(A) General requirements. A preliminary plat shall be required for all subdivisions and shall be based upon a survey by a registered land surveyor. The plat shall be prepared on four mil double matte Mylar at a map scale or not more than 100 feet to the inch and shall show correctly on its face the following information:
(1) Title or name under which the proposed subdivision is to be recorded. Such title shall not be the same or similar to a previously recorded plat with the county unless it is an addition to a previously recorded plat and is so stated on the plat;
(2) Property location of a proposed subdivision by government lot, quarter section, township, range, county, and state;
(3) Date, graphic scale, and north arrow;
(4) Names and addresses of the owner, subdivider, and land surveyor preparing the plat; and
(5) 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 Board 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 thereof.
(B) Plat data. All preliminary plats shall show the following:
(1) 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;
(2) Existing contours at vertical intervals within the proposed plat at least 75 feet outside the perimeter thereof of not more than one foot where the slope of the ground surface is less than 10% and of not more than four feet where the slope of the ground surface is 10% or more. Elevations shall be marked on such contours based on U.S.G.S. datum;
(3) Water elevations of adjoining lakes and streams at the date of the survey and approximate high and low water elevations, all referred to U.S.G.S. datum;
(4) Shoreland-wetland and floodplain limits and the contour line lying a vertical distance of two feet above the elevation of the 100-year recurrence interval flood or, where such data is not available, five feet above the elevation of the maximum flood of record;
(5) Location, right-of-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;
(6) 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 centerline elevations, all to U.S.G.S. datum;
(7) Location and names of any adjacent subdivisions, parks and cemeteries, and owners of record of abutting unplatted lands;
(8) Location, size, and invert elevation of any existing sanitary or storm sewers, culverts, and drain pipes; the location of manholes, catch basins, and electrical and communication facilities, whether aerial or underground; and the location and size of any existing gas mains with the exterior boundaries of the plat or immediately adjacent tract thereto. If no sewer mains are located on or immediately adjacent to the tract, the nearest such sewer mains which might be extended to serve the tract shall be indicated by their direction and distance from the tract, size, and invert elevations;
(9) Locations of all existing property boundary lines, corporate limit lines, structures, drives, streams and watercourses, marshes, rock outcrops, wooded areas, railroad tracks, and other similar significant natural or human-made features within the tract being subdivided or immediately adjacent thereto;
(10) Setbacks or building lines, if required by the Village Board, in accordance with the guidelines set forth in §§ 153.073;
(11) Location, width, and names of all proposed streets and public rights-of-way such as alleys and easements;
(12) Approximate dimensions of all lots, together with proposed lot and block numbers;
(13) Location and approximate dimensions and size of any sites within the plat to be reserved or dedicated for parks, open space, 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;
(14) Approximate radii of all curves;
(15) Existing zoning on and adjacent to the proposed subdivision;
(16) Any proposed lake and stream access with a small drawing clearly indicating the location of the proposed subdivision in relation to the access; and
(17) Any proposed lake and stream improvement or relocation.
(C) Street plans and profiles. 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.
(D) Testing. The Village Engineer may require that borings and soundings be made in specified areas to ascertain subsurface soil, rock, and water conditions, including depths to bedrock and depth to groundwater table.
(E) Covenants. The Village Board may require submission of a list of existing covenants and a list of covenants with which the subdivider intends to regulate land use in the proposed subdivision and otherwise protect the proposed development.
(F) Affidavit. The surveyor preparing the preliminary plat shall certify on the face of the plat that it is a correct representation of all existing land divisions and features and that he or she has fully complied with the provisions of this chapter.
