* Lot widths and linear feet indicate maximum
only; there is no minimum.
B. Intersections.
1. Streets shall be laid out so as to intersect as nearly as
possible at right angles. No two streets shall intersect at an angle which
varies more than ten degrees from perpendicular in either direction. The
intersection of more than two streets shall be avoided unless specific
conditions of design dictate otherwise.
2. Proposed new intersections along one side of an existing
road or street shall, wherever practicable, coincide with any existing
intersections on the opposite side of such road or street. Street jogs with
centerline offsets of less than one hundred twenty-five feet shall not be
permitted.
3. In order to provide for safe vehicular movement on minor
residential streets, property lines at intersections shall be truncated by
straight lines joining points of fifteen feet back from the property line
intersections.
A curved line, making a rounded property line, may also be
used. In cases involving major highways, angular intersections, abrupt changes
in alignment, or other cases where more dedication is deemed necessary by the
village engineer, such dedication shall be required.
4. Surface grading at intersections shall be such as to
permit unobstructed vision within the sight triangle formed by a line along the
curb of one of the intersecting streets sixty feet distant from the center line
of the other intersection street and sixty feet distant along the same
centerline of the latter street:
C. Alleys.
1. Alleys may be provided at the rear of all lots or tracts
intended for commercial or industrial use but shall not be provided in tracts or
blocks intended or zoned for residential use.
2. The minimum right-of-way for alleys shall be twenty feet.
All alleys must be paved.
3. Where alleys intersect with streets or other alleys,
corners shall be cut off sufficiently to permit safe vehicular movement. See
subsection (B)(3) of this section.
4. Dead-end alleys shall be avoided where possible, but if
unavoidable, shall be provided with adequate turn-around facilities, as
determined by the village engineer.
D. Street Names. A proposed street which is in alignment with
or joins an existing and named street shall bear the name of the existing
street. In no case shall the proposed name of the street duplicate the name of
an existing street within the area covered by this appendix. The use of the
suffix "street," "avenue," "boulevard," "drive," "place," "lane," "court" or
similar description shall not be distinction sufficient to constitute compliance
with this subsection. Nor shall streets have names that are of the same phonetic
pronunciation. The proper name or names of a street shall not be more than ten
letter characters and/or letter spaces combined in length.
E. Easements for Utilities. Except where alleys are provided
for the purpose, utility easements shall be provided for use in erecting,
constructing and maintaining poles, wires, conduits, storm sewers, sanitary
sewers, surface drainage, gas mains, electrical lines and other public utilities
required for an urban structure and shall be a minimum width of fifteen feet.
Easements for underground cable for street lighting shall be provided on final
plat. No building shall be erected on the easements.
F. Blocks.
1. Under ordinary circumstances block lengths shall not be
less than two hundred fifty feet nor more than twelve hundred feet, with the
following factors to be utilized in the determination of the lengths, widths and
shapes of blocks and exceptions to the above block length
requirements:
a. Provisions of adequate building sites suitable to the
special needs of the type of use contemplated;
b. Zoning requirements as to lot sizes and
dimensions;
c. Needs for convenient access, circulation, control and
safety of street traffic;
d. Limitations and opportunities of topography.
2. Paved pedestrian through walkways of not less than ten
feet right-of-way shall be required in blocks exceeding twelve hundred feet in
length and placed as near the center of the block as possible.
3. In residential areas, blocks shall be designed such that
each lot within the block fronts on a paved residential or collector street. No
lot shall front on a major thoroughfare, unless an access or frontage road is
provided.
G. Lots.
1. The minimum frontage, depth, width and area requirements
shall not be less than the standards for corresponding use established by the
zoning ordinance of the village.
2. In the case of wedge-shaped residential lots fronting on a
curved street, the minimum width at the street line shall be thirty
feet.
3. Lots intended for commercial or industrial use and
development shall have adequate off-street parking facilities and shall in all
ways conform to the village zoning ordinance.
4. Insofar as practical, side lot lines shall be at right
angles to straight street lines or radial to curved street lines.
5. Building setback lines shall be established on all lots,
and the minimum building setback line shall be appropriate for the location of
the subdivision and for the type of development and use contemplated, provided
however, that they shall not be less than the standards established by the
village zoning ordinance.
6. Corner lots shall have sufficient width to permit front
setbacks on both streets, as set forth for the district in the village zoning
ordinance.
7. Through lots and reverse frontage lots are prohibited
except when deemed essential to provide separation from traffic thoroughfares. A
screening easement of a minimum of ten feet in width utilizing proper indigenous
plants and foliage of a minimum of eight feet in height shall be required across
the rear line of commercial and industrial lots for which the exceptions are
made and are suggested for residential lots. There shall be no means of access
through said easement to any such street, thoroughfare or other disadvantageous
use.
8. All lots shall front on paved streets with curbs, gutters
and sidewalks which meet the standards established in this section, except under
the following circumstances:
a. Property fronting on existing paved streets with no curb
and gutter but only if the village board concludes that the alignment with
drainage and other characteristics of the street will not create an unreasonably
dangerous condition for persons travelling on the street or have an unreasonably
adverse impact on adjoining property; or
b. Within a rural residential subdivision provided that such
subdivision is not created through the extension of an existing street having
curbs and gutters and provided that the village board finds that drainage and
other characteristics of the property to be subdivided will not have an
unreasonably dangerous impact on persons utilizing the street or have an
unreasonably adverse impact upon adjoining properties.
H. Park and Recreation Land.
1. Each residential subdivision shall contain land dedicated
to the village or in lieu thereof, a payment shall be made by the subdivider for
the purpose of providing park and recreation land for the village. The amount of
the land to be dedicated shall be based on the net area of the subdivision,
defined as the total area of land to be subdivided after subtraction of land
dedicated for streets and other public areas exclusive of easements. The
following formula shall be used in determining the amount of land to be
dedicated for park and recreation purposes.

In lieu of dedicating land, the subdivider shall make a cash
payment to the village. The payment shall be based on the fair market value of
land in the same general geographic area or the average sale price of an
equivalent parcel in the same subdivision, whichever is greater.
In no case shall less than two acres of land be dedicated. If
the net density per acre is such that less than two acres is to be dedicated,
payment shall be made to the village.
Land dedicated pursuant to this section shall be so located
in relation to existing or planned roads and residences so as to promote access
to and maximum utilization of such land for park purposes. Dedicated land shall
be in contiguous parcels.
The village board may allow a combination dedication and
payment to be made if the minimum acreage requirement set forth herein is met.
The board has the sole discretion in determining this combination and has the
sole discretion of allowing payment to be made in the place of land if the
amount of land to be dedicated is greater than two acres.
2. When a subdivision contains land which has been designated
as park and recreation land in the village’s comprehensive plat or other
such similar document that designates land for park and recreation purposes, the
subdivider shall dedicate that proportion of land as specified in subsection
(H)(1) of this section within the area so designated by the comprehensive plan.
The village then has up to one year from the date of approval of the final plat
to purchase, at fair market value, the remainder of the land designated as park
and recreation land. If the village fails to purchase the land, the subdivider
may use that land as he or she sees fit, providing he or she keeps the use in
conformance with the remainder of the subdivision. (Subdivision Ordinance dated
6/3/03 § 4-1)
