All streets of the Village shall be known and
designated by the names on the map of the Village kept on file in
the office of the Village Clerk, and the street names designated on
such map shall continue to be the names of streets unless and until
changed by ordinance of the Village Board.
Buildings located along the streets of the Village shall be numbered in accordance with a chart kept by the Village Clerk showing the proper street number of each lot. The owner of any building shall place such number on his building so as to be visible from the street. If such address is not posted as required, the Fire Chief shall have the authority to cause the address to be posted as deemed necessary and at the expense of the owner of the building. Any person failing to comply with this section within 10 days of notice to do so shall be subject to a penalty as provided §
390-21 of this chapter.
No person shall damage or deface any street,
alley, sidewalk, public way, park or other public or quasi-public
property or any post, wire, lamp, street sign, traffic sign, tree,
grass, vegetation, water main, culvert, sewer, inlet, manhole or any
other appurtenance thereon, except as may be authorized by the Village
Board.
No person shall move any building or structure
on any street without a permit from the Building Inspector. The Building
Inspector may issue the permit under such conditions as he/she may
reasonably prescribe to protect the streets and Village and private
property and to minimize public inconvenience. He/she may require
the permittee to execute a bond or insurance contract on behalf of
the Village in such amount as he/she deems appropriate conditioned
that the permittee will comply with the conditions of the permit and
indemnify the Village against any damage caused to Village or private
property or any person by removal of the building or structure.
Any person installing public or private utility
facilities or making an excavation in or doing any work in any street,
sidewalk or other public place shall maintain suitable barricades
to prevent injury to any person or vehicle by reason of the work.
Barricades shall be protected by suitable lights at night. Any defect
in any pavement shall be barricaded to prevent injury. Any person
maintaining any opening or excavation in any such place shall guard
such opening or excavation while the same remains open by proper barricades
and lights. No person shall interfere with or disturb any barricades
or lights lawfully placed or make new pavement excavations or openings
in any street, alley or sidewalk.
No person shall paint or post any signs or bills
on any trees, poles or other structures in any street or on the surface
of any street or sidewalk.
The person occupying the ground floor of any building, the user
of any lot without a structure thereon and the owner of any vacant
building or other premises shall remove the snow and ice accumulating
on the abutting sidewalks and public pathways within 24 hours after
any snowfall has ceased. If snow or ice cannot be removed, the surface
shall be sanded or otherwise treated to lessen the hazard for pedestrians
until the climate permits removal. In the event that the responsible
property owner does not remove snow and ice from pedestrian facilities,
if requested by the Village, the Village reserves the right to remove
snow and ice from walks or pathways using Village or contractor forces
and charge the responsible property owner for the cost for the removal
plus 15% administrative costs. If the property owner does not pay
for these costs, the Village may assign the costs as a special charge
on the assessment rolls.
The Village standard roadway cross section is a rural cross
section, consisting of an asphalt roadway surface, aggregate shoulders
and drainage ditches and culverts; however, the Village will allow
installation of urban cross sections consisting of an asphalt roadway
surface, curb and gutter, and storm sewer to convey stormwater runoff.
Roads will be designed to drain away from the center line, unless
slopes justify a superelevated cross section.
A. Width. Village highways shall have a minimum right-of-way
width of 66 feet between property lines.
B. Culs-de-sac and dead-end roads. The center line of
roadway shall be located at the center of the road right-of-way dedicated
for roadway purposes. The road grades shall conform to the approved
plans prepared by the owner's or developer's engineer and submitted
to the Village Engineer, Plan Commission, and Village Board for approval.
Culs-de-sac with no interior island shall have a diameter of 120 feet
of right-of-way and include a diameter of 90 feet paved surface. Culs-de-sac
with interior islands will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. They
should provide for a two-way paved width of 24 feet, including gutters,
if curb and gutter are to be provided. Dead-end roads will be evaluated
on a case-by-case basis. As a minimum, they must provide turnaround
facilities to accommodate fire and emergency vehicles.
C. Subgrade material. Topsoil, mucky soil, peat and other
unstable material shall be removed below the subgrade of roads to
the depth specified by the Village Engineer and replaced with suitable,
sound fill materials.
D. Rock base. Rock shall be excavated to a point at least
20 inches below the finished grade of roads, 16 inches below the finished
grade of sidewalks and terraces, and eight inches below ditch grades.
Undrained pockets in the rock surface shall be drained prior to the
placement of base material.
E. Grading subgrade. The road subgrade shall be graded
within a tolerance of 0.1 foot, plus or minus. When excavation and
grading of the subgrade are completed, the developer's engineer shall
inspect the same and submit written certification to the Village Engineer
(copy to the Village Clerk) that the subgrade is in compliance with
the approved plans. The Village Engineer will inspect the subgrade.
The Village Engineer may require that blue top stakes be set to aid
in his inspection. The Village Engineer or his designee will observe
a proof roll of the subgrade, using a quad-axle truck, as arranged
by the developer's contractor. The developer and contractor will be
required to undercut 12 inches, plus or minus, and install suitable
granular material for portions of the subgrade deemed unsuitable during
the proof roll inspection.
F. Stormwater culverts, ditches and storm sewer.
(1) Rural section with culverts, ditches and minimal storm
sewer.
