Preliminary Consultation. Prior to the filing of an application for the approval of a preliminary plat, the subdivider shall consult with the Planning and Zoning Department and present a sketch plat of the preliminary plat area for review. At this review, or within 15 days thereafter, the Planning and Zoning Department shall inform the subdivider of any additions, changes, or corrections to the plat. The sketch plat shall be of reasonable accuracy, drawn to an appropriate scale, and include the following information:

(a)

Locational data including: boundaries of the property being considered for sale or development; a general description of all property owned or controlled by the subdivider contiguous to the proposed plat; the appropriate size/area of the parcel(s); names of the landowner(s) and surveyor; township, range and section in which the property is located; north arrow and scale; and date of the map;

(b)

Existing features including: roads, driveways/access points, utility easements, navigable waters, approximate location of the 100-year floodplain, and any other data pertinent to the preliminary consultation.

(2)

Preliminary Plat. The subdivider shall submit sufficient copies of the preliminary plat to the Planning and Zoning Department so that copies can be submitted by the Planning and Zoning Department to the agencies having authority to approve and object to plats under the provisions of Wis. Stats. §§ 236.10 and 236.12. The preliminary plat, based upon exterior boundary survey by a registered land surveyor, shall be in sufficient detail to determine if all requirements have been met, shall be shown on a map at a scale of one inch equals 100 feet, and shall include:

(a)

All information required on the sketch plat as per section 7.4.7(1);

(b)

A location sketch showing the location of the site with respect to surrounding roads and landmarks (not required for minor subdivisions), and any quarter-quarter section line, section line, township line, or range line within or abutting the proposed site;

(c)

Lot layout including widths or depths, the location and size of any principal or accessory structures together with their setbacks from any abutting road right-of-way and abutting lot lines;

(d)

Existing and proposed roads, utilities (the subdivider is encouraged to consult with appropriate utility companies prior to locating new utility easements), easements, parks, public access, community facilities and dedications or reservations of land;

(e)

Land characteristics including soil conditions, seasonally wet areas, rock outcrops and areas with slopes over 12 percent, delineation of the 100-year flood boundary and floodway boundary, waterways, ditches, and shorelines; at their discretion, the Planning and Zoning Department may also require appropriate topographic data to be shown;

(f)

Proposed filling, grading, lagooning, dredging, or surface drainage;

(g)

Delineation of any areas of restricted access along public roads which are within or abutting the proposed development, including access restrictions imposed by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation or by this section.

Any proposed restrictive covenants for the land involved shall be stated;

The approximate area, in square feet, of each lot and outlot, exclusive of road right-of-way. As pertains to county plats and minor subdivisions, the approximate area, in square feet, shall also be shown which is exclusive of road right-of-way. The exact area, in square feet, shall be shown on the final document;

(l)

The approximate area, in square feet, of any portion of a lot or outlot which is located within the boundaries of an incorporated municipality (city or village) and the approximate remaining area which is located outside the municipal boundaries. The exact area, in square feet, shall be shown on the final document.

The Planning and Zoning Committee shall approve, approve conditionally, or reject the preliminary plat within 90 days, as provided by Wis. Stats. § 236.11. Failure of the Planning and Zoning Committee to act within 90 days shall constitute approval, unless this time period is extended by mutual agreement with the subdivider.

(3)

Final Plat. The final plat shall conform to the preliminary plat as approved and to the requirements of all applicable ordinances and state laws including Wis. Stats. §§ 236.15, 236.20 and 236.21, and shall be submitted to those agencies having authority to approve or object to plats as provided in Wis. Stats. §§ 236.10 and 236.12, before any lots are sold. If desired by the subdivider, the final plat may consist of only that portion of the approved preliminary plat which he proposes to record at that time. However, such portion shall conform to all requirements of this section. Sufficient copies of a final plat of an approved preliminary plat or a portion thereof shall be submitted to the Planning and Zoning Committee within six months of the date of approval of the preliminary plat, otherwise their approval shall become null and void, unless an extension of time is applied for by the subdivider and granted by the Planning and Zoning Committee. The Planning and Zoning Committee or its designated agent, shall approve or reject the final plat within 60 days of its submission, unless the time is extended by agreement with the subdivider. If the Planning and zoning Committee or its designated agent fails to approve the final plat within 60 days, and if the time has not been extended, and if no unsatisfied objections have been filed within that period, the plat shall be deemed approved.

(4)

Replat. When it is proposed to replat a recorded subdivision, or part thereof, so as to change the boundaries of a recorded subdivision or part thereof, the subdivider or person wishing to replat shall vacate or alter the recorded plat as provided in Wis. Stats. §§ 236.36 through 236.44. The subdivider, or person wishing to replat, shall then proceed as specified in sections 7.4.7(1) through 7.4.7(3).
