SNOW REMOVAL REMINDERS
Please shovel out the area around your mailbox and
mark your mailbox so the snowplow drivers can clearly see it and avoid damaging
the mailbox. Please note that it is
improper and against State of Wisconsin highway regulations to ou remove snow from your
driveway and push it across the road.
Thank you for your cooperation.
HOUSE NUMBER REPLACEMENT
The
Town recently replaced all the house numbers with improved signage that will
make it easier to see the house numbers as you are driving the local
roads. Property owners shall be
responsible for the signage. In the
event the signage is damaged or removed, the cost of replacement shall be borne
by the property owner. The property
owner shall be billed for such replacement or repair by the Town of Wayne, and
shall be subject to special assessment for unpaid balances. The signs shall be displayed in such a
manner as to provide immediate recognition to emergency and medical personnel,
namely installed as follows: Within the
road right of way (ROW), ten (10) to twenty (20) feet to the right of the
driveway proper and the face of the number sign to be approximately three (3)
to four (4) feet above the ground elevation at its center point. In the event the above location cannot be
used, the Town Board of the Town of Wayne or its designee shall determine the
proper location. If you have a problem
with the location of the sign, contact a town board member.
PARK
COMMITTEE
Chairman Leander Herriges accepted a recommendation
from Supervisor Kieth Kriewaldt and appointed the following persons to the
Parks Committee on October 18, 2006:
Jennifer Aker, Kieth Ellenbecker, Todd Herbst, Steve Schmitt, Leslie
Taylor and the town clerk to take the minutes of meetings. Mr. Herriges made the appointments, including
himself and Mr. Kuehn. The committee
met several times and is looking to make a recommendation to the Town Board to
purchase lands for a park. The land
purchase may be an item on the Annual Town Meeting Agenda if work proceeds on
course and in time to meet this deadline.
The criteria established last year will be used to assess lands to be
purchased:
We
hope to have a recommendation for the annual town meeting.
SMART
GROWTH PLANNING
The Town of Wayne, Washington County and the
following municipalities (Towns: Addison, Barton, Erin, Farmington, Germantown
, Hartford, Kewaskum, Polk, Trenton
Villages: Kewaskum) have formally agreed to work together in a single
planning effort to develop a multi-jurisdictional comprehensive (smart growth)
plan that fulfills the requirements of the Wisconsin Comprehensive Planning Law
enacted in 1999. Several public
information meetings were held during the last year. The process is ongoing and up to the minute information about
the activities is available on the Washington County Web site: http://www.co.washington.wi.us/washington/home.jsp
HELP MAINTAIN THE RURAL CHARACTER OF THE TOWN OF
WAYNE
The
essence of the rural character of our town is the local farmer who works the
land. Please respect the farmers right
to farm. Don’t tailgate farm machinery
on the roadways. Manure is part of
livestock farming. Sometimes farmers
operate their equipment late at night to plant or harvest crops, respect their
industriousness and hard work.
DRIVEWAYS
If you want to create a new lot, you must provide
access to a public road from the lot.
If you want to access a town road, contact the Culvert Inspector, Donald
Schulz 262 629-5707. If you want to
access a county or state road, contact Washington County Highway Department 262
335-4435.
If you want to build or improve a driveway that
connects to a Town Road, you must contact the culvert inspector to obtain a
permit. There is a fee for the safe
driveway location inspection. If a
culvert is required there is a culvert permit fee and you must post a culvert
bond which will be returned to you
after the final inspection of the culvert.
The Culvert Inspector may request bonding or engineering of
projects. The Town Attorney shall
prepare the bonding agreement at the expense of the permit applicant; the fees
for engineering and review of same shall be borne by the permit applicant. Such bonding or engineering requests may be
reviewed by the Town Board.
The road right of way usually extends 33 feet in
each direction from the centerline of the road. The municipality has access and responsibility for maintenance in
the road right of way. The municipality
may remove any objects in the right of way.
Farmers should not plant crops in the road right of way. Public roads should be accessed only by means of approved
driveways and field entrances. If you
damage the road or right of way by accessing a town road by means other than an
approved driveway or field entrance you are liable for the cost of repair.
