THE VILLAGE BOARD OF THE VILLAGE OF RANDOLPH, DODGE AND COLUMBIA COUNTIES, WISCONSIN DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1: The Village Board of the Village of Randolph, Dodge and Columbia Counties, Wisconsin, hereby repeals and recreates Title 6, Chapter 2, Section 2; of the Municipal Code of the Village of Randolph as attached hereto and made a part thereof as though fully set forth herein.

Sec. 6-2-2 Construction and Repair of Sidewalks; Cost of Curb and Gutter.

(a) Board May Order. The Village Board may determine that sidewalks or curb and gutter may be constructed, laid, rebuilt or repaired along or upon any public street, right-of-way or highway within the Village. The Village Board may determine or change the width or grade of any street or sidewalk.
(b) Cost of Sidewalks.
(1) New Subdivision Sidewalks. Sidewalks required in new subdivisions and developments shall be paid for by the land developer pursuant to Title 14 of this Code of Ordinances. New sidewalks constructed in existing areas of the Village shall be paid for by the property owners.
(2) Sidewalk Repair and Reconstruction. It shall be the duty of the abutting property owner on each side of the street to construct and repair, and the duty of the abutting property owner to maintain sidewalks along or upon any street, alley, or highway in the Village of Randolph as required by the Village Board and to pay the cost thereof.
(a) When a Village project includes replacement of existing sidewalk, the replacement costs shall be borne by the Village.
(b) Corner Exemptions. When sidewalk is placed on the long side of a corner property (the second side, if the frontages on both streets are equal) a free exemption of one-third (1/3) of the long side shall be allowed. The maximum corner exemption shall be sixty (60) feet. Only residentially zoned property shall receive a corner exemption. This exemption shall be allowed at the time that these improvements are constructed on at least two sides of the lot. If the improvements are constructed on one side of the lot and no improvements are installed on the other side or sides of the lot, the corner lot exemption will be credited at the time of the installation of the improvements on the second side.
(c) Street Corner and Ramps. The Village will pay one hundred (100%) percent of the cost of new and replacement sidewalks at street corners, including curb ramps within the Village right-of-way.
(3) Repairs by Village. When Village personnel or a Village contractor constructs new or repairs/replaces existing sidewalk, all costs incurred will be recorded and conveyed to the Village Clerk-Treasurer and then charged to the property owner as a special assessment. Reference State Stat. 66.0907.
(4) Assessment a Lien. Said special assessment shall remain a lien on the premises until paid in full and shall be entered on the tax role as a special tax as above provided and failure to pay when due shall result in the whole balance being immediately due and payable and collectible as a delinquent tax against the above described property and that all proceedings in relation to the collection, return and sale of the property for delinquent real estate taxes shall apply to such special assessment.
(5) Standard Specifications for Sidewalk.
(1) General.
a. All sidewalks shall be constructed of masonry meeting Wisconsin Department of Transportation Standard Specifications, unless otherwise specified in this Section.
b. Concrete sidewalk construction shall meet the specifications and provisions set forth in this Section and shall be constructed in locations and to line and grade as established by the Village. All sidewalks constructed in the Village shall conform to the line and grade established by the ordinances or resolutions of the Village. Where no grade has been established as ascertained by the records, the Village Engineer shall prepare and report a grade for the approval of the Village Board; and, when the same has been established, the Village Engineer shall stake out the sidewalk as ordered by the Village Board. The cost of the staking by the Engineers shall be charged to the property owner. No sidewalk shall be laid under the provisions of this Section until a grade therefore has been established by the Village Board.
(2) Subgrade. All earth, dirt and material shall be removed to a depth, not less than eight (8) inches, ten (10) inches across private driveways, below the grade line; and the space shall be filled with crushed stone, sand or gravel. The base shall be left four (4) inches thick after being tamped, with the stone or gravel to be not larger than one and one-half (1-1/2) inches in diameter and to be free from dirt, dust and foreign matter. Soft, porous and unsuitable subgrade material shall be removed and replaced with sand, gravel, or other satisfactory material, and the subgrade shall be thoroughly and uniformly compacted and moistened immediately before the concrete is placed. On embankments, the subgrade shall extend at least one (1) foot beyond each edge of the sidewalk.
(3) Concrete. The minimum quantity of cement per cubic yard shall be six (6) ninety-four (94) pound sacks. Concrete shall be mixed for at least one (1) minute. Gravel shall be of good quality and washed. Concrete shall test two thousand (2,000) pounds compression in twenty-eight (28) days.
(4) Forming. Concrete shall be placed in straight forms of wood or metal of sufficient strength to resist springing, tipping or other displacement during the process of depositing and consolidating the concrete. Concrete shall be placed in the forms on a moist subgrade, deposited just above the finished grade and consolidated and spaded sufficiently to bring the mortar to the surface and to prevent honeycombing. It shall then be struck off level with the top of the forms and finished with wooden flats. Forms shall be securely fastened, staked, braced and held firmly to required line and shall be sufficiently tight to prevent leakage of mortar, and all forms shall remain in place for twenty-four (24) hours after pouring.
(5) Jointing, Floating and Finishing. Soon after screening and while the concrete is still plastic, the surface shall be floated with wood, cork or metal floats or by a finishing machine. At all places where the sidewalk intersects another sidewalk or curb-line, a one-half (1/2) inch expansion joint shall be placed. Transverse expansion joints of one-half (1/2) inch thick and four (4) inches wide and five (5) feet long or premolded material shall be located every thirty (30) feet. Sidewalks must be marked off to make blocks five (5) foot square and be at right angles to the parallel lines. Any new sidewalk adjoining an old sidewalk or a sidewalk which abuts curb and gutter shall have one-half (1/2) by four (4) inch expansion joints of premolded material.
