The subdivider shall construct streets, roads
and alleys as outlined on the approved plans based on the requirements
of this chapter.
A. General considerations. The streets shall be designed
and located in relation to existing and planned streets, to topographical
conditions and natural terrain features such as streams and existing
tree growth, and to public convenience and safety and in their appropriate
relation to the proposed uses of the land to be served by such streets.
B. Construction standards. Construction of all streets
shall conform to the current standards as established by the Village
Board and this chapter and shall be subject to approval of the Village
Engineer before acceptance.
C. Official Map. The arrangement, width, grade and location
of all streets shall conform to the Official Map.
D. Street construction. After sanitary sewer, storm sewer,
water, and other necessary utilities have been installed, the subdivider
shall construct and dedicate as part of the subdivision streets and
curbs and gutters. The subdivider shall surface roadways to the widths
prescribed by Village specifications. Construction shall be to Village
standard specifications for street improvements.
E. Completion of street and sidewalk construction.
(1) No building permit shall be issued for the construction
of any residential dwelling until sewer, water, grading and graveling
are installed in the streets necessary to service the property for
which the permit is required.
(2) The Village Board may issue a waiver of these requirements
in unusual or special circumstances, such as excessively severe weather
conditions, heavy construction temporarily in area or construction
material shortages (i.e., cement, asphalt). The issuance of a waiver
shall be at the discretion of the Village Board.
(3) The subdivider requesting a waiver shall do so in
writing, presenting such information and documentation as required
by the Village Board. The waiver shall be in written form and shall
detail which improvement requirements are temporarily waived and for
what period of time.
[Amended 8-24-2020]
After the installation of all utility and stormwater drainage
improvements, the subdivider shall, if mandated by the Village Board,
construct concrete curbs and gutters in accordance with plans and
standard specifications approved by the Village Board, on file with
the Village Clerk-Treasurer. Wherever possible, provision shall be
made at the time of construction for driveway access curb cuts. The
foregoing notwithstanding, the Village Board may, in its sole discretion,
waive the requirement for concrete curbs and gutters in lieu of excavated
drainage ditches and culverts in instances where the following conditions,
as determined by the Village Engineer, are appropriate and applicable:
A. The development is to have a more rural feel;
B. The ditches and culverts will slow the rate of water runoff;
C. The ditches and culverts will enable water to flow more naturally;
D. The ditches and culverts will alleviate maintenance for the Village
Public Works Department; and
E. The ditches and culverts will provide storage and infiltration of
surface runoff, reducing runoff volume and improving water quality.
The subdivider shall install streetlamps along
all streets proposed to be dedicated of a design compatible with the
neighborhood and type of development proposed as determined by the
Village Engineer. Such lamps shall be placed at each street intersection
and at such interior block spacing as may be required by the Village
Board, upon the recommendation of the Village Engineer.
The subdivider shall install at the intersections
of all streets proposed to be dedicated a street name sign of a design
and installation specified by the Village Engineer.
When the land included in a subdivision plat
or certified survey map abuts upon or is adjacent to land used for
farming or grazing purposes, the subdivider shall erect (at the request
of the adjacent property owner), keep, and maintain (his portion under
state law) partition fences, satisfying the requirements of the Wisconsin
Statutes for a legal and sufficient fence, between such land and the
adjacent land. A covenant binding the developer, its grantees, heirs,
successors, and assigns to erect and maintain such fences, without
cost to the adjoining property owners, so long as the land is used
for farming or grazing purposes, shall be included upon the face of
the final plat or certified survey map.
When required by the Village Board, the subdivider
shall install required bicycle paths and trails in accordance with
the plans and specifications approved by the Village. The subdivider
shall assume the entire cost of such bicycle paths and trails, except
in the case of dual bicycle paths and streets. The added cost for
streets wider than those required in order to accommodate bicycle
paths and trails shall be the responsibility of the municipality charged
with the maintenance of the proposed facility. In the event the subdivider
wishes to install dual-lane facilities, which may not be required
by the Village, the total cost of such improvements shall be borne
by the subdivider.
Any and all improvements or utility services
required by this chapter for the subdivision and/or minor land division
of lands within the Village or within the Village's extraterritorial
plat approval jurisdiction shall be extended to the farthest limit
of the parcel or lot upon which a building permit is requested unless
the owner is excused by the Village Board, the Plan Commission or
Village utilities officials. In the event the improvements are required
to the end of the parcel, as defined herein, the owner shall be required
to post bond with the Village if improvements are not made.
