A. 
Payment for improvements. The improvements prescribed in this chapter are required as a condition of approval of a land division. The required improvements described in this chapter shall be installed, furnished and financed at the sole expense of the subdivider, except where certain improvements are installed by the Village through the special assessment process. However, in the case of required improvements in a commercial, institutional or industrial area, the cost of all such improvements may, at the sole discretion of the Village Board, be financed through special assessments.
B. 
General standards. The following required improvements in this chapter shall be installed in accordance with the engineering standards and specifications which have been adopted by the Village Board. Where standards and specifications have not been adopted, the improvements shall be made in accordance with standard engineering practices, approved prior to the start of construction by the Village Engineer.
A. 
Contract. Prior to installation of any required improvements and prior to approval of the final plat, the subdivider shall enter into a written contract with the Village requiring the subdivider to furnish and construct required improvements at his sole cost and in accordance with plans and specifications and usual contract conditions, which shall include provision for inspection of construction details by the Village Engineer.
B. 
Financial guarantees.
(1) 
A contract shall be entered into between the subdivider and Village to guarantee the installation of all required improvements under this chapter.
(2) 
The subdivider shall pay the Village for all costs incurred by the Village for review and preparation, at the Village Board's discretion, of plans and specifications by the Village Engineer and Village Attorney, as well as other costs of a similar nature.
A. 
Action by the Village Engineer. The Village Engineer shall review or cause to be reviewed the plans and specifications for conformance with the requirements of this chapter and other pertinent Village ordinances and design standards recommended by the Village Engineer and approved by the Village Board. If the Village Engineer rejects the plans and specifications, he shall notify the owner, who shall modify the plans or specifications, or both, accordingly. When the plans and specifications are corrected, the Village Engineer shall approve the plans and specifications for transmittal to the Village Board. The Village Board shall approve the plans and specifications before construction is commenced.
B. 
Other requirements.
(1) 
Approval by Engineer. Contracts and contract specifications for the construction of required improvements in dedicated street rights-of-way, as well as the contractors and subcontractors providing such work, shall be subject to the approval of the Village Engineer.
(2) 
Plats outside the corporate limits. Before final approval by the Village of any plat located outside the corporate limits of the Village, but within the plat approval jurisdiction of the Village, the subdivider shall give evidence that he has complied with all street and utility requirements of the town in which the land being platted is located.
C. 
Construction and inspection.
(1) 
Prior to starting any of the work covered by the plans approved above, written authorization to start the work shall be obtained from the Village Engineer upon receipt of all necessary permits.
(2) 
Construction of all improvements required by this chapter shall be completed within two years from the date of approval of the preliminary plat by the Village Board, unless good cause can be shown for the Village Board to grant an extension.
(3) 
During the course of construction, the Village Engineer shall make, or cause to be made, such inspections as the Village Board deems necessary to ensure compliance with the plans and specifications as approved. The owner shall pay the actual cost incurred by the Village for such inspections. This fee shall be the actual cost to the Village of inspectors, engineers and other parties necessary to insure satisfactory work.
D. 
Construction of improvements; special assessments. Before the subdivision may be accepted by the Village, all utilities shall be installed, including laterals to the property line and stormwater drainage facilities. Streets shall be laid out and graded with gravel fill to the grade and gravel specifications of the engineers of the Village. The Village will install curb, gutter, paved hard surface street and sidewalks, at its discretion, and shall assess, through the special assessment process, the property owner 100% for such improvements when completed. Contracts may be entered into between the Village and the subdivider for those utilities required to be installed by the subdivider and all work may be installed under contracts through the Village and paid for by the subdivider upon completion.
E. 
Record plans. After completion of all public improvements and prior to final acceptance of said improvements, the subdivider shall make or cause to be made three copies of record plans showing the actual location of all valves, manholes, stubs, sewers and water mains and such other facilities as the Village Engineer shall require. These plans shall be prepared on the original Mylars of the construction plans and shall bear the signature and seal of a professional engineer registered in Wisconsin. The presentation of the record plans shall be a condition of final acceptance of the improvements and release of the surety bond assuring their completion.
A. 
Pursuant to § 514-30, the subdivider shall provide stormwater drainage facilities adequate to serve the subdivision or minor land division, which may include curb and gutter, catch basins and inlets, storm sewers, road ditches, open channels and water retention structures and settling basins, as may be required. Storm sewers are to be of adequate size and grade to hydraulically accommodate the three-year storm; culverts shall be designed to accommodate the ten-year storm and shall be sized so that the twenty-five-year frequency storms do not cause flooding of the adjacent roadway. Upon the approval of the Village Engineer, stormwater swales and ditches may be sized for from twenty-five-year to one-hundred-year frequency storms, depending upon the estimated amount of damage that would be incurred by adjacent properties if flooding did occur. Storm drainage facilities shall be so designed as to minimize hazards to life or property, and the size, type and installation of all stormwater drains and sewers proposed to be constructed shall be in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by the Village Board, upon the recommendation of the Village Engineer. Storm sewers oversized to handle runoff from off-site properties will be installed by the subdivider; however, the cost of oversizing such larger sewers shall be prorated in proportion to the ratio which the total area of the proposed subdivision or minor land division is to the total drainage area to be served by such larger sewer, and the excess cost either borne by the Village or assessed against the total tributary drainage area.
B. 
Unpaved road ditches and street gutters may be permitted only within the Village's extraterritorial plat approval jurisdictional area and shall be shaped and seeded and/or sodded as grassed waterways. Where the velocity of flow is in excess of four feet per second on soils having a severe or very severe erosion hazard and in excess of six feet per second on soils having moderate, slight or very slight erosion hazard, the subdivider shall install a paved invert or check dams, flumes or other energy-dissipating devices.
