A. 
General requirement.
(1) 
In accordance with the authority granted by § 236.13 of the Wisconsin Statutes, the Village of Sullivan hereby requires that, as a condition of final plat or certified survey approval, the subdivider agree to make and install all public improvements required by this chapter and that the subdivider shall provide the Village with security, of the Village's choice, to ensure that the subdivider will make the required improvements. As a further condition of approval, the Village Board hereby requires that the subdivider be responsible for the cost of any necessary alterations of any existing utilities which, by virtue of the platting or certified survey map, fall within the public right-of-way.
(2) 
As a condition for the acceptance of dedication of public rights-of-way, the Village may require, at the Village's choice, that the public ways have been previously provided with all necessary facilities constructed to Village specifications, including, but not limited to, sewerage, storm drainage, water mains and services, grading and improvement of the streets and other public ways, sidewalks, street signing, streetlighting and such other facilities required by the Village Board.
B. 
Options.
(1) 
The required public improvements shall be installed by the subdivider at his/her cost; and/or
(2) 
In addition to the above, the Village, if so authorized by the Village Board, may enter into an agreement to reimburse the subdivider, at the end of the seven-year period, for his/her cost (at the time of construction) of those oversized improvements constructed within the proposed land division, but which are oversized to serve lands beyond the boundaries of the land division or other lands within the subdivider's control, and which have not, during the seven-year period, been reimbursed to the subdivider. Said payment shall be only for the actual additional cost of constructing the oversized improvements within the boundaries of the land division and shall not provide for payment of any interest. The Village shall then establish special assessments against those benefitting properties outside the proposed land division boundaries or the subdivider's control for those costs. To be eligible to proceed under this provision, the land division must occur within development areas identified in the Village's Master Plan or other adopted comprehensive development or public facilities plan.
(3) 
Any workable combination of the above determined by the Village Board as acceptable.
(4) 
If the Village finds that Village construction of such public improvements would not be warranted as a special assessment to the intervening properties, or as a governmental expense until some future time, the developer shall be required, if he/she wishes to proceed with the development, to obtain necessary easements or right-of-way and construct and pay for such public improvement extensions.
C. 
General standards. The required public improvements shall be installed in accordance with the engineering standards and specifications which have been adopted by the Village Board. Where standards and specifications have not been adopted, the improvements shall be made in accordance with established engineering practices, approved prior to the start of construction by the Village Engineer. When new or revised standards and/or specifications have been adopted by the Village, work on public improvements not begun within 18 months of the date of final plat adoption shall be made to the new or revised standards and/or specifications. The Village Engineer shall review and approve the construction plans, specifications and calculations for the construction of the required public improvements.
D. 
Project manager. The subdivider shall designate a project manager who shall be readily available on the project site during the construction of the required public improvements. The project manager shall be granted authority on behalf of the subdivider to make decisions related to the construction of the required public improvements as they may arise during the course of the construction. The project manager shall also be responsible for the scheduling and coordination of the required work to construct the required improvements. Correspondence with or verbal orders to the designated project manager shall have the same authority as with the subdivider directly.
A. 
Subdivider's agreement required.
(1) 
Prior to the final approval and recording of any certified survey map, subdivision final plat, or condominium requiring improvements located within the jurisdictional limits of this chapter, and prior to the installation of any required improvements, and as a condition of said approval, the subdivision, condominium or certified survey map developer (as applicable), shall enter into a contract ("subdivider's agreement") with the Village of Sullivan agreeing to furnish, construct, and install the required improvements at the sole cost of the subdivision, condominium or certified survey map developer (as applicable) and shall file with said contract a performance bond, irrevocable letter of credit, or certified check in the amount equal to, or not exceeding, 120% of the Village Engineer's estimate. Such security amount determination shall be made by the Village Board after review and recommendation of the Village Engineer's estimated total cost to complete the required public improvements. It shall be the developer's option whether to execute a performance bond or whether to provide a letter of credit or certified check to satisfy the Village's requirement that the developer provide security to ensure that the required public improvements are made within a reasonable time per the subdivider's agreement. Security phasing, pursuant to Subsection B below, shall be utilized if the project is to be completed pursuant to an approved phasing plan. When a letter of credit is posted as security, the Village of Sullivan shall be the beneficiary. When a certificate of deposit or certified check is posted as security, the instrument must be negotiable by the Village.
(2) 
The purpose of the guarantee and surety is to ensure that such required improvements will be completed by the subdivision, certified survey map or condominium developer (as applicable), or the developer's subcontractor or agent, and serves as a further guarantee that all obligations to subcontractors for work on the development are satisfied. Such improvements shall be completed by the developer of the subdivision, certified survey map or condominium project, or by his/her subcontractor, as set forth in the subdivider's agreement.
(3) 
The contract form shall be approved by the Village Attorney and provided by the Village and may provide for a phasing of public improvements construction, providing such phasing is approved by the Village Board. The Village reserves the right to control the phasing through limits and sequence so as to provide for continuity of streets, sewers, water mains, and other necessary public improvements within and between the phases. The amount of security that can be required by the Village is limited to the phase of the project that is currently being constructed.
