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. 

ROAD RIGHT OF WAY

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.

VOTER REGISTRATION

The federal Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) and Wisconsin state statutes require all voters in Wisconsin municipalities to be registered in order to vote after January 1, 2006.  In order to register to vote, you must provide your Wisconsin Driver’s License number or the number of your DOT issued identification card if you have one.  If you do not have a Driver’s License or DOT issued identification card, you must provide the last four digits of your social security number.  Please bring the appropriate documents with you when you come to vote.  You must be registered in order to receive a ballot and vote.  You may register at the polling place on election day.  The polling place for the Town of Wayne is the town hall, hours, 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
