NOTES:

1
|
Street width shall be measured from back of curb to
back of curb. Curb and gutter shall be two feet six inches wide and
be constructed of reinforced concrete.
|
|
2
|
Street width shall be measured from edge of pavement
to edge of pavement. Minimum two-foot-wide gravel shoulder shall be
provided on each side of street.
|

|
Soil borings may indicate a thicker base course and/or
geotextile fabric is needed for arterial and collector streets.

Requirements per Town Standard Specifications Manual.
|
C.
Town road construction guidelines shall supplement the requirements
of this section.
D.
Tangents. A tangent at least 100 feet long shall be provided between
reverse curves on arterial and collector streets.
E.
Sight distance. Streets shall be designed to provide adequate stopping
sight distance, intersection sight distance, horizontal sight distance
and passing sight distance in accordance with Chapter 11, Wisconsin
Department of Transportation Facilities Development Manual.
F.
Street intersections.
(1)
Streets shall intersect at right angles where feasible. However,
no street shall intersect any other street at an angle less than 60°.
(2)
More than two streets intersecting at one point shall be discouraged.
(3)
Street intersections with center-line offsets of less than 170 feet
are prohibited. Street intersections with center-line offsets greater
than 170 feet are subject to final approval by the Town Engineer.
(4)
At street intersections, right-of-way lines may be required to be
rounded with a radius of 12 feet or a greater radius where the Board
considers it necessary. Cutoffs or chords may be permitted in place
of rounded corners.
G.
Median strips. Median or access strips controlling vehicular access
to streets shall be prohibited except where approved by the Board.
H.
Culs-de-sac. Streets designed to have one end permanently closed
shall not exceed 1,000 feet in length and shall provide a turnaround
with a minimum right-of-way radius of 60 feet.
I.
Half streets.
(1)
Where a half street has been previously dedicated adjacent to the
subdivision, the remaining half of the street shall be dedicated by
the subdivider.
(2)
If the Town has officially mapped a street where a portion of the
right-of-way is on property not owned by the subdivider, the subdivider
shall make a good faith effort to obtain right-of-way dedication from
the adjacent property owner. In the event that the subdivider is unable
to obtain proper dedication, the subdivider shall adjust the right-of-way
onto the property owned by the subdivider (with the Town's approval
of the route) or turn the right-of-way acquisition over to the Town
for condemnation, with legal, engineering and administration expenses
born by the subdivider.
J.
Railroad rights-of-way. Where a subdivision borders on or contains
a railroad right-of-way, the Board 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
be determined with regard for the requirements of approach grades
and future grade separations.
K.
Storm drainage. Street drainage shall be in accordance with good
engineering practice, subject to final approval by the Town Engineer.
A.
Restrictions. When a subdivision abuts or contains an existing or
proposed arterial street, the Board may require service drives or
reverse frontage lots with screen planting contained in a nonaccess
reservation along the rear of the property line.
B.
Design. Service drive rights-of-way shall be 50 feet in addition
to the adjoining arterial street right-of-way.
A.
Restrictions.
(1)
Commercial/industrial. Service ways shall be provided in all commercial
and industrial districts; however, the Board may waive this requirement
if definite and assured provision is made for service access, such
as off-street loading and parking consistent with and adequate for
the uses proposed.
(2)
Residential. Service ways shall not be approved in residential areas
unless necessary due to topography or other exceptional circumstances.
B.
Design. Service way rights-of-way shall be a minimum of 30 feet wide.
A.
Any street which is the reasonable continuation of an existing street
shall bear the same name. If the topography or other features of a
permanent nature are such as to render the continuation of the actual
roadway impossible and where such nomenclature could produce confusion,
the street shall not carry the same name as the street to which it
may be geometrically aligned.
B.
The Town Board may disapprove any street name and furnish a new street
name.
C.
The following table shall be considered in nomenclature:
|
Type
|
Dead End

D.
The term "boulevard" shall be reserved for streets which because
of their breadth or monumental character are to be specially designated.
