David & Elizabeth Simpson 3155 Cherry Hill Drive Brookfield, WI 53005 Page 1 of 2    March 29, 2017 City of Muskego Attn: Public Works Committee W182 S8200 Racine Avenue Muskego, WI 53150 RE: Land Division of S76 W12677 McShane Drive – Water Improvement Requirements Dear Public Works Committee Members, I am writing to request a modified water improvement scope for a proposed land division at S76 W12677 McShane Drive. Because there is an existing quality tree line along the edge of the roadway that would have to be completely removed in order to install a full water main along Nursery Court I am requesting that an alternative way of providing water to the newly created lots be considered. 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. This is in accordance with the City’s strategic goals of preserving the City’s existing natural character when planning developments whenever possible. I understand that the Committee would like the newly created lots to be served by public water so I am offering the following solution that would both serve all of the new lots with water and preserve the natural character of this area. The attached concept land division shows the most feasible land division option. I am proposing that instead of destroying the trees along Nursery Court, individual laterals be allowed to serve all four newly created lots from McShane Drive through easements dedicated to the lots that they serve. Each lateral would be publicly maintained within the right-of-way as is standard with all laterals in the City. Once the laterals reach private property easements they would be owned and maintained by the property owner. Long water laterals have been used throughout the City without issue in the past. I would install David & Elizabeth Simpson 3155 Cherry Hill Drive Brookfield, WI 53005 Page 2 of 2    all laterals in the easements up to the lot line for each property utilizing a trenchless technology available for installing HDPE laterals that would prevent any tree loss. This would be done in advance of selling the land so that water laterals would be readily available for each owner to connect to when building their homes. I look forward to discussing this issue with the Committee and am available to answer any questions you or City staff may have in advance. I believe this is the most feasible approach that balances the needs of the land owners and the desires of the City to serve newly created lots with public water. Thank you, David Simpson   Page 1 of 1 CITY OF MUSKEGO Staff Report to Public Works Committee To: Public Works Committee From: Michael N. Paulos, P.E., 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: April 12, 2017 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 municipal water main to be installed on Nursery Court as part of a potential land division. However, Mr. Simpson is proposing four individual laterals to serve four newly created lots to offer municipal water. The four laterals would be constructed in advance of selling the lots and would be installed in an easement up to the individual lot line. 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 a municipal water main extension in Nursery Court for any land division of MSKC2208-997-001 as the Public Works Committee passed on August 11, 2016 for the same parcel.
