A Final Plat prepared by a Wisconsin registered land surveyor
shall be required for all subdivisions. It shall comply in all respects
with the requirements of § 236.20 of the Wisconsin Statutes.
A condominium plat shall be required for all condominiums. Pursuant
to § 703.27(1), Stats., as amended, all terms and provisions
of this Ordinance pertaining to a final plat, including, but not limited
to the submission of the plat for approval, as they may in any respect
be applicable to a condominium plat, shall apply to a condominium
plat.
The plat shall show correctly on its face, in addition to the
information required by § 236.20 of the Wisconsin Statutes,
the following:
A.
Centerline of Streets. Exact length and bearing
of the centerline of all streets.
B.
Street Width. Exact street width along the line
of any obliquely intersecting street.
C.
Setbacks, Shore Buffers, Wetland Buffers, Wetland
Setbacks, and Building Lines. All required setbacks, shore buffers,
wetland buffers, wetland setbacks, and building lines shall be graphically
indicated and dimensioned on the Final Plat or Condominium Plat.
D.
Utilities and Drainage Easements. Utility and/or
drainage easements.
E.
Future Public Acquisition and Reservations. All
lands reserved for future public acquisition or reserved for the common
use of property owners within the plat.
F.
Special Restrictions. Special restrictions required
by the Plan Commission relating to conservation easements, access
control along public ways, delineation of floodplain and wetland limits,
natural resource mitigation areas, or to the provision of "Landscape
Bufferyard Easements."
G.
Floodplain Limits. Floodplain limits and the contour
lines 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, five feet above the elevation of the maximum flood
of record.
H.
Water Elevations of All Lakes, Ponds, Streams, Flowages
and Wetlands. Water elevations of all lakes, ponds, streams, flowages,
and wetlands at the date of the survey and approximate high and low
water elevations, all referred to National Geodetic Vertical Datum
of 1929 (mean sea level). All stormwater calculations shall be submitted
to the City Engineer.
I.
City Planner May Require Additional Information.
Where the City Planner finds that in order to review the Final Plat
he requires additional information relative to a particular problem
presented by a proposed development, he shall have the authority to
request in writing such information from the Subdivider.
J.
Additional Information May Be Required By Others.
Any additional information required by the Plan Commission, City Engineer,
or Common Council.
The following documents shall be submitted with the Final Plat
or as a condition of any approval thereof, as required:
A.
Declaration of Deed Restrictions and Protective
Covenants. The Planning Department shall require for administrative
review and approval and Subdivider shall submit, the final draft of
declaration of deed restrictions and protective covenants whereby
the Subdivider intends to regulate land use in the proposed Subdivision
and otherwise protect the proposed development.
B.
Conservation Easements. The Planning Department
shall require for administrative review and approval and Subdivider
shall submit, the final draft of conservation easements whereby the
Subdivider intends to regulate the protection of natural resource
features in the proposed Subdivision in conjunction with the "Natural
Resource Protection Plan." A conservation easement must additionally
be approved by the Common Council.
C.
Wisconsin Non-Profit Membership Corporation (Homeowners'
Association). The Planning Department shall require for administrative
review and approval and Subdivider shall submit, the final draft of
the legal instruments and rules for any proposed Wisconsin non-profit
membership corporation (homeowners' association), for the purpose
of demonstrating its existence, when the Subdivider proposes that
property within a Subdivision would be either owned or maintained
by such an organization of property owners, whereby the Subdivider
intends to regulate land use in the proposed Subdivision and otherwise
protect the proposed development.
D.
Purpose and City Attorney Review. The purpose of
the required submissions under this section is only to provide for
an enforceable method of regulating the maintenance of any common
land areas or structures serving the development and any land or structures
restricted for such service or for the public benefit. The City Attorney
shall review all final declaration of deed restrictions and protective
covenants, conservation easements, and homeowners' associations and
shall approve said final instruments as to form as they may pertain
to such purpose.
The City Engineer shall examine all Final Plats within the City
and cause to be made by a registered land surveyor, as directed by
the City Engineer, field checks for the accuracy and closure of survey,
the proper kind and location of monuments, and the legibility and
completeness of the drawing. In addition:
A.
Maximum Error of Closure. Maximum error of closure
before adjustment of the survey of the exterior boundaries of the
subdivision shall not exceed, in horizontal distance or position,
the ratio of one part in 10,000, nor in azimuth four seconds of are
per interior angle. If field measurements exceed this maximum, new
field measurements shall be made until a satisfactory closure is obtained.
When a satisfactory closure of the field measurements has been obtained,
the survey of the exterior boundary shall be adjusted to form a closed
geometric figure.
B.
Street, Block, and Lot Dimensions. All street, block,
and lot dimensions shall be computed as closed geometric figures based
upon the control provided by the closed exterior boundary survey.
If field checks disclose an error for any interior line of the plat
greater than the ratio of one part in 5,000, or an error in measured
angle greater than one minute of are for any angle where the shorter
side forming the angle is 300 feet or longer, necessary corrections
shall be made. Where the shorter side of a measured angle is less
than 300 feet in length, the error shall not exceed the value of one
minute multiplied by the quotient of 300 divided by the length of
the shorter side; however, such error shall not in any case exceed
five minutes of are.
All Final Plats shall meet all the surveying and monumenting
requirements of § 236.15 of the Wisconsin Statutes.
Where the plat is located within a U.S. Public Land Survey quarter-section,
the corners of which have been relocated or monumented by the Southeastern
Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC), County, or municipality,
the Final Plat shall be tied directly to one of the section or quarter
corners so relocated and monumented.
A.
Grid Bearing and Distance of Tie Determined by Field
Measurements. 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. The plat shall be tied to the horizontal control system
established by the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission
(SEWRPC) for the City of Franklin.
B.
Closed Survey Required. 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.
C.
Reference to the Wisconsin Coordinate System. All
distances and bearings shall be referenced directly to the Wisconsin
Coordinate System and adjusted to the County's control survey.
All Final Plats shall provide all the certificates required
by § 236.21 of the Wisconsin Statutes. The certificate shall
contain a description of the survey beginning at the U.S. Public Land
Survey corner to which the survey is tied. In addition, the surveyor
shall certify that he has fully complied with all the provisions of
this Ordinance.
The Final Plat shall be recorded with the County Register of
Deeds only after the certificates of the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture,
Trade and Consumer Protection, of the Common Council, of the Surveyor,
and those certificates required by § 236.21 of the Wisconsin
Statutes are placed on the face of the Final Plat. The Final Plat
shall be recorded as set forth in Division 15-9.0300 of this Ordinance.
