ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS
Every building erected, structurally altered or relocated shall be at a grade approved by the Village of Pewaukee engineer/building inspector or his designee 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.
(Ord. No. 99-5, § 17.12(1), 5-4-1999)
(a)
To the extent practicable, all development shall conform to the natural contours of the land and natural and pre-existing manmade drainageways shall remain undisturbed.
(b)
To the extent practicable, lot boundaries shall be made to coincide with natural and pre-existing manmade drainageways within subdivisions to avoid the creation of lots that can be built upon only by altering such drainageways.
(c)
No surface water may be channeled or directed into a sanitary sewer.
(d)
Whenever practicable, the drainage system of the development shall coordinate with and connect to the drainage systems or drainageways of surrounding properties or streets.
(e)
The damming, filling, relocation or interference with the natural flow of surface water along any surface water drainage channel or natural watercourse shall not be permitted except with approval of the Village of Pewaukee engineer.
(f)
Construction specifications for drainage swales, curbs and gutters and storm drains shall be subject to the village standards and specifications.
(g)
All developments shall be constructed and maintained in accordance with erosion control and stormwater specification specified in section 40.458.
(h)
The discharge of water from a pool, pond, excavation or any receptacle shall be directed to a storm sewer where available. Where the property is not serviced by a storm sewer, the discharge shall be directed to a roadside drainage ditch. Where a storm sewer, drainage ditch or other drainage facility is not adjacent to a public roadway, the discharge shall only be directed to such storm sewer, drainage ditch or other drainage facility with the written approval of the village engineer. This applies to all discharges either pumped or by gravity. The village reserves the right to regulate the rate of discharge.
(Ord. No. 99-5, § 17.12(2), 5-4-1999)
(a)
No principal building involving human use or occupancy shall be permitted on a lot unless provision is ensured for safe and adequate facilities for disposal of sewage. Satisfactory evidence to this effect shall be submitted to the engineer who shall verify that such facilities are satisfactory and in conformity to all applicable ordinances. Construction specifications for sewage disposal facilities shall be subject to the Village of Pewaukee standards and specifications.
(b)
No outhouse, privy, holding tank or portable chemical toilet shall be erected and/or used except as a temporary use on construction sites or as accessory to approved outdoor recreational and park areas (e.g., school events, parks, minor home events, etc.).
(c)
Lots to be served by private sewerage disposal facilities shall comply with applicable State of Wisconsin and Waukesha County requirements.
(d)
A holding tank shall be allowed to replace a failing private sewage disposal system as the only reasonable alternative for serving an existing use subject to village board approval.
(e)
Whenever it can reasonably be anticipated that utility facilities constructed in one development will be extended to serve other adjacent or nearby developments, such utility facilities shall be located and constructed so that extensions can be conveniently and reasonably made in the future.
(Ord. No. 99-5, § 17.12(3), 5-4-1999)
(a)
No habitable structure shall be constructed or land division approved unless provision is made for a safe and adequate supply of drinking water on the premises.
(b)
Construction specifications for water systems shall be subject to the Village of Pewaukee standards and specifications.
(c)
Whenever it can reasonably be anticipated that water utility facilities constructed in one development will be extended to serve other adjacent or nearby developments, such utility facilities shall be located and constructed so that extensions can be made conveniently and without undue burden or expense or unnecessary duplication of service.
(Ord. No. 99-5, § 17.12(4), 5-4-1999)
(a)
Every principal use and every lot within a subdivision shall have available to it a source of electric power and telephone service adequate to accommodate the reasonable needs and use of every lot within the subdivision.
(b)
All electric power (not to include transformers or enclosures containing electrical equipment), telephone, gas distribution and cable television lines installed to serve new development shall be placed underground in accordance with the specifications and policies of the respective utility companies.
(Ord. No. 99-5, § 17.12(5), 5-4-1999)
No person, firm or corporation shall place solid fill upon any Village of Pewaukee lands without first obtaining a filling permit in compliance with engineering policies and specifications. Filling and excavation shall be in compliance with section 40.458.
(Ord. No. 99-5, § 17.12(6), 5-4-1999)
(a)
When a developer installs or causes the installation of water, sewer, electrical power, telephone or cable television facilities and intends that such facilities shall be owned, operated or maintained by a public utility or any entity other than the developer, the developer shall transfer to such utility or entity the necessary ownership or easement rights to enable the utility or entity to operate and maintain such facilities.
(b)
Drainage and utility easements may be required by the Village of Pewaukee in connection with specific site plan approval. Generally, no landscaping or structures are allowed within the easement.
(Ord. No. 99-5, § 17.12(7), 5-4-1999)
(a)
All streets shall be constructed in accordance with the Village of Pewaukee standards and specifications. The plan commission may waive or modify these specifications if, in their judgment, the waiver or modification is not adverse to the public health, safety and welfare.
(b)
The right-of-way of all streets shall be the width specified on the official map and/or the widths approved by the agencies having jurisdiction over the streets.
(c)
Streets shall be classified in accordance with the village.
(d)
Streets shall be designed and located in relation to existing and planned streets, topographical conditions and natural terrain, features such as streams and existing tree growth, public convenience and safety.
(e)
Local and minor residential streets may be required to connect with surrounding streets when necessary to permit the convenient movement of traffic between residential neighborhoods or to facilitate access to neighborhoods by emergency service vehicles or for other sufficient reasons. Connections may be denied where the effect would be to encourage the use of such streets by substantial through traffic.
(f)
Whenever connections to anticipated or proposed surrounding streets are required by this section, the street right-of-way shall be extended and the street developed to the property line of the subdivided property, or to the edge of the remaining undeveloped portion of a single tract, at the point where the connection to the anticipated or proposed street is expected. In addition, the village may require temporary turnarounds to be constructed at the end of such streets pending their extension when such turnarounds appear necessary to facilitate the flow of traffic or accommodate emergency vehicles. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this section, no temporary dead-end street in excess of 1,000 feet may be created unless no other practicable alternative is available.
(g)
Whenever possible, proposed intersections along one side of a street shall coincide with existing or proposed intersections on the opposite side of such street. In any event, where a centerline offset (jog) occurs at an intersection, the distance between centerlines of the intersecting streets shall be not less than 150 feet.
(h)
No poles, planters, walls, fences, rocks, berms or any other structures or landscaping which could create a road hazard or impede road or ditch maintenance (manmade impediments) shall be permitted on or over any roadside right-of-way for mailboxes.
(i)
On corner lots having frontage on one or more streets with an established road right-of-way width in excess of 60 feet, street access shall be restricted to that street having the smaller established road right-of-way width, unless specifically waived by the planning commission.
