For the purposes of this chapter, the standards contained in the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code shall be expanded to apply as the standards for construction of the following:
A. Additions, alterations and major equipment replacements for one- and two-family dwellings built prior to the enactment of the Uniform Dwelling Code, and major equipment replacements for one- and two-family dwellings built prior to June 1, 1980.
B. Detached accessory buildings greater than 200 square feet serving one- and two-family dwellings. These structures shall meet the following frost protection for footings and foundations requirements:
(1) Grade-beam slabs are required for structures with a continuous floating slab of reinforced concrete. The slab shall not be less than four inches in thickness. Reinforcement shall be a minimum of six inches by six inches, Number 10 wire mesh or by using 1.5 pounds of fiber mesh per cubic yard of concrete with varying fiber mesh lengths. The slab shall be provided with a thickened edge all around, eight inches wide and eight inches below the top of the slab.
(2) Structures not constructed with a floating slab shall have footings and foundations placed below frost penetration level, but in no case less than 48 inches below grade per Wis. Admin. Code ch. SPS 321.
C. Detached accessory buildings less than 200 square feet in size. Concrete slabs, frost-free footings, and the like are not required, but if they are installed they shall follow Subsection
B above and/or Wis. Admin. Code ch. SPS 321. Wood bearing beams, walls or members in contact with the ground shall be pressure-treated or decay-resistant-type wood per Wis. Admin. Code § SPS 321.10.
E. Manufactured homes.
(1) Maintenance and replacement of equipment. As set forth in §
98-8, an existing manufactured home shall be maintained to conform with the building code requirements in effect when the home was constructed. Manufactured home maintenance and replacement of equipment in manufactured homes shall be performed in conformance with 24 CFR 3280, Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards (HUD Standards), which are hereby adopted for that purpose. No person may replace major equipment in a manufactured home without a
permit therefor and compliance with this section.
(2) Alterations and additions. Alterations and additions to manufactured homes constructed since the enactment of the Uniform Dwelling Code are subject to the Uniform Dwelling Code. The scope of the Uniform Dwelling Code is expanded to cover additions and alterations to manufactured homes built before the enactment of the Uniform Dwelling Code. No person may perform additions or alterations to a manufactured home without a permit therefor and compliance with this section.
No antenna facility, including a "dish" antenna 40 inches or more in diameter, an antenna 40 inches or more in diameter or diagonal measurement, an antenna that extends higher than 12 feet above the roofline, or any mast that extends higher than 12 feet above the roofline, shall be erected or placed on any property within the Village until a
permit shall have first been obtained from the Village Board. This section does not apply to antenna facilities used for the provision of mobile services: see §
245-17.2 for the regulation of such facilities.
A. Application. Application for an antenna facility permit shall be made in writing to the Village Clerk, who shall in turn submit it to the Plan Commission. With such application, there shall be submitted a fee in an amount set by the Village Board and a complete set of plans and specifications, including a plot plan showing location of the proposed antenna facility with respect to adjoining alleys, lot lines and buildings. If such application shall be approved by the Plan Commission, it shall then be submitted to the Village Board at its next regular meeting for final approval. The Plan Commission shall act on all such applications within a period of 45 days.
B. Location of antenna facilities. In order to protect public safety and the safety of the adjoining residence, any such antenna facility approved for placement within the Village may only be located in the rear yard of a residential lot and at such a distance from the adjoining lots as to prevent encroachment on the adjoining lots in case of collapse. It shall also be placed as close to the residence as is reasonably possible. Placement in other districts shall be approved by the Plan Commission. When determining the location of any antenna facility, distance from power lines and any other safety factors shall be considered and shall be a basis for rejection of a permit or a requirement that the antenna facility be located in a specific location.
C. Connection to electrical lines. All electrical lines, cables and conduits running to or from any such antenna facility shall be buried. If an antenna facility is to be used by two or more residential property owners, all interconnecting electrical connections, cables and conduits shall also be buried. The location of all such underground lines, cables and conduits shall be shown on the application for permit.
D. Wind pressure. Each antenna facility shall be securely anchored to withstand a maximum wind pressure anticipated, taking into consideration the size, shape and weight of all of its components.
E. Temporary placement. An antenna facility may be placed in a yard on a trial basis for a period not exceeding 10 days.
The owner of any residential, multifamily, industrial, or commercial building located in the Village of Waterford shall cause to be installed upon said structure applicable identifying street numbers, which shall be assigned by and obtained from the Building Inspector through the office of the Village Clerk, upon request. Said numbers shall be displayed prominently upon the structure to be visible from the street upon which the structure faces, all for the benefit of the public, the providers of public safety services, and the Village management. The Village shall have the right to change existing house numbers, for safety reasons, where errors in street numbering have occurred, and/or where building sites have been inserted between existing properties.
A. New construction. At the time of making application for a building permit for the construction of a structure in the Village of Waterford, the applicant shall obtain street numbers from the Building Inspector, through the office of the Village Clerk, in a form provided by the Village, which cost may be charged to the applicant. Such street numbers shall be installed upon the property prior to the time that occupancy permits are issued and as a condition for such occupancy permit issuance.
B. Existing structures. The owner of any existing residential, multifamily, commercial, or industrial building located in the Village of Waterford shall obtain a street number from the Building Inspector, through the Village Clerk's office, the cost of which street number may be charged to the applicant at the time of its request. Said numbers shall be installed upon the structure in a location visible from the street upon which the structure faces, within 20 days of notice from the Building Inspector of the violation of this chapter by any such building owner. Failure to make such installation within the twenty-day time period shall constitute a violation of this section of the Municipal Code.
C. Location of street numbers. All street numbers shall be located on the face of the building visible from the street upon which the building faces, in near proximity to the main entrance to the structure, and not concealed by building lines, architectural design, shrubbery, or other facades attached to the building. Failure to comply with any term or condition of this section of the chapter shall constitute a violation of this section of the Building, Plumbing, Electrical and Mechanical Code.
Whenever the Building Inspector determines that any building or structure is so old, dilapidated or has become so out of repair as to be dangerous, unsafe, unsanitary or otherwise unfit for human habitation, occupancy or use, the Inspector shall recommend to the Village Board that an order be sent to the owner to raze and remove all or part thereof, or to repair the same if such structure can be made safe and sanitary by reasonable repairs. Such orders and proceedings shall be as provided in Wis. Stats. § 66.0413.
