Wisconsin Administrative Code › Department of Transportation › Chapter Trans 233 - Division of land abutting a state trunk highway or connecting highway › LAND SUBDIVISION PLATS ABUTTING STATE TRUNK HIGHWAYS AND CONNECTING STREETS › Section Trans 233.01 - Purpose

Current through June 24, 2024
(1) Purpose of ch. 236, Stats. The purpose of
				ch. 236, Stats., is "to regulate the subdivision of land to promote public
				health, safety and general welfare; to further the orderly layout and use of
				land; to prevent the overcrowding of land; to lessen congestion in the streets
				and highways; to provide for adequate light and air; to facilitate adequate
				provision for water, sewerage, and other public requirements; to provide for
				proper ingress and egress; and to promote proper monumenting of land subdivided
				and conveyancing by accurate legal description. The approvals to be obtained by
				the subdivider as required in this chapter shall be based on requirements
				designed to accomplish the aforesaid purposes."
(2) Purpose of rules. Accordingly, the
				purpose of these rules is to specify minimum standards necessary to meet the
				requirements of state highway commission review of land subdivision plats
				abutting the state trunk highway system as provided under s.
				236.13(1)
				(e), Stats., as follows:
"(e) The rules of the state highway
				commission relating to provision for the safety of entrance upon and departure
				from the abutting state trunk highways or connecting streets and for the
				preservation of the public interest and investment in such highways or
				streets."
Wisconsin Administrative Code › Department of Transportation › Chapter Trans 233 - Division of land abutting a state trunk highway or connecting highway › LAND SUBDIVISION PLATS ABUTTING STATE TRUNK HIGHWAYS AND CONNECTING STREETS › Section Trans 233.02 - Basic principles

Current through June 24, 2024
Land subdivision tends to affect highways by generating
				  traffic, increasing vehicular parking requirements, reducing sight distance,
				  increasing driveways and other access points and, in general, impairing safety
				  and impeding traffic movements. To control these tendencies and to carry out
				  the purposes of ch. 236, Stats., the commission promulgates the following basic
				  requirements in this section and the specific rules of subsequent sections of
				  these rules and regulations:
(1)
				Local traffic generated in subdivisions abutting on a state trunk highway shall
				be served by an internal street system of adequate capacity, intersecting and
				connecting with state trunk highways at a minimum number of points and in a
				manner which is safe, convenient, and economical to maintain and regulate.
(2) Subdivisions shall be so laid
				out that the individual lots or parcels do not require direct vehicular access
				to the highway.
(3) To accomplish
				reasonable functional integration and coordination of roadways and private
				driveways:
(a) The commission, particularly
				in the absence of a local comprehensive general or master plan or official map,
				will consider not only the immediate plat before it, but also its relationship
				to the access requirements of adjacent and contiguous subdivisions and
				unplatted lands;
(b) These rules
				and regulations shall be applicable not only to the lands proposed to be
				subdivided but also to all lands owned by, or under option (formal or
				informal), contract or lease to the subdivider and which are contiguous to and
				adjoin the land being subdivided.

(2) "Subdivision" is as
				defined in s.
				236.02(7),
				Stats.; provided, however; that where the local unit of government, under s.
				236.45(2),
				Stats., has adopted an ordinance governing the subdivision or other division of
				land which is more restrictive than the provisions of ch. 236, Stats., and has
				provided for commission review, these rules and regulations shall also apply to
				those subdivisions or other divisions of land as specified in the ordinance.
(3) "Subdivision abutting a state
				trunk highway" means:
(a) A subdivision some
				part of which adjoins or abuts a state trunk highway; or
(b) A subdivision which includes streets one
				or more of which is to be laid out or dedicated as part of the subdivision, and
				which is to connect with a state trunk highway; or
(c) A subdivision which is separated from a
				state trunk highway by unplatted lands which abut the highway and the
				subdivision and are owned by, or under option (formal or informal), contract or
				lease to the subdivider.

(1) There shall be
				no direct vehicular access between the state trunk highway and the individual
				lots or parcels in the subdivision without the express consent of the
				commission. The following restriction shall be appropriately placed on the face
				of the plat and shall be executed as a conveyance is executed. (It may be made
				a part of the owner's certificate required by s.
				236.21(2)

As owner I hereby restrict all lots and blocks (except Lot
				  Block ), in that no owner, possessor, user, nor licensee, nor other person
				  shall have any right of direct vehicular ingress or egress with (U.S.H.)
				  (S.T.H.) or Street, as shown on the plat; it being expressly intended that this
				  restriction shall constitute a restriction for the benefit of the public
				  according to s.
				  236.293,
				  Stats., and shall be enforceable by the state highway commission.
(2) In accordance with the
				objectives and purposes of these rules and regulations, the commission may
				require a desirable pattern of access between a state trunk highway and
				abutting lands which are contiguous to and adjoin the proposed subdivision and
				which are owned by or under option (formal or informal), contract or lease to
				the subdivider. A recordable covenant running with the land may be required
				with respect thereto.
(3) When
				deemed feasible, frontage roads or a satisfactory alternative will be required.
(4) Before street connections to
				state trunk highways, as indicated on an approved plat can be constructed, a
				permit must be obtained as required under s.
				86.07,
				Stats. These permits for street connections will be issued only to the local
				unit of government and will not be issued prior to favorable commission review
				of the preliminary or final plat.

				subdivision street and an existing or planned street or road. In general, a
				distance of at least 1,000 feet will be required.
(3) In appropriate cases where existing
				streets provide access to the state trunk highway deemed reasonable and
				adequate by the commission, the streets in the subdivision shall not be opened
				directly into the state trunk highway.
