This article shall apply to all culverts and driveways in the Town. Where the provisions of Chapter
225, Land Development, are applicable and contain inconsistent provisions, the provisions of those regulations shall control.
No person shall construct or maintain any driveway across any
ditch, sidewalk or curb or enter any road without first obtaining
a culvert permit from the Town Road/Drainage Coordinator.
No building permit shall be issued nor excavation begun until
a culvert permit is issued, and the culvert installed and approved
by the Town Road/Drainage Coordinator.
[Amended 4-21-2010 by Ord. No. 136; 6-15-2016]
The fee for any permanent culvert permit, replacement or extension
of culvert permit or temporary driveway culvert permit issued pursuant
to this chapter shall be set by the Town Board. In addition, when
installation of any culvert is begun without first obtaining a permit
therefor as required herein, the Town Building Inspector, Town Road/Drainage
Coordinator, Town Administrator or designee shall have the power and
authority to stop work until a permit has been procured. If installation
is started before application is made, the applicable fee shall be
increased to twice what it would have been if timely application has
been made.
[Amended 6-15-2016; 8-15-2018 by Ord. No. 2018-01]
No driveway constructed within any road right-of-way shall be
surfaced with any material other than blacktop. A permit shall be
obtained prior to beginning any work. The fee for the permit shall
be set by the Town Board. It shall be the obligation of the owner
whose driveway is benefited by such driveway right-of-way construction
so installed to maintain the same in a safe manner so as not to obstruct
or interfere with safe travel upon the roadway. The Town shall not
be liable for any damage or for restoration of any driveway within
the right-of-way, regardless of how or by whom it was damaged. In
addition to penalties otherwise provided by this chapter, any driveway
installed or maintained contrary to the provisions hereof may be removed
pursuant to § 86.4, Wis. Stats., as constituting an unauthorized
structure or object encroaching upon a highway.