(4) 
The Village may allow for the reduction of the performance bond, irrevocable letter of credit, or certified check as work is completed on the project or phases of the project.
(5) 
In addition, the following requirements shall apply:
(a) 
Contracts and contract specifications for the construction of street and utility improvements on dedicated street rights-of-way, as well as the contractors and subcontractors providing such work, shall be subject to the inspection of construction by the Village or its agent, and approval of the Village of Sullivan.
(b) 
Governmental units to which these security and contract provisions apply may file, in lieu of said contract and security, a letter from officers authorized to act on their behalf agreeing to comply with the provisions of this section, subject to the approval of the Village Attorney.
(6) 
The subdivision, condominium or certified survey map developer (as applicable) shall agree in the development contract to pay all street and sidewalk assessments, specifically all area charges for sanitary sewer mains and all water main assessments, including where the land division abuts existing streets which are not improved within the Village standard street improvements (including, but not limited to curbs and gutters, local storm sewer, sidewalks and bituminous pavement).
B. 
Phasing.
(1) 
Pursuant to § 236.13(2)(am)1.b, Wis. Stats., if the project is approved to be constructed in phases, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, the security required to be deposited shall be limited to the phase of the project currently being constructed. The agreement shall provide a reasonable time not exceeding 14 months by which such security shall be provided, which shall be no sooner than is reasonably necessary before the commencement of the installation of the improvements. In addition, the Village may require by agreement that the developer provide nonsecured improvements warranties. The subdivision, condominium or certified survey map developer (as applicable) may elect, with the approval of the Village, to install the improvements in construction phases, provided that:
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. III)]

Pursuant to § 478-45, the subdivider shall provide stormwater drainage facilities which include curbs and gutters, manholes, catch basins and inlets, storm sewers, storm sewer laterals from the main to the lot line, road ditches and open channels, as may be required. All such facilities are to be of adequate size and grade to hydraulically accommodate maximum potential volumes of flow, the type of facility required, the design criteria and the sizes and grades to be determined by the Village Engineer. Such required improvements shall be dedicated to the Village upon such terms and conditions as the Village Board may determine.
A. 
Underground installation.
(1) 
Insofar as possible, all utilities, including but not limited to natural gas, telephone, cable television and electric service, shall be installed underground with an affidavit by the subdivider that the maintenance of said public improvements will be guaranteed by the subdivider due to use of the improvements by purchasers and construction traffic.
(2) 
Prior to any maintenance, repair or replacement being performed by the developer during the bond period, it shall notify the Village Engineer at least one work day prior to the doing of the work and obtain approval of the Village Engineer as to the nature and manner of work to be done.
B. 
Minimum service. The subdivider shall cause gas, electric power, cable television and telephone facilities to be installed in such a manner as to make adequate service available to each lot in the subdivision, certified survey or land division. All new electrical distribution television cables and telephone lines from which lots are individually served shall be underground unless the Village Board, upon the recommendation of pertinent Village utilities or Plan Commission, specifically allows overhead poles for the following reasons:
(1) 
Topography, soil, water table, solid rock, boulders, or other physical conditions would make underground installation unreasonable or impractical; or
(2) 
The lots to be served by said facilities can be served directly from existing overhead facilities.
C. 
Plans. Plans indicating the proposed location of all gas, electrical power, cable television and telephone distribution and transmission lines required to service the plat shall be provided by the appropriate private utilities.
The Village Board shall require the subdivider to install street lamps, where the Village Board deems such lights necessary, within 18 months of the Village's approval of the project along all streets proposed to be dedicated of a design compatible with the neighborhood and type of development proposed. Such lamps shall be placed at each street intersection and at such interior block spacing as may be required by the Village Engineer. Streetlight design and placement will be determined by the Village Board.
A. 
The subdivider shall pay the costs of providing the street signing necessary to serve the development. Such signing shall include street name signs, traffic control signs, and such temporary barricades and "road closed" signs as may be required by the Village Engineer or Director of Public Works until the street improvements have been accepted by Village Board resolution.
B. 
The Director of Public Works shall have the authority to impose any restrictions to traffic on street improvements not yet accepted by the Village as he may deem necessary to protect the improvements from damage and to protect the safety of the public. Such restrictions shall include, but not be limited by enumeration to, weight restrictions, street closings, access restrictions, or the posting of temporary traffic control measures.
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, in compliance with Village ordinances. 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. Rear yard fences shall not be permitted on zero-lot line lots.
A. 
Utility easements. The Village Board, on the recommendation of appropriate departments, utilities and agencies serving the Village, shall require utility easements for poles, wire, conduits, storm and sanitary sewers, gas, water and head mains or other utility lines. It is the intent of this chapter to protect all established easements so as to assure proper grade, assure maintenance of the established grade, prohibit construction of permanent fences or retaining walls over underground installation and prevent the planting of trees in the easement area. All such utilities shall be installed underground, as required in § 478-32.
B. 
Drainage easements. Drainage easements shall comply with the requirements of § 478-45F.
