Section 66.0907, Wis. Stats., shall apply.
[Amended 10-26-2009]
It is the policy of the City to have curb, gutter and sidewalks
on all existing and future streets. To effectuate this policy, the
following procedures will be followed:
A. An owner of unimproved land abutting on an existing opened street
who improves said property by erecting buildings thereon shall install
curb, gutter and sidewalk along the street abutting said land where
curb, gutter or sidewalk do not exist. No building permit shall be
issued until application for such curb, gutter and sidewalk grade
has been made. The finished lawn or surface grade shall conform to
the sidewalk grade.
B. No street shall be opened or improved unless curb and gutter are
installed, at the expense of the abutting landowners, by the City,
either directly or by contract, at the time the street is opened.
No application for the opening and improving of a street shall be
granted unless accompanied by an application for curb and gutter signed
by all owners of land abutting on the street to be opened.
C. If the owner of any parcel of land fails to construct the curb, gutter
and sidewalk, in a timely manner as required by the City, said construction
may be performed by the City either directly or by contract, and the
cost may be charged to the property owner.
D. If the Common Council determines that curb, gutter and sidewalk shall
be constructed on any street in the City, it may be constructed by
the City, either directly or by contract, and the cost thereof shall
be charged to the property owner.
E. All subdivisions created after January 1, 1990, shall be subject
to the same curb and gutter requirements as set forth above; however,
sidewalks shall be installed in the subdivision upon the occurrence
of any of the following events:
(1) The passage of 24 months from the date that any property within the
subdivision is sold or transferred by the developer;
(2) The sale or transfer of 75% of the lots within the subdivision; or
(3) The passage of five years from the date that the original subdivision
plat is approved.
F. The costs of constructing curb and gutter may be specially assessed pursuant to the Code of the City of Reedsburg and state law. The costs of constructing sidewalk may be assessed pursuant to §
537-12 and Wis. Stats. § 66.0907.
