Staff Report to Common Council Standing Committee
Public Works
To: Public Works Committee
From: Michael N. Paulos, P.E., City Engineer
Subject: Conditional Approval of Kraft Property Easements
Date: June 19, 2017
Background Information:
Mr. Ben Kraft of S76 W18098 Janesville Road is requesting termination of a portion of a
25-foot utility easement and 25-foot sanitary sewer easement and adding a 20-foot
replacement sanitary lateral easement due to the construction of a proposed single family
house by Mr. Kraft. The easement is necessary to serve the Lindhorst single family
house next door. The City would maintain the sanitary sewer lateral in the proposed 20-
foot replacement sanitary sewer easement, approximately 184 lineal feet of sanitary
sewer lateral.
In addition, Mr. Kraft is proposing using the dam access parcel for a common driveway
to serve both the dam and his future residence. At a certain point, the Kraft driveway
would separate from the dam driveway to his residence (please see the attached drawing).
Mr. Kraft is requesting that the City pave and maintain the driveway to a point to be
determined. Mr. Kraft is also requesting that they are given the option to choose an
alternate surface type (possibly open cell pavers) to give the dam access driveway a more
lawn type appearance.
Recommendation for Action by Committee:
Conditional Approval of the termination of a portion of a 25-foot utility easement and 25-
foot sanitary sewer easement. Conditional Approval of a 20-foot replacement sanitary
sewer lateral easement and City’s continued maintenance of the proposed sanitary sewer
lateral to a cleanout located approximately 30-feet from the Lindhorst house.
Conditional Approval of using the dam access parcel for a common driveway to serve
both the dam and the Kraft’s future residence to a point to be determined. Conditional
Approval for the City to pave the common driveway to a point to be determined. An
ingress/egress easement agreement shall be prepared and approved as part of this
Conditional Approval. Conditional Approval that the City will maintain the common
driveway and access drive to the dam area. However, the City will not be responsible for
snow removal in the common driveway area. In addition, all costs associated with
improving the dam access driveway with materials other than gravel (the existing
material) shall be at the cost of the Krafts. Any proposed common driveway access and
dam access materials and design shall require Public Works Committee approval.

Dear Public Works Committee,
We are the owners of the property at S76 W18098 Janesville Rd. (Tax Key No. MSKC 2195.996.004). As you
may know, it is our intent to construct a single-family home on the property as our residence.
In order to improve and develop the property, we are requesting two items:
1) That a portion of the Sanitary Sewer Easement DOC no. 1301786 be amended as depicted by the
attached Exhibit A and Exhibit B. Essentially, we are asking that we replace the current Sewer Lateral that
runs from the Sewer Main to a cleanout that then serves the Lindhorst Property, and shorten the Sewer
Main that will serve the Lindhorst and Kraft homes.
This will increase the building envelope and allow space for us to complete our project, and still allow the
City access for maintenance of the existing Main and new Lateral. The City has a maintenance agreement
on the Main and Lateral and that should remain intact. The construction of this new Lateral will be
performed at our expense, and all work will be done completely on our property. The neighboring
property (Lindhorst) will not be affected. The City will benefit from having some new equipment (this was
originally installed in 1985), and there will be no change in the City’s maintenance agreement.
2) Regarding the Permanent Dam Access Easement DOC No. 3830179 and 3842973: Currently this
easement area has an unsightly recycled asphalt and gravel road that was installed by the City to assist in
the maintenance of the dam. In August of last year, we proposed that we topsoil and seed the area to
make it more “yard like” and grant the city inspection access to the dam via our new driveway.
After speaking with Staff, another arrangement surfaced as follows: that the City and the Kraft’s share a
driveway located on the Dam Access Easement. The City would pave the driveway to a point to be
determined (see Exhibit C); the City would maintain that portion of the driveway; the Kraft’s would install
and maintain a private driveway to the dwelling; the Kraft’s, at our option, would either leave the
remaining gravel drive to the Dam or, at our expense, install a grass/concrete block combination in order
to both support the City’s vehicles and create a yard-like appearance.
This solution allows the City direct access to the Dam, and will help create a residential appearance that
we desire.
We request that these two items be placed for consideration on the June 19th Public Works Committee Meeting.
Sincerely,
Ben and Nicole Kraft

Conditional Approvals are recommended as the City has not received written agreements
between the Kraft’s and Lindhorst’s which impact all of the easement agreements stated
above.
