The subdivider shall dedicate land for and improve streets as
provided herein.
A.
Streets shall be consistent with the general location of collector
and arterial streets from official mapped street maps (City of Neenah,
City of Oshkosh, or future Town Official Maps). In areas for which
an Official Map has not been completed, the street layout shall recognize
the functional classification of various street types and shall be
developed and located in proper relation to existing and proposed
streets, with due regard to topographical conditions, natural features,
utilities, land uses and public convenience and safety.
B.
All land divisions shall be designed so as to provide each lot with
satisfactory access to a public street as provided herein.
C.
The following conditions shall apply for street arrangement in all
proposed land divisions:
(1)
Arterial streets. Arterial streets shall be arranged so as to provide
ready access to centers of employment, high-density residential areas,
centers of government activity, community shopping areas, community
recreation and points beyond the boundaries of the community. They
shall also be properly integrated with and related to the existing
and proposed system of major streets and highways and shall be, insofar
as practicable, continuous and in alignment with existing or planned
streets with which they are to connect.
(2)
Collector streets. Collector streets shall be arranged so as to provide
ready collection of traffic from residential areas and conveyance
of this traffic on the major street and highway system and shall be
properly related to special traffic generators such as schools, churches
and shopping centers and other concentrations of population and to
the major streets into which they feed.
(3)
Minor streets. Minor streets shall be arranged to conform to the
topography, to discourage use by through traffic, to permit the design
of efficient storm and sanitary sewerage systems and to require the
minimum street area necessary to provide safe and convenient access
to abutting property.
(4)
Street intersections.
(a)
Streets shall intersect each other as nearly as possible at
right angles, and not more than two streets shall intersect at one
point unless approved by the Town Board.
(b)
The number of intersections along major streets and highways
shall be held to a minimum. Access to County roads shall be administered
by the Winnebago County Highway Department. Otherwise, wherever practicable,
the distance between such intersections should not be less than 600
feet.
(c)
Street jogs with center-line offsets of less than 125 feet shall
not be approved.
(5)
Proposed streets. Proposed streets shall extend to the boundary lines
of the tract being divided, unless prevented by topography or other
physical conditions or unless, in the opinion of the Town Board, such
extension is not necessary or desirable for the coordination of the
layout of the subdivision or for the advantageous development of adjacent
land tracts. Such streets shall terminate with a temporary turnaround
of 120 feet in right-of-way diameter and a roadway of not less than
90 feet in diameter.
(6)
Arterial street and highway protection. Whenever the proposed land
division contains or is adjacent to a major street or highway, adequate
protection of residential properties is required. Adequate protection
is met by limiting access and separating through and local traffic
and shall be provided by reversed frontage, with screen planting contained
in a nonaccess reservation along the rear property line or by the
use of frontage streets.
(7)
Reserve strips. Reserve strips controlling access to streets or alleys
shall be prohibited except where their control is definitely placed
with the Town or County.
(8)
Alleys. Alleys may be required in commercial and industrial districts
to provide for off-street loading and service access but shall not
be approved in residential districts unless required by unusual topography
or other exceptional conditions. Dead-end alleys shall not be approved
and alleys shall not connect to a federal, state or county trunk highway.
(9)
Street names. Street names shall not be duplicated or be similar
to existing street names, and existing street names shall be projected
or continued wherever possible.
A.
The minimum right-of-way of all proposed streets shall be as specified
on the adopted Town Road Construction Ordinance, available in the
Town Clerk's office.
B.
Minimum roadway width and surface width of all new land division
roads shall comply with the developer's agreement or § 82.50,
Wis. Stats., whichever is more restrictive.
C.
Cul-de-sac streets designed to have one end permanently closed should
not normally exceed 600 feet in length but can be up to 1,000 feet
in length, provided density is not more than 15 housing units being
served by said street. The Town may require an official mapped street
stub or future connection to an existing road to decrease the permanent
length of a cul-de-sac street. Such streets shall terminate in a circular
turnaround having a minimum right-of-way diameter of 130 feet and
a minimum roadway pavement diameter of 100 feet.
D.
Street grades shall comply with the developer's agreement, supplemented
by § 82.50, Wis. Stats. Street grades shall be established
wherever practicable so as to avoid excessive grading, the promiscuous
removal of ground cover and tree growth, and general leveling of the
topography.
E.
Radii of curvature. When a continuous street center line deflects
at any one point by more than 10°, a circular curve shall be introduced
having a radius of curvature on such center line of not less than
100 feet on minor streets. In general, arterial streets should have
a flatter horizontal and vertical curve than minor streets.
G.
Vision corner easements shall be required along state highways. The
petitioner shall contact The Department of Transportation's District
Office in Green Bay to obtain current standards for vision corner
requirements on a state highway.
H.
Any new or rebuilt bridges, culverts or roadways built within a floodplain
district shall meet all of the requirements established under the
County's Floodplain Ordinance and other Town/County Ordinances.
Where a tract, lot or parcel of land abuts a County-controlled limited access highway, defined in Chapter 7 of the Winnebago County General Code, access shall be provided by one of the following:
A.
Access control permit issued by the County Highway Department. The
road access permit shall be issued and the number shall be shown on
the face of the CSM or plat before said document is recorded.
B.
Easement to use an existing access.
C.
Frontage road dedicated to the public having an approved access.
D.
Variance approved by the Winnebago County Board of Adjustment. If
access is provided by an easement to use an existing access, then
the following provisions shall apply:
(1)
The parent parcel having an existing access shall allow access to
each subsequent parcel; and
(2)
Each subsequent parcel shall allow access to each additional subdivided parcel, not to exceed the maximum spacing requirements of Chapter 7, Winnebago County General Code.
