[Prior code § 18.11(13)]
A.
Underground Requirements.
1.
All new electric distribution lines, all new telephone lines from
which individual lots are served, community antenna television cables
and services, and gas utility services shall be underground unless
the Plan Commission shall find upon study that:
2.
Associated equipment and facilities such as, but not limited to,
substations, pad-mounted transformers, pad-mounted sectionalizing
switches and pedestal-mounted terminal boxes, may be located above
ground, provided that they are located in an inconspicuous manner,
screened from public view and fit into the development plans for the
subdivision.
3.
The subdivider or his or her agent shall furnish proof to the Plan
Commission that such arrangements as may be required under applicable
rates and rules filed with the Public Service Commission of the state
of Wisconsin have been made with the owners of such lines or services
for placing their respective facilities underground as required by
this section, as a condition precedent to approval of the final plat,
development plan or certified survey map.
4.
Temporary overhead facilities may be installed to serve a construction
site or where necessary because of severe weather conditions. In the
latter case, within a reasonable time after weather conditions have
moderated or upon completion of installation of permanent underground
facilities, such temporary facilities shall be replaced by underground
facilities and the temporary facilities removed.
B.
Easement Conditions.
1.
Adequate easements shall be provided and dedicated on each side of
all rear lot lines, and on side lot lines, across lots, or along front
lot lines where necessary, for the installation of storm and sanitary
sewers, gas, water, electric lines and communication lines. Such easements
shall be noted as "Utility Easements" on the final plat or certified
survey map. Prior to approval of the final plat, the specific implementation
plan for a planned unit development (PUD), the comprehensive development
plan, or certified survey map, concurrence of the appropriate electric
and gas communications companies as to the location and width of the
utility easements shall be noted on the final plat, specific implementation
plan for the PUD, comprehensive development plan, or certified survey
map. All easements for storm and sanitary sewers, water mains, pedestrian
walks and other public purposes shall be noted thereon as "Public
Easements or" followed by reference to the use for which they are
intended.
2.
Where the electric and gas communications facilities are to be installed
underground, the utility easements shall be graded to within six inches
of final grade by the subdivider, prior to the installation of such
facilities, and earth fill, piles or mounds of dirt shall not be stored
on such easement areas. Utility facilities when installed on utility
easements whether overhead or underground shall not disturb any monumentation
in the plat. In cases where monumentation is disturbed, the utility
shall bear the cost of replacement. Failure to comply will be subject
to penalty as provided in Section 236.32, Wisconsin Statutes.
3.
Where the electric and gas communications facilities are to be installed
underground, a plat restriction shall be recorded with the final plat
or certified survey map stating that the final grade established by
the subdivider on the utility easements shall not be altered by more
than six inches by the subdivider, his or her agent, or by subsequent
owners of the lots, except with written consent of the utility or
utilities involved. The purpose of this restriction shall be to:
a.
Notify initial and future lot owners of the underground facilities
at the time of purchase;
b.
Establish responsibility in the event of damage to such facilities;
and
c.
Establish the need to alter such facilities. When the utility
company uses a service application, the application should also notify
the initial and subsequent lot owners of their responsibility regarding
such underground facilities.
[Prior code § 18.11(14)]
A.
Greenways and environmental corridors included within land to be
divided shall receive the following prescribed treatment by the owner
of the subdivision. Where a subdivision is traversed by a waterway,
drainage way, channel or stream, or mapped greenway/environmental
corridor, an adequate drainage way or easement shall be provided as
required by the Plan Commission conforming substantially with the
line of such watercourse. The location, width, alignment and improvement
of such drainage way or easement shall be subject to the approval
of the Plan Commission. Parallel streets or parkways may be required.
Storm water drainage shall be maintained by landscaped open channels
of adequate size and grade to accommodate the flow resulting from
the one-hundred-year rainfall event of any duration, such sizes and
design details to be subject to review and approval by the Village
Engineer.
B.
The subdivider shall be responsible for an acceptable continuous
drainage way through the proposed plat as determined by the Village
Engineer. The subdivider shall furnish the Village Engineer with a
plan outlining the greenway/environmental corridor boundaries and
the location of existing drainage ways. Such areas shall be dedicated
or reserved as required by Section 16.08.010(E). In addition, the
subdivider shall furnish to the Village Engineer a set of cross sections
(on fifty foot stations) of the greenway based on Village datum oriented
upon a base line as prescribed by the Village Engineer. Where a natural
drainage way exists which has acceptable hydraulic capacities including
alignment and grade as determined by the Village Engineer, construction
will not be required and the existing natural growth shall be preserved.
Where such natural growth is not preserved by action of the subdivider
or his or her agents, he or she shall be responsible for repairing
the disturbed areas by returning them to the original condition by
methods approved by the Village Engineer. When it is determined by
the Village Engineer that the hydraulic capacities including alignment
and grade are not acceptable, then such alignment, grade and slopes
shall be improved by the subdivider to the cross section specified
by the Village Engineer.
C.
The subdivider shall install permanent pipes or culverts at a grade
designated by the Village Engineer under all streets crossing a greenway
or drainage way. The installation shall be in accordance with the
state of Wisconsin Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction.
Culverts required across intersections for temporary street drainage
shall be furnished and installed by the developer. All temporary culverts
installed by the developer shall be completely removed when the streets
are constructed to Village standards and the area restored to as nearly
original condition as possible, as determined by the Village Engineer.
D.
In order to assure proper drainage, the ground elevation along any
lot line common with the boundary of a greenway/environmental corridor
shall be to an elevation approved by the Village Engineer. All lot
grading and building elevations shall provide for positive drainage.
Grading or filling within the greenway/environmental corridor limits
is prohibited.
E.
Greenways/environmental corridors shall be limited to public uses.
