Staff Report to Public Works Committee
To: Public Works Committee
From: David Simpson, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject: Discuss on street parking issue at and near the intersection of Fennimore
Lane and Hale Park Drive
Date: September 9, 2014
Alderman Wolfe has received several complaints regarding the appearance of the
areas of parking directly adjacent to the roadways in front of the two-family homes
near Fennimore Lane and Hale Park Drive. The condition of the roadside areas has
been affected by the constant on street parking pushing further and further off the
edge of pavement. Gravel has been placed in certain areas by a party other than the
City to accommodate street parking. The pictures below show the problem area.
Page 2 of 2
An onsite meeting was held to discuss options such as restricting parking or asking
the owners to provide additional off street parking options. We investigated the
potential for additional off street options and found that most properties are already
at their maximum allowable impervious surfaces, so that option is not viable. By
adding additional no parking areas the problem will most likely be pushed to areas
further from this area or infringe upon areas that don’t need parking restrictions.
We also discussed the possibility of adding on street parking at the cost of the
adjacent homeowners. This would me a reconstruction that would add storm sewer
and curb and gutter that would allow for painted parking spaces completely off the
street. This alternative would cost approximately $15,000-20,000 per property for
construction. If this alternative was chosen, the project would need to be budgeted
as a capital improvement in a future year even if 100% of the project costs would be
assessed.
Recommendation for Action by Committee:
Discuss issue further and make a recommendation for staff to proceed with.

Staff Report to Public Works Committee
To: Public Works Committee
From: David Simpson, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject: Discuss creation of a City “Adopt a Roadway” program
Date: September 9, 2014
The City has received requests from two business owners to consider creation of an
“Adopt a Roadway” program similar to the program sponsored by Waukesha
County.
A program of this type would allow local groups or individuals the opportunity to
clean sections of City right of way that might otherwise need to be cleaned by City
staff during mowing operations or not be cleaned at all. The County program
provides a sign, garbage bags and safety vests to participants, but we could tailor
the program however the Committee sees fit. The volunteers would clean their
section of roadway 2-3 times and would place the garbage bags at locations that
would allow for City staff pick up. The attached map shows staff’s vision of what
sections of roadway would be eligible for adoption with special requests required to
go through Committee before approval.
If this is a program that the Committee is interested in the City undertaking I would
put a program guide and supplemental information together and come to a future
meeting for approval.
Recommendation for Action by Committee:
Discuss the potential program and direct staff how to proceed.

CITY OF MUSKEGO
Staff Report to Public Works Committee
To: Public Works Committee
From: David Simpson, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject: Discuss grant opportunity for a wetland restoration project on Big
Muskego Lake
Date: September 10, 2014
The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) has made grants available
for storm water green infrastructure in the hopes of reducing storm water runoff
that will in turn reduce the potential for clear water entering the sanitary system.
Staff has examined two of these grant programs that we feel we may have a project
in mind that will meet the criteria. The first program is call the Storm Water Best
Management Practices program and we have been allocated $58,397.00 to be able to
apply for an applicable project. The second program is the Green Solutions for
Separate Infrastructures & Sewers program and we have been allocated $61,443.00
to be able to apply for an applicable project. Staff has examined applicable project
criteria that cross into both programs and feel that we have a possible project that
will meet program criteria.
There is a potential project located on public lands that are now owned by the State
of Wisconsin (see attached location maps) that would restore wetlands and native
planting areas. This project would create storm water storage as well as expand the
environmental corridor that is known as the Big Muskego Wildlife area. If we are
eligible to utilize the grants for this project we would not expend any City funds
other than those received from the grants. Instead, the WDNR and Ducks Unlimited
would apply for additional funding and utilize their own funds to complete the rest
of the project.
The project design is very preliminary (see attached exhibit and project description)
but the costs for the project will be approximately $310,000 of which these grants
would pay for $119,840.00.
Recommendation for Action by Committee:
Direct staff to proceed with an application and funding agreement and if accepted
bring a funding agreement to the Common Council for final approvals.

Big Muskego Preliminary Restoration Plan
Background: WDNR recently purchased the Reiger and Lang parcels to be added to the Big
Muskego Wildlife Area. Both parcels have excellent wetland restoration potential. WDNR and
Ducks Unlimited have submitted a NAWCA grant to fund the restoration project, but additional
sources of funding will need to be identified to maximize restoration potential. Other sources of
funding include the State Migratory Bird Stamp, Big Muskego and Bass Bay Lake Protection
Association, Wind Lake Management District, MMSD, and other private opportunities. In
addition to the restoration, the Reiger parcel contains a critical section of carp exclusion
infrastructure to maintain and enhance water quality on Big Muskego Lake.
This project restores and enhances acres through tile breaks, ditch plugs, pump removal or
repurpose, and berms. Adjacent uplands will be planted to native prairie to maximize breeding
potential for waterfowl and other migratory birds. This habitat is located adjacent to the 2,202
acre Big Muskego Lake providing the perfect complement and brood rearing habitat. In
addition, two thousand seven hundred (2,700) feet of a failing berm will be built up to NRCS
Technical Standards to prevent carp from entering Big Muskego during high water events.
Big Muskego Lake has breeding Bald Eagle, Osprey, and one of the largest Forester Tern
colonies in the SE. The proposed work will expand and compliment the vast open space near a
major metropolitan area. Thousands of waterfowl use Big Muskego Lake during spring and fall
migration, and the area has become a birding hot spot to adding to the existing traditional user
groups. This work not only restores and enhances priority wetland habitats, but does so in an
area with maximum public exposure and benefit. The Wisconsin Wildlife Action Plan and Land
Legacy report both recognize Big Muskego as a priority conservation area.
Restoration: Restoration will be completed in phases to allow for adequate time to survey,
engineer, permit, and construct the necessary components. Phase I will restore the Lang
portion (20 ac. wetland, 30 ac. upland) of the plan. Phase II will restore the Reiger portion (57
ac. wetland and 10 ac. upland). Phase III will complete the carp exclusion berm enhancing
2,202 acres of wetland. Phase III will likely be completed along with Phase II, but could be
constructed earlier if funding is available.
Cost Estimate: Without survey information cost estimate are very rough at this point. Phase I
is estimated to cost $65,000. Phase II is estimated to cost $195,000. Phase III is estimated to
cost $50,000.
Timeline: While the goal would be to construct all phase by the end of 2015, the project is
deliberately broken into phases to account for possible delays in Phase II and III. Phase I will
be complete by the end of 2015, with Phase II and III more likely to be completed by the end of
2016.
