Submission Guidelines

1. General Guidelines

All submissions must be received by the Wednesday before the scheduled meeting or they will not appear on the agenda. Seventeen folded copies are required. If the submissions are 11x17, they should be folded so the project name is visible.  As of January 2, 2007 all materials must be submitted electronically in addition to the required paper copies.  This includes .pdf and CAD (if CAD is available).

2. Certified Survey Maps

Certified Survey Maps should be submitted with a fee of $150 plus $10 per lot.

3. Plats

Plats should be submitted, along with any right-of-way variance requests, with a fee of $100 for preliminary plats and $250 plus $10 per lot for Final Plats.

4. Site Plans

An initial meeting with staff is required before site plan submittal. Menasha's Site Plan Review Guide is available for download - keep checking this page for updates to the Site Plan Review Guide. An application and a fee based on developed area ratio (found in the Review Guide) are also required at submission. A site improvement agreement, along with letter of credit covering the entire cost of the landscaping and paving should be submitted with the application.

We recommend that you contact the Department of Community Development as soon as you have a concept in mind for the site. This helps avoid potential conflicts that may arise as a result of communication issues and keeps the project running smoothly.

5. Special Use Permits

The Special Use Permit Procedure is similar to the Site Plan procedure. The same Site Plan Review Guide is used in most cases and a staff consultation is required, but there is a different application. Two public hearings are involved - one at the Plan Commission level, and the other is held before the Common Council. The fee for Special Use Permit review is $200, and a site improvement agreement, along with letter of credit covering the entire cost of the landscaping and paving should be submitted with the application.

6. Rezoning

Rezoning requests require an application, a fee of $225, and copies of all deeds for the property(ies) in question. Two public hearings are involved - one at the Plan Commission level, and the other is held before the Common Council.
