The right-of-way of all streets shall be as set forth in the
Town road specifications resolution.
A. Where a subdivision or minor land division abuts or contains an existing
or proposed major highway or classified as an arterial or collector
highway and which may be shown on the Waukesha County Established
Street and Highway Width Map, the Town may require a frontage road
or a nonaccess reservation along the property contiguous to such highway,
or other treatment as may be necessary for adequate protection of
residential properties and to separate minor and arterial traffic
and prohibit direct private vehicular access to such arterial or collector
highway.
B. Where the proposed subdivision or minor land division abuts any other
Town road, mill tax road or other street which the Town deems necessary
to preserve as a public or future public right-of-way, additional
land shall be dedicated to bring the width of the right-of-way up
to Town road standards.
The width, length, and shapes of blocks shall be suited to the
planned use of the land; zoning requirements; the need for convenient
access, control and safety of street traffic; and the limitations
and opportunities of topography.
A. The lengths, widths and shapes of blocks shall be determined by provisions
for building sites suitable to meet the needs of the type of use contemplated;
zoning ordinance requirements pertaining to lot size and dimensions;
needs for convenient access; circulation, control and safety of street
traffic; limitation and opportunities of topography. Block lengths
shall normally not exceed 2,000 feet or be less than 600 feet in length.
B. Pedestrianways of not less than 10 feet in width may be required
near the center and entirely across any block over 900 feet in length
where deemed essential by the Town Plan Commission to provide adequate
pedestrian circulation or access to schools, parks, shopping centers,
churches or transportation facilities.
C. 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. The 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 restrictions for such use.
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 and shall conform in all respects to the lot
size and width requirements set forth in the Town Zoning Code. The
lots should be designed to provide an aesthetically pleasing building
site and a proper architectural setting for the buildings contemplated.
A. Side lot lines shall be at right angles to straight street lines
or radial to curved street lines on which the lots face. Lot lines
shall follow municipal boundary lines rather than cross them.
B. Double-frontage and reverse-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. Lots shall normally have a minimum average depth of 150 feet. Excessive
depth in relation to width shall be avoided if possible, and a proportion
of 2:1 is considered to be a desirable ratio under normal conditions.
The depth 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 restrictions
for such use.
D. Corner lots shall be 20% wider than the minimum width as required
for lots less than 150 feet in width. Where the required minimum average
width of lots is 150 feet or greater, corner lots shall not be required
to be increased in width.
E. Lands lying between the meander line and the water's edge and any
otherwise unplattable lands which lie between a proposed subdivision
and the water's edge shall be included as part of lots, outlots or
public dedications in any plat abutting a lake or stream. All lands
under option to the subdivider or to which he holds any interest that
abut the proposed subdivision and a lake or stream shall also be included.
F. All lots must abut a public street for at least 60 feet, except that
dimension may be reduced on culs-de-sac or sharp curves where the
lot lines radiate from the street. However, under special conditions
a private road may be utilized in accordance with the applicable provisions
of the Zoning Code.
G. Lots abutting navigable water shall be designed for use by one family
only.
In the design of the plat, due consideration shall be given to the reservation of suitable sites of adequate area for future school, parks, playgrounds, drainageways and other public purposes. If designated on the Comprehensive Plan, Comprehensive Plan component, Official Map or component neighborhood development plan, such areas shall be made a part of the plat as stipulated in §
265-10 of these regulations. If not so designated, consideration shall be given in the location of such sites to the preservation of scenic and historic sites, stands of fine trees, marshes, lakes and ponds, streams, shorelands and ravines and other natural features.
