A map of land division, prepared in accordance with Section
236.34, Wisconsin Statutes, and in full compliance with the applicable
provisions of this chapter. A certified survey map has the same legal
force and effect as a subdivision plat.
A street used, or intended to be used, to carry traffic from
minor streets to the major system of arterial streets, including the
principal entrance streets to residential developments.
The plan adopted by the Village Board pursuant to Section 62.23 of the Wisconsin Statutes, including proposals for future land use, transportation, urban redevelopment and public facilities. Devices for the implementation of these plans include this chapter, Chapter 325, Zoning, the Official Map, capital improvement programs and economic development and housing programs.
Minor streets closed at one end with a turnaround provided
for passenger vehicles.
The unincorporated area within 11/2 miles of a fourth class
City or a Village and within three miles of all other cities.
A minor street auxiliary to and located on the side of an
arterial street for control of access and for service to the abutting
development.
A division of a parcel of land where the act of division
creates fewer than five lots, parcels or building sites of 15 acres
each or less in area or fewer than five lots, parcels or building
sites of 15 acres each or less in area by successive divisions within
a period of five years. All area calculations are to be exclusive
of any dedications, right-of-way easements or reservations.
A street used, or intended to be used, primarily for access
to abutting properties.
A dedicated corridor designated for public pedestrian usage.
The standard right-of-way for a pedestrianway is 10 feet with at least
five feet pavement or other all-weather surface width. A pedestrianway
may be approved by the Village in lieu of required sidewalks.
A form of development usually characterized by a unified
site design for a number of housing units. The concept usually involves
clustering buildings, providing common open space and mixing different
types of housing (single-family, duplexes and apartments). Ordinances
permitting planned unit developments permit planning a project and
calculating densities for the entire development rather than on an
individual lot-by-lot basis. Regulating planned unit developments
requires greater involvement of public officials in site plan review
and development design. It combines aspects of both zoning and subdivision
regulation since such developments require exceptions from both types
of regulation.
A map of a subdivision.
A map showing the salient features of a proposed subdivision
submitted to an approving authority for purposes of preliminary consideration.
Any public road, street, highway, walkway, drainageway or
part thereof.
The changing of the boundaries of a recorded subdivision
plat or part thereof.

or proposing to divide land resulting in a subdivision, land division
or replat.

creates five or more lots, parcels or building sites of 15 acres each
or less in area or five or more lots, parcels or building sites of
five acres each or less in area by successive divisions within a period
of five years. All area calculations are to be exclusive of any dedications,
right-of-way easements or reservations.
The area expected to be served by public sanitary sewer and
