The subdivider shall construct streets, roads and alley as outlined
on the approved plans based on the requirements of this chapter:
A. General considerations. The streets shall be designed and located
in relation to existing and planned streets, to topographical conditions
and natural terrain features such as streams and existing tree growth,
to public convenience and safety, and in their appropriate relation
to the proposed uses of the land to be served by such streets.
B. Construction standards. Construction of all streets shall conform
to the current standards as established by the Village Board and this
chapter, and shall be subject to approval of the Village Engineer
before acceptance.
C. Conform to Official Map. The arrangement, width, grade and location
of all streets shall conform to the Official Map, unless waived.
D. Street construction. After sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water, and
other necessary utilities have been installed, the subdivider shall
construct and dedicate as part of the subdivision, streets and curbs
and gutters. The subdivider shall surface roadways to the widths prescribed
by Village specifications. Construction shall be to Village standard
specifications for street improvements.
E. Completion of streets and sidewalk construction.
(1) No building permit shall be issued for the construction of any residential
dwelling until sewer, water, grading and graveling are installed in
the streets necessary to service the property for which the permit
is required.
(2) The Village Board may issue a waiver of these requirements in unusual
or special circumstances such as excessively severe weather conditions,
heavy construction temporarily in area or construction material shortages
(i.e., cement, asphalt). The issuance of a waiver shall be at the
discretion of the Village Board.
(3) The subdivider requesting a waiver shall do so in writing, presenting
such information and documentation as required by the Village Board.
The waiver shall be in written form and shall detail which improvement
requirements are temporarily waived and for what period of time.
In all urban subdivisions as defined herein, the Village Board
shall, and in rural subdivisions may, require the subdivider to construct
concrete curb and gutters in accordance with plans and standard specifications
approved by the Village Engineer. Wherever possible, provision shall
be made at the time of construction for driveway access curb cuts.
The cost of installation of all inside curbs and gutters for dual
roadway pavements on the established arterial street and highway system
for the Village shall be borne by the Village.
The subdivider shall install street lamps along all streets
proposed to be dedicated of a design compatible with the neighborhood
and type of development proposed as determined by the Village Engineer.
Such lamps shall be placed at each street intersection and at such
interior block spacing as may be required by the Village Board, upon
the recommendation of the Village Engineer.
The subdivider shall install at the intersections of all streets
proposed to be dedicated a street name sign of a design and installation
specified by the Village Engineer.
When the land included in a subdivision plat or certified survey
map abuts upon or is adjacent to land used for farming or grazing
purposes, the subdivider shall erect (at the request of the adjacent
property owner), keep, and maintain (his portion under state law)
partition fences, satisfying the requirements of the Wisconsin Statutes
for a legal and sufficient fence, between such land and the adjacent
land. A covenant binding the developer, its grantees, heirs, successors,
and assigns to erect and maintain such fences, without cost to the
adjoining property owners, so long as the land is used for farming
or grazing purposes, shall be included upon the face of the final
plat or certified survey map.
When required by the Village Board, the subdivider shall install
required bicycle paths and trails in accordance with the plans and
specifications approved by the Village. The subdivider shall assume
the entire cost of such bicycle paths and trails, except in the case
of dual bicycle paths and streets. The added cost for streets wider
than those required in order to accommodate bicycle paths and trails
shall be the responsibility of the municipality charged with the maintenance
of the proposed facility. In the event the subdivider wishes to install
dual-lane facilities, which may not be required by the Village, the
total cost of such improvements shall be borne by the subdivider.
The Village Board may require that the subdivider plant at least
one tree of an approved species and of at least six feet in height
for each 50 feet of frontage on all streets proposed to be dedicated.
Tree planting shall be completed in accordance with plans and specifications
approved by and at such time as directed by the Village Board. The
placement and selection of street trees, however, should not hamper
or interfere with solar access to natural light and air for nearby
lots.
Any and all improvements or utility services required by this
chapter for the subdivision and/or minor land division or lands within
the Village or within the Village's extraterritorial plat approval
jurisdiction shall be extended to the farthest limit of the parcel
or lot upon which a building permit is requested unless the owner
is excused by the Village Board, the Planning Commission or Village
utilities officials. In the event the improvements are required to
the end of the parcel, as defined herein, the owner shall be required
to post bond with the Village if improvements are not made.
