Badertscher Preserve developments
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Emerald Ash Borer update and management recommendations
Proposed trails and trail uses at Badertscher Preserve and Ridges Site
Proposed removal of dam structure on Jewel Creek
Michelle Hase, DNR Representative, gave 3 options for the dam. The City could apply to the
DNR to take ownership of the dam, a group of residents can form an association, and if they
have the financial means to take care of the dam, can apply for ownership, or no one can take
ownership and the DNR will declare it abandoned and will remove it. Ms. Hase explained
seepage in dams may cause concrete failures underneath the surface. Sinkholes could form;
which will become a liability issue. An engineer should be hired to determine if it is safe.
Ben Heussner, DNR Representative, explained in this situation there is more benefit to the fish
habitat if the dam were removed.
Ron Ford expressed emotional connection of the dam to generations of Musekgo residents.
Public access is used for recreation like swimming and fishing. The dam provides great fish
habitat. Removing the dam will remove an opportunity for children to connect with nature.
*William Miller made a motion to remove or abandon the dam. Julie Holubowicz
seconded.
Motion Failed 3 in favor 4 opposed.
*Barb Schroeder made a motion to take ownership of the dam. Howard Schneider
seconded.
Motion Passed 4 in favor 3 opposed.
NEW BUSINESS
Discuss the property modified Preliminary Plat of Wildflower Farms subdivision
Mr. Zagar explained the subdivision preliminary plat for Wildflower Farms, originally approved
in October 2007, dedicated land adjacent to city conservation land. The area is alos within the
Big Muskego Lake State Wildlife Area project boundary. A redelineation of the wetland areas
was recently required and is now found to be affecting the layout of the development and two
lots were lost.
Jim Doering, developer, was present and explained they have reconfigured the lots and picked
up the lost lots in other areas, but will have an impact on the outlot to be dedicated to the city.
Mr. Doering stated the goal is to maintain 51 lots. Council approval may be needed to allow
smaller lots.
Mr. Zagar added that with this proposal there are considerations of creating a park in this area
and trails. Mr. Zagar added he would like to keep what was originally proposed, however, if
there is some other benefit such as city park land, staff would recommend considering the
reconfiguration of the new lots. Mr. Zagar questioned if the lots not affected by the wetland
delineation could be reconfigured/shrunken to keep 51 lots without moving into the dedicated
conservancy land.
Len Pilak made a motion to recommend approval of a redesign/revision for smaller
lots and retain the outlot as originally approved on the preliminary plat. William
Miller seconded.
Motion Passed 6 in favor 1 opposed.
Barb Schroeder made a motion to recommend to Council that the Conservation
Commission is receptive to a smaller dedication size if there are other benefits to the
city. William Miller seconded.
Motion Passed 7 in favor.
Ald. Wolfe voted no.
Discuss wetland restoration project on Big Muskego Lake State Wildlife Area
Mr. Zagar noted that MMSD stormwater funds may be applied to this project.

Memo
To: Conservation Commission
From: Tom Zagar
CC: Jeff Muenkel, Dave Simpson, Tammy Dunn
Date: February 19, 2015
RE: Background information for March 3 meeting and conservation updates
Background information for conservation issues on meeting agenda:
1. Approval of access easement on a portion of the Engel Conservation Area
Property.
A property exists west of the strip of Engel Conservation Area land that connects to
Woods Road. A potential buyer of this property has approached the City to request
driveway access from the adjacent road end of Timberbrook Drive in Settlement
Subdivision to connect to the area on the property which he intends to build a house.
The paved road end already extends into this strip of land and granting of this easement
should not impede the use of this land strip for pedestrian trail access to Woods Road.
Staff recommends granting of this easement.
2. Park Arthur Volunteer Tree Planting Project
The continuation of landscaping at Park Arthur will include approximately 25 trees and
shrubs. While areas around the drive and parking lots were planted last year with 30
trees, the land eastward around the pavilion and leading to the baseball fields lacks trees.
Staff will carefully plan the placement of trees so that they provide shade to park patrons
while not shading the ball fields. We will again be looking to have volunteers plant the
trees this year. This community involvement will foster a sense of stewardship toward
the park and fulfil a requirement of Muskego’s Tree City USA designation.