C. 
Easement locations.
(1) 
Utility easements shall be at least 15 feet wide, unless the utilities, in writing, approve a narrower width, and may run across lots or alongside of rear lot lines (along front lot lines for gas and electric service). Such easements shall be located along rear lot lines, unless otherwise placed by the Village Engineer if rear yard placement is not feasible. Evidence shall be furnished the Village that easements and any easement provisions to be incorporated in the plat or in deeds have been reviewed by the individual utility companies or the organization responsible for furnishing the services involved.
(2) 
All easements dedicated on final plat or certified survey maps for poles, cables or conduits for electricity, telephone or other private utility lines shall be noted thereon as "utility easement". All easements for storm and sanitary sewers, water and force mains, pedestrian walks and other public purposes shall be noted thereon as "public easement for" followed by reference to the use or uses for which they are intended.
(3) 
Village staff shall approve, prior to construction, the placement location of specific utilities using the easement.
D. 
Deed restrictions for easements. Deed restrictions shall accompany each final plat or certified survey map, and shall be filed in the Register of Deeds office. In addition to whatever else may be contained therein, such restrictions shall describe the location and width of utility and public easements which are being established; a description by reference to the final plat or certified survey map shall suffice. Such restrictions shall further recite that the utility companies and the public agencies using such easements are granted the right to place, and shall state that the elevation of such easements as graded by the subdivider may not be altered thereafter by him/her or any subsequent landowner by more than six inches.
When any public improvements of adequate capacity are not available at the boundary of a proposed land division, the Village, or its duly authorized representative, shall require, as a prerequisite to approval of a final plat or certified survey map, assurances that such improvement extensions shall be provided as follows in accordance with the following standards:
A. 
Design capacity. All improvements within or entering or leaving the proposed development shall be installed to satisfy the service requirements for the entire service or drainage area in which the development is located and the improvements shall be of sufficient capacity to handle the expected development of the overall service area involved.
B. 
Extra-sized and off-size improvements. Where improvements of adequate size needed to serve the development are not available at the boundary of the development, the subdivider shall proceed under one of the alternatives as identified in § 478-23.
C. 
Lift stations. Where sanitary or storm sewer lift stations and force mains are required to lift sewage to the gravity system, the subdivider shall have plans, profiles, specifications and estimated operation and maintenance costs prepared for the installation of such facilities to the Village Engineer's requirements. Equipment similar to existing Village equipment shall be utilized whenever possible. The installation, inspection, supervision and engineering fees for lift stations and/or force mains shall be paid for by the subdivider unless otherwise determined and agreed upon by the Village Board. Gravity sanitary sewer service shall be employed whenever determined by the Village Engineer to be feasibly accessible.
A. 
Acceptance of improvements. The dedication of any improvements, utilities, streets, parks, easements, rights-of-way or other lands or rights to the Village or the public shall not be considered accepted by the Village for public ownership until such time as the required public improvements within the intended dedication or necessary because of the intended dedication have been completed and accepted by the Village Board by adoption of a resolution accepting such dedication. Improvements shall be dedicated to the Village free and clear of any encumbrances. The subdivider shall be responsible for and liable for the maintenance, safety and operation of all required public improvements until such time as the improvements are accepted by the Village Board by resolution. In the event the Village must take measures to maintain, operate or make safe a public improvement existing or required as a result of the land division but which has not yet been accepted by the Village, the costs of such measures shall hereby be determined to be Village-incurred costs to be reimbursed to the Village by the subdivider in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
B. 
Inspection and certification of improvements.
(1) 
After any of the following increments of the required improvements have been installed and completed, the subdivider shall notify the Village Engineer, in writing, that the work is complete and ready for final inspection, shall file reproducible record drawings of the completed improvements and shall file lien waivers or affidavits, in a form acceptable to the Village Engineer and approved by the Village Attorney, evidencing that there are no claims, actions or demands for damages, based upon contract or tort arising out of or in any way related to the project and that no moneys are owned to any surveyor, mechanic, contractor, subcontractor, materialman or laborer after all required improvements have been installed. Acceptance of the improvements may be requested in the following increments:
(a) 
Sewer mains and services (either storm or sanitary).
(b) 
Water mains and services.
(c) 
Streets comprised of all grading, gravel, curbs and gutters, culverts and paving.
(d) 
Other miscellaneous appurtenances to the above increments, such as sidewalks, bikeways, streetlighting, street signing, etc.
(2) 
The Village Clerk-Treasurer shall certify that there are no unpaid taxes or unpaid special assessments on any of the lands included in the area of acceptance and shall prepare a final billing for engineer, inspection and legal fees and submit it to the subdivider for payment. The Village Engineer shall conduct any necessary final inspections of the improvements and forward a report to the Village Clerk-Treasurer recommending either approval or disapproval. When the engineering, inspection, taxes, special assessments and legal fees have been paid and when the necessary lien waivers and affidavits have been filed, the report of the Village Engineer, together with the recommendation of the Village Clerk-Treasurer, shall be forwarded to the Village Board for approval and acceptance of the improvements and dedications.
