[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of
Grantsburg 7-9-2018 (at time of
adoption of Code). Amendments noted where applicable.]
A.
Grades to be established. The grade of newly constructed streets,
alleys and sidewalks shall be established by the Village Board and
the same recorded by the Village Clerk in his office. No street, alley
or sidewalk shall be worked until the grade thereof is established.
In all cases where the grade of sidewalks shall not have been specifically
set by ordinance, the sidewalks shall be laid to the established grade
of the street. All such grades heretofore established are hereby confirmed.
B.
New sidewalk grade. Whenever a street shall be improved for the first
time or the grade thereof changed and the street improved so as to
conform to the new grade the grading of the sidewalk shall be considered
a part of the improvement, shall be let by contract with the other
work of improving such street, and the expense thereof shall be provided
for and borne in all respects like that of improving the street.
No person shall alter the grade of any street, alley, sidewalk
or public ground or any part thereof in the Village of Grantsburg
by any means whatsoever unless authorized or instructed to do so by
the Village Board or Director of Public Works. All such alterations
of grade shall be recorded in the office of the Village Clerk.
A.
Elevation. The grade or elevation of all underground construction
shall be a minimum of three feet below the established grade of the
street, alley, park, public property or easement. The three feet shall
be measured between the top of the established grade and the top of
the underground construction.
B.
Approval of location. The location of any and all such underground
construction must have the approval of the Director of Public Works.
C.
Filing plans. Complete plans for any such construction must be filed
with and be approved by the Director of Public Works before construction
can begin.
D.
Inspection. On request of the Director of Public Works, the utility
company must provide opportunity for him to check any construction
before it may be covered.

Conflict with other utilities. If the grade or elevation herein set
for the underground construction of utilities shall, in any instance,
conflict with other existing utilities, the utility shall be required
to lower the elevation of its underground construction or of the storm
sewer, at the election of the Director of Public Works and in accordance
with his directions and specifications.
F.
Establishment of grade. At the request of the utility company, the
Director of Public Works shall, at the requestor's expense, give the
utility company an established grade on any streets, alleys, public
parks or easements where it proposes to install underground utilities.

in order to protect life or property, the utility company may proceed
with underground construction subject to obtaining the approval of
such work by the Director of Public Works as soon thereafter as is
reasonably possible.
H.
Restoration of surface. In the event of any such underground construction, the utility company shall leave the surface of the ground or road in the same condition as before said work was commenced, and in the event of its failure so to do, the Village may proceed to place the surface of the ground or street in such condition at the utility company's expense. Such work shall comply with the provisions of §§ 464-5 and 464-6.
I.
No relief from obligations. Compliance with this section does not
relieve the utility company from any responsibility of any kind whatsoever
by reason of the widening of the travel way or any other improvements
which may become necessary, nor does it relieve it from any liability
of any kind or nature whatsoever. Compliance with this section shall
not relieve the utility company from the responsibility or obligation
of removing, relocating or moving any of its mains, pipes or property
due to the opening, widening or improving of streets or due to any
other changes which may occur by reason of which such moving, relocation
or removing may be necessary.
No owner or occupant shall allow the sidewalk abutting on his
premises to be littered with rubbish or dirt. If such owner or occupant
shall refuse or fail to remove any such rubbish or dirt when notified
to do so by the Village Board or its designee, the Village Board or
its designee may cause the same to be done and report the cost thereof
to the Village Clerk, who shall spread the cost on the tax roll as

General.
(a)
All sidewalks shall be constructed of masonry meeting Wisconsin
Department of Transportation Standard specifications, unless otherwise
specified in this section.

