Process for getting a Certified Survey Map (CSM)
2.25.04

1. The person wanting a CSM contacts a Registered Land Surveyor. The Surveyor should be someone who is familiar with the City of Madison's rules and who has done surveying in the area before.
 
2. The person wanting a CSM contracts with the surveyor for the CSM.
 
3. The surveyor prepares a "Preliminary CSM" - this is ultimately considered the CSM application.
 
4. The preliminary CSM is sent to Dane County Zoning.  It is reviewed to assure it meets Wisconsin Statutes and all Dane County ordinances.  If it passes their inspection…
 
5. It is then sent to Norbert Scribner (in Dane County).  He reviews it for zoning issues and many logistical things.  If all meets his approval, then...
 
6. If there is Extra-Territorial Zoning in the Township (which all land in Blooming Grove has) - the Preliminary CSM is sent to the City of Madison Planning department for review and approval.  Contact person here is Al Martin or a Mr. Roberts.  Phone # is 266-4635.  If it meets their approval then...
 
7. It is then officially certified by the surveyor and everyone else who has reviewed it.

8. The CSM is sent to the Town Office.
 
9. The Town Board must pass a resolution, approving the CSM.

10. It is signed by the Blooming Grove Town Clerk.
 
11. It is filed with the Register of Deeds.
 
NOTE: It is suggested that the person who wants the CSM might want to sit down and discuss the issue with the City of Madison first - because if they have no intention of approving it - all prior steps and expenses can be saved.
