A.
The improvements prescribed in this chapter are required as a condition
of approval of a subdivision or land division. The required improvements
described in this chapter shall be installed, furnished and financed
at the sole expense of the land divider or subdivider. In the case
of required improvements in a commercial or industrial area, the cost
of such improvements may, at the sole discretion of the Village Board,
be financed through special assessments.
B.
Nonspecified standards. The required improvements in this chapter
shall be installed in accordance with the engineering standards and
specifications which have been adopted by the Village Board. Where
standards and specifications have not been adopted, the improvements
shall be made in accordance with good engineering practices, approved
prior to the start of construction by the Village Engineer.
A.
Engineering reports, construction plans and specifications. Preliminary
engineering plans shall be submitted with the filing of the preliminary
plat. At the final plat stage, or before construction begins, plans
for the required improvements, conforming in all respects with the
standards of the Village and Village Engineer and the ordinances of
the Village, shall be prepared at the land divider's or subdivider's
expense by a professional engineer registered in the State of Wisconsin,
under said engineer's seal. Such plans, together with the quantities
of construction items, shall be submitted to the Village Engineer
for approval and for estimation of the total cost of the required
improvements; upon approval, they shall become part of the required
public improvement agreement. Simultaneously with the filing of the
final plat with the Village, or as soon thereafter as practicable,
the subdivider shall furnish copies of the construction plans and
specifications.
B.
Action by the Village and Village Engineer. The Village Engineer
shall review the plans and specifications for conformance with the
requirements of this chapter and other pertinent Village ordinances
and design standards recommended by the Village and approved by the
Village Board. If the Village or Village Engineer rejects the plans
and specifications, the Village or Village Engineer shall notify the
subdivider, who shall modify the plans or specifications, or both,
accordingly. When the plans and specifications are corrected, the
Village and Village Engineer shall approve the plans and specifications.
C.
Construction and inspection.
(1)
The Village shall not issue building permits until all improvements
required by this chapter are satisfactorily completed.
(2)
Prior to starting any work covered by the plans approved above, the
land divider/subdivider shall obtain written authorization to start
the work from the Village upon receipt of all necessary permits and
in accordance with the construction methods of this chapter.
(3)
Construction of all improvements required by this chapter shall be
completed within three years from the date of approval of the final
plat by the Village Board, unless the land divider/subdivider demonstrates
good cause for the Village to grant an extension.
(4)
During the course of construction, the Village and Village Engineer
shall make such inspections as the Village deems necessary to ensure
compliance with the plans and specifications as approved. The land
divider/subdivider shall pay the actual cost incurred by the Village
for such inspections. This fee shall be the actual cost to the Village
of inspectors, engineers and other parties necessary to ensure satisfactory
work.
D.
Record drawings. After completion of all public improvements and
prior to final acceptance of said improvements, the land divider/subdivider
shall make three copies of record plans showing the actual location
of all valves, manholes, stubs, sewers and water mains and such other
facilities as the Village Engineer shall require. These plans shall
bear the signature and seal of a professional engineer registered
in Wisconsin. Village acceptance of the record drawings shall be a
condition of final acceptance of the improvements and release of the
financial security assuring their completion.
B.
A temporary surface meeting Village standards shall be installed
over the gravel base at the time of construction. (Note: Building
permits shall only be issued after installation of roadway surface.)
C.
After one freeze-thaw cycle, curb and gutter and a binder course
of asphalt complying with Village standards shall be installed. Installation
shall be as follows: first year, gravel base and temporary surface;
second year, binder course of asphalt. Manholes and valves shall initially
be installed at the binder course level, and on the third year, a
final course of asphalt complying with Village standards shall be
installed after repair of any settling and adjusting manholes and
valves to the finished level.[2]
