If no sanitary or storm sewers or water mains are located on or immediately adjacent to the lands being platted, the nearest such sewers or water mains which might be extended to serve such lands shall be indicated by their direction and distance from the nearest exterior boundary of the plat and their size and invert elevations.
O. 
Proposed lot (building site) evaluations shall be shown on the preliminary plat or grading plan. Lot (building site) elevations shall be one to two feet above the elevation of the roadway crown in the adjacent public street or as otherwise recommended by the Village Administrator.
P. 
Locations of all existing real property boundary lines, structures, streams and watercourses, wetlands, shorelands, rock outcrops, wooded areas, railroad tracks and other similar significant natural or man-made features within the tract being divided or immediately adjacent thereto.
Q. 
Location, width and names of all proposed streets and public rights-of-way.
R.

S. 
Approximate dimensions of all lots together with proposed lot and block numbers.
T. 
Location and approximate dimensions of any sites to be reserved or dedicated for streets, schools, parks, playgrounds, drainageways, or other public purposes or uses.
U.

X. 
Any proposed lake and stream improvement or relocation.
Y. 
Soil type, slope, and boundaries as shown on the detailed operational soil survey maps prepared by the United States Natural Resources Conservation Service.
Z. 
Location of soil boring tests, where required by Ch. SPS 385, Soil and Site Evaluations, Wis. Adm. Code, made to a depth of six feet, unless bedrock is at a lesser depth. The number of such tests shall be adequate to portray the character of the soil and the depths of the bedrock and groundwater from the natural undisturbed surface. To accomplish this purpose, a minimum of one test per three acres shall be made initially. The results of such tests shall be submitted along with the preliminary plat.
[Amended 8-3-2020 by Ord. No. 20-22]
AA. 
Location of soil percolation tests where required by Ch. SPS 385, Soil and Site Evaluations, Wis. Adm. Code, taken at the location and depth in which soil absorption waste disposal systems are to be installed. The number of such tests initially made shall not be fewer than one test per three acres or one test per lot, whichever is greater. The results of such tests shall be submitted along with the preliminary plat.
[Amended 8-3-2020 by Ord. No. 20-22]

[Amended 8-3-2020 by Ord. No. 20-22]
The divider/developer shall provide, with the preliminary plat, the first draft of engineering plans, including street plans, profiles and specifications showing existing ground surface and proposed and established street grades, including extensions for a reasonable distance beyond the limits of the proposed subdivision or large lot subdivision. All elevations shall be based upon the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (mean sea level) or North American Vertical Datum 1988 (mean sea level), and plans and profiles shall be designed in conformance with the requirements of this chapter, Chapter 405 and any applicable supplemental engineering design or construction standards or specifications. In addition, all plans shall clearly indicate which vertical and horizontal datum is being used.
[Amended 8-3-2020 by Ord. No. 20-22]
The Village Engineer, after determining from a review of the existing engineering studies or previous soil borings completed for the preliminary plat that the soil, slope, vegetation, or drainage characteristics of the site are such that the installation of public improvements will require additional engineering design studies or investigations, shall require that borings and soundings be made in specified areas to ascertain subsurface soil, rock and water conditions. Where the subdivision or large lot subdivision will not be served by public sanitary sewer service, the provisions of Ch. SPS 385, Soil and Site Evaluations, Wis. Adm. Code, shall be complied with, and the appropriate data shall be submitted with the preliminary plat.
The Village Engineer, after determining from a review of the draft preliminary plat that the soil, slope, vegetation, and drainage characteristics of the site are such as to require substantial cutting, clearing, grading, or other earthmoving operations in the development of the land division or otherwise entail a severe erosion hazard, shall require the divider to provide soil erosion and sedimentation control plans and specifications. Such plans shall generally follow the guidelines and standards set forth in the United States Department of Agriculture Conservation Technical Guide, prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Wisconsin Construction Site Best Management Practice Handbook, prepared by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, and shall be in accordance with standards set forth in § 395-83 of this chapter.
A. 
Filing; approval. Whenever the divider/developer proposes to regulate land use, density, environmental protection, street tree and planting maintenance, retention/detention basin maintenance, signage maintenance, street access, landscaping, building materials, or other matters in the proposed land division or development plan by means of restrictive covenants running with the land, the divider/developer shall file all such proposed restrictive covenants with the conceptual plan. All such restrictive covenants shall be subject to approval of the Village Board. Such covenants shall not conflict with and shall not be less restrictive than any applicable Village, county, state or federal statutes, ordinances, rules or regulations.
B. 
Maintenance. The divider/developer shall be required to create appropriate and satisfactory mechanisms to ensure that common areas, street trees and landscaped areas, outlots, retention and detention facilities and other similar areas are properly maintained. The Village of Pleasant Prairie shall be granted appropriate easements and authority to enforce the maintenance of such areas, or perform such maintenance itself, and to recover the costs of performing such maintenance or enforcing the restrictions, including its reasonable attorney fees.
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 the surveyor has fully complied with the provisions of this chapter.