Concrete sidewalk construction shall meet the specifications
and provisions set forth in this section and shall be constructed
in locations and to line and grade as established by the Village.
All sidewalks constructed in the Village shall conform to the line
and grade established by the ordinances or resolutions of the Village.
Where no grade has been established as ascertained by the records,
the Village Engineer shall prepare and report a grade for the approval
of the Village Board, and, when the same has been established, the
Village Engineer shall stake out the sidewalk as ordered by the Village
Board. No sidewalk shall be laid under the provisions of this section
until a grade therefor has been established by the Village Board.
(2)
Jointing, floating and finishing. Soon after screening and while
the concrete is still plastic, the surface shall be floated with wood,
cork or metal floats or by a finishing machine. At all places where
the sidewalk intersects another sidewalk or curbline, a one-half-inch
expansion joint shall be placed. Transverse expansion joints of 1/2
inch thick and four inches wide and five feet long or premolded material
shall be located every 30 feet. Sidewalks must be marked off to make
blocks five-foot square and be at right angles to the parallel lines.
Any new sidewalk adjoining an old sidewalk or a sidewalk which abuts
curb and gutter shall have one-half- by four-inch expansion joints
of premolded material.
(3)
Slope.
(a)
All forms must be approved by the Director of Public Works or
other inspector designated by the Director of Public Works before
concrete is poured. To provide adequate drainage, the sidewalk shall
slope toward the curb at a minimum rate of 1/2 inch per foot of width
of sidewalk. All joints and edges shall be finished with a one-fourth-inch
radius edging tool.
(b)
In cases where the grade exceeds 15%, steps or special construction
shall be required to fit the existing conditions. Such details shall
be prepared by the Village Engineer and approved by the Village Board
before construction of the walk is started.
(c)
Sidewalks shall be constructed within the limits of the street
right-of-way (terrace), and unless otherwise specifically indicated,
there shall be a one-foot strip of street property left between the
property line and the edge of the sidewalk.
(4)
Variances; location of materials.
(a)
Location. Where the location of a sidewalk in accordance with
the specifications established herein would severely conflict with
the location of trees, shrubs, or the root systems thereof, or other
topographic or existing features, a written variance to the specifications
may be issued by the Director of Public Works permitting the sidewalk
to be located so as to reduce such conflict. No variance shall be
issued if the public safety or welfare would be adversely affected
thereby. An application fee shall be charged for such variance as
prescribed in the Village of Grantsburg's Schedule of Fees.
(b)
Material. Where the property owner desires to use non-standard
materials such as brick, aggregate or cobblestone in the construction
of a sidewalk, a written variance to the specifications established
herein may be issued by the Village Board to permit the use of such
non-standard material. No variance shall be granted for any portion
of a sidewalk which crosses or is part of a driveway, nor shall a
variance be granted if the public safety or welfare would be adversely
affected thereby. A condition of the granting of a variance under
this subsection shall be the execution and recording of an indemnity
agreement running with the land binding the property owner, his successors
and assigns, holding the Village harmless from any liability, loss
or damage resulting from the use of such non-standard materials. An
application fee as prescribed in the Village of Grantsburg's Schedule
of Fees shall be paid at the time of applying for the variance.
(5)
Higher standards. Where deemed necessary by the Village, higher sidewalk
standards may be required by the Village Board.

feet from where pipe or conduit has been laid.
(2)
All necessary precautions shall be taken to guard the public effectively
from accidents or damage to persons or property through the period
of the work. Each person making such opening shall be held liable
for all damages, including costs incurred by the Village in defending
any action brought against it for damages, as well as cost of any
appeal, that may result from the neglect by such person or his employees
of any necessary precaution against injury or damage to persons, vehicles
or property of any kind.
(3)
Unless otherwise approved, a minimum of one lane of traffic in each
direction shall be provided. Every effort shall be made on the part
of the permittee to provide reasonable access to all properties adjacent
to his project. In the event traffic is limited to less than one lane
in each direction, a flagman or temporary traffic control signal shall
be provided so as to safely cycle traffic in each direction past the
work area.
(4)
The permittee shall perform the work in such a manner so as not to disrupt the flow of traffic in the area or endanger the safety of workmen or passersby.

case the cost of making such repair and of maintaining it for one
year shall be charged to the person making the street opening.
C.
Pavement removal.
(1)
Removal of existing pavement shall be to neat, straight lines. The
permittee shall make a final saw cut in the existing pavement after
backfilling. Excavations shall be kept to the minimum possible and
acceptable for the convenience and safe performance of his work and
in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations.
(2)
Precautions shall be taken to prevent damage to road pavements. Sheathing
and bracing or the use of a portable trench box should be used to
prevent undermining of material below the existing pavement. If damage
is done to the pavement, it shall be restored.
(3)
If the pavement is damaged during excavation beyond the original
saw cut lines, it shall be saw cut again along neat, straight lines.
The finished saw cut shall leave a regular rectangular section for
pavement replacement. Should the street opening occur within adjacent
or close to an existing patch or require more than one opening within
a short distance, the permittee shall identify and locate the existing
patches or additional openings on the permit application form. The
Director of Public Works shall, on the basis of an on-site inspection,
approximate the boundaries of the pavement replacement area.
(4)
Pavement replacement areas with the long dimension in the direction
of travel shall have the long dimension parallel with the curbline
or the direction of travel. Pavement replacement areas in concrete
pavements shall be parallel with or at right angles to the direction
of travel.
(5)
The Director of Public Works may order the permittee to remove and
replace up to one full lane width of pavement along the patched or
excavated area. Special care shall be taken with concrete pavement
to produce a vertical face on the existing concrete at the point of
the saw cut to ensure a full depth of concrete at the joint.
D.
Excavation.
(1)
All excavated material shall be piled in a manner such that pedestrian
and motor traffic is not unnecessarily disrupted. Gutters shall be
kept clear or other satisfactory provisions made for street drainage,
and natural watercourses shall not be obstructed.
(2)
Excavated material to be used for backfilling of the trench must
be so handled and placed as to be of as little inconvenience as practical
to public travel and adjoining tenants.
E.
Backfilling.
(1)
All backfill material shall be free from cinders, ashes, refuse,
vegetable or organic matter, boulders, rocks or stones greater than
eight inches in their greatest dimension, frozen lumps or other material
which in the opinion of the Director of Public Works is unsuitable.
(2)
In refilling the excavation, if there is not sufficient material
excavated suitable for refilling, the deficiency shall be made up
with material, approved prior to use by the Director of Public Works,
hauled in.
(3)
Wherever an excavation crosses an existing utility, pipe or other
structure, backfill shall be carefully compacted in stages from the
bottom of the excavation. Any sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water,
telephone, natural gas or other service shall not be interrupted by
the permittee. It shall be the permittee's responsibility to have
the various utilities locate and mark their facilities prior to excavation.
(4)
When allowed by the Village, mechanical compaction may be used on
all materials used for trench backfill. Each layer (twelve-inch maximum)
shall be uniformly compacted in a dry density of at least 95% of the
maximum dry density as determined by the Modified Proctor Test (ASTM
1557).
(5)
All excavations shall be subject to testing by the Village. Backfilled
material not achieving the above compaction requirements shall be
removed and recompacted by the permittee. The cost of any retesting
shall be paid by the permittee.
(6)

