarding the requirements for minor subdivision certified surveys before submission of the final map. Following consultation, a copy of the final map in the form of a certified survey map shall be submitted to the Village.
The Village Board may require a proposed subdivision layout of all or part of the contiguously owned land, even though division is not planned at the time.
To the extent reasonably practicable, the certified survey/minor subdivision plat shall comply with the provisions of this chapter relating to general requirements, design standards and required improvements.
