Title under which the proposed subdivision is to be recorded.
(2) 
Legal description/location of the proposed subdivision by government lot, quarter section, township, range, county and state.
(3) 
Date, scale and North point.
(4) 
Names, telephone numbers and addresses of the owner, subdivider and land surveyor preparing the plat.
(5) 
Entire area contiguous to the proposed plat owned or controlled by the subdivider shall be included on the preliminary plat even though only a portion of said area is proposed for immediate development. The City Engineer may waive this requirement where adjacent development patterns have already been established.
B. 
Plat data. All preliminary plats shall show the following:
(1) 
Exact length and bearing of the exterior boundaries of the proposed subdivision referenced to a corner established in the United States Public Land Survey and the total acreage encompassed thereby.
(2) 
Locations of all existing property boundary lines, structures, drives, streams and watercourses, marshes, rock outcrops, wooded areas, railroad tracks and other significant features within the tract being subdivided or immediately adjacent thereto.

At least two permanent bench marks shall be located in the immediate vicinity of the plat; the location of the bench marks shall be indicated on the plat, together with their elevations referenced to mean sea level datum and the monumentation of the bench marks clearly and completely described. Where, in the judgment of the City Engineer, undue hardship would result because of the remoteness of the parcel from a mean sea level reference elevation, another datum may be used.
C. 
Deed restrictions. Restrictive covenants and deed restrictions for the proposed subdivision shall be filed with the final plat.
D. 
Property owners' association. The legal instruments creating a property owners' association for the ownership and/or maintenance of common lands in the subdivision shall be filed with the final plat.
E. 
Street dedication. Public rights-of-way for streets and other public areas shall be dedicated to the City with final plat approval. Such dedications shall require the owner's certificate and the mortgagee's certificate in substantially the same form as required by § 236.21(2)(a), Wis. Stats.
F. 
Survey accuracy.
(1) 
Examination. The Common Council and Planning Commission, or their designees, shall examine all final plats within the City of Glenwood City and may check for the accuracy and closure of the survey, the proper kind and location of monuments, and legibility and completeness of the drawing.
(2) 
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 5,000 (1:5,000) nor, in azimuth, four seconds of arc per interior angle. If field measurements exceed this maximum, new field measurements shall be made until 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.
(3) 
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 checks disclose an error for any interior line of the plat greater than the ratio of one part in 3,000 (1:3,000) or an error in measured angle greater than one minute of arc 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 arc.
(4) 
Plat location. Where the plat is located within a quarter section, the corners of which have been relocated, monumented and coordinated by the City, the tie required by § 236.20(3)(b), Wis. Stats., may be expressed in terms of grid bearing and distance, 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 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.
G. 
Surveying and monumenting. All final plats shall meet all the surveying and monumenting requirements of § 236.15, Wis. Stats.
H. 
State plane coordinate system. Where the plat is located within a quarter section, the corners of which have been relocated, monumented and coordinated by the City, the plat shall be tied directly to one of the section or quarter corners so relocated, monumented and coordinated. 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. All distances and bearings shall be referenced to the Wisconsin Coordinate System, South Zone, and adjusted to the City's control survey.
I. 
Certificates. All final plats shall provide all the certificates required by § 236.21, Wis. Stats., and in addition the surveyor shall certify that he has fully complied with all the provisions of this chapter.
A. 
Additional information. The certified survey map shall show correctly on its face, in addition to the information required by § 236.34, Wis. Stats., the following:

B. 
State plane coordinate system. Where the map is located within a quarter section, the corners of which have been relocated, monumented and coordinated by the City, the map shall be tied directly to one of the section or quarter corners so relocated, monumented and coordinated. 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, South Zone, and adjusted to the City's control survey.
C. 
Certificates. The surveyor shall certify on the face of the certified survey map that he has fully complied with all the provisions of this chapter. The Common Council shall certify its approval on the face of the map.
D. 
Street dedication. Dedication of streets and other public areas shall require, in addition, the owner's certificate and the mortgagee's certificate in substantially the same form as required by § 236.21(2)(a), Wis. Stats.
E. 
Recordation. The subdivider shall record the map with the County Register of Deeds as provided in § 435-9D of this chapter. Failure to do so shall necessitate a new review and reapproval of the map by the Common Council.
F. 
Requirements. To the extent reasonably practicable, the certified survey shall comply with the provisions of this chapter relating to general requirements, design standards and required improvements. Conveyance by metes and bounds shall be prohibited where the lot(s) involved is less than 1 1/2 acres or 300 feet in width.
