All Highway Preparation, Construction and Dedication Expense will be borne by the applicant(s). Prior to the preparation and/or construction of any highway to be dedicated to the Town of Vienna, the applicant(s) should notify the Town Board. An "on-the-site" meeting will then be arranged to be attended by the Town Board and the applicant(s).

The proposed roadway must be at least sixty-six (66) feet in width, properly graded and ditched as specified by the Town officials, with a maximum grade of 8 degrees. The road bed must be at least twenty-eight (28) feet wide and covered with eight (8) inches of crushed rock, properly compacted. Suitable culverts, as specified by the Town officials will be required to handle any necessary cross-road drainage.

If the road "dead-ends", a fifty (50) foot turn-around is mandatory. The road bed will be covered with Hot-Mix Asphalt, per State specifications, at least twenty-two (22) feet in width and a minimum thickness of 2-1/2 inches (1-1/2 inch binder course, plus 1 inch surface course). The finished road must meet the approval of the County Highway Commission.

  • 80.09: The applicant(s) will secure a Release of Damages from all occupants and owners of record and present it to the Town Clerk. A Land Conveyance shall accompany the Release of Damages, all properly recorded by the Register of Deeds.

PERFORMANCE BOND.
The applicant(s) may desire to prepare the Highway (grade, ditch and gravel, etc.) one year and "black-top" it the next year in order to further "compact" the road bed. If so, applicant(s) will provide a bond ($2 per foot), which would enable the Town to finish the road, in case of default by the applicant(s).

The above shall take effect from and after its passage and posting as provided by law.
