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.
A. 
The minimum right-of-way and roadway width of all proposed streets and alleys shall be as specified by the general plan, the general plan component or the Official Map of the Village, or if no width is specified therein, the minimum widths shall be as shown in Table 1 below. Cross sections for freeways, expressways and parkways shall be based upon detailed engineering studies.

B. 
Cul-de-sac streets designed to have one end permanently closed shall not exceed 600 feet in length. All cul-de-sac streets designed to have one end permanently closed shall terminate in a circular turnaround having a minimum right-of-way radius of 60 feet and a minimum outside curb radius of 50 feet.
C. 
Unless necessitated by exceptional topography, subject to the approval of the Plan Commission, the maximum center-line grade of any street or public way shall not exceed the following:
(1) 
Arterial streets: 6%.
(2) 
Collector streets: 7%.
(3) 
Local streets, alleys and frontage streets: 10%.
(4) 
Pedestrianways: 10%, unless steps of acceptable design are provided.
(5) 
The grade of any street shall in no case exceed 10% or be less than 1/2 of 1%.
D. 
Street grades shall be established wherever practicable so as to avoid excessive grading, the promiscuous removal of ground cover and tree growth and general leveling of topography. All changes in street grades shall be connected by vertical curves of a minimum length equivalent in feet to 15 times the algebraic difference in the rates of grade for all major streets and 1/2 this minimum for all other streets.
E. 
Curves.
(1) 
When a continuous street center line deflects at any one point by more than 10°, a circular curve shall be introduced having a radius of curvature on said center line of not less than the following:
(a) 
Arterial streets and highways: 500 feet.
(b) 
Collector streets: 300 feet.
(c) 
Local streets: 100 feet.
(2) 
A tangent at least 100 feet in length shall be provided between reverse curves on arterial and collector streets.
F. 
Where, on the date of enactment of this chapter, an existing dedicated or platted half street is adjacent to the tract being subdivided, the other half of the street shall be dedicated by the subdivider. The platting of half streets is not permitted.
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.
A. 
Electric and communications facilities. Adequate easements shall be provided and dedicated on each side of all rear lot lines, and on side lot lines, across lots or along front lot lines where necessary, for the installation of electric and communications facilities. Such easements shall be noted as "utility easements" on the final plat or certified survey map. Prior to approval of the final plat or certified survey map, the concurrence of the electric and communications companies serving the area as to the location and width of the utility easements shall be noted on the final plat or certified survey map.
B. 
Gas facilities. Distribution gas mains and appurtenances, except service laterals, shall be installed in the street right-of-way, normally in the area between sidewalk and curb. However, the Plan Commission may, at the request of the utility, or where deemed necessary or desirable, require easements of adequate width for the intended purpose along lot lines or across lots for such installations, and such easements shall be noted on the final plat or certified survey map as "utility easements."
C. 
Drainage easements. Where a subdivision is traversed by a watercourse, drainageway channel or stream, an adequate drainageway or easement shall be required, subject to the approval of the Director of Public Works, and parallel streets or parkways may be required in connection therewith. Where necessary, stormwater drainage shall be maintained by landscaped open channels of adequate size and grade to hydraulically accommodate maximum potential volumes of flow. These design details are subject to review and approval by the Director of Public Works.
