right-of-way of all streets proposed to be dedicated in accordance
with plans and standard specifications approved by the City Engineer.
The subdivider shall grade the roadbeds in the street rights-of-way
to subgrade. Cut and filled lands shall be graded to a maximum slope
of one to four or the soil's angle of repose, whichever is the lesser,
and covered with permanent vegetation.
After the installation of all utility and stormwater
drainage improvements, the subdivider shall surface all roadways in

In all urban subdivisions and minor land divisions
as defined herein, the Common Council shall require the subdivider
to construct concrete curbs and gutters in accordance with plans and
standard specifications approved by the City Engineer. Wherever possible,
provision shall be made at the time of construction for driveway access
curb cuts. The cost of installation of all inside curbs and gutters
for dual roadway pavements on the established arterial street and
highway system for the City shall be borne by the City. In subdivisions
and minor land divisions as defined herein, upon the determination
and recommendation of the Planning Commission that said subdivision
or minor land division may more appropriately consist of permanent
rural-type street sections, the Common Council may waive the requirement
for the subdivider to construct concrete curbs and gutters.
[Amended 4-7-1993 by Ord. No. 1419(35)]
When permanent rural street sections have been recommended for approval by the Plan Commission and approved by the Common Council, the subdivider shall finish grade all shoulders and road ditches, install all necessary culverts at driveways, intersections, and other locations where deemed necessary and, if required, surface ditch inverts to prevent erosion and sedimentation in accordance with plans and standard specifications approved by the City Engineer and as set forth in § 278-66 of this chapter.
A.
In all urban subdivisions and minor land divisions,
the Common Council shall require the subdivider to construct a concrete
sidewalk on one side of all frontage streets and on both sides of
all other through and/or continuous streets within the subdivision.
The Common Council may also require the subdivider to construct concrete
sidewalks on one or both sides of all streets restricting through
traffic or cul-de-sac streets which are in excess of 600 feet in length
or which serve two-family or multiple-family development. The construction
of all sidewalks shall be in accordance with plans and standard specifications
approved by the City Engineer.
[Amended 4-7-1993 by Ord. No. 1419(35)]
B.
When permanent rural street sections in subdivisions
and minor land divisions have been approved by the Common Council,
the subdivider shall be required to construct a sidewalk or path of
such permanent materials as may be appropriate to the character of
the subdivision on one side of all streets and culs-de-sac within
the subdivision. The construction of such sidewalks shall be in accordance
with plans and standard specifications approved by the City Engineer.
[Amended 4-7-1993 by Ord. No. 1419(35)]
C.
In addition, wider than standard sidewalks may be
required by the Common Council in the vicinity of schools, commercial
areas, and other places of public assemblage, and the Common Council
may require the construction of sidewalks in locations other than
required under the preceding provisions of this chapter if such walks
are necessary in its opinion for safe and adequate pedestrian circulation.
The subdivider shall install required bicycle paths and trails in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by the City. The subdivider shall assume the entire cost of such bicycle paths and trails except in the case of dual bicycle paths and streets. The added cost for streets wider than those required by Table 1[1] in order to accommodate bicycle paths and trails shall
be the responsibility of the municipality charged with the maintenance
of the proposed facility. In the event the subdivider wishes to install
dual lane facilities, which may not be required by the City, the total
cost of such improvements shall be borne by the subdivider.

Editor's Note: Table 1 is included at the end of this chapter.
When public sanitary sewerage facilities are
available to the subdivision plat or minor land division, the subdivider
shall construct sanitary sewerage facilities in such a manner as to
make adequate sanitary sewerage service available to each lot within
the subdivision or minor land division. In addition:
A.
The Common Council shall require the installation
of sewer laterals to the street lot line.
B.
The size, type, and installation of all sanitary sewers
and sanitary sewer laterals proposed to be constructed shall be in
accordance with plans and standard specifications approved by the
City Engineer.
C.
The subdivider shall assume the cost of installing
all sanitary sewers eight inches in diameter or less in size. If greater
than eight-inch diameter sewers are required to handle the contemplated
sewage flows, the costs of such larger sewers shall be prorated in
proportion to the ratio which the total area of the proposed subdivision
or certified survey map is to the total drainage area to be served
by such larger sewer and the excess cost either borne by the City
or assessed against the total tributary drainage area.
D.
The subdivider shall install sanitary sewers in accordance
with this Code and specifications of the City Engineer when it is
determined that the proposed subdivision or minor land division lies
within a public sanitary sewer service area and sanitary sewer facilities
are programmed to be extended to the proposed subdivision or minor
land division within six years. Until such time as the public sewers
within the subdivision or minor land division can be connected to
the community public sewer system, they shall be temporarily capped.
No private or public use shall be connected to the sewers within the
subdivision or minor land division until such sewers are connected
to the larger community system. The subdivider shall indicate on the
face of the plat or certified survey map that the owners of private
uses within the subdivision or minor land division shall connect such
uses to the sewers in the subdivision or minor land division at the
time such sewers are connected to the community sewer system and that
the City is held harmless for any damages or costs incurred to disconnect
and abandon any on-site sanitary sewer disposal system then in place
and any costs associated with connection to the public sewer mains.
