The Certified Survey Map shall be tied to the horizontal control system established by the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC) for the City of Franklin.
The Certified Survey Map shall show correctly on its face, in addition to the information required by § 236.34 of the Wisconsin Statutes, the following:
A. 
Existing Features. All existing buildings, watercourses, drainage ditches, and other features pertinent to proper land division.
B. 
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 Certified Survey Map.

F. 
Existing and Proposed Contours. Existing and proposed contours at vertical intervals of not more than two feet. Elevations shall be marked on such contours based on National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (mean sea level). This requirement may be waived if the parcel(s) created are fully developed.
G. 
Floodplain Limits and Contours. 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.

I.

Area Contiguous to Certified Survey Map. Entire area contiguous to the proposed Certified Survey Map owned or controlled by the Subdivider shall be included on the Certified Survey Map even though only a portion of said area is proposed for immediate development. The Plan Commission may waive this requirement where it is unnecessary to fulfill the purposes and intent of this Ordinance and severe hardship would result from strict application thereof.
L.

Existing Zoning. The Certified Survey Map shall indicate on its face the current zoning and zoning boundary lines of all parcels, lots or outlots proposed to be created by the Certified Survey Map.

Location of Soil Boring Tests. Location of soil boring tests, where required by Chapters ILHR 83 and 85 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code as amended and in areas not served by municipal or sanitary district sewage treatment facilities, made to a depth of six feet, unless bedrock is at a lesser depth. The number of such tests shall be adequate to portray the character of the soil and the depths of bedrock and groundwater from the natural undisturbed surface. To accomplish this purpose, a minimum of one test per three acres shall be made initially. The results of such tests shall be submitted along with the Certified Survey Map.
O. 
Location of Soil Percolation Tests. Location of soil percolation tests where required by Chapters ILHR 83 and 85 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code as amended and in areas not served by municipal or sanitary district sewage treatment facilities, conducted in accordance with Chapters ILHR 83 and 85 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code as amended, taken at the location and depth in which soil absorption waste disposal systems are to be installed.

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 map is tied shall be indicated on the map. All distances and bearings shall be referenced to the Wisconsin Coordinate System and adjusted to the Regional Planning Commission's, County's, or municipality's control survey, whichever is applicable.
A. 
Surveyor's Certification of Compliance with Ordinance. The surveyor shall certify on the face of the Certified Survey Map that he has fully complied with all the provisions of this Ordinance.