(6) Slope.
a. All forms must be approved by the Street Superintendent or other inspector designated by the Street Superintendent before concrete is poured. To provide adequate drainage, the sidewalk shall slope toward the curb at the rate of one-quarter (1/4) inch per foot of width of sidewalk. All joints and edges shall be finished with a one-fourth (1/4) inch radius edging tool.
b. In cases where the grade exceeds fifteen percent (15%), steps or special construction shall be required to fit the existing conditions. Such details shall be prepared by the Village Engineer and approved by the Village Board before construction of the walk is started.
c. Sidewalks shall be constructed within the limits of the street right-of-way, and unless otherwise specifically indicated, there shall be a one (1) foot strip of street property left between the property line and the edge of the sidewalk.
(7) Width and Thickness.
a. Residential walks shall be a minimum of four (4) feet in width, not less than four (4) inches in thickness, except with driveway approaches where the minimum thickness shall be seven (7) inches. In the alternative, the Village Board may direct that reconstructed sidewalks match the width of existing adjacent sidewalks.
b. Sidewalks in front of commercial or industrial establishments shall be not less than eight (8) feet in width and five (5) inches in thickness except within driveway approaches where the minimum thickness shall be seven (7) inches.
(8) Finishing. The concrete shall be struck off true to grade, finished smooth and given a broom finish. All edges shall be rounded. No tool marks shall be left on exposed surfaces. In case of rain, the walk shall be covered to protect the surface from being damaged. Walks shall be kept free from all traffic at normal temperatures for forty-eight (48) hours and in cold weather (below fifty (50) degrees F.) for ninety-six (96) hours. No concrete shall be poured when the temperature may be expected to fall below thirty-five (35) degrees F. in any seventy-two (72) hour period or upon frozen subgrade.
(9) Curing and Drying. As soon as any of the concrete work herein before mentioned has been finished and hardened sufficiently to prevent excessive marring of the surface, it shall be cured and protected against rapid drying. Failure to comply with this requirement shall be deemed sufficient cause for suspension of the work. Curing shall be accomplished by the “Impervious Coating”, “Wet Fabric” or “Paper” methods. For impervious coating or membrane curing, only those materials meeting requirements of ASTM Spec. C156-44T, “Method of Test for Efficiency of Materials for Curing Concrete” shall be used. Said specifications are hereby adopted by reference as if fully set forth herein.
(10) Cold Weather Requirements. When the temperature is less than forty degrees Fahrenheit (40 F), all concrete placed in the forms shall have a temperature between fifty degrees Fahrenheit (50 F) and seventy degrees Fahrenheit (70 F) and shall meet the requirements as per Wisconsin Department of Transportation specifications for cold weather concrete.
(11) Minor Repairs. Nothing in this Section shall apply to minor repairs, the cost of which does not exceed Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00); such repairs may be made at the direction of the Street Superintendent with prior notice to the property owner, and the cost thereof may be charged to the abutting property owner in the same manner as provided in this Section for major repairs.
(12) Variances.
a. Location. Where the location of a sidewalk in accordance with the specifications established herein would conflict with the location of trees, or the root systems thereof, a written variance to the specifications may be issued by the Street Superintendent permitting the sidewalk to be located so as to eliminate or reduce such conflict. No variance shall be issued if the public safety or welfare would be adversely affected thereby. No fee shall be charged for such variance.
b. Material. Where the property owner desires to use non-standard materials such as blacktop, brick, aggregate or cobblestone, in the construction of a sidewalk, a written variance to the specifications established herein may be issued by the Village Board to permit the use of such non-standard material. No variance shall be granted if the public safety or welfare would be adversely affected thereby. A condition of the granting of a variance under this subparagraph shall be the execution and recording of an indemnity agreement running with the land binding the property owner, his/her indemnity agreement running with the land binding the property owner, his/her successors and assigns, holding the Village harmless from any liability, loss or damage resulting from the use of such non-standard materials. An application fee of Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00) shall be paid at the time of applying for the variance.
(d) Repair or Replacement of Defective Sidewalks.
(1) The Village Board may determine that any sidewalk which is unsafe, defective, or insufficient be repaired or removed and replaced with a sidewalk in accordance with this Section. The existence of any one or more of the hereinafter enumerated characteristics shall determine whether a sidewalk is defective or insufficient:
a. One-half (1/2) inch or more vertical differential between adjacent sharp edged individual sidewalk blocks (crack in slab) and between adjacent round edged individual sidewalk blocks (joint).
b. One and one-fourth (1-1/4) inch horizontal distance between adjacent individual sidewalk blocks.
c. Deterioration of the surface to a vertical depth of one-half (1/2) inch or more with each individual sidewalk block.
(2). If eighty percent (80%) of a property owner’s sidewalk blocks are determined to be defective or insufficient, the entire sidewalk shall be replaced.
(d) Illegal Sidewalks. No sidewalk which shall be constructed contrary to the provisions of this Section shall be considered a legal sidewalk and the same may be ordered to be replaced with a legal sidewalk and with one that is in conformity with this Section, the same as if no sidewalk whatever had been built or constructed in the place where any such sidewalk is located.