(3)
Setback requirements will be applicable to the Town of Vinland's
Zoning Setback requirements as shown on Table 1.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: Table 1, Lot Size/Area Requirements Based on
the Vinland Zoning Code, is attached to this chapter.
(4)
Easement right-of-way shall be a minimum of 66 feet in width and
shall not include public right-of-way (overlap) within the easement
width.
Whenever the proposed land division contains or is adjacent
to a limited access highway or railroad right-of-way, the design shall
provide the following treatment:
A.
When residential lots within the proposed land division back upon
the right-of-way of an existing or proposed limited access highway
or railroad, the following restriction shall be lettered on the face
of the plat: "Direct vehicular access to (name of road) from lots
abutting such road is prohibited."
B.
Commercial and industrial districts should provide, on each side
of the limited access highway or railroad right-of-way, streets approximately
parallel to and at a suitable distance from such highway or railroad
for the appropriate use of the land between such street and highway
or railroad right-of-way, but not less than 150 feet.
C.
Streets parallel to a limited access highway or railroad right-of-way,
when intersecting a major street, highway or collector street which
crosses such railroad or highway, shall be located at a minimum distance
of 250 feet from such highway or railroad right-of-way. Such distance,
where desirable and practicable, shall be determined with due consideration
of the minimum distance required for the future separation of grades
by means of appropriate approach gradients.
D.
Minor streets immediately adjacent and parallel to a railroad right-of-way
should be avoided.
E.
State of Wisconsin setback requirements from a state highway.
The widths, lengths and shapes of blocks shall be suited to
the planned use of the land, zoning requirements, need for convenient
access, control and safety of street traffic and the limitations and
opportunities of the topography.
A.
Length. Blocks in residential areas should not as a general rule
be less than 500 feet nor more than 1,500 feet in length unless otherwise
dictated.
B.
Width. Blocks shall have sufficient width to provide for two tiers
of lots of appropriate depth, except where otherwise required to separate
residential development from through traffic or where lots abut a
lake or stream. Width of lots or parcels reserved or laid out for
commercial or industrial use shall be adequate to provide for off-street
service and parking required by the use contemplated and the area
zoning provisions for such use.
All utility lines for electric power and telephone service shall
be placed on midblock easements along rear lot lines whenever carried
on overhead poles, except where lots abut a lake or stream or where
such location is deemed engineeringly unfeasible by the utility company
involved. At the discretion of the Town, all utility lines may be
required to be buried.
A.
Proposed subdivisions shall have a maximum of 160 acres. The minimum
number of lots in a development shall be 10 lots in Zone 1 and 20
lots in Zone 2.
B.
The size, shape and orientation of lots shall be appropriate for
the location of the subdivision and for the type of development and
use contemplated. The lots should be designed to provide an aesthetically
pleasing building site and a proper architectural setting for the
building contemplated.
(1)
Side lot lines should be at approximate right angles to straight
street lines or radial to curved street lines on which the lots face.
Lot lines shall follow Town boundary lines rather than cross them.
(2)
Double frontage and reversed frontage lots shall be prohibited, except
where necessary to provide separation of residential development from
through traffic or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography
and orientation.
(3)
Lot frontage.
(a)
Lot frontage requirements are identified by zoning category
in the Town of Vinland Zoning Code (Table 1).[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: Table 1, Lot Size/Area Requirements Based on
the Vinland Zoning Code, is attached to this chapter.
(b)
A CSM or plat creating a new parcel without frontage on a public
street shall contain the following statement:
[1]
"Applications for Town zoning permits for residential structures
(principal or accessory) and all other principal structures, except
agricultural, shall not be considered for approval until the parcel
meets the public street frontage and lot width requirements of the
applicable nonagricultural zoning district (as noted in Table 1)."
(c)
Area and dimensions of lots shall conform to the requirements
of Table 1[2] of this chapter and § 361-7 for the Town's lot size restrictions based on geographic zones.
[2]
Editor's Note: Table 1, Lot Size/Area Requirements Based on
the Vinland Zoning Code, is attached to this chapter.
(d)
Whenever a tract is subdivided into parcels with area in excess
of the zoning requirements, such parcels should be arranged and dimensioned
so as to allow redivision of any such parcels into normal lots in
accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
(4)
Lots should be designed and a suitable proportion between width and
depth. Lots that are long, narrow, wide or shallow are normally desirable.
Normal depth should not exceed 2 1/2 times the width nor be less
than 150 feet.
(5)
Width of lots shall conform to the requirements of Table 1.[3]
[3]
Editor's Note: Table 1, Lot Size/Area Requirements Based on
the Vinland Zoning Code, is attached to this chapter.
(6)
Corner lots shall be designed with extra width to permit adequate
building setback from both streets.
Building setback lines shall conform to the requirements established
in the Town of Vinland's zoning requirements (Table 1[1]) and shall be shown on the preliminary plat for determination
of buildable area.
[1]
Editor's Note: Table 1, Lot Size/Area Requirements Based on
the Vinland Zoning Code, is attached to this chapter.
A subdivision in the Town of Vinland shall comply with provisions
of Section 23.15 (stormwater and erosion control) of the Winnebago
County Town/County Zoning Ordinance.
Any created pond or lake or any enhancement of a quarry or other
body of standing water within the boundary of any land division shall
be owned and maintained by a homeowners' association. The homeowners'
association document shall specify that all lot owners within the
subdivision shall have equal rights to said water feature.
