A final plat prepared by a registered land surveyor shall be required for all subdivisions. It shall comply in all respects with the requirements of § 236.20, Wis. Stats.
A. 
The plat shall show correctly on its face, in addition to the information required by § 236.20, Wis. Stats.:
(1) 
Exact length and bearing of the center line of all streets.

Exact street width along the line of any obliquely intersecting street.
(3) 
Railroad rights-of-way within and abutting the plat.
(4) 
Setbacks or building lines required by the Village of Johnson Creek Plan Commission in accordance with the guidelines set forth in this chapter.
(5) 
All lands reserved for future public acquisition or reserved for the common use of property owners within the plat. If property reserved for common use is located within the subdivision, provisions and plans for its use and maintenance shall be submitted with the plat. A note shall be placed on the face of the plat noting ownership and maintenance of all common use areas and that deed restrictions are on file at the Jefferson County Register of Deeds.
(6) 
Special restrictions required by the Village of Johnson Creek Plan Commission and any other approving or objecting agency relating to access control along public ways, the provision of planting strips, solar access restrictions, preservation of wetlands, more restrictive yard requirements, or special restrictions for environmentally significant lands.
(7) 
Location, area, depth, and type of the soil absorption waste disposal system for each building site, if applicable.
(8) 
Floodplain limits of the one-hundred-year recurrence interval flood as determined by the federal flood insurance study or other technical document, or, where such data is not available, the elevation shall be determined by a registered professional engineer and the sealed documents shall be approved by the Village Engineer; the contour line 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, the elevation shall be determined by a registered professional engineer and the sealed documents shall be approved by the Village Engineer, within the exterior boundaries of the plat or located within 100 feet therefrom.
(9) 
Delineation of all wetlands and shoreland/wetlands based on a field staking by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, or other agency or firm certified to make such delineation by the federal government or the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
(10) 
Location of soil boring tests. 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.
(11) 
Location of soil percolation tests where required by the Wisconsin Department of Commerce Administrative Code, taken at the location and depth in which soil absorption waste disposal systems are to be installed. The number of such tests initially made shall not be less than one test per three acres or one test per lot, whichever is greater. The results of such tests shall be submitted along with the certified survey map.
B. 
Easements shall be shown on the final plat and shall be limited to utility easements, drainage easements, conservation easements, access easements, scenic easements, mineral easements, or air rights easements. Easements shall not be used for the conveyance of street rights-of-way, pedestrian rights-of-way, park or school lands, or other public lands requiring dedication.[1]

C. 
A note on the face of the plat noting ownership and maintenance obligations of all drainage swales, easements, retention and detention ponds or other facilities shall be required.

Where the Village Board, Plan Commission, or Village Engineer finds that it or he requires additional information relative to a particular problem presented by a proposed development to review the final plat, it or he shall have the authority to request in writing such information from the subdivider.
The Village Engineer shall examine all final plats within the Village of Johnson Creek and may make, or cause to be made by a registered land surveyor under the direction of the Village Engineer, such field checks as the Village Engineer may deem necessary or desirable for the accuracy and closure of survey, the proper kind and location of monuments and legibility and completeness of the drawing.
A. 
The maximum error of closure before adjustment of the survey of the exterior boundaries of the subdivision shall not exceed that which is permitted by state statute.
B. 
All street, block and lot dimensions shall be computed as closed geometric figures based upon the control provided by the closed exterior boundary survey.
C. 
Where the plat is located within a United States Public Land Survey quarter section, the corners of which have been relocated, monumented and coordinated by the Village of Johnson Creek, Jefferson County, the tie required by § 236.20(3)(b), Wis. Stats., shall 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, and the street, block and lot dimensions shall comply with the requirements of § 236.15, Wis. Stats.
D. 
The Village Board shall receive the results of the Village Engineer's examination prior to approving the final plat.
All final plats shall meet all the surveying and monumenting requirements of § 236.15, Wis. Stats.
Where the plat is located within a United States Public Land Survey quarter section the corners of which have been relocated, monumented and placed on the Wisconsin State Plane Coordinate System by the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission, Jefferson County or the Village of Johnson Creek, the plat shall be tied directly to two or more 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 type of monument and Wisconsin State Plane Coordinates of the monument marking the relocated section or quarter corners 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. 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 and as adjusted to the Village of Johnson Creek's control survey.
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.
The final plat shall be recorded with the Jefferson County Register of Deeds only after the certificates of the Village Board and of the surveyor and those certificates required by § 236.21, Wis. Stats., are placed on the face of the plat. The plat shall be recorded by the Village of Johnson Creek Clerk-Treasurer within 30 days of its approval by the Village Board, provided that the recording fees have been tendered as required by § 245-27 of this chapter.
