ARCHITECTURAL RESTRICTIONS

All Lots and their improvements shall be subject to the following architectural restrictions:

5.1 Building Sites. All buildings constructed on Lots shall have front, side and back yards which, at a minimum, conform to applicable zoning ordinances. The ACC shall have the right to grant variances from such setback requirements from time to time, in its sole discretion, provided that any variances are in conformity with all applicable zoning ordinances.

5.2 Surface Elevation.

(a) Except as provided in Section 5.2(b), the elevation of any Lot shall not be changed so as to materially affect the surface elevation, grade or drainage patterns to the surrounding Lots. Declarant will construct certain drainage swales and roadside ditches in the land comprising the Subdivision and that land may contain certain natural drainage ways. Such swales, ditches and ways will be called the “Drainage System.” No Owner shall alter the Drainage System without the prior written consent of Declarant. Each Owner shall maintain and repair all parts of the Drainage System located within the Owner’s Lot. Any Owner who violates these covenants shall be required to restore the Drainage System or restore the surface elevation, grade or drainage patterns to the surrounding Lots at the Owner’s sole expense. If an Owner violates the grading, site or landscaping plans submitted by the Owner to the ACC, the ACC or any affected Owner shall have a cause of action against the violating Owner for both damages and injunctive relief.

The Declarant shall not be liable to any Owner for any such grading or regrading, except that if the grading or regrading occurs after the Owner has either seeded or installed sod on the Owner’s Lot, and if the grading or regrading damages the Owner’s grass or sod, the Declarant shall be obligated to reasonably restore the grass or sod to its condition prior to the grading or regrading.

5.3 Drainage. To the extent possible, the Owner of each Lot shall direct stormwater from downspouts, driveways and other impervious areas located on the Lot to pervious surfaces.

Before the surface course is placed on a public street, the Town’s snow plows may damage driveways which have been placed above the elevation of the binder course of asphalt. The Town will not be liable for the repair of any such damage. Any such damage shall be repaired at the sole expense of the Owner.

Each Owner shall install the Owner’s driveway within thirty days after completion of construction of the Owner’s house, unless not permitted by weather conditions. If weather conditions delay completion of a driveway, the driveway shall be completed as soon as weather permits.

December 30, 2014 Chair and Members of the Town Plan Commission Town of Middleton 7555 W. Old Sauk Road Verona, WI 53593 Re: Meadow Road Estates Final Plat Town of Middleton Dear Ms. Schmidt and Plan Commission Members: We have completed our review of the following documents for the Final Plat of Meadow Road Estates:

• Final Plat Submittal Application (received December 17, 2014) • Final Plat (received December 17, 2014) • Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions, Conditions, and Easements (received December 17,

2014) • Final Plans and Specifications (received December 17, 2014) • Stormwater Management Study (received December 29, 2014) • Engineer's Opinion of Probable Cost (received December 29, 2014) • Landscape Plan (received December 18, 2014) • Design Requirements for Public Improvements (received December 17, 2014) • Written Description of Land Division (received December 17, 2014) • Swale capacity calculations dated 12-11-14 (received December 17, 2014)

The following are comments from our review: Final Plat (received December 17, 2014) 1. The Meadow Road Estates Plat consists of 13 single-family residential lots and 2 outlots, with an

area of 16.12 acres including right-of-way. Lots will be accessed by the extension of Felton Drive from Glacier’s Woods to Meadow Road. Two short stub streets are also proposed to provide access to unplatted lands immediately north and south of the proposed plat. The plat is being proposed as a cluster subdivision in the Town Transition Zone. The single family lots range in size from 31,532 square feet to 65,353 square feet. Outlots 1 and 2 measure 31,149 square feet and 47,411 square feet, respectively.

Outlot 1 will contain stormwater management facilities. Outlot 2 will contain stormwater management facilities and easements for Public Recreational Trails.

2. The preliminary plat received recommendation for approval from the Town Plan Commission on

November 5, 2014.

3. The preliminary plat received approval from the Town Board on November 17, 2014, subject to the Vierbicher letter of October 29, 2014, providing trail easements as requested by the Town Park Commission, payment of $27,060 (12 new lots x $2,255/lot) in park fees in lieu of land dedication, using building setbacks as required by Dane County, and providing a tree survey that is acceptable to the Town Engineer.

4. In the Transition Zone, open space required for lots 1-5 and 7-13 must be provided in areas other than in street right-of-ways or parks. The open space required for a cluster lot the transition zone is 10,000 square feet plus 32,700 minus the lot size for lots between 20,000 and 32,700 square feet, and 5,000 square feet for lots between 32,700 and 65,000 square feet. No open space is required for lots with areas greater than 65,000 square feet (lot 6). Total open space provided from the two outlots is 78,560 square feet. A total of 66,168 square feet of open space is required with this plat. The applicant is providing more open space than what is required. Six of the twelve lots requiring open space (50%) abut non-right-of-way open space (which is at least 50’ minimum depth), as required by Town ordinances. The proposed development density is 1 lot per 54,014 square feet, which is lower than the maximum of 1 lot per 50,000 square feet and is therefore acceptable.

