A. 
Previous to filing a certified survey map (CSM) of any parcel of land, the subdivider shall consult with the Town Zoning Administrator for advice and assistance to assure the division does not conflict with local, county or regional plans.
B. 
The subdivider shall provide the Town with a reasonably accurate concept plan of the land being considered for division. It may be a freehand drawing but of a sufficient scale so that conditions can be determined to be reviewed for proximity to adjacent streets and schools, for analysis of soil types, topography, drainage, and generally for the effect the land division would have on the development of surrounding property. Such map shall describe the entire ownership involved in the process of division; provided, however, that where the division results in a residual parcel, not intended for immediate sale or other conveyance, the Town Board may waive the requirement for inclusion of the residual parcel. In this case, a supplementary map of reasonable accuracy shall be attached, showing the relationship to the original ownership of the parcel or parcels being severed. In the event the division involves the dedication and development of a Town road, the subdivider shall submit an itemized estimate of the costs of required public improvements.
C. 
After tentative Town approval of a concept plan, the subdivider shall proceed to have a certified survey map prepared. The certified survey map shall be drawn in accordance with this chapter and shall meet all of the requirements of §§ 236.34 and 236.21 of the Wisconsin Statutes that relate to subdividing. In addition, when the map is located within a quarter section where the corners have been relocated, monumented or placed on the State Plane Coordinate System, the CSM shall be tied directly to such quarter section corners. The subdivider shall file 10 copies of the CSM along with an application form (available from the Town Zoning Administrator), accompanied by a filing fee (on record in the Town Zoning Administrator's office). Said filing must occur with the Town Zoning Administrator at least one week prior to the Town Board meeting. In the event the division involves the dedication and development of a Town road, the subdivider shall also file a developer's agreement.
The CSM shall be reviewed by the Town Board for conformance with this chapter and all ordinances, rules, regulations and the Town Land Use Plan. The certified survey map shall be prepared by a professional land surveyor in accordance with the provisions contained in § 236.34, Wis. Stats., and shall show clearly on its face the following:
A. 
All existing buildings, setbacks, watercourses, drainage ditches, names of adjacent owners, setbacks to structures on adjacent property and other features pertinent to division of property.
B. 
Location of access to public road.
C. 
Date of the map with graphic scale.
D. 
Name and address of the person for whom the survey was made.
E. 
An owner's certificate and approval signature of the Town Chairperson and Town Treasurer's certificate in accordance with § 236.21, Wis. Stats., shall be the only approvals required for recording unless additional approvals are necessary for dedication purposes.
F. 
All corners shall be monumented, as required by Wisconsin Statutes.
G. 
Prepared on durable white paper, on tracing cloth, or paper (that can be copied), 8 1/2 inches wide by 14 inches long. The scale shall not be more than 500 feet to the inch.
(1) 
The map shall include the certificate of the surveyor, giving a clear and concise description of the land surveyed by bearings and distances, commencing with some corner marked and established in the United States Public Land Survey. The surveyor's certificate shall state that he has complied with the requirements of Ch. 236, Wis. Stats.
(2) 
the Town Board shall approve, approve conditionally, or reject such map within 60 days from the date of filing of the map unless the time is extended by agreement with the subdivider. If the map is rejected, the reason shall be stated in the minutes of the meeting and a written statement forwarded to the subdivider.
(3) 
No lot shall be created unless it lies totally within one zoning district. [Winnebago County Ordinance 18.56(9)(a).]
(4) 
If public right-of-way is being dedicated, an executed developer's agreement shall be required for any proposed improvements as prescribed in § 361-59 of this chapter. The petitioner will be obligated to pay all legal and professional fees associated with the Town's review and approval of the developer's agreement.
(5) 
The certified survey map shall be recorded with the County Register of Deeds. When a certified survey map has been so recorded, the parcels of land in the map may be described by reference to the number of the survey, the volume and page where recorded, and the name of the county. Any land or improvements offered for dedication and approved by the governing agency accepting the dedication shall be deeded at the time of recording, unless otherwise arranged.
