The Plan Commission shall transmit a copy of the preliminary plat to all affected boards, commissions, or departments and, unless the subdivider has elected to submit directly to the state as provided in Wis. Stats. § 236.12, to all affected local utility companies for their review and recommendations concerning matters within their jurisdiction. Their recommendations shall be transmitted to the Village Board within 20 days from the date the plat is filed. The preliminary plat shall then be reviewed by the Plan Commission for conformance with this chapter and all ordinances, rules, regulations, Comprehensive Plan, and plan components which affect it, and the Plan Commission shall submit its recommendations to the Board within 60 days.

§ 153.032  PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL.
   (A)   The objecting agencies shall, within 20 days of the date of receiving their copies of the preliminary plat, notify the subdivider and all other approving and objecting agencies of any objections. If there are no objections, they shall so certify on the face of the copy of the plat and shall return that copy to the Village Administrator/Clerk.

One copy each of the plat and letter shall be placed in the Administrator/Clerk’s permanent file;
      (2)   Failure of the Village Board to act within 90 days shall constitute an approval of the plat as filed unless the review period is extended by mutual agreement; and
      (3)   Approval or conditional approval of a preliminary plat shall not constitute automatic approval of the final plat, except that if the final plat is submitted within six months of preliminary plat approval and conforms substantially to the preliminary plat, as indicated in Wis. Stats. § 236.11(1)(b), the final plat shall be entitled to approval.
(Prior Code, § 18.04)

   (E)   Timely Village Board action required. Failure of the Village Board to take action on the plat within 60 days, the time having not been extended and no unsatisfied objections having been filed, the plat shall be deemed approved.

§ 153.035  EXTRATERRITORIAL PLAT APPROVAL.
   (A)   When the land to be subdivided lies within one and one-half miles of the corporate limits of the village, subject to the limitation of Wis. Stats. § 66.0105, the subdivider shall proceed as specified in §§ 153.032 above, except:
      (1)   Transmittal responsibility lies with the Clerk of the town to whom the plat is first submitted and the subdivider shall indicate which one in his or her application;
      (2)   Approval agencies shall be as specified in Wis. Stats. § 236.10, and the subdivider must comply with the land subdivision ordinances of the town in which the plat lies;
      (3)   Subdivider may proceed with the installation of such improvements and under such regulations of the Town Board within whose limits the plat lies. Whenever connection to any utility of the village is desired, permission for such connection shall be obtained from the Village Board.

      (4)   All improvement requirements specified by the town in which the plat is located or any special improvement district shall be met before filing of the final plat.
   (B)   (1)   Subdivisions, lot splits, and CSMs in the village’s extraterritorial plat approval jurisdiction may not be less than 35 acres per parcel; condominium developments and planned unit developments/planned development overlays/cluster developments, where any unit is situated on less than 35 acres, are prohibited. The Village Board may approve subdivisions, lot splits, and CSMs less than 35 acres per parcel and condominium developments and planned unit developments/planned development overlays/cluster developments where any unit is situated on less than 35 acres, if the division meets the criteria stated in § 153.033.
      (2)   The village will not consider any subdivision, lot split, CSM, condominium development, or planned unit development/planned development overlays/cluster developments in its extraterritorial plat review jurisdiction regardless of parcel size or unit density until the proposal has been approved by the village and the extraterritorial plat review fees as provided in § 36.04 has been paid; such approval however, shall not limit the village’s extraterritorial plat approval authority.
      (3)   In approving the subdivision, lot split, CSM, condominium development, or planned unit developments/planned unit overlays/cluster developments, the village may impose any conditions necessary including, but not limited to, restrictive covenants and requiring a homeowner’s association.
      (4)   Plat review criteria for subdivisions, lot splits, CSMs, and condominium developments/planned development overlays/cluster developments with less than one unit per 35 acres in the village’s extraterritorial plat jurisdiction, shall be as follows:
         (a)   For agriculture lands, the proposed land division will assist and assure the continuation of the agriculture use;
         (b)   For non-agricultural lands, shall be compatible with adjacent land uses and shall maintain the general land use pattern of the area;
         (c)   Shall result in a development pattern which is compatible with surrounding developments and existing or planned land uses as measured by proposed use, lot sizes, traffic generation, access, noise, visual features, and other issues affecting development; and
         (d)   Shall not adversely affect the village’s planning or ability to provide public services.
