(3) Wisconsin Non-Profit Membership Corporation (Homeowners' Association).
The submission to the Village Board and Plan Commission of the final draft of the legal instruments and rules for any proposed Wisconsin non-profit membership corporation (homeowners' association), when the Subdivider or Condominium Developer (as applicable) proposes that property within a Subdivision would be either owned or maintained by such an organization of property owners or a subunit of the Village pursuant to Section 236.292, Wis. Stats., whereby the Subdivider or Condominium Developer (as applicable) intends to regulate land use in the proposed Subdivision and otherwise protect the proposed development. (See also Section 14-1-23.)
(4) Village Attorney Review.
The Village Attorney shall review all final declaration of deed restrictions and protective covenants, conservation easements, and homeowners' associations and shall approve said final instruments as to form.
(d) State Plane Coordinate System. Where the plat is located within a U.S. Public Land Survey quarter-section, the comers of which have been relocated or monumented by the County or municipality, the Final Plat shall be tied directly to one of the section or quarter corners so relocated and monumented:
(1) Grid Bearing and Distance of Tie Determined by Field Measurements.
The exact grid bearing and distance of such tie shall be determined by field measurements, and the material and Wisconsin state plane coordinates of the monument marking the relocated section or quarter comer, to which the plat is tied, shall be indicated on the plat.
(2) Closed Survey Required.
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.
(3) Reference to the Wisconsin Coordinate System.
All distances and bearings shall be referenced directly to the Wisconsin Coordinate System and adjusted to the County's control survey.
(e) Certificates. All Final Plats shall provide all certificates required by Section 236.21, Wis. Stats. The certificate shall contain a description of the survey beginning at the U.S. Public Land Survey corner to which the survey is tied. In addition, the surveyor shall certify that he or she has fully complied with all the provisions of this Chapter.
(f) Recordation. The Final Plat shall only be recorded with the County Register of Deeds after the certificates of the Wisconsin Department of Administration, of the Village Board, of the Surveyor, and those certificates required by Section 236.21, Wis. Stats., are placed on the face of the Final Plat. The Final Plat shall be recorded as set forth in Section 14-l-33(i).
(g) Correction Instruments for Final Plats.
(1) Types.
Correction instruments relating to recorded Final Plats may be recorded in the County Register of Deeds office and may include:
a. Affidavits to correct distances, angles, directions, bearings, chords, block or lot numbers, street names, or other similar details shown on a recorded Final Plat, which shall be approved by the Village Board, prior to recording, after review and recommendation of the Plan Commission.
b. Ratification of a recorded Final Plat, signed and acknowledged in accordance with Section 706.07, Wis. Stats.
c. Certificates of owners and mortgages of record at the time of recording.
(2) Limitations on Use. Correction instruments shall create neither new buildable lots nor nonconforming.
(h) Survey Accuracy.
(1) Examination.
The Village Engineer shall examine all Final Plats within the Village of Edgar and may check for the accuracy and closure of the survey, the proper kind and location of monuments, and legibility and completeness of the drawing.
(2) Maximum Error of Closure.
Maximum error of closure before adjustment of the survey of the exterior boundaries of the subdivision shall not exceed, in horizontal distance or position, the ratio of one part in ten thousand (I: 10,000), nor in azimuth, four (4) seconds of arc per interior angle. If field measurements exceed this maximum, new field measurements shall be made until a satisfactory closure of the field measurements has been obtained; the survey of the exterior boundary shall be adjusted to form a closed geometric figure.
(3) Street, Block and Lot Dimensions.
All street, block and lot dimensions shall be computed as closed geometric figures based upon the control provided by the closed exterior boundary survey. If checks disclose an error for any interior line of the plat greater than the ratio of one part in five thousand (1:5,000), or an error in measured angle greater than one (I) minute of arc for any angle where the shorter side forming the angle is three hundred (300) feet or longer, necessary corrections shall be made. Where the shorter side of a measured angle is less than three hundred (300) feet in length, the error shall not exceed the value of one (I) minute multiplied by the quotient of three hundred (300) divided by the length of the shorter side; however, such error shall not in any case exceed five (5) minutes of arc.
(4) Plat Location.
Where the plat is located within a quarter section, the corners of which have been relocated, monumented and coordinated by the Village, the tie required by Section 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.
(5) Plan Commission Receipt of Results of Village Engineer's Examination.
The Plan Commission shall receive the results of the Village Engineer's or Village Planner's examination prior to recommending approval of the Final Plat to the Village Board.
(i) Surveying and Monumenting. All Final Plats shall meet all the surveying and monumenting requirements of Section 236.15, Wis. Stats.
