The subdivider shall grade each land division in order to establish
street, block and lot grades in proper relation to each other and
to topography as follows:
A. Master site-grading plan.
(1) The subdivider shall have prepared, in accordance with requirements
and standards of the Village, plans and profile drawings together
with typical street cross-sections and specifications which indicate
the proposed established grades of all the streets shown on the plat.
The subdivider shall also have prepared a master site-grading plan
for the entire subdivision. This plan shall be prepared in accordance
with the requirements and standards of the Village Board and shall
show existing and proposed elevations of all lot corners, control
points and building locations. The plan shall also indicate positive
control of all storm drainage in and adjacent to the plat. The cost
of the preparation of such plans shall be paid by the subdivider.
(2) The master site-grading plan shall show existing and proposed elevations
of all lot corners, control points and building locations. The plan
shall also indicate all overland storm drainage in and adjacent to
the subdivision. The cost of the preparation of such a plan shall
be paid for by the subdivider.
(3) After approval or modification of these plans by the Village Engineer,
the full width of the right-of-way of the proposed streets within
the subdivision and the entire subdivision lot area shall be graded
in accordance with the master site-grade plan. The owners of the subdivision
lots shall adhere to those plans.
(4) The subdivider shall grade or cause to be graded the easements required
by the public utilities. These areas shall be graded in conformance
with the master site-grading plan, and seeded in conformance with
the "Wisconsin Construction Site Best Management Practice Handbook."
(5) All stumps, trees which cannot be saved, boulders and other similar
items shall be removed.
(6) Upon completion of all street and subdivision grading, the grades
shall be checked and certified by the Village Engineer to determine
that the completed grading work is in accordance with the master site-grading
plan.
(7) The cost of all required grading work, supervision, certification,
inspection and engineering fees shall be paid for by the subdivider.
(8) Upon completion of grading of the easements, the subdivider shall
supply the Village with a document prepared by his engineer or surveyor
certifying that the completed grading work is in compliance with the
master site-grading plan. The cost of all required grading work, seeding
supervision, certification and inspection shall be paid for by the
subdivider.
B. Right-of-way grading. The subdivider shall grade the full width of
the right-of-way of all proposed streets in accordance with the approved
plans, including the grading of sight triangles at each intersection.
C. Block grading. Block grading shall be completed by one or more of
the following methods:
(1) Regrading along the side or rear lot lines which provides for drainage
to the public drainage facilities.
(2) Parts of all lots may be graded to provide for drainage to a ditch
or to a swale, provided any ditches or swales are in public drainage
easements.
(3) Draining across rear or side lot lines may be permitted provided
that the course of drainage is within a public drainage easement and
is toward public drainage facilities.
D. Miscellaneous grading requirements.
(1) Lot grading shall be completed so that water drains away from each
building site toward public drainage facilities at a minimum grade
of 2% and provisions shall be made to prevent drainage onto properties
adjacent to the land division unless to a public drainage facility.
(2) Grading activities shall not result in slopes greater than three
to one on public lands or lands subject to public access.
(3) The topsoil stripped for grading shall not be removed from the site
unless identified in the Erosion Control Plan approved by the Village
Engineer as not being necessary for erosion control or site landscaping
purposes. Topsoil shall be uniformly returned to the lots when rough
grading is finished. Topsoil piles shall be leveled and seeded for
erosion control prior to the Village releasing the one year guarantee
provision on public improvements in the streets adjacent to the lots
on which the topsoil is stockpiled.
(4) Such grading shall not result in detriment to any existing developed
lands, either within or outside of the corporate limits.
