The subdivider shall construct streets, roads and alleys as
outlined on the approved plans based on the requirements of this chapter:
A. Street construction standards. The design and construction of all roads, streets and alleys in the Town shall fully comply with the requirements and specifications of §§
490-33 and
490-34.
B. Grading.
(1) With the submittal of the final plat, the subdivider shall furnish
drawings which indicate the existing and proposed grades of roads,
streets and alleys shown on the plat.
(2) Proposed grades will be reviewed by the Town Engineer for conformance
with Town standards and good engineering practice. Street grades require
the approval of the Town Board after receipt of the Town Engineer's
recommendations.
(3) After approval of the street grades, the subdivider shall grade the
full width of the right-of-way of the streets and alleys proposed
to be dedicated, including the vision clearance triangle on corner
lots.
(4) In cases where an existing street right-of-way is made a part of
the plat or abuts the plat, the subdivider shall grade that portion
of the right-of-way to conform to the approved plan.
[Amended 3-13-2019 by Ord. No. 1]
(5) The bed for the roadways in the street rights-of-ways shall be graded
to subgrade elevation.
(6) The Town Engineer shall approve all grading within rights-of-way
and said grading shall extend for a sufficient distance beyond the
right-of-way to insure that the established grade will be preserved.
(7) Where electric and other communications or utilities facilities are
to be installed underground, the utility easements shall be graded
to within six inches of the final grade by the subdivider, prior to
the installation of such facilities; earth fill piles or mounds of
dirt or construction materials shall not be stored on such easement
areas.
C. Street construction. After sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water, and other necessary utilities have been installed, where required by the Town, 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 §§
490-33 and
490-34. Construction shall be to Town standard specifications for street improvements.
D. Completion of street and sidewalk construction.
(1) Prior to any building permits being issued on lands adjacent to streets,
all street construction shall be completed by the subdivider, approved
by the Town Engineer and accepted by the Town Board. Contractors who
damage Town roads during construction shall be liable for such damage.
(2) The Town 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 Town Board.
(3) The subdivider requesting a waiver shall do so, in writing, presenting
such information and documentation as required by the Town Board.
The waiver shall be in written form and shall detail which improvement
requirements are temporarily waived and for what period of time.
After the installation of all required utility and stormwater
drainage improvements, the subdivider, when required by the Town Board
where determined to be necessary by the Town Engineer, shall construct
concrete curbs and gutters in accordance with plans and standard specifications
approved by the Town Board or its designee. Wherever possible, provision
shall be made at the time of construction for driveway access curb
cuts.
Sidewalks may be required by the Town Board in high traffic
areas and areas in the vicinity of schools, commercial areas and other
places of public assemblage. The Town Board may require the construction
of sidewalks if such walks are necessary, in their opinion, for safe
and adequate pedestrian circulation.
The subdivider shall install all necessary traffic control signs
and at the intersections of all streets proposed to be dedicated,
a street name sign of a design and installation specified by the Town
Engineer.
Pursuant to the County's or Town's Construction Site Erosion
Control Ordinance, the subdivider shall cause all gradings, excavations,
open cuts, side slopes, and other land surface disturbances to be
mulched, seeded, sodded or otherwise protected so that erosion, siltation,
sedimentation and washing are prevented. The subdivider shall submit
an erosion control plan that specifies measures that will be taken
to assure the minimization of erosion problems.
When the land included in a subdivision plat or certified map
abuts upon or is adjacent to land used for farming or grazing purposes,
the subdivider shall erect, keep, and maintain 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.