prior to backfilling and/or restoring the surface.
G.
Pavement replacement.
(1)
Backfill material shall be left below the original surface to allow
for aggregate base course layer matching or exceeding that of the
existing pavement structure. If paving will not occur as part of the
initial street restoration operation, the balance of the opening shall
be temporarily backfilled with crushed aggregate base course material
to the original surface elevation.
(2)
Bituminous pavement shall be placed to the full depth of the existing
pavement or three inches, whichever is greater. Bituminous pavement
shall be placed in a maximum of one-and-one-half-inch layers compacted
to maximum density. Paving mix design shall follow appropriate current
standards set forth by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation
for the facility type and traffic conditions of the roadway. The finished
surface shall be smooth and free of surface irregularities and shall
match the existing pavement and any castings or street appurtenances.
Allowable deviations shall be no more than 1/4 inch as measured with
a ten-foot straight edge. If hot mix is temporarily not available,
the hot mix shall be temporarily replaced with cold mix. The cold
mix shall be removed and replaced with hot mix upon availability.
(3)
Concrete pavement shall be placed to the full depth of the existing
pavement or seven inches, whichever is greater. Concrete used shall
not contain calcium chloride. The surface shall be given a light broom
finish. The edges shall be tooled to prevent spalling at the saw cut
edge. The surface shall be evenly and completely sealed with a white
pigmented curing compound. The surface shall be protected from traffic
for minimum of three days. Tie bars shall be installed as directed
by Village officials.

All permanent restoration of street, curb and gutter shall be of
the same type and thickness as the curb and gutter which abuts. The
grade of the restored curb and gutter shall conform to the grade of
the existing adjacent curb and gutter. Existing grass and terrace
areas shall be covered with a minimum of four inches of topsoil. Topsoil
shall be seeded with perennial grass seed at a rate of two pounds

In emergency excavations during winter months when it is not possible
to replace the removed pavement with a like material, the excavation
shall be temporarily resurfaced with a minimum of three inches of
cold mix bituminous material. This temporary wearing surface shall
be compacted and rolled smooth. These temporary wearing surfaces shall
be removed and replaced with material as specified above by not later
than the following June 1, except as provided above. Permanent pavements
shall be replaced within 60 days of the date of the permit.

emergency measures to remedy dangerous conditions for the protection
of property, life, health or safety without obtaining an excavation
permit, provided that such person, firm or corporation shall apply
for an excavation permit not later than the next business day and
shall notify the Village office immediately.
I.
Excavation in new streets limited. Whenever the Village Board determines
to provide for the permanent improvement or repaving of any street,

determination by the Village Board, the Village Clerk shall notify
each person, utility or other agency owning or controlling any sewer,
water main, conduit or other utility in or under said street or any
real property abutting said street that all such excavation work in
such street must be completed within 30 days. After such permanent
improvement or repaving, no permit shall be issued to open or excavate
said street for a period of five years after the date of improvement
or repaving unless, in the opinion of the Village Board or its designee,
conditions exist which make it absolutely essential that the permit
be issued. Every effort shall be made to place gas, electric, telephone
and television cable lines in street terraces.
J.
Repair by Village. The Village may elect to make the pavement repair
for any street or sidewalk opening, in which case the cost of making

constitute express permission of the property and/or business owner
for the Village to take corrective, remedial and removal action(s).

The failure of the Village Clerk to record such claim or to mail
such notice or the failure of the owner to receive such notice shall

for unpaid bills for abating the obstruction as provided for in this
section.
A.