See Chapter 270, Stormwater Management.
When public water supply and distribution facilities
are available to the subdivision plat or minor land division or when
it is proposed to establish a private water supply and distribution
system to serve two or more lots, the subdivider shall cause such
water supply and distribution facilities to be installed in such a
manner as to make adequate water service available to each lot within
the subdivision or minor land division. The subdivider shall make
provision for adequate private water systems as required by the City
in accordance with the standards of the Wisconsin Department of Commerce.
In addition:
A.
The Common Council may require the installation of
water laterals to the street lot line.
B.
The size, type, and installation of all public water
mains proposed to be constructed shall be in accordance with plans
and standard specifications approved by the Common Council.
C.
The subdivider shall assume the cost of installing
all water mains, water laterals, and water system appurtenances within
the proposed subdivision or minor land division except for the added
cost of installing water mains greater than eight inches in diameter.
D.
The subdivider shall install water mains in accordance
with this Code and specifications of the City Engineer when it is
determined that the proposed subdivision or minor land division lies
within a public sanitary sewer service area and water main facilities
are programmed to be extended to the proposed subdivision within six
years. Until such time as the public water mains within the subdivision
or minor land division can be connected to the larger community water
supply system, they shall be temporarily capped. No private or public
use shall be connected to the water mains within the subdivision or
minor land division until such water mains are connected to the larger
community water supply system. The subdivider shall indicate on the
face of the plat that the owners of private uses within the subdivision
or minor land division shall connect such uses to the water mains
within the subdivision or minor land division and that the City is
held harmless for any damages or costs incurred to disconnect and
abandon any on-site water supply system then in place and any costs
associated with connection to the public water mains.
The subdivider shall cause appropriate utilities
such as gas, electrical 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 or minor land division. No such electrical,
cable television, or telephone service shall be located on overhead
poles. In addition, plans indicating the proposed location of all
gas, electrical power and telephone distribution and transmission
lines required to service the plat shall be approved by the City Engineer.
The Common Council may require the subdivider
to install street lamps 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 City Engineer.
The subdivider shall install, at the intersection
of all streets proposed to be dedicated, a street sign of a design
as approved by the City Engineer.
In all urban subdivisions or minor land divisions,
the subdivider shall plant at least one tree of an approved species
and of at least 10 feet in height for each 50 feet of frontage on
all streets proposed to be dedicated. Tree planting shall be completed
in accordance with any neighborhood plan, or component thereof, and
with plans and specifications approved by and at such time as directed
by the Park Board. The placement and selection of street trees, however,
should not hamper or interfere with solar access to natural light
and air for nearby lots. In lieu of planting street trees, the subdivider
may pay a tree fee as set by the Common Council. The Park Board shall
use the tree fee to plant trees in the subdivision or minor land division
subsequent to approval of the final plat.
The subdivider shall plant those grasses, trees,
and vines, of a species and size specified by the Common Council,
necessary to prevent soil erosion and sedimentation. In addition:
A.
The Common Council may require the subdivider to provide
or install certain protection and rehabilitation measures, such as
fencing, sloping, seeding, riprap, revetments, jetties, clearing,
dredging, snagging, drop structures, brush mats, willow poles, and
grade stabilization structures.
B.
Tree cutting and shrubbery clearing shall not exceed
30% of the lot or tract and shall be so conducted as to prevent erosion
and sedimentation, preserve and improve scenic qualities, and, during
foliation, substantially screen any development from stream or lake
users.
C.
Paths and trails in wooded and wetland areas shall
not exceed 10 feet in width unless otherwise approved by the City
Plan Commission and shall be so designed and constructed as to result
in the least removal and disruption of trees and shrubs and the minimum
impairment of natural beauty.
D.
Earthmoving, such as grading, topsoil removal, mineral extraction, stream course changing, road cutting, waterway construction or enlargement, removal of stream or lake bed materials, excavation, channel clearing, ditching, drain tile laying, dredging, and lagooning, shall be so conducted as to prevent erosion and sedimentation and to least disturb the natural fauna, flora, watercourse, water regimen, and topography. (See §§ 278-71 and 278-72 of this chapter.)
E.
Review of the conduct of such cutting, clearing, and
moving may be requested of the County Soil and Water Conservation
District Supervisors, the State District Fish and Game Managers, and
the State District Forester by the City Engineer or City Plan Commission
as he or it deems appropriate.
Any and all improvements or utility services required by this chapter for the subdivision and/or minor land division of lands within the City or within the City's extraterritorial plat approval jurisdiction shall be extended to the farthest limit of the parcel or lot upon which a building permit is requested, unless the owner is excused by the Common Council after referral to the Plan Commission. In the event the improvements are required to the end of the parcel, as defined herein, the owner shall be required to post bond with the City pursuant to § 278-74 of this chapter if improvements are not made.
