Any division of land as provided by statute, a subdivision control ordinance of the county or Chapter 74 of this Code shall be subject to the following conditions for approval:
(1)
The minimum right-of-way width for a local street shall be 66
feet and the minimum right-of-way width for a collector street shall
be 80 feet.
(2)
(3)
The developer or his designated agent shall submit two sets
of plans for the proposed road construction to the Village for review
of conformance to the Village standards. A plat of the street, showing
all legal drainage easements, descriptions and legal land descriptions,
shall be furnished to the Village.
(4)
Upon completion of final subgrade work and prior to the placement
of crushed aggregate base material, the roadway will be inspected
by the Village engineer to ensure that conformance to the proposed
grades is maintained.
(5)
Any street constructed in the Village shall conform to one of
the typical sections referred to in Subsection (a)(2) of this section
and shall be in accordance with the following minimum specifications:
a.
Roadway type. The type of roadway shall be determined by the
type of drainage facilities available. Where the Village Board determines
that there are storm sewer facilities available or are to be made
available, the roadway section shall incorporate a curb and gutter
section conforming to the typical sections. If the storm sewer facilities
are not available, the rural roadway section may be utilized.
b.
Base course. The crushed aggregate base course will vary in
width in conformance with the typical section utilized and will conform
to the following depth requirements:
1.
The base course for the residential sections shall be 10 inches
of crushed stone, five inches of no. 2 stone (1 1/2 inches),
five inches of three-quarter-inch traffic bond.
2.
The depth for the base course for the industrial and commercial
sections shall be 14 inches of crushed stone, eight inches of no.
2 stone (1 1/2 inches) and six inches of three-quarter-inch traffic
bond.
|
Such stone shall be of a quality at least equal to the quality
of stone used on streets maintained by the Village. Prior to application,
the grade of crushed stone must be approved by the Village Highway
Superintendent or the Village engineer prior to application.
|
c.
Curb and gutter.
1.
Concrete curb and gutter utilized in the residential sections
shall conform to the typical section for a three-inch mountable curb
and gutter. In the commercial and industrial areas, the curb and gutter
shall conform to the thirty-inch type D standard curb and gutter section.
2.
The concrete curb and gutter shall not be placed earlier than
nine months, nor later than three years after construction of the
base course. If building permits have been issued for 50% or more
of the lots within the subdivision, the developer shall complete the
curb and gutter installation no later than 18 months after construction
of the base course. Approval must be obtained from the Village prior
to construction of the curb and gutter.
3.
Whenever the construction of curb and gutter is required pursuant
to Subsection (a)(5)a of this section, the subdivider shall furnish
a document or surety bond sufficient to ensure compliance with such
construction within the time period, not earlier than nine months,
nor later than three years after construction of the base course,
all without expense to the Village.
4.
Whenever any portion of curb and gutter existing in the Village
shall become so deteriorated and out of repair as to be unsafe, replacement
thereof shall be made by the Village, without cost to the abutting
property owner.
d.
Drainage ditches. In areas where the rural section is incorporated,
the drainage ditches on each side shall have a minimum of three to
one side slopes and a depth sufficient to provide adequate drainage.
Drainage ditches shall not be less than two feet, two inches in depth
below the finished grade of the center line of the street. Where deemed
necessary by the Village, the bottom of the drainage ditch shall be
sodded with sod acceptable to the Village and in such a manner that
any and all erosion will be eliminated. Sod used shall measure 18
inches by 72 inches, and the distance of laying the sod shall be determined
by the Village Highway Superintendent. Sod shall be laid at both ends
of all culverts unless otherwise stated.
e.
Culverts required at driveway entrances. Culverts of sufficient
length and diameter to provide adequate drainage and access shall
be placed at all driveway entrances. Prior to installation, such culverts
are subject to approval of the Village engineer.
f.
Culs-de-sac. A cul-de-sac with a minimum right-of-way radius
of 75 feet or a turnaround T with a minimum roadway length of 80 feet
and minimum width of 20 feet shall be constructed to the such specifications
and shall be provided on all dead-end streets and roads greater than
one lot or 200 feet in depth.
g.
Slopes of ditches and terrace areas. The slopes of the ditches
and terrace areas within the right-of-way shall be dressed with a
minimum of four inches of topsoil and seeded with perennial rye grass
mixed with Kentucky 31 fescue and Timothy seed at a rate of one part
perennial rye grass, one part Timothy seed and two parts of Kentucky
31 fescue. Such seeding shall be completed prior to the acceptance
of the base course. Following construction of the curb and gutter,
all disturbed areas shall be restored as outlined in this subsection.
h.
Culverts crossing rural streets. All culverts crossing rural
streets shall be at least 44 feet in length and of such diameter as
prescribed by the Village engineer. Any culverts needed for entrance

prescribed by the Village engineer.
i.
Removal of dirt and topsoil. All black dirt and other topsoil
shall be removed from under the roadway and curb areas.

on frozen ground or ground which has a water content which is too
high, all in accordance with the approval of the Village Highway Superintendent.
k.
Responsibility of developer. Prior to the paving of any road,
the developer shall be responsible for any additional stone or grading
work required. The work shall be completed by July 1 of the calendar
year in which the paving is to be completed. If the developer fails
to complete the work by July 1, the Village shall complete the work
and charge the cost thereof to the developer. The July 1 date may
be subject to exceptions for weather related reasons or extraordinary
circumstances as determined by the Village Highway Superintendent.
l.
Required inspections.
1.
The construction of any public road and storm sewer shall take
place under the supervision of a licensed professional engineer, except
for the binder/topping and proof roll, which shall be inspected by
the Village engineer. All public sanitary sewer infrastructure shall
be staked and inspected by the Village engineer. Public water mains
shall be inspected per requirements and standards of the state department
of natural resources and/or the City of Racine Water Utility.
2.
Prior to commencing the construction of any public road or storm
sewer, the developer shall inform the Village of its selection of
a licensed professional engineer who will be responsible for staking
and full-time inspection of the work pertaining to the construction
of such road and storm sewer. The professional engineer or firm thereof
must have a minimum of 10 years of municipal engineering experience
in the state and carry professional liability insurance, naming the
Village as an additional insured, in the amount of $2,000,000.
3.
The supervising licensed professional engineer shall report
directly and on a timely basis to the Village Administrator or assigned
staff on the progress of the inspection and problems found during
the inspection. The expense for such inspections will be paid by the
developer. As an alternative and with the agreement of the Village,
the developer may have the Village perform such work, and fees shall
be paid in accordance with the developer's agreement. Upon completion
of the work, the licensed professional engineer will certify to the
Village that the roads and associated public infrastructure (storm
sewer and water main) have been constructed according to plans, specifications
and all applicable permits, approvals, codes and ordinances.
4.
Inspection and daily log requirements are as described in Subsection
(a)(5)1.7 of this section, as amended from time to time.
5.
In addition, the engineer in charge must be able to provide
as-built information, in an electronic format, meeting Village requirements.
6.
The developer will be assessed a charge based on the time it
takes to input the development as-built data into the Village's existing
electronic data base system.
