A.
Restrictions.
(1)
The arrangement, character, extent, width, grade and
location of all streets shall conform to the Official Map and all
area development plans adopted by the village. Furthermore, streets
shall be related to existing and planned streets, topographic conditions,
existing natural features, public convenience and safety and proposed
uses of the land to be served by such streets.
(2)
Streets shall be classified arterial, collector, and
minor in accordance with the village's Official Map.
B.
Street classification.
(1)
Arterial. Arterial streets shall be properly integrated
with the existing and proposed system of state highways, county roads,
major streets and thoroughfares.
(2)
Collector. Collector streets shall be properly related
to special traffic generating facilities, such as schools, churches,
shopping centers and other concentrated population densities.
(3)
Minor. Minor streets feed collector streets and arterial
streets. Minor street layout shall discourage use by through traffic,
provide convenient, safe access to property not served by arterial
and collector streets and consist of a minimal amount of street.
Design of state highways shall conform with
the Department of Transportation's standards and specifications.
Design of county roads shall conform with the
County Highway Commission's standards and specifications.
A.
All streets which are to be constructed within the
village and which are to be dedicated to the village for public use
shall meet the village's standard specifications.
B.
[1]Street design shall be subject to final approval by the
Village Engineer, with the following to be used as design guidelines:

NOTES:
|
|---|
|
1 Street
width shall be measured from back of curb to back of curb. Curb and
gutter shall be two feet zero inches wide and be constructed of unreinforced
concrete.
|
|
2 Street
width shall be measured from edge of pavement to edge of pavement.
Minimum four-foot-wide gravel shoulder shall be provided on each side
of street.
|
|
3 Soil borings
may indicate a thicker base course and/or geotextile fabric is needed
for arterial and collector streets.
|
C.
Tangents. A tangent at least 100 feet long shall be
provided between reverse curves on arterial and collector streets.
D.
Site distance. Streets shall be designed to provide
adequate stopping sight distance, intersection sight distance, horizontal
sight distance and passing sight distance in accordance with Chapter
11, WDOT Facilities Development Manual.
E.
Street intersections.
(1)
Streets shall intersect at right angles where feasible.
However, no street shall intersect any other street at an angle less
than 60°.
(2)
More than two streets intersecting at one point shall
be discouraged.
(3)
Street intersections with center-line offsets of less
than 170 feet are prohibited. Street intersections with center-line
offsets greater than 170 feet are subject to final approval by the
Village Engineer.
(4)
At street intersections, right-of-way lines may be
required to be rounded with a radius of 12 feet or a greater radius
where the Board considers it necessary. Cutoffs or chords may be permitted
in place of rounded corners.
F.
Median strips. Median or access strips controlling
vehicular access to streets shall be prohibited except where approved
by the Board.
G.
Culs-de-sac. Streets designed to have one end permanently
closed shall not exceed 750 feet in length and shall provide a turnaround
with a minimum right-of-way radius of 60 feet.
H.
Half streets.
(1)
Where a half street has been previously dedicated
adjacent to the subdivision, the remaining half of the street shall
be dedicated by the subdivider.
(2)
If the village has officially mapped a street where
a portion of the right-of-way is on property not owned by the subdivider,
the subdivider shall make a good faith effort to obtain right-of-way
dedication from the adjacent property owner. In the event that the
subdivider is unable to obtain proper dedication, the subdivider shall
adjust the right-of-way onto the property owned by the subdivider
(with the village's approval of the route) or turn the right-of-way
acquisition over to the village for condemnation with legal, engineering
and administration expenses born by the subdivider.
I.
Structures 54 inches diameter or greater classifies
as bridge. Village contribution will be reviewed on a case-by-case
basis.
J.
Railroad rights-of-way. Where a subdivision borders
on or contains a railroad right-of-way, the Board may require a street
approximately parallel to and on each side of such right-of-way at
a distance suitable for the appropriate use of the intervening land.
Such distances shall be determined with regard for the requirements
of approach grades and future grade separations.
K.
Storm drainage. Street drainage shall be in accordance
with good engineering practice, subject to final approval by the Village
Engineer.
A.
Restrictions. When a subdivision abuts or contains
an existing or proposed arterial street, the Board may require service
drives or reverse frontage lots with screen planting contained in
a nonaccess reservation along the rear of the property line.
B.
Design. Service drive rights-of-way shall be 50 feet
in addition to the adjoining arterial street right-of-way.
A.
Restrictions.
(1)
Commercial/industrial. Service ways shall be provided
in all commercial and industrial districts; however, the Board may
waive this requirement if definite and assured provision is made for
service access, such as off-street loading and parking consistent
with and adequate for the uses proposed.
(2)
Residential. Service ways shall not be approved in
residential areas unless necessary due to topography or other exceptional
circumstances.
B.
Design. Service way rights-of-way shall be a minimum
of 30 feet wide.
A.
Any street which is the reasonable continuation of
an existing street shall bear the same name. If the topography or
other features of a permanent nature are such as to render the continuation
of the actual roadway impossible and where such nomenclature could
produce confusion, the street shall not carry the same name as the
street to which it may be geometrically aligned.
B.
The Village Board may disapprove any street name and
furnish a new street name.
C.
The following table shall be considered in nomenclature:
|
Type
|
Dead End
|

which, because of their breadth or monumental character, are to be
specially designated.
