No land shall be used, or structure erected, where the land is unsuitable for such use or structure by reason of flooding, concentrated runoff, inadequate drainage, adverse soil or rock formation, unfavorable topography, low percolation rate or bearing strength, erosion susceptibility, or any other feature likely to be harmful to the health, safety, prosperity, aesthetics, and general welfare of the Village and its citizens. The Village Engineer, in applying the provisions of this section shall, in writing, recite the particular fact upon which he or she bases their conclusion that the land is not suitable for a certain use. Once such a determination has been made, the Zoning Administrator, Building Inspector, or other governmental official or body shall not issue a development order or other approval authorizing the development in the area subject to the development constraint. The property owner shall have the right to appeal such administrative decision consistent with the procedures and requirements in Article 5. The Zoning Administrator may reconsider his or her determination at any time and render a new determination if new or additional facts become known or if the facts upon which the determination was made are not accurate.
Every building hereafter erected, structurally altered, or relocated shall be at a grade approved by the Building Inspector as being in satisfactory relationship with the established street grades, or with the existing street grade where none is established, with particular consideration for proper drainage and safe vehicular access.
No obstruction such as structures, automobile parking or vegetation shall be permitted in any district between the heights of 2 1/2 feet and 10 feet above the mean curb grades within the triangular space formed by any two existing or proposed intersecting streets or alley right-of-way lines and a line joining points on such line located a minimum of 15 feet from their intersection. In the case of arterial streets intersecting with other arterial streets or railways, the corner cutoff distance establishing the triangular vision clearance space shall be increased from 15 to 30 feet.
A. 
Adequate drainage required. No principal building shall be erected on or moved onto land where the building is subject to periodic flooding or where the land is not adequately drained at all times, or where the first-floor level is less than two feet above the highest anticipated floodwater level.
B. 
Obstruction to drainage prohibited. The damming, filling, relocating, or otherwise interfering with the natural flow of surface water along any surface water drainage channel or natural watercourse is not allowed except with approval of the Plan Commission.
No principal building involving human use or occupancy shall be permitted on a lot unless provision is ensured for safe and adequate facilities for water supply and sewage disposal as determined by the Washington County Sanitarian or his/her designee.
All land-disturbing activities authorized by this chapter must comply with the erosion control and stormwater management requirements in Chapter 167 of the Municipal Code as applicable.
All development projects authorized by this chapter must comply with the groundwater protection standards in Chapter 167 of the Municipal Code, except for single-family dwelling units which are exempt.
A. 
When required. A traffic impact analysis is required when the anticipated number of trips per day of the proposed development at build-out is 500 or more. When the number of trips is 300 or more but less than 500, the Village may, in its sole discretion, require a traffic impact analysis when circumstances warrant such review.
B. 
Purpose. A traffic impact analysis evaluates the adequacy of the existing transportation system to serve the proposed development and determine the expected effects of the proposed development on the transportation system. The traffic impact analysis must provide adequate information for Village staff to evaluate the development proposal and to provide recommended conditions of approval in the event approval is recommended.
C. 
Preparation. When a traffic impact analysis is required, the applicant must hire an engineer as approved by the Zoning Administrator to prepare the report. The approved engineer shall have expertise in transportation planning.
D. 
Trip generation rates. Trip generation rates for various land uses shall be based on the manual entitled "Trip Generation" (latest edition) published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. Trip generation rates from other sources may be used if it can be shown that the alternative source better reflects local conditions.
E. 
Form and content. A traffic impact analysis must be completed consistent with the most current revision of the Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines published by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