3. Potential Closure of Little Muskego Lake Hillview Drive Boat Launch in 2015.
Late last year the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources discovered an invasive
plant (technically an alga) called Starry Stonewort growing in an area immediately east of
the Hillview Drive boat launch. This is the first discovery of this species in the state of
Wisconsin. It has been quite problematic in lakes in other states where it has
established. In many cases it is more aggressive than Eurasian watermilfoil – currently
our biggest invasive plant nemesis. Lake District personnel and City staff have been
working with the DNR on plans to contain, control, and hopefully eradicate the Starry
Stonewort. While more monitoring will be done in 2015 it is possibly only isolated to this
particular area of the lake at this time. Reducing boat traffic in this area is an important
strategy in reducing the spread of the plant and closure of this launch may be needed to
help facilitate this. Muskego’s municipal code allows for the closure of parks or portions
Community Development Department
thereof at the discretion of the Director. No action is required by the Parks Board or
Conservation Commission. The City would only close this launch if it is requested by the
DNR.

CITY OF MUSKEGO
Staff Report to Parks & Rec Board/Conservation Commission
March 3, 2015 Meeting
To: Parks & Recreation Board / Conservation Commission
From: Jeff Muenkel AICP
Subject: Astor Hills Estates Neighborhood Park Planning
Date: February 24, 2015
Background Information:
At our January meeting the firm Graef was approved to start the conceptual planning for the new
neighborhood park that may be dedicated to the city as part of the Astor Hills Estates Subdivision
platting that should be completed later this spring. The Board sought direction from Graef stating
that we would like to see a large portion of open turf area for soccer/baseball practicing, parking,
playgrounds (tot lot and 5-12), a pavilion, and any other amenities that may work (trails,
conservation areas, etc.).
Please find enclosed two (2) concepts from Graef based on this input. The Boards will notice that
the Concepts are essentially finding the same recreation needs but Concept #2 explores the
option of creating a larger contiguous open turf area by suggesting that the residential parcel to
the west may become useful. Both concepts include the initial amenities that we’ve discussed in
the past along with a few more amenities such as pathways (asphalt and mowed) and a natural
sledding hill. The pathways would connect to the Durham Drive roadway path system and could
also connect south thru conservation areas to the DNR and City owned conservation lands to the
south and west. Opportunity for prairie restoration abutting the DNR lands to the south can also
occur. Graef displays the typical sizes of soccer, football, and baseball fields on the concepts so
the Board can adequately see that the proposed turf areas area sufficient in size for these fields
should the city ever desire to make a field more formal.
The reason that the residential parcel to the west become an option is that owner expressed
interest that the back half wasn’t required should the city desire this for more park space. As the
Board can see there is ample turf area without the addition at this time. However, this extra
acreage may prove useful in the future should the needs of the SE quadrant of the city dictate
more turf/field space.
Recommendation for Action: Approve Concept #1 without the need for the parcel to the west.
If recreation needs necessitate, the option to possibly purchase the back half of the residential
parcel to the west may be an option in the future.
Upon approval, Graef will begin preliminary engineering and develop more concrete plans and
start to determine costs for the park. Staff would hope to have these costs in time for the next
meeting in April where the Conservation Commission and Parks and Recreation Board can
negotiate any initial development (grading?) with the developer of Aster Hills in relation to the
Park and Conservation Dedication fees that are normally assessed.
Any other desires by the Board for a concept for the park can be discussed and or recommended
at this time.

Staff Report to Parks and Recreation Board
To: Parks and Recreation Board
From: David Simpson, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject: Director of Public Works Report
Date: February 24, 2015
I have included general information and project specific updates related to Parks
maintenance for your use. Should any questions arise please don’t hesitate to
contact me directly.
General Maintenance
The DPW has been able to clear snow from the vast majority of trails and
sidewalks in the City thus far this winter including the main gravel trails.
Discussion was had at the Committee of the Whole and the decision was
made to continue to move ahead with clearing all trails at this time.
