§ 48-102. Preliminary plat map.

Preliminary plats are required for all major subdivisions. The preliminary plat shall be based on a survey by a land surveyor registered in this state. The plat shall be submitted at a scale of not more than 100 feet to one inch, shall conform to standards set forth in Wis. Stats. ch. 236 and shall additionally show the following information:

(1)

Name of the proposed subdivision.

(2)

Name and address of the owner, subdivider and land surveyor preparing the plat.

(3)

Date, graphic scale and north arrow.

(4)

Location of the proposed subdivision by government lot, quarter section, township, range and county; and a location map showing the relationship between the plat and its surrounding area.

(5)

Entire contiguous area to the proposed plat which is owned or controlled by the subdivider. The county planner may waive this requirement where it is unnecessary to fulfill the purposes and intent of this chapter and undue hardship would result from strict application of this requirement.

(6)

For areas within the 100-year floodplain or for other critical areas, the county planner may require two-foot contour interval maps, prepared by a surveyor or engineer registered in the state, in addition to all other requirements under this section as part of the preliminary plat review in floodplain areas.

(7)

The location and dimensions of the exterior boundaries of the proposed subdivision referenced to a corner established by the U.S. Public Land Survey, and the acreage encompassed within. Where available, section corners with county coordinate values shall be referenced and digital copies of the plat must be submitted if available.

(8)

The location of existing property lines, buildings, streams and watercourses, lakes, ponds, groups of trees, easements, alleys, railroads and zoned shoreland, wetland or floodplain areas, within or adjacent to the proposed subdivision.

(9)

The location and names of any adjacent subdivisions, parks and cemeteries and owners of record of abutting unplatted lands.

(10)

Location, right-of-way width and names of any existing or proposed streets or other public ways, existing railroads and existing and proposed utility rights-of-way and easements.

(11)

Layout and scale dimensions of all lots and proposed lot and block numbers.

(12)

Locations of soil borings and percolation test holes and results of such investigations tied to the appropriate Comm form as required by Comm 85 of the Wis. Admin. Code.

(13)

Existing and proposed land uses and zoning included within or adjacent to the proposed subdivision.

(14)

Draft of any proposed protective covenants, if any, to be imposed.

(15)

Surface drainage pattern mapping showing direction, flow and location and site of proposed drainage structures for the proposed subdivision.

(16)

Conceptual plans done in accordance with guidelines and standards of the county soil conservation office, which identify soil conservation and erosion control measures such as gutters, ditches, catchbasins, storm sewers, culverts, open channels, retention or detention basins, terraces and similar practices, keyed to locations on the preliminary plat.

Where the county planner finds that additional information is required relative to a particular problem presented by a proposed development in order to review the preliminary plat, he or she shall have the authority to request such information from the subdivider.
