Prior to filing an application for approval of a preliminary
plat, the subdivider may consult with the City for advice and assistance
for the purpose of reviewing the procedures and requirements of this
chapter and other ordinances, and for any plans or data which may
affect the proposed development.
Prior to submitting a final plat for approval, the subdivider
shall cause to be prepared a preliminary plat and file with the City
Clerk-Treasurer a written application for approval of the preliminary
plat, which shall include all data required by this chapter accompanied
by six copies of the plat. The preliminary plat shall cover the entire
area owned or controlled by the subdivider even though only a small
portion thereof is proposed for development at that time. The subdivider
may elect to submit a development plan in lieu of a preliminary plat
when he owns or controls 10 acres or more of land. The subdivider
shall still submit a preliminary plat for that part which is to be
included in the final plat. The Plan Commission shall hold a meeting
to review the preliminary plat and shall either approve, conditionally
approve, or deny the plat within 60 days of the date the preliminary
plat is submitted and shall promptly notify the Common Council of
such decision. Final action shall be taken by the Common Council within
90 days of receipt of the complete application.
If the preliminary plat has been approved or been approved conditionally,
the subdivider may submit a final plat of the subdivision, accompanied
by six copies of the plat and an electronic copy utilizing the Juneau
County coordinate system, or payment to the City Clerk-Treasurer in
an amount to cover the cost of printing six copies of the recorded
plat. All improvements required by this chapter shall be made or guaranteed
in a manner described in this chapter. The Plan Commission shall review
the final plat and make written recommendations to the Common Council
concerning final approval. If the final plat meets the requirements
of this chapter and has been submitted within 36 months from the approval
date of the preliminary plat, and the conditions have been met in
the case of preliminary plats given conditional approval, the City
shall, within 60 days of submission of the final plat, approve said
plat.
When a land division is created as defined herein, the developer
shall submit two copies of a certified survey map prepared in accordance
with § 236.34, Wis. Stats., and in accordance with this
chapter. The requirements of this chapter regarding preliminary plat
procedures shall also apply to certified survey maps unless specifically
waived by the Plan Commission. The Commission shall, within 60 days,
approve, approve conditionally, or reject the certified survey map
based on its determination of conformance with the provisions of this
chapter. Final action shall be taken by the Common Council within
90 days of receipt of the complete application.
