A preliminary plat shall be required for all
subdivisions and shall be based upon a survey by a registered land
surveyor and the plat prepared on tracing cloth, reproducible drafting
film, or paper of good quality at a map scale of not more than 100
feet to the inch and shall show correctly on its face the following
information:
A.
Title or name under which the proposed subdivision
is to be recorded. Such title shall not be the same or similar to
a previously approved and recorded plat, unless it is an addition
to a previously recorded plat and is so stated on the plat;
B.
Property location of the proposed subdivision by government
lot, quarter-section, township, range, county and state;
C.
General location sketch showing the location of the
subdivision within the U.S. Public Land Survey section;
D.
Date, graphic scale and north arrow;
E.
Names and addresses of the owner, subdivider and land
surveyor preparing the plat; and
F.
The 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 Village Plan Commission may waive this requirement
where it is unnecessary to fulfill the purposes and intent of the
chapter and severe hardship would result from strict application thereof.
All preliminary plats shall show the following:
A.
Exact length and bearing of the exterior boundaries
of the proposed subdivision referenced to a corner established in
U.S. Public Land Survey and the total acreage encompassed thereby;
B.
Existing and proposed contours at vertical intervals
of not more than two feet where the slope of the ground surface is
less than 10%, and of not more than five feet where the slope of the
ground surface is 10% or more. Elevations shall be marked on such
contours based on National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (mean sea
level);\
C.
Water elevations of adjoining lakes and streams at
the date of the survey and approximate high- and low-water elevations,
all referred to mean sea level (1929 datum);
D.
Floodplain limits and 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, five feet above
the elevation of the maximum flood of record;
E.
Location, right-or-way width and names of all existing
streets, alleys or other public ways, easements, railroad and utility
rights-of-way and all section and quarter-section lines within the
exterior boundaries of the plat or immediately adjacent thereto;
F.
Type, width and elevation of any existing street pavements
within the exterior boundaries of the plat or immediately adjacent
thereto together with any legally established center line elevations,
all to mean sea level (1929 datum);
G.
Location and names of any adjacent subdivisions, parks
and cemeteries, and owners of record of abutting unplatted lands;
H.
Location, size, and invert elevation of any existing
sanitary or storm sewers, culverts, and drain pipes, the location
of manholes, catch basins, hydrants, power and telephone poles, and
the location and size of any existing water and gas mains within the
exterior boundaries of the plat or immediately adjacent hereto. If
no sanitary or storm sewers or water mains are located on or immediately
adjacent to the lands being platted, the nearest such sewers and water
mains which might be extended to serve such lands shall be indicated
by their direction and distance from the nearest exterior boundary
of the plat and their size, and invert elevations;
I.
Locations of all existing property boundary lines,
structures, drives, streams and watercourses, marshes, rock outcrops,
wooded areas, railroad tracks and other similar significant natural
or man-made features within the tract being subdivided or immediately
adjacent thereto;
J.
Location, width and names of all proposed streets
and public rights-of-way such as alleys and easements;
K.
Approximate dimensions of all lots together with proposed
lot and block numbers;
L.
Location and approximate dimensions and sizes of any
sites to be reserved or dedicated for parks, playgrounds, drainageways,
or other public use, or which are to be used for group housing, shopping
centers, church sites, or other private uses not requiring lotting;
M.
Approximate radii of all curves;
N.
Existing zoning on and adjacent to the proposed subdivision;
O.
Any proposed lake and stream access with a small drawing
clearly indicating the location of the proposed subdivision in relation
to the access;
P.
Any proposed lake and stream improvement or relocation;
Q.
Soil type, slope, and boundaries as shown on the detailed
operational soil survey maps prepared by the U.S. Soil Conservation
Services;
R.
Location of soil boring tests, where required by Chapter
COMM 85 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code, 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 preliminary plat; and
S.
Location of soil percolation tests where required
by Chapter COMM 85 of the Wisconsin 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 preliminary plat.
The Village Plan Commission, upon the recommendation
of the Village Engineer, may require that the subdivider provide street
plans and profiles showing existing ground surface, proposed and established
street grades, including extensions for a reasonable distance beyond
the limits of the proposed subdivision when requested. All elevations
shall be based upon mean sea level (1929 datum), and plans and profiles
shall meet the approval of the Village Engineer.
The Village Plan Commission, upon the recommendation
of the Village Engineer, may require that borings and soundings be
made in specified areas to ascertain subsurface soil, rock and water
conditions, including depth to bedrock and depth to groundwater table.
The Village does not guarantee, warrant, or represent that only those
soils tested and shown to be unsuited for specific uses are the only
unsuited soils within the Village and thereby asserts that there is
no liability on the part of the Village Board of Trustees, its agencies,
or employees for sanitation problems or structural damages that may
occur as a result of reliance upon, and conformation with, this chapter.
Where the subdivision will not be served by public sanitary sewer
service, the provisions of Chapter COMM 85 of the Wisconsin Administrative
Code shall be compiled with, and the appropriate data submitted with
the preliminary lat.
The Village Plan Commission, upon the recommendation of the Village Engineer, after determining from a review of the preliminary plat that the soil, slope, vegetation, and drainage characteristics of the site are such as to require substantial cutting, clearing, grading, and other earthmoving operations in the development of the subdivision or otherwise entail a severe erosion hazard, may require the subdivider to provide soil erosion and sedimentation control plans and specifications. Such plans shall generally follow the guidelines and standards set forth in the U. S. Conservation Service Technical Guide, adopted by the Ozaukee County Land Conservation Committee, and shall be in accordance with standards set forth in § 176-69 of this chapter.
The Village Plan Commission shall require submission
of a draft of protective covenants, where a covenant is proposed,
whereby the subdivider intends to regulate land use in the proposed
subdivision and otherwise protect the proposed development. The covenants
shall be subject to the review and the approval of the Village Attorney
as to form.
The surveyor preparing the preliminary lat shall
certify on the face of the plat that it is a correct representation
of all existing land divisions and features and that he has fully
compiled with the provisions of this chapter.
