As provided in Wisconsin Statutes §236.10(5), the Village of Cottage Grove <br /> hereby waives its right to approve the proposed plat within that portion of its <br /> extraterritorial plat approval jurisdiction in the Town of Cottage Grove depicted <br /> as the Subdivision Area on the Town Map attached hereto as Exhibit A, which <br /> Subdivision Area is legally described as set forth in the attached Exhibit B, <br /> both of which are incorporated by reference. <br />