(a) The developer's engineer will submit plans that show the grades and
locations of the stormwater ditches and also the length, size, materials
and other characteristics of the storm sewer and driveway culverts
for developments. Storm sewer cross culverts shall be a minimum fifteen-inch
reinforced concrete pipe (RCP). Driveway culverts shall be a minimum
fifteen-inch arched galvanized corrugated metal pipe (CMPA). Standard
end sections shall be provided for storm sewer and driveway culverts
and shall consist of similar materials to the structure they connect
to. The developer's engineer shall submit drainage calculations with
development drawings to the Village Engineer for review and recommendation
of approval to the Plan Commission and Village Board.
(b) The storm sewer or driveway culvert ends and any headwalls, as necessary,
shall be shaped at the same angle as the ditch side slope. Safety
grates shall be installed in the ends of pipes larger than 18 inches
in diameter. Headwalls or other obstacles shall not extend above the
surrounding ground by more than four inches.
(2) Urban section with curb and gutter and storm sewer
system. The developer's engineer will submit plans that show the grades
and locations of the curb and gutter and also the length, size, materials
and other characteristics of the storm sewer for developments. Storm
sewer will be shown in plan and elevation views. Storm sewer sizes
will be based upon drainage calculations submitted by the developer's
engineer with development drawings to the Village Engineer for review
and recommendation of approval to the Plan Commission and Village
Board. Standard end sections shall be provided for storm sewer at
outfalls and shall consist of similar materials to the structure they
connect to. Storm sewer manholes will be a minimum of 48 inches in
diameter. Storm catch basins will be sized per calculations and will
contain two-foot-deep sumps for sediment control. Manhole and catch
basin structures shall be Neenah products, R-1661 for the manholes
and appropriate open grate castings for catch basins.
G. Roadway surface width; shouldering; curb and gutter.
All roads shall be surfaced to a minimum paved width of 26 feet, centered
on the center line of the roadway to be dedicated. This width includes
the pan section of curb and gutter, if applicable. The standard edge
protection is a two-foot-wide shoulder of three-fourth-inch traffic
bond (TB) material, sloped away from the roadway surface at a slope
of 2% to 4%. Urban section road edges shall be protected by thirty-inch-wide
mountable curb and gutter on each side of the roadway. The Village
will accept the installation of vertical face curb if its use is justifiable.
The Village may also require radius curb to be installed at selected
intersections to eliminate motorists cutting corners. The radius curb
is typically thirty-six-inch mountable curb.
H. Base course material. The base course shall consist
of a minimum of eight inches of compacted crushed aggregate, with
thicker sections required for collector roads or nonresidential applications.
The lower five inches shall be one-and-one-fourth-inch crushed aggregate
and the upper three inches shall be three-fourth-inch crushed aggregate
or traffic bond, as approved. Once the base course has been installed,
the developer's engineer will submit a written certification to the
Village Engineer (copy to Village Clerk) that the base course is in
compliance with approved plans, to a grade tolerance of 0.05 foot,
plus or minus. The Village Engineer will inspect the subgrade. The
Village Engineer may require that red top stakes be set to aid in
his inspection. The Village Engineer or his designee will observe
a proof roll of the subgrade, as arranged by the developer's contractor.
The developer and contractor will be required to undercut 12 inches,
plus or minus, and install suitable granular material for portions
of the subgrade deemed unsuitable during the proof roll inspection.
I. Asphalt roadway surface. The developer and contractor
shall install a minimum of 3.5 inches of hot mix asphalt (HMA) in
two lifts, with compaction per the latest version of the Wisconsin
Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Highway and
Structure Construction. Tack coat will be installed between lifts
of asphalt. The Village Engineer may require a thicker asphalt section
for collector or nonresidential applications. Traffic controls and
barricades must be installed and maintained per the Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The Village will require submittal
of asphalt mix designs prior to paving. The Village Engineer will
require the contractor to submit load tickets for asphalt yield computations
and to submit nuclear density test results for asphalt density verification.
J. Slopes and ditches; planting; grass cover. Side slopes
and ditches along roads or in easements shall be covered with topsoil,
prepared, seeded or sodded, fertilized and maintained for a sufficient
period to provide adequate grass cover prior to acceptance by the
Village Board. The Village may require erosion matting or turf reinforcement
matting to stabilize slopes, as necessary. The developer's engineer
shall provide the seed mixture.
K. Signs; posts and guardrails. Street signs, roadway
striping, culvert posts, and guardrails, as required by the Village
Board, shall be obtained and placed by the Village, the cost of which
shall be paid by the developer or owner.
L. Acceptance by Village. Roads will not be accepted
by the Village before May 1 or after November 1. Acceptance of the
roads does not relieve the developer of his responsibility relative
to adequate grass cover on the side slopes or in ditches.
M. Sidewalk construction. Sidewalk construction, where
required by the Village Board, shall conform to the Village specifications.
All costs of sidewalk construction shall be paid by the subdivider
or owner of the land. Sidewalk shall be installed at a four-inch thickness,
with a six-inch thickness installed through driveways and at intersections
where detectable warning fields (panels) are installed. Said detectable
warning fields shall be from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation
(WisDOT) Product Acceptability List, or approved equivalent. Maximum
slope from private side toward the road is 2%.
N. Village engineering costs. The cost of review, inspection
and other project activities by the Village Engineer shall be billed
to the Village, and the Village will, in turn, bill the developer
or owner for said costs.
O. Village fees. The developer or owner is responsible
for payment of up front costs to the Village, per the schedule of
fees maintained by the Village Clerk.
P. Warranty.
The developer and contractor are responsible for repair of deficiencies
noted during a final inspection made by the Village Engineer, Building
Inspector or other Village official, for a period of one year following
formal Village Board acceptance of the work.
