Road: A public way for vehicular traffic; this terra includes highways. 1E79. Road Classification System: Roads are classified based on many factors, including speed and volume of traffic. Road classifications fall into a four-category hierarchy. The classifications, in descending order, are arterial, collector, subcollector and access roads (see diagram below.). The Wisconsin Department of "P"ransportation (VVisD(_Yl') and the St. Croix County l lighwav Department determine arterial' and major and minor collector road . status on their respective systems and the current functional classification ,vill be used. The St. Croix County Planning and Zoning Department., in conjunction with the appropriate municipal jurisdiction, determines subcollector and access roads. Classifications are showrfi ~ on the St. Croix. County Official Functional Classification Road' Map. Residential roads may fall into any ofthese classifications cxcgt arterials. Tlie functional descriptions o each of these classifications follow: (a) Arterials provide for rapid speed and movement of hi-li wlumesof traffic betv~ecn ~ircas. An arterial road should have-no private accesses omit. Its function into conduct traffic between communities and activity centers and to connect communities to majof state and interstate highways. There are two types of arterials. principal arterials and minor arterials. Principal arterials are those highway corridors that have trip length and tray-el density, characteristics of an interstate or interregional nature. Principal arterials. in ge.neral'. serve all urban areas greater than -5,000 population and may include: ,viterstate highways, freeways, expressways.. four-lane divided higliNvaes and two-lane highwavs. Minor arterials are those ht hways_ -vxhich in combination with principal arterials, serve cities. communities and other major traffic generators providing intra- ~I f7i.0-2D St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance I u e Drat ns Subeha w 117.09 pp I; reulonal jnd inter-area travels.

There are two types of collector roads, major collectors and minor collectors. As the principal road w'i.tkin resider*kA or commercial, areas, collectors carte relatively high. traffic ~-oiumes arxl convey traffic frow arterial R roads to lo-,ver=order roads. A collectors function is to prom(Ae'the free fk)w of traffic; as such, tke roads slx Od not have harking or fx_i~'ate residextial access.

Like an access road, a strbcollector Frovides 1rorrtage and access to residextial lots bat also carries some through traffic to access roads. A subcollector-is a G relatively logy speed. low-volume road. Subcollectors inchrde all roads not identified as major or minor arterials, major or minor collectors or. access roads.

Such a satcty threat is particularly great for sigj-4 that are structurally inadeCluate. or that may confuse or distract drivers or pedestrians, or that niay interfere with official, dirocfiomg or w~wnirwg signs. ) Signs can also threaten tltic public welfare by creating aesthetic concerns and detriments to property values. such vesthetic comeems and detrinnents to property values aria paitictiwly great. whco a* w-cumnulAtion of wonhi reswlts in,N iswal clutter, or when one or more signs stk)il vistas or views, or when one or more signs add or increase con-wnercialism in wincomnercial areas. '['he ability to erect signs serving certain tuiictions, such as an a(klress sign of a sign announcin- that the property on which it sits is ii>r sale or for lease, is an inteorid pArtof rwarly every pcolvrty owmeCs ability to reitlize Mie fundamental tl attributes of property mvnership.

Findings & Purpose July 1, 2007 7) With one narrow exception_ only static signs (which change, .if at all, only on rare occasions when they are repainted or covered with a nc«, picture) constitute a customary use ot'signage in the County. -llh,conly non-static sigms that constitute a customan, use of signage in the County are components of on-premise signs for Nvhich frequent changes are necessary for the purpose ol'updating numerical hotrr- and-minute, date, or temperature information. Such sighs are unique because their accuracy depends upon- their ability to frequently change. and because in their customary use such signs are less apt to distract drIN ers or pedestrians to a dan,_,erous degree than other types o[non -static signs. 8) No si,-ns that exceed the size or spacing limitations of this section constitute a citstoinary use of signage in the County. 9) 'Elie County's land-use regulations have included the regulation ofsigns in an effort to foster adequate; information and means of expression_and to promote the economic viability of the community, while protecting the County and its citizens 1roin a proli (eration of signs of a type, size, location and character that would' adversely impact upon the aesthetics of the cornnnrnity or threaten health, safety or the Nwlfarc of the cornrnunity, The appropriate regulation ofthe physical characteristics of signs in the County and other connntunities has had a positive impact on the safetV~ and the appearance ofthe community. 10) The County in the establishment of an Adult Entertainment Overlay District 17.20 identified its intent to protect the health, safety, $ene.ral welfare and rnorAs of the residents of St. Croix County.. to preserve the quality of family life, to preserve the rural and urban characteristics of its neighborhoods in Si-. Croix County and to prevent adverse and deleterious effects contributing to the blight and do,,vngradina of neighborhoods. Beingmindfiil of the effects ofadult entertainment upon minors and the criminal activity and disruption of public ,peace associated with such establishments, ~N hife also giving due consideration to civil rights of persons partaking in such entertainment, it continues to be the intent of the Adult Entertainment Overlay District and this section to regulate the advertisement of such establishments of adult entertainment. PURPOSt a. The purpose of this section is to: Regulate signage in a manner that does not create ail,' impermissible Con tlict -with statutory, administrative; or constitutional standards, or impose an undue financial burden on the County. 2) Provide for fair and consistent enforcement of the sign regulations set fortllllercin under the zoning authority of the County. 3) Improve the visual appearance of the County white providing for effective means of communication and orientation, particularh, in Those settings in which the need for such communication or orientation is (,reater, consistent with constitutional guarantees and the County's Findings and other purposes. ) Maintain, enhance and improve the aesthetic environunent of the County,, MCluding its scenic views and rural character consistent with the St. Croix Cout4 Development N/lanagement Plan and the purpose of each zoning district. by preventing visual clutter that i s har in ful to the appearance of the community. protecting vistas and other scenic icws fron7 spoliation. and preventing or reducing commercialism in rsonconzmercial areas. 17.65-2 St_ Croix County Zoning Ordinance JL#v 1 2007 17- 65 8.
