Entitled the "Village of Superior Driveway and Culvert Installation
on Right-of-Way," the purpose of this article is to provide for a
regulation relating to the installation of new or reconstructed driveways
and culverts.
No person shall hereafter lay, install or reconstruct any driveway
or install or reconstruct a culvert in connection therewith in the
Village right-of-way within the Village of Superior without first
obtaining a permit from the Village of Superior. Permits must be obtained
and any fees paid before the issuance of any building permit.
Every such permit application shall describe the public road
adjacent to the culvert or driveway or location of the culvert or
driveway, the nature of the work being undertaken by the applicant,
the applicant's name and address, the property owner's name
and address (if different from the applicant's) and the estimated
dates of commencement of work and completion of work. Permits shall
be issued by the Village Board and/or Public Works Director on its
designated form.
Culverts for a sidewalk or pedestrian entrance shall be a minimum
of 10 inches in diameter with a minimum length of four feet and a
maximum length of six feet. A minimum spacing between driveway culvert
and pedestrian (sidewalk) culvert of 10 feet must be maintained. Any
additional culvert lengths will require a variance by the Village
of Superior Zoning Board.
Any existing driveway which is to be reconstructed in any manner will also be required to comply with §
350-8B,
C and
D of this article.
If a property owner feels a hardship has been created due to
the unusual slope or terrain of the property in the Village Road right-of-way,
said property owner may appeal to the Village Board for a variance
on the conditions set forth above.
Any person who shall violate provisions of this article shall
remedy and correct such violation within 30 days of notification in
writing by the Village Board.
Any driveway or culvert installed upon, under, or over any highway
right-of-way without a permit, or any such driveway or culvert which
is installed contrary to the terms and conditions of the issued permit
or of this article, shall be deemed a highway encroachment. The culvert
shall be subject to removal, pursuant to § 86.04, Wis. Stats.,
as it presently exists or as it may hereafter be amended or renumbered.
Failure to obey an order for removal under § 86.04, Wis.
Stats., may result in a per-diem forfeiture and the recovery of the
Village's costs of removal.
Any person or entity violating any provision of this article
shall be penalized in accordance with § 60.61, Wis. Stats.
This fee, not to exceed $197 per day, will be enforced by the Village
Board.
The permit fee shall be set at the amount of $15.
