In any new subdivision plat or certified survey map, the street
layout shall conform to the arrangement, width and location indicated
on the Official Map or general plan of the Village. In areas for which
such plans have not been completed, the street layout shall recognize
the functional classification of the various types of streets and
shall be developed and located in proper relation to existing and
proposed streets, to the topography, to such natural features as streams
and tree growth, to public convenience and safety, to the proposed
use of the land to be served by such streets and to the most advantageous
development of adjoining areas. The subdivision shall be designed
so as to provide each lot with satisfactory access to a public street.
In addition:
A. Arterial streets. Arterial streets shall be arranged so as to provide
ready access to centers of employment, centers of governmental activity,
community shopping areas, community recreation and points beyond the
boundaries of the community. They shall also be properly integrated
with and related to the existing and proposed system of arterial streets
and highways and shall be, insofar as practicable, continuous and
in alignment with existing or planned streets with which they are
to connect.
B. Collector streets. Collector streets shall be arranged so as to provide
ready collection of traffic from residential areas and conveyance
of this traffic to the major street and highway system and shall be
properly related to the mass transportation system, to special traffic
generators such as schools, churches and shopping centers and other
concentrations of population and to the major streets to which they
connect.
C. Local streets. Local streets shall be arranged to conform to the
topography, to discourage use by through traffic, to permit the design
of efficient storm and sanitary sewerage systems and to require the
minimum street area necessary to provide safe and convenient access
to abutting property.
D. Proposed streets. Proposed streets shall extend to the boundary lines
of the tract being subdivided unless prevented by topography or other
physical conditions or unless, in the opinion of the Village Board,
such extension is not necessary or desirable for the coordination
of the layout of the subdivision or for the advantageous development
of the adjacent tracts.
E. Arterial street and highway protection. Whenever the proposed subdivision
contains or is adjacent to an arterial street or highway, adequate
protection of residential properties, limitation of access and separation
of through and local traffic shall be provided by reversed frontage
with screen planting or an earth berm contained in a nonaccess reservation
along the rear or side property line or by the use of frontage streets.
F. Stream or lake shores. Stream or lake shores shall have a minimum
of 60 feet of public access platted to the low water mark at intervals
of not more than 1/2 mile as required by § 236.16(3), Wis.
Stats.
G. Reserve strips. Reserve strips shall not be provided on any plat
to control access to streets or alleys, except where control of such
strips is placed with the Village Board under conditions recommended
by the Plan Commission.
H. Alleys. Alleys shall be provided in commercial and industrial areas
for off-street loading and service access if required by the Village
Board, but shall not be approved in residential districts. Dead-end
alleys shall not be approved. Alleys shall not connect to a major
thoroughfare.
I. Street names. Street names shall not duplicate or be similar to existing
street names elsewhere in the Village and environs, and existing street
names shall be projected wherever possible.
Streets shall intersect each other at as nearly right angles
as topography and other limiting factors of good design permit. In
addition:
A. The number of streets converging at one intersection shall be reduced
to a minimum, preferably not more than two.
B. The number of intersections along arterial streets and highways shall
be held to a minimum. Wherever practicable, the distance between such
intersections shall not be less than 1,000 feet.
C. Intersections on local streets shall be offset at least 125 feet
measured from the center lines of the two streets.
D. Property lines at street intersections shall be rounded with a minimum
radius of 20 feet or of a greater radius when required by the Plan
Commission or shall be terminated by a straight line through the points
of tangency of an arc having a radius of 15 feet.
E. Local streets shall not necessarily continue across arterial or collector
streets, but if the center lines of such local streets approach the
major streets from opposite sides within 300 feet of each other, measured
along the center line of the arterial or collector street, then the
location shall be so adjusted that the adjoinment across the arterial
or collector street is continuous, and a jog is avoided.
The widths, lengths and shapes of blocks shall be suited to
the planned use of the land, zoning requirements, need for convenient
access, control and safety of street traffic and the limitations and
opportunities of topography. In addition:
A. The length of blocks in residential areas shall not, as a general
rule, be less than 400 feet nor more than 1,200 feet in length, unless
otherwise dictated by exceptional topography or other limiting factors
of good design.
B. The width of blocks shall be wide enough to provide for two tiers
of lots of appropriate depth, except where otherwise required to separate
residential development from through traffic. 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.
C. Utility easements. See §
340-50 below.
All lots in a subdivision or minor subdivision shall conform with the lot minimum standards for the zoning district required under Chapter
375, Zoning, of the Code of the Village of Hollandale. 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. The lots should be designed to provide an aesthetically pleasing building site and a proper architectural setting for the building contemplated. In addition:
A. Side lot lines shall be at approximately 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. Every lot shall front or abut for a distance of at least 80 feet
on a public street but, under extenuating circumstances, may be reduced
if the lot is 80 feet wide at the front setback.
D. Depth of lots shall be a minimum of 100 feet. Excessive depth in
relation to width shall be avoided, and a proportion of 2:1 shall
be considered a desirable ratio under normal conditions. 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.
E. Width of lots shall conform to the requirements of Chapter
375, Zoning.
F. Corner lots shall have an extra width of 10 feet to permit adequate
building setbacks from side streets.
