Page 1 of 1 CITY OF MUSKEGO Staff Report to Public Works Committee To: Public Works Committee From: Michael N. Paulos, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer Subject: Review Request for Review of Water Main to be Required as Part of a Potential Land Division of MSKC2208-997-001 Date: November 15, 2016 The attached was received from David Simpson in reference to a potential land division on the east side of Nursery Court. Mr. Simpson is asking that the Committee not require water main to be installed on Nursery Court as part of a potential land division. Mr. Simpson makes reference to the loss of a tree line for the water main installation, costs, and that the original developer for Nursery Subdivision was not required to install water main. Water main is available along McShane Drive. The same request was made at the August 11, 2016 Public Works Committee meeting by the Neumann Companies. Staff recommended and the motion was passed that public improvements be required of a potential land division of MSKC2208-997-001. Recommendation for Action by Committee: Require water main extension be required for any land division of MSKC2208-997- 001 as the Public Works Committee passed on August 11, 2016 for the same parcel. David & Elizabeth Simpson 3155 Cherry Hill Drive Brookfield, WI 53005 Page 1 of 2    November 4, 2016 City of Muskego Attn: Public Works Committee W182 S8200 Racine Avenue Muskego, WI 53150 RE: Land Division of S76 W12677 McShane Drive - Water Main Requirements Dear Public Works Committee Members, At a previous Public Works Committee meeting a request was made by a developer to consider the scope of water main improvements for a potential land division of S76 W12677 McShane Drive. At that meeting the Committee was only able to consider the facts provided by the Developer to them at that time, and the decision was made to require water main improvements on Nursery Court. Since that meeting I have acquired this property and am beginning the process of looking into a potential land division. I am writing to request a reconsideration of the previous decision based on new information and ask that no water main improvements be required to be installed on Nursery Court. The following are factors that I would like the Committee to consider when determining the required water main improvements: 1. There is an existing quality tree line along the edge of the roadway that would have to be completely removed in order to install the water main. The existing residents on the west side of Nursery Court most certainly enjoy the nice screening that these trees provide and would not be pleased if they had to be removed. The pictures below show the existing trees looking north from McShane and looking south from the cul-de-sac. I believe development should occur in a fashion that allows the least amount of disruption to the existing environment and neighborhoods. If a land division occurs without installing water main the only disruption to this tree line would be for small driveway openings. David & Elizabeth Simpson 3155 Cherry Hill Drive Brookfield, WI 53005 Page 2 of 2    2. The attached concept land division shows the most feasible land division option. In this scenario, it would be possible to keep the existing home that is currently served by an active safe well and the corner lot could be served by the existing water main in McShane Drive. In this scenario, it would mean that the entire water main would only be serving two new lots. The attached cost estimate shows that the estimated cost to install water main for this project would be $96,500. This cost does not include engineering, permitting, or City costs, which could easily cost upwards of $25,000. This would leave the total benefit to each potential lot over $60,000/lot. This is an extremely high cost that would preclude this potential development from occurring. 3. The original Developer of the Nursery Subdivision was not required to install water main and that was a larger development with a total of 6 lots. Requiring water main at this time of this development would not be equitable. 4. This development is feasible if the water main improvements are not required. If this development does occur, the existing one sided roadway will become a traditional dual loaded roadway. This is important to the City because the current one sided roadway is very expensive to maintain compared to a traditional roadway with dual sided tax base. The additional value to the City’s levy if a four lot land division occurs and new homes are constructed (assuming a home similar to Belle Chasse at $325K in improvement value and a lot value of $75K) could easily be an additional $1,200,000, which equates to an annual tax bill collection of over $20,000. This value could be even higher if the exiting home’s value is improved by remodeling or replacement. I look forward to discussing this issue with the Committee and am available to answer any questions you or staff may have in advance. Thank you, David Simpson
