Obtaining Access From Private Property to a Town Road

It is the policy of the Town of Pleasant Springs to consider the following factors in deciding to allow an access to a town road for any residential, commercial, agricultural or manufacturing property within the town.

  1. The maximum number of accesses allowed to serve a residential, commercial or manufacturing property shall be two (2), provided that when two (2) accesses are used, there is also at least two hundred (200) feet of total road frontage on the road from which the accesses serve the parcel.
  2. There shall be one residence, commercial, or manufacturing access allowed for the first acre of the served property, and one additional residence, commercial or manufacturing access will be considered if the property exceeds one (1) acre in size.
  3. Field access roads are counted as an access and will be considered by the Town Board to determine the appropriate number and location to serve the property and maintain safety.
  4. For corner parcels, or parcels abutting more than one road, access (es) shall be allowed from only one of the roads abutting the parcel.
  5. Where two accesses serve a parcel, or a second access is considered, the centerlines of the accesses shall be at least two hundred (200) feet apart and satisfy the side setback requirements of the zoning classification of the subject property.
  6. All accesses serving any property must be at least two hundred (200) feet from the intersection of any town/town or town/county roads.
  7. Aesthetic reasons will not be considered as a factor in placement or approval of an additional property access.
  8. All agricultural access roads, all residence accesses, all commercial and all manufacturing access roads require Access Permits and must be approved by the Town Board through the normal permitting process.
  9. Nothing can be placed in the road right-of-way except legally constructed mailboxes.
  10. All dimensions and construction of accesses will adhere to the standards set by Dane County and the Town of Pleasant Springs.
  11. The Town Board may consider exceptions to the provisions above, where deemed necessary and feasible for reasonable and adequate service to the property, and safety and utility of the road. Accesses may be approved for commercial, agricultural, residential, manufacturing and other use areas where deemed appropriate by the Board.
