All subdivisions shall conform to the Comprehensive Plan of
the City of New Lisbon and to either the street plan or the Official
Map of the City of New Lisbon.
All subdivisions shall conform to the requirements of the zoning district wherein they will be located. See Chapter 520, Zoning, of this Code.
All streets within the subdivision shall be in conformance to
the following requirements:
A.
The arrangement, character, extent, width, grade and location of all streets shall conform to all official maps and plans as set forth in § 515-23 and shall be related to existing and planned streets; topographic conditions; existing natural features, including streams, lakes and tree growth; public convenience and safety; existing and proposed uses of land served by such streets; and to the most advantageous development of adjoining uses.
B.
The arrangement of streets in a subdivision shall provide, where
possible, for the continuation or appropriate projection of existing
or proposed collector and arterial streets in the area.
C.
Local streets shall be laid out so as to discourage their use by
through traffic.
D.
Where a subdivision abuts or contains an existing or proposed arterial
street, the City may require marginal access streets, reverse frontage
lots with screen planting contained in a nonaccess reservation along
the rear of the property line, or such other treatment as may be necessary
for adequate protection of residential properties and to afford separation
of through and local traffic.
E.
The number of intersections along arterial streets shall be held
to a minimum.
F.
Where a subdivision borders on or contains a railroad right-of-way
or limited access highway right-of-way, the Plan Commission may require
a street approximately parallel to and on each side of such right-of-way
at a distance suitable for the appropriate use of the intervening
land. Such distances shall also be determined with regard for the
requirements of approach grades and future grade separation.
G.
Street jogs with center-line offsets of less than 150 feet shall
be avoided.
H.
A tangent at least 100 feet long shall be introduced between reverse
curves on arterial and collector streets.
I.
Streets shall be laid out so as to intersect as nearly as possible
at right angles, and no street shall intersect any other street at
less than 75°, and not more than two streets shall intersect at
one point.
J.
Reserve strips controlling access to streets shall be prohibited
except where their control is definitely placed in the Plan Commission
under conditions approved by said Commission.

Alleys shall be required at the option of the Plan Commission.
The developer shall provide sufficient right-of-way to allow
for sidewalks. The developer shall provide sufficient right-of-way
to allow for pedestrianways where required by the Plan Commission.
The subdivider shall provide necessary easements to allow for
the construction of sanitary sewer, waterlines, storm sewers, power
lines, gas lines, telephone lines and cable television lines and whatsoever
other utilities are necessary in locations along the back lines of
his property. The utility easement shall be along the rear lot lines
or wherever else is necessary for the proper installation of the respective
utilities. The easements shall include allowances for not only the
construction but also the maintenance of the utility.
Wherever necessary to maintain the natural drainage of the area,
the subdivider shall provide an adequate drainageway easement as required
by the Plan Commission. The easement shall be of sufficient discharge
from the property being subdivided and also the anticipated runoff
which will occur when property at a higher elevation than the drainage
basin is developed.
The subdivider will be required to reserve such lands as the
Plan Commission and Common Council deem necessary for parks, playgrounds,
schools and other public uses. In the event that the City requires
the subdivider to reserve such land, the City will pay a fair market
price for the value of such lands. In the event that a fair market
price cannot be agreed upon by the City and subdivider, a panel of
three appraisers shall be selected and the average price based on
their appraisals shall determine the fair market price. One appraiser
shall be appointed by the City and one by the subdivider and these
two appraisers shall select the third. The cost of the appraisals
shall be borne equally by the City and the subdivider.
A.
The length, width and shapes of blocks shall be suited to the planned
use of the land, zoning requirements of the district it will be in,
need for convenient access, control of street traffic, and the limitation
and opportunities of the topography.
B.
Blocks shall have sufficient widths to provide two tiers of lots
of the appropriate depth, except where otherwise required to separate
residential development from through traffic, or where the size and
shape of the parcel to be subdivided limit such development. Pedestrianways
or crosswalks not less than 10 feet in width shall be provided near
the center and entirely across any block that is 800 feet or more
in length where such pedestrianways or crosswalks are deemed essential
to provide adequate pedestrian circulation and access to schools,
shopping centers, churches or transportation facilities. Block lengths
shall be not less than 300 feet nor more than 1,500 feet.
The size, shape and orientation of the lots shall be appropriate
for the location and type of subdivision and for the type of development
and use contemplated and shall be in conformance with the requirements
of the appropriate zoning district. The lots shall be designed to
provide an esthetically pleasing building site and a proper architectural
setting for the building contemplated. All lots shall front or abut
on a publicly dedicated street. Side lot lines shall be substantially
at right angles to the street lines.
Lots shall be of sufficient size so that they can be developed
in conformance with the requirements of the applicable zoning district.
A building shall not be located on any lot nearer the front
lot line or nearer the side street than the minimum setback line on
any side and shall be in accordance and conformance with the zoning
regulations. For this purpose eaves and steps shall not be considered
a part of the building; provided, however, that this shall not be
construed to permit any portion of the building on a lot to encroach
upon another lot.
All buildings within the subdivision shall be constructed so
that the first floor elevation shall be a minimum of one foot above
the center line of the established street grade along the lot frontage.
The purpose of this section is to provide for adequate drainage from
the structure to the street and so as not to have excessive difference
in elevation between the structures on adjacent parcels of land. This
section shall not be construed so as to limit the architectural freedom
and the design of the house but rather shall be a guideline in providing
for drainage around the structure.