5. Cluster lots must be at least 80% of the size of existing adjacent lots. Proposed Lot 6 is larger than

the adjacent Lot 14 in Glacier’s Woods. Proposed Lot 7 is 33,242 square feet which is 80% of the adjacent Lot 15 of Glacier’s Woods which has an area of 41,551 square feet, and therefore does meet the requirement.

6. Currently, the property where the proposed plat is located is zoned A-1 (Agriculture District). No rezoning is proposed or required for a single family residential subdivision

7. Two street stubs are proposed to run north and south off of Felton drive to provide a street

connection to unplatted lands to the north and south of the proposed plat. The street stubs are in an acceptable location.

8. The Town trails plan indicates a desired connection between Meadow Road and existing development west of the proposed plat (see Special Trail segment 2 on the Town Bicycle and Pedestrian Route map contained in the 2013 Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan). On November 10, 2014, the Town Park Commission recommended to the Board to obtain a 15’ Public Recreational Trail easement for a grass trail along the northern edge of Outlot 2 and a 15’ Public Recreational Trail easement for a crushed stone trail along the eastern or western lot line of Lot 8 from Felton Drive north to the trail easement in Outlot 2. This is reflected, including the Public Recreational Trail easement along the eastern lot-line of Lot 8, in the Final Plat. On December 29, 2014, Town staff and the Town engineer walked the proposed Public Recreational Trail easements with a representative of the developer. It was determined that the Public Recreational Trail easement through Outlot 2 shall be 25’ wide to avoid the need for removal of a number of mature trees. It was also determined during the onsite meeting that the second easement will be placed on the eastern lot line of Lot 8 (lot line between lots 8 and 9). These changes shall be shown on the final plat and accompanying engineering plans.

9. The following note shall be placed on the face of the final plat:

"Outlot 2 and Lots 8 and 9 are subject to a Public Recreational Trail Easement to the Town of Middleton. The Town of Middleton, as owner of the Public Recreational Trail, shall generally have the right to improve, repair, maintain, and allow public use of the Public Recreational Trail easements as the Town from time to time determines."

December 30, 2014 Page 3

10. Per its motion of conditional approval at its November 17, 2014 meeting, the Town Board determined that a park fee of $2,255 per lot will be required in lieu of parkland dedication. A total fee of $27,060 (12 new lots x $2,255/lot) shall be paid prior to the Town signing the final plat.

11. Evidence that the plat has been forwarded by the developer’s surveyor to the utility companies

to solicit their comments and to request easements necessary to serve the plat shall be provided to the Town Engineer.

12. Each lot will be required to have adequate area and suitable soils for the septic systems required by Dane County.

13. The Applicant will be required to remove or cut back vegetation along Meadow Road to ensure

that the Town’s minimum Clear Zone is provided.

14. The Intersection sight triangle, planned vegetation removal, and intersection grading shall be shown on construction plans.

15. The final subdivision plat shall be fully compliant with Chapter 236, Wis. Stats., Dane County Subdivision Ordinances, and Town of Middleton Subdivision Ordinance.

16. The applicant has submitted a deed, quit claim deed, and title commitment to the Town with the preliminary plat. The Town Attorney will provide direction on what updated title work will be required at this time.

17. Landscape buffers are required across the entire frontage on collectors like Meadow Road.

Because of the location of Outlot 1, the homes south of Felton Drive will be set far enough away from Meadow Road that a landscape buffer will not be required across the frontage of Outlot 1. The 80’ Landscape buffer easement is shown on the face of the plat across the Meadow Road street frontage for Lots 12 and 13 as required.

18. A temporary turnaround easement exists at the present end of Felton Drive in Glacier’s Woods.

The Applicant shall be responsible for recording a vacation or release of the turnaround easement. The Applicant shall also be responsible for modifying the street pavement, ditches, driveways and culverts as necessary to result in a typical through Town roadway.

19. The minimum low openings indicated on the engineering plan for all lots except Lot 13 shall also

be indicated on the Plat. The low openings shall be referenced to United States Geological Survey (USGS) datum and indicated as such on the final plat with a benchmark.

20. Any wells on site that are not going to be used in the future shall be properly abandoned and

documented as required by state and Dane County laws and codes. 21. Public Stormwater drainage easements are shown on portions of lots 1-5 and 10 and 11. A width

of 20 feet is indicated for the easements on the final plat. These widths shall be modified as necessary upon final approval of the stormwater report. The engineering plans indicate that a storm sewer will cross the north edge of Lot 12. A 20' wide public storm sewer easement shall be shown at this location on the final plat and on the construction plans. This width is also subject to final approval of the stormwater report. If stormwater drainage easements for other lots are required based on the final stormwater report, they shall be shown on the final plat.