Snow clearing of all parking lots and park access drives has been going
smoothly.
Facilities
Horn Park Building- Demolition of the oldest portion of this building is
planned for this spring. DPW crews will complete demolition and
contractors will be hired to complete the plumbing, electrical, and new wall
construction.
The Committee of the Whole had initial discussion regarding the possibility
of expanding the Department of Public Works garage and decommissioning
the Parks Headquarters building and the Boxhorn Warehouse. Further
discussion will be had at the March 10th Committee of the Whole.
A complete assessment of all parks buildings is planned for this spring by
DPW staff. We expect that we will be completing some reroof ing and
painting/staining projects.
2015 Park Improvements
Lions Park- A pickleball court will be added to Lions Park during this
construction season. This was bid with the 2015 road program that is
expected to be awarded to Stark Asphalt at the March 10th Common Council
meeting. A detailed schedule is not yet known for this improvement.
Denoon Park- All roadways, parking lots, and the basketball court will be
resurfaced in conjunction with the 2015 road program. Additionally, two
areas of pavement are being added to the narrow roadway that leads to the
boat launch to allow an area for vehicles to pass. DPW will be completing all
turf restoration as part of this project. A detailed schedule is not yet known
for this improvement.
Page 2 of 2
Park Arthur- A paved pathway leading from the north parking lot to the
three northern baseball fields and back to the pavilion will be installed in
conjunction with the 2015 road program. Concrete pads will be added to the
dugouts of the large field as a separately quoted project. A detailed schedule
is not yet known for these improvements.
Memo
To: Conservation Commission
From: Tom Zagar
CC: Jeff Muenkel, Dave Simpson, Tammy Dunn
Date: February 19, 2015
RE: Conservation Coordinator Report
The following will be reported under miscellaneous business at the end of the joint Parks and
Conservation meeting:
Hiring of a Conservation Technician
The Conservation division of the Community Development Department has had a half -
time position of Conservation Technician assisting the Conservation Coordinator/City
Forester since 2002. Recently Jessica Quinlan, who admirably filled this position for over
two years, left to take full time employment elsewhere. We are in the process of
evaluating applicants to refill the position.
Land Dedication from Belle Chasse Subdivision
The plat of Belle Chasse Subdivision Addition 2 was recently recorded and dedicates
approximately 5.5 acres of land to the City. This parcel is adjacent to and will be
annexed to Bluhm Farm Park. It contains about two acres of oak woodland while the
remainder is sedge meadow and shrub wetlands. This land dedication augments one of
the larger conservancy areas and the largest oak woodland owned by Muskego.
In the subdivision approval the City had also allowed the location of a stormwater
retention pond on Bluhm Park land. In turn, the subdivision developer agreed to
establish a boardwalk in the park where the recreation trail had frequently inundated in
times of wet weather. A walking trail and interpretive signage will also be established
around the pond. Incidentally the developer also agreed to raise the elevation of the
rugby field and provide a recreation trail along McShane Drive. The Conservation
Coordinator is looking to have a contractor control invasive shrubs in the annexed
conservancy area so that it will be ready for a prescribed burn this spring. The dedicated
area and park improvements are depicted on the accompanying map.

Staff Memo to Parks and Recreation Board
To: Parks and Recreation Board
From: Tammy Dunn, Recreation Manager
Date: February 26, 2015
To bring you up to speed on a few items happening within the departm ent:
1) Interviews for the Recreation Specialist position have been going on for 3 weeks.
Second interviews were held and the selected applicant will be given an offer on
March 2nd. I am hoping to have this new staff person starting by March 23.
2) I am in the process of beginning to work on the summer program guide. We
should be status quo as far as our regular summer programs, with the ability to
add some new program areas with the new Rec. Specialist being able to take on
some new activities.
3) Baseball game schedules are turned in and I am beginning the process of
entering them into the baseball software program created last year. There has
been growth in the girls softball program so I anticipate there being more games
played in Muskego this year.
4) The MNSD summer school principals approached us about our All-Day
Playground Program being a pick-up and drop-off location for children in our
program who would like to attend summer school. We will be providing that
option to the children at the Old Town Hall playground site.
