Wis. Admin. Code Rustic Roads Board § Trans-RR 1.04 - Qualifications for rustic road designation
(1) A rustic road
has outstanding natural features along its borders such as rugged natural
terrain, native wildlife and native vegetation, or includes open areas with
rustic or agricultural vistas which, singly or in combination, set this road
apart from other roads as being something unique and distinct.
(2) A rustic road is a low-volume local use
public road which is usable year-round.
(3) A rustic road functions as a local access
road, i.e., one which serves the adjacent property owners and those wishing to
travel by auto, bicycle or hiking, for purposes of enjoying its rustic
features. This would generally preclude designating as a rustic road any road
serving as a collector or arterial.
(4) A rustic road is one not scheduled or
anticipated for major improvement which would change its rustic
characteristics.
(5) A rustic road
preferably has no high density development along it, but the development as
exists at the time the road is designated shall be compatible with the
surroundings and shall not detract from the rustic, natural, unspoiled
character and visual impact of the road area.
(6) A rustic road preferably has a minimum
length of 2 miles and, where feasible, provides a completed closure or loop or
connects to major highways at both ends of the route.
(7) The land adjacent to the rustic road
preferably is zoned compatible with the maintenance or preservation of its
rustic character and low density development.
