The subdivider shall dedicate land for and improve
streets as provided herein:
A. All land divisions shall be designed so as to provide
each lot with satisfactory access to a public street as provided herein.
B. The following conditions shall apply for street arrangement
in all proposed land divisions:
(1) Streets shall conform to any applicable official map
ordinance in effect. 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.
(2) 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.
(3) Collector streets. Collector streets shall be arranged
so as to provide ready collection of traffic from residential areas
and conveyance of this traffic or 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.
(4) 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.
(5) 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. In addition, intersections
shall meet Winnebago County's Access Control Ordinance (as administered
and enforced by Winnebago County). The Department of Transportation
determines road access to state highways. 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.
(6) 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 right-of-way diameter and a roadway in
compliance with the applicable Town of Winneconne ordinances.
(7) 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.
(8) 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.
(9) 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. This subsection shall not apply to
condominium developments.
(10)
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. All street names
must be approved by Winnebago County Planning and Zoning Department.
(11)
Private streets. There can only be one residence
per private street.
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, streets approximately
parallel to and at a suitable distance from such highway or railroad
for the appropriate use of the land between such streets and highway
or railroad, 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
the railroad right-of-way should be avoided.
E. Setback from a state highway shall either be the Town
of Winneconne setback requirements or the county zoning district setback
requirements or the setback requirements of Ch. TRANS 233, Wis. Adm.
Code, whichever is greater.
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 mid-block 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, utility
lines may be required to be buried.
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.
A. Side lot lines should be at 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.
B. 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.
C. Lot frontage. All newly created lots or parcels shall comply with Chapter
310, Zoning, of the Town Code.
D. Area and dimensions of lots shall conform to the requirements of Chapter
310, Zoning, of the Town Code and, in areas not served by public sewer, shall, in addition, conform to the requirements of the Ch. COMM 85, Wis. Adm. Code.
E. Width of lots shall conform to the requirements of Chapter
310, Zoning, of the Town Code.
Building setback lines shall conform to the requirements established in Chapter
310, Zoning, of the Town Code. The required Town setback lines shall be shown on the face of the plat.
