A.
Before filing of an application for the approval of a preliminary
plat or certified survey map, the subdivider is encouraged to submit
a conceptual plan and to consult with City staff for advice regarding
general subdivision requirements. Information on meeting dates, agenda
deadlines and filing requirements may be obtained from the City Clerk-Treasurer.
The conceptual plan would show the relationship of the proposed subdivision
or certified survey to traffic arteries and existing community facilities.
This consultation is neither formal nor mandatory but is intended
to inform the subdivider of the purpose and objectives of these regulations,
the Master Plan, Comprehensive Plan components and plan implementation
devices of the City and to otherwise assist the subdivider in planning
his/her development. The subdivider will gain a better understanding
of the subsequent required procedures.
B.
Prior to filing an application for the approval of a preliminary
plat, or certified survey map, the subdivider shall attend a preliminary
consultation meeting with the Plan Commission. The Plan Commission
may waive this requirement for small projects.

The preliminary plat shall be prepared in accordance with the standards of this chapter, particularly § 472-18, and the subdivider shall file copies of the plat and the application as required by this section with the City Clerk-Treasurer at least 30 days prior to the meeting of the Plan Commission at which action is desired. The City Clerk-Treasurer shall submit copies of the preliminary plat to the Plan Commission and to the City Engineer for review and written report of his/her recommendations and reactions to the proposed plat.

when the subdivider proposes that common property within a subdivision
would be either owned or maintained by such an organization of property

Stats., and proposed deed restrictions or restrictive covenants shall
be submitted at the time of filing the preliminary plat with the City
Clerk-Treasurer.
D.
Affidavit. 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 he has fully complied
with the provisions of this chapter.

the City may not deny approval of a plat or certified survey map under
§ 236.45(3)(b), 236.10, or 236.13, Wis. Stats., on the basis
of the proposed use of land within the extraterritorial plat approval
jurisdiction of the City, unless the denial is based on a plan or

Where the subdivider owns property adjacent to that which is being proposed for the subdivision, the subdivider shall comply with the requirements of § 472-18A(5) for the remainder of the property so as to show the possible relationships between the proposed subdivision and future subdivision. In any event, all subdivisions must be shown to relate well with existing or potential adjacent subdivisions.
F.

Use of certified survey map.
(1)
A certified survey map, prepared and recorded in accordance with § 236.34, Wis. Stats., and the requirements of § 472-20, and having been approved by the Common Council, may be used in lieu of a subdivision plat to divide or consolidate lands, or dedicate lands, provided that one of the following conditions is met:
(a)
The division or consolidation is of any lot, outlot, parcel,
or other lands previously approved by the City and recorded with the
appropriate county register of deeds as a subdivision plat, certified
survey, or assessor's plat, of any size, which results in not
more than four lots, outlots, parcels, or mortgage descriptions, being
created by any division or successive division, regardless of any
changes in ownership, within any five-year period; or
(b)
The division or consolidation is of any lot, outlot, parcel,
or other lands previously recorded with the appropriate county register
of deeds, including those recorded by a metes and bounds description,
provided it results in not more than four outlots, parcels, or mortgage
descriptions, any one of which is less than four acres in size, being
created by any division or successive division, regardless of changes
of ownership, within any five-year period.
(2)
In the event a proposed land division does not meet the above requirements,
the proposed land division must be pursued as a subdivision plat.
(3)
The certified survey map shall include the entire original parcels of land owned or controlled by the subdivider, including those proposed for division or consolidation. The subdivider shall comply with all requirements of this chapter, including Article VII, Design Standards, and Article VI, Required Improvements, when a certified survey map is used. A certification of the approval of the certified survey map by the Common Council shall be inscribed legibly on the face of the map.

the final certified survey map to approval, provided the final certified
survey map conforms substantially to the preliminary certified survey
map, including any conditions of that approval, conforms to applicable
local ordinances, and is submitted within six months of the last required
approval of the preliminary certified survey map. If the preliminary
certified survey map is approved, the final certified survey map must
be approved by the Common Council within six months of the preliminary

Where the Plan Commission and the Common Council determine that one
or more public facilities or services are not adequate for the proposed
development, but that a portion of the area could be served adequately,

facilities and public services being adequate, conditional approval
may include only such portions or may specify phasing of the development.
D.
No land shall be divided which has been officially mapped as public
lands for a stormwater management facility or is determined by the
Common Council to be unsuitable for use by reason of flooding, bad
drainage, soil or rock formations with severe limitations for development,
severe erosion potential or unfavorable topography, or any other feature
likely to be harmful to health, safety or welfare of future residents
or landowners in the proposed land division or of the community.
E.
The above requirements shall not apply to those areas outside the
corporate limits of the City of Brodhead and within the City's

The City of Brodhead will attempt to seek consistency of locally
adopted town plans.
A.
The purpose of requiring approvals under this chapter is to insure
the health, safety, morale, comfort, prosperity and general welfare
of the City of Brodhead. This chapter shall not be interpreted as
placing any responsibility or liability on any City official, City
employee or the City as a municipal corporation for the granting of
approval or the denial of any approval. All approvals rendered as
part of this chapter shall be considered as being approved conditionally
based on the information and circumstances apparent at that time.
