ORDINANCE #1362
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE 2020 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
OF THE CITY OF MUSKEGO
THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MUSKEGO, WISCONSIN, DO ORDAIN
AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: The Common Council of the City of Muskego does hereby amend the
2020 Comprehensive Plan to reflect the following changes:
Chapter 8 - Page 218 – Strike the following:
Future Lake Access Note (Shown as Note #5a - #5b on 2020 Land Use Map)
Bringing back the lake to downtown Muskego was a large topic during the formulation of this
Plan. At this point of time, there is no direct access or views to Little Muskego Lake from the
downtown and Janesville Road. This Plan looks to promote increased lake access and view
sheds to the lake in two different areas.
The first area is located along Lannon Drive, just north of Janesville Road (5a on the map).
Connecting lake access to a future development in the former Parkland Mall property is
encouraged in this area. The second opportunity is on the east side of the Little Muskego Lake
dam along Janesville Court on the southern end of the lake off of Janesville Road (5b on the
map). A larger property exists to the east of the dam that has the possibility to be incorporated
with other properties in this area to create a large lake access and view shed along the heavily
traveled Janesville Road.
Recommendations of this DDA include that future decision making bodies be sensitive to how
these lake accesses are developed in order to assure that the access points work well with the
surrounding land uses. Parcels should be looked to be purchased by the community as funds
become available, development takes place, and/or properties go up for sale.
Future lake accesses and view sheds will hopefully bring the lake back into the community and
create new opportunities for residents and visitors to enjoy an original amenity that Muskego
has for so long been based upon.
