All required improvements shall be constructed in accordance with plans and standard specifications approved by the City Public Works and Safety Committee, City Engineer, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, as may be appropriate. Such plans and standard specifications shall be submitted, reviewed and approved in accordance with § 392-69 of this chapter.
A.
The improving of a dedicated roadway to City specifications must
follow the following guidelines: All land divisions which create new
public right-of-way shall be required to improve, within said right-of-way,
a public road to City of Muskego specifications and detail drawings.
Should the road end with a permanent cul-de-sac, land must be dedicated
per City standards and the road constructed to City of Muskego specifications.
Should the road end with a future possible road extension, a temporary
cul-de-sac may be constructed with a temporary easement; however,
the size must be the same as a permanent cul-de-sac. City of Muskego
stormwater management requirements must be met should the improvements
add more than 1/2 of an acre of impervious surface. All roadway, grading,
storm sewer, and stormwater plans must be reviewed by the City of
Muskego as required by Municipal Code. The following requirements
vary by the size of the parcels being divided:
(1)
Should a land division create parcels with an average size of less
than or equal to 40,000 square feet, the road shall be built to City
specifications that include curb and gutter and storm sewer.
(2)
Should a land division create parcels with an average size of greater
than 40,000 square feet, the developer may choose to request a Public
Works and Safety Committee decision regarding the type of improvements
required. The only option Public Works and Safety Committee will consider
other than curb and gutter section is ditch section construction per
City of Muskego specifications. Should this option be permitted, the
ditch sections shall be maintained by the developer initially and
ultimately the homeowners' association. Furthermore, these restrictions
outlining the responsibility for this maintenance shall be recorded
in a developer's agreement approved the City's Common Council concurrent
with the final land division document.
(3)
Private driveways within newly created public right-of-way are not
allowed under any circumstance.
B.
Improvements to be extended to farthest limit of parcel or lot. Any
and all improvements, streets, or utility services required by this
chapter for the subdivision, certified survey map, or condominium
plat shall be extended to the farthest limit of the parcel or lot
as set forth on the plans and specifications approved by the City.
If determined by the Plan Commission, based on the information of
engineering staff, that a resulting development will cause increased
effects on existing infrastructure, the cost of all reasonably necessary
improvements on the exterior of a development, such as expanded roadways,
intersections, and/or utility extensions, shall be paid by the developer/owner.
C.
Improvements to be extended to farthest affected area. Any and all
improvements, streets, or utility services required by this chapter
for the subdivision, certified survey map, or condominium plat shall
be extended to the farthest affected area. If determined by the Public
Works and Safety Committee or Plan Commission, based on the information
of engineering staff, that a resulting development will cause increased
effects on infrastructure, the cost of all improvements on the exterior
of a development, such as expanded roadways, intersections, and/or
utility extensions, shall be paid by the developer/owner.
The subdivider shall install survey monuments placed in accordance
with the requirements of § 236.15, Wis. Stats., and as may
be required by the City Engineer.

of grading operations or such additional time period as may be approved
by the City Engineer.
B.
The subdivider shall grade the development pads and full width of
the right-of-way of all streets proposed to be dedicated in accordance
with plans and standard specifications approved by the City Public
Works and Safety Committee and any agency having jurisdiction, including
the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, upon the recommendation
of the City Engineer. The subdivider shall grade the roadbeds in the
street rights-of-way to subgrade.
C.
Where electric and communication facilities are to be installed underground,
the utility easements shall be graded to within six inches of final
grade by the subdivider prior to the installation of such facilities,
and earth fill, piles or mounds of dirt or construction materials
shall not be stored on such easement areas.
After the installation of all utility and stormwater drainage
improvements, the subdivider shall surface all roadways in streets
proposed to be dedicated to the widths prescribed by these regulations
and the adopted Comprehensive Plan or adopted plan components. Such
surfacing shall be done in accordance with plans and standard specifications
approved by the City Public Works and Safety Committee, upon the recommendation
of the City Engineer, and adopted by the Common Council or its authorized
agents. The second lift of asphalt shall be installed in accordance
with policies established from time to time by the Public Works and
Safety Committee.
The Common Council may require the subdivider to construct concrete
curb and gutters in accordance with plans and standard specifications
approved by the City Public Works and Safety Committee, upon the recommendation
of the City Engineer, and adopted by the Common Council or its authorized
agents. Mountable curbs shall generally be constructed.
A.
The Plan Commission and Common Council may require the subdivider
to construct a concrete sidewalk or asphalt off-road path on one side
of all frontage streets and on one or both sides of all other streets
within the subdivision. The construction of all sidewalks and paths
shall be in accordance with plans and standard specifications adopted
by the Common Council.
B.
Wider than standard sidewalks or paths may be required by the Plan
Commission and Common Council in the vicinity of schools, commercial
areas and other places of public assemblage where the potential pedestrian
density may warrant, and the Council may require the construction
of sidewalks in locations other than required under the preceding
provisions of this chapter if such walks are necessary, in its opinion,
for safe and adequate pedestrian circulation.

subdivision. The subdivider shall make provision for adequate private
water systems as required by the City in accordance with the standards
of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and Department of
Health Services. In addition:
(1)
All subdivisions within the water supply service area of the City
shall be provided public water supply and distribution facilities
or community well facilities.
(2)
The subdivider shall install water laterals to the street lot line
for all lots.
(3)
Where a community well is approved by the Common Council as a water
distribution system for the subdivision, the developer shall require
the installation of water meters in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the City and the State Plumbing Code. The meter water
usage shall be the basis for establishing water rates in the subdivision.

electrical, telephone or cable television service shall be located
on overhead poles. In addition, plans indicating the proposed location
of all such utilities shall be approved by the City Engineer.
B.
All new electric or communication lines from which lots are individually
served shall be installed underground within all newly platted subdivisions
unless the Plan Commission shall find that the lots to be served by
such facilities can be served directly from existing overhead facilities.
Associated equipment and facilities which are pertinent to underground
electric and communications systems, including but not limited to
substations, pad-mounted transformers, pad-mounted sectionalizing
switches and pedestal-mounted terminal boxes, may be located above
ground. Any landscape screening plan required for such aboveground
equipment shall be submitted to the affected utilities for approval.
