RESOLUTION TO ACCEPT THE ACQUISITION OF TAX KEY NO. MSKC 2196.952 FROM
WAUKESHA COUNTY (FORMER BP GAS STATION - S75 W17237 JANESVILLE ROAD)
WHEREAS, Waukesha County has taken acquisition of various parcels along the Janesville Road in the past
two years due to needing extra lands to facilitate the reconstruction of the roadway from 2012-13, and
WHEREAS, Waukesha County now owns the former BP Gas Station parcel on the southwest corner of
Lannon Drive and Janesville Road (S75 W17237 Janesville Road), and
WHEREAS, Waukesha County usually sells remnant parcels at fair market values once the parcel is no
longer needed during the reconstruction process, and
WHEREAS, The former BP parcel had past issues with contamination but now is listed as a closed case by
the WDNR and has development potential, and
WHEREAS, Due to the uniqueness of the parcel Waukesha County may let the City of Muskego have
ownership of the parcel for future redevelopment and/or incorporation of the downtown streetscaping.
WHEREAS, The Community Development Authority recommended this purchase and subsequent
redevelopment and sale of this parcel at their October 16, 2012 meeting.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED That the Common Council recommends that the Waukesha County
Board sell the former BP parcel to the City of Muskego for a sum of one dollar.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That it is the City of Muskego’s intent to purchase the parcel from Waukesha
County as a bona fide purchase parcel (BFPP) which will allow the submittal of a Ready for Reuse grant from
the WDNR that will cover 78% of the cleanup costs. All other costs to clean up the parcel will be looked to
be recouped on the future sale of the property.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That it is the City of Muskego’s intent to clean up the property with monies
from the Community Development Authority (CDA) and then list the property for sale via a Request For
Proposal process via the CDA.

guard the city’s position during this project.
