No construction or installation of improvements shall commence in a proposed conservation subdivision until the preliminary plat, construction plans, developer's agreement, and sureties (letter of credit or bond) have been approved by the Common Council and approving authorities having jurisdiction have given written authorization. No preconstruction meeting shall be scheduled or held until all permits required by the Department of Natural Resources, Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, United States Army Corps of Engineers, Waukesha County Environmental Services Department or other such agency have been received by the City and City Engineer. Inspection fees shall be required to be filed as specified in §
392-13 of this chapter.
The following procedure shall be followed for all conservation
subdivision construction/improvement plans and submittal of revised
plans:
A. Five copies of each plan shall be submitted to the Public Works and
Development Department for distribution to the City Engineer, Public
Works and Development Department and the Mayor's office. The site
grading and erosion control plan shall be forwarded to the City Engineer.
The deadline for submittal shall be established by policy of the Public
Works and Safety Committee.
B. In no case will plans be accepted without a developer's deposit.
C. In no case will plans be accepted or reviewed by the City Engineer,
Public Works and Development Department or any City committee without
first being processed through the Public Works and Development Department.
D. In no case will plans be accepted unless all improvement plans are
included with the submittal. Plans will not be reviewed on a piecemeal
basis. The submittal shall include grading plans, drainage plan, public
improvement plans (including streets, sanitary sewer, storm sewer,
water and other utilities), landscape plan and erosion control plan.
An individual plan may be submitted if it is one of the total set
of plans and is being submitted as a revised plan wherein the remaining
plans have been previously approved.
E. There will no longer be a review of so-called "prefinal" or "preliminary"
construction plans for review by only the City Engineer. Preliminary
plan submittal shall be transmitted via the Public Works and Development
Department to all City reviewers for their comments in accordance
with the above. These preliminary comments shall be sent to the Public
Works and Development Department prior to transmittal to the applicant.
Multiple reviews may be necessary and all comments from the reviewers
shall be forwarded to the Public Works and Development Department
with copies to the applicant. The Public Works and Development Department
shall be the coordinator of plan review.
F. Each copy of the plans shall have a drawing and/or revision date
in order for it to be accepted and routed for review.
G. The Public Works and Development Department will transmit the full
set of final construction/improvement plans to the City Engineer.
The City Engineer will transmit to the outside approving agencies.
Once the review is complete, the Director or designee will schedule
the plans for review by the appropriate committee (Public Works and
Safety, Finance) if and only if a letter of approval by the City Engineer
is received.
H. It will be the applicant's responsibility to contact the City to
confirm the date, time and location of the respective committee meeting.
I. Once the City committees and outside approving agencies provide written
approval, the applicant may schedule a preconstruction meeting through
the Public Works and Development Department.
The following plans and accompanying construction specifications
shall be provided by the subdivider and reviewed and approved by the
Public Works and Safety Committee, Department of Natural Resources,
Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District and the City Engineer before
construction or installation of improvements is authorized:
A. Street plans and profiles showing existing and proposed grades, elevations
and cross sections of required improvements.
B. Sanitary sewer plans and profiles showing the locations, grades,
sizes, elevations and materials of required facilities.
C. Stormwater management plans, calculations and profiles showing the
locations, grades, sizes, cross sections, elevations and materials
of required facilities.
D. Water main plans and profiles showing the locations, sizes, elevations
and materials of required facilities.
E. Erosion and sedimentation control plans showing those structures
required to retard the rate of runoff water and those grading and
excavating practices that will minimize erosion and sedimentation.
The time span soil will be exposed and plans to protect existing vegetation
(fences, tree wells, etc.) shall be prepared and such plans shall
generally follow the guidelines and standards set forth in the publication
United States Natural Resources Conservation Service Technical Guide,
adopted by the Waukesha County Land Conservation Committee, as amended.
F. Master site grading plan showing the finished grades of each lot
in the subdivision.
G. Planting plans showing the locations, age, caliper and species of
any required grasses, vines, shrubs and trees.
H. Additional special plans or information as required.
The subdivider, prior to commencing any work within the subdivision,
shall make arrangements for a preconstruction meeting conducted by
the City Engineer where all details regarding the installation of
the required improvements shall be presented and reviewed and shall
include provisions for engineering inspection services. All engineering
inspections shall be made by the City Engineer or his designee. The
approving authorities or their representatives and the City Engineer
or his designee shall inspect and recommend for approval all completed
work prior to release of the sureties and acceptance of dedicated
subdivision improvements.
Within 30 days following the completion and acceptance by the
City Engineer of all improvements, the subdivider shall provide a
duplicate reproducible copy of all improvement plans. Sewer and water
as-builts shall be prepared by the City Engineer at the subdivider's
expense, including any cost necessary to update the City's geographic
information system (GIS).
