For the purpose of determining the distance buildings and other
structures, excluding signs, are set back, the roads and highways
of the Town are hereby divided into the following classifications
according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation 1980 Functional
Classification System or the locally adopted Transportation Plan.
A. Arterial highways.
(1) The setback line for arterial highways shall be 115 feet from the
center line of the highway or 75 feet from the right-of-way line,
whichever is greater.
(2) Frontage roads to arterial highways shall be considered as local
roads for the purpose of determining the setback along said service
roads.
(3) Minimum road right-of-way shall be 100 feet.
B. Collector roads. The setback of collector roads shall be 115 feet
from the center line or 75 feet from the right-of-way line, whichever
is greater. Minimum roadway width shall be 80 feet.
C. Local roads. All local roads shall have a minimum setback of 85 feet
from the center line or 50 feet from the right-of-way line, whichever
is greater. Minimum road right-of-way shall be 70 feet.
D. Lesser setback. Lesser setbacks may be permitted by the Town Board
in cases of unusual topography, or existing patterns of lesser setbacks
of buildings on nearby properties or varying alignment of highway
right-of-way lines.
E. Special width road rights-of-way. Road rights-of-way which are indicated
as a special width road in adopted transportation plans shall be used
to establish minimum setback requirements and the division of land.
Objects permitted within setback lines and vision triangles
include:
B. Telephone, telegraph and power transmission poles, lines and portable
equipment that is readily removable in its entirety.
C. The planting and harvesting of field crops, shrubbery and trees,
except that no trees or shrubbery shall be planted within a vision
clearance triangle so as to obstruct the view.
The Town Board may require that common access roads be provided
for access from the subdivision to the existing public road network.
Access points shall not be within 470 feet of each other (measured
from center to center of each access point).
Anyone responsible for disturbing, disrupting, or tunneling
under a road must maintain that road until all settling and/or compaction
has taken place and the road has returned to its original condition
or to the approval of the Town Board.
All driveway permits must be approved by the Highway Department
and Town Board.