22. A maintenance agreement with the Town will be required for all stormwater facilities. Stormwater facility easements in Outlots 1 and 2 are shown to be granted to the Meadow Road Estates Homeowner’s Association.

Declaration of Protective Covenants, Restrictions, Conditions and Easements (received December 17, 2014)

1. Section 4.3.d. – The word “Address” should not be underlined.

2. Section 4.6 – If his section is intended to refer to the entire document, it should read:

“The ACC shall have the right to grant a variance to any of the covenants and restrictions in this Declaration, provided that the Town of Middleton also approves the variance.”

3. Section 5.2 – Several lots adjacent to stormwater basins have minimum low opening elevations on the plat. Those lots and elevations shall be noted here as well. Use restrictions within public drainage easements and width of drainage easements should also be included here. The fourth sentence of Section 5.2(a) shall be changed to read: “No owner shall alter the Drainage System without the prior written consent of the Declarant and the Town of Middleton.”

4. Section 5.6 – Town policy now requires the Declarant to wait a minimum of one calendar year between the installation of the binder and surface course of asphalt on public streets. The Town also requires that any driveways that are built prior to placement of the surface course must match the elevation of the binder course. For concrete driveways built before surface asphalt is placed, the concrete must also match the binder asphalt elevation and be built with a control joint 3’ from the asphalt roadway edge. At the time the surface course is placed, the last 3’ of concrete (or a similar length of asphalt pavement for asphalt driveways) shall be removed and replaced to match the surface asphalt elevation at the Declarant or lot owner’s expense. The first three paragraphs of this section shall be revised to incorporate these new Town policies.

5. Section 5.16 – For clarity, this section should note that basketball equipment is not allowed in any Public Street right of way, Public Drainage easement, Outlot or Public Recreational Trail easement. A similar note shall be added to Section 5.18.

6. Section 5.17 – The post office may require grouping of all mailboxes in one location. If this is the case, this section may require modification. In addition, it shall be determined if the planned location will require any modification to roadside grading and/or limit access to one or more lots. Mailbox and post placement are subject to the rules of the US Postal Service and Town of Middleton ordinances.

7. Section 5.19 – The exact location for the well on Lot 13 has not been provided. This section may

need to be modified depending on its location.

8. Section 5.22 – 20% slopes exist on this plat. This document should indicate where those slopes exist and restrict disturbance of such without Town consent.

9. Section 6.3 – Trees and other plantings recommended by the Town should be identified in this

section as the preferred landscaping elements, or reference to said list should be provided here. Plantings discouraged by Town ordinances shall also be listed or referenced.

December 30, 2014 Page 5

10. Sections 6.5 and 6.6 – Owners may not install fences or walls that restrict public access to the two

Public Recreational Trail easements or that encroach upon any public stormwater drainage easement.

11. Section 9.2(b) – This section should include an addition following "Dane County Register of

Deeds" reading "...and approved by the Town of Middleton, but in the case of the Town only with respect to sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 5.16, 5.17, 5.18, 5.19, 5.20, 5.22, 5.23, 6.5, 6.6, 7.4, 8.4, 9.1, 9.2, 9.5, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5 hereof." The list identified here is subject to revisions upon review of a revised document.

13. Article 10 – This article shall include a section clarifying the Town’s interest and authority in locating, improving, and maintaining Public Recreation Trails within any lot and outlot easements, including declarations concerning Trail maintenance. The vision corner easement shall also be to the benefit of the Town of Middleton.

14. Section 10.3 – This section shall also indicate that the Stormwater Management and drainage

easements are in favor of the Town of Middleton. This document shall include maintenance provisions for the stormwater management and drainage facilities. The Town requires an easement over public stormwater facilities so that they can perform maintenance if the owner does not. However, the Town will not be the primary party responsible for routine maintenance. The document shall also detail how the Town may repair stormwater management facilities or drainage improvements and assess the costs to the Association if the Association fails to do so after receiving notice from the Town.

15. Section 10.4 – This section needs to be expanded to detail what will be allowed (stormwater management facilities, Public Recreational Trails, etc.) and prohibited (no buildings, septic systems, etc.) in the outlots, and what the ground cover will be and how it will be maintained (mowed, etc.) and who has access to the outlots, etc.

16. Section 10.5 – The buffer width indicated is inconsistent with the width indicated on the plat. This section shall detail who maintains the plantings in the buffer, what maintenance will consist of and who will be responsible to replace dead plantings, etc.

CMP specifications should be provided to ensure all metal piping is “aluminized” rather than galvanized. ADS piping (if used, see note 42) should be smooth interior wall pipe and is not permitted to be installed within the public right of way. If used, ADS piping may only be installed in outlots and private lots.

45. Storm sewer culvert markers should be consistent with the color and type of installation the Town typically uses. Jerry Wagner shall be contacted for additional information on the specific product to be provided.

46. The “TOWN OF MIDDLETON PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE INSPECTION AND TESTING POLICY” shall be included in the specifications.
