A.
Whenever a tract of land to be divided embraces all
or any part of a street, such public way shall be made a part of the
plat and either dedicated or reserved by the applicant in the locations
and dimensions indicated on such plan.
B.
Whenever a proposed park, playground, public access,
open space site or other public land, other than streets or drainageways,
designated in the adopted local, regional and county comprehensive
plan components is embraced, all or in part, in a tract of land to
be divided, such proposed public lands shall be made a part of the
plat and shall either be dedicated to the public or reserved for acquisition
at undeveloped land costs for a period not to exceed three years between
the applicant and the public agency having jurisdiction. If the reserved
land is not acquired by such public agency within the above time limit,
the land shall be released to the owner, unless otherwise prohibited
by an existing regional and/or county rule, regulation or ordinance.
A.
No construction or installation of improvements shall
commence in a proposed subdivision until the preliminary plat has
been approved by the Town of Buchanan Plan Commission and Town Board.
B.
Upon approval and recording of the final plat, the
subdivider shall install all street, utility and other improvements
as required in this section. Such improvements may be completed prior
to submission for approval of any final plat or final certified survey
map but must be made to the satisfaction of the Town Engineer or designee
within 12 months from the date of final plat approval or such approval
will be considered null and void. If for some reason the required
improvements cannot or should not be made within the prescribed twelve-month
period, the Town Board may extend the period and require a cash bond
or irrevocable letter of credit in an amount equal to 120% of the
cost of completing such improvements, as estimated by the Town Engineer
or designee, as a guarantee that the required improvements will be
made within a reasonable period prescribed by and satisfactory to
the Town Board. Any such cash bond or irrevocable letter of credit
shall remain in the custody of the Town, and the Town will not be
obligated to pay interest thereon. In no event shall the provision
of a cash bond or irrevocable letter of credit for completion of required
improvements remove the burden of such completion from the subdivider.
C.
All private sewerage systems in the Town of Buchanan
shall be constructed pursuant to applicable regulations of the Town
of Buchanan, Outagamie County, and the State of Wisconsin, including
Ch. Comm 83, Wis. Adm. Code.
D.
When it is proposed to establish a private water supply
and distribution system (or common sanitary system) to serve two or
more parcels or dwelling units, the applicant shall construct the
facilities in such a manner as to make adequate water service (and
sewer) available to each parcel within the subdivision or certified
survey map. Private water supply systems shall conform to all applicable
regulations of the State of Wisconsin.
E.
No drainageway contained within a drainage easement
shall be disturbed in accordance with the following:
(1)
No artificial obstruction may be constructed, planted
or maintained within any man-made or natural drainageway so that such
an obstruction impedes the natural flow of water and/or diminishes
the natural aesthetic quality of the drainageway.
(2)
Lot boundaries shall be made to coincide with new
and/or preexisting man-made and natural drainageways to avoid the
creation of lots that can be built upon by altering such drainageways.
(3)
Surface water shall not be regarded as unduly retained
or diverted, if:
(a)
The retention or diversion results from a technique,
practice or device deliberately installed as part of an approved sedimentation
or stormwater runoff control plan.
(b)
The retention or diversion is not substantially
different in location or degree than that experienced by the development
site in its predevelopment stage, unless such a retention presents
a danger to health or safety.
(c)
The retention or diversion results from the
actions of natural obstructions, whereby maintenance shall be performed
by the property owner.
(d)
The retention or diversion has been allowed
or required by the Town of Buchanan, Outagamie County Zoning Department,
or Outagamie County Land Conservation Department and noted on the
approved drainage plan.
The following plans and accompanying construction
specifications may be required by the Plan Commission and Town Board
before authorization of construction or installation of improvements:

of a septic field and a viable alternative location for a replacement
septic field on the site should the system fail.

Surface water drainage facilities, which may include
curb and gutters, catch basins and inlets, road ditches and open channels,
as may be required to provide adequate surface drainage for the subdivision.
E.
Erosion control plans in accordance with state, county,
and, if applicable, Town standards.
The applicant, prior to commencement of any
work within the land division, shall make arrangements with the Town
Board to provide for adequate inspection. The Town Board or designee
shall inspect and approve all completed work prior to approval of
the final plat or release of the sureties. All public improvements
shall be guaranteed against physical defect and repaired by the developer
for a period of one year following initial acceptance of such improvements
by the Town Board.