C. 
Drainage facilities shall, if required, include water retention structures and settling basins so as to prevent erosion and sedimentation where such facilities discharge into streams or lakes. The design criteria, the size, type, grades and installation of all stormwater drains and sewers and other cross-section, invert and erosion control paving check dams, flumes or other energy-dissipating structures and seeding and/or sodding of open channels and unpaved road ditches proposed to be constructed shall be in accordance with the plans and standard specifications approved by the Village Engineer.
A. 
The subdivider shall cause gas, electric power and telephone facilities to be installed in such a manner as to make adequate service available to each lot in the subdivision, certified survey or land division. All new electrical distribution and television cables and telephone lines from which lots are individually served shall be underground unless the Village Board specifically allows overhead poles for the following reasons:
(1) 
Topography, soil, water table, solid rock, boulders or other physical conditions would make underground installation unreasonable or impractical; or
(2) 
The lots to be served by said facilities can be served directly from existing overhead facilities.
B. 
Plans indicating the proposed location of all gas, electrical power and telephone distribution and transmission lines required to service the plat shall be approved by the Village Board, and such map shall be filed with the Village Administrator.
A. 
The subdivider when presenting a final plat for approval of the Village Plan Commission and the Village Board shall present a plan showing where all public streetlighting will be installed. All streetlighting installation shall be approved by the Plan Commission and the Village Board as to location within the subdivision and will generally be required to be located at or near intersections and at or near fire hydrants. The cost of obtaining and installing the public streetlighting shall be the expense of the subdivider.
B. 
The Village Board will not approve the final plat or any certified survey map until such time as such streetlighting is approved and an agreement or contract is approved by the Village.
A. 
Pursuant to Chapter 425, Article II, Construction Site Erosion Control, of this Code, the subdivider shall cause all gradings, excavations, open cuts, side slopes, and other land surface disturbances to be mulched, seeded, sodded or otherwise protected so that erosion, siltation, sedimentation and washing are prevented. The subdivider shall submit an erosion control plan with the final utility plans and specifications that specifies measures that will be taken to assure the minimization of erosion problems.
B. 
The Village Board may require the subdivider to provide or install certain protection and rehabilitation measures, such as fencing, sloping, seeding, riprap, revetments, jetties, clearing, dredging, snagging, drop structures, brush mats, willow poles and grade-stabilization structures.
C. 
Tree cutting and shrubbery clearing shall not exceed 40% of the lot or tract and shall be so conducted as to prevent erosion and sedimentation, preserve and improve scenic qualities and, during foliation, substantially screen any development from stream or lake users. It shall be the responsibility of the subdivider to remove such debris from the lot.
D. 
Paths and trails in wooded and wetland areas shall not exceed 10 feet in width unless otherwise approved by the Plan Commission and shall be so designed and constructed as to result in the least removal and disruption of trees and shrubs and the minimum impairment of natural beauty.
E. 
Earthmoving, such as grading, topsoil removal, mineral extraction, stream course changing, road cutting, waterway construction or enlargement, removal of stream or lake bed materials, excavation, channel clearing, ditching, drain tile laying, dredging and lagooning, shall be so conducted as to prevent erosion and sedimentation and to least disturb the natural fauna, flora, watercourse, water regimen and topography.
F. 
Review of the conduct of such cutting, clearing and moving may be requested of the County Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisors, the State District Fish and Game Managers and the State District Forester by the Village Engineer or Plan Commission, as it deems appropriate.
A. 
Utility easements. The Village Board, on the recommendation of appropriate departments and agencies serving the Village, shall require utility easements for poles, wires, conduits, storm and sanitary sewers, gas, water and head mains or other utility lines. It is the intent of this chapter to protect all established easements so as to assure proper grade, assure maintenance of the established grade, prohibit construction of permanent fences or retaining walls over underground installation and prevent the planting of trees in the easement area.
B. 
Drainage easements.
(1) 
Where a subdivision is traversed by a watercourse, drainage way, channel or stream:
(a) 
There shall be provided a stormwater easement or drainage right-of-way conforming substantially to the lines of such watercourse and such further width or construction, or both, as will be adequate for the purpose and as may be necessary to comply with this section; or
(b) 
The watercourse, drainageway, channel or stream may be relocated in such a manner that the maintenance of adequate drainage will be assured and the same provided with a stormwater easement or drainage right-of-way conforming to the lines of the relocated watercourse and such further width or construction, or both, as will be adequate for the purpose and may be necessary to comply with this section.
(2) 
Wherever possible, it is desirable that drainage be maintained by an open channel with landscaped banks and adequate width for maximum potential volume flow. In all cases, such watercourse shall be of a minimum width established at the high-water mark or, in the absence of such specification, not less than 30 feet. If, in the opinion of the Village Engineer, the easement will be for a major drainage swale, the easement shall be of sufficient width to contain a one-hundred-year frequency storm. If the drainage easement is located in an established floodway or flood-fringe district, the entire floodplain area shall be included within the drainage easement.
C. 
Easement locations. Such easements shall be at least 15 feet wide or wider where recommended by the Village Engineer and may run across lots or alongside of rear lot lines. Such easements should preferably be located along rear lot lines. Evidence shall be furnished the Plan Commission and Village Board that easements and any easement provisions to be incorporated in the plat or in deeds have been reviewed by the individual utility companies or the organization responsible for furnishing the services involved.
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.
