Public Works Committee - MINUTES - 7/23/1987PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE - CITY OF MUSKEG0
MINUTES OF MEETING HELD JULY 23, 1987
The meeting was called to order at 7:OO P.M. by Chairman Dumke.
Also present were Committee Members Taube and Sanders, Mayor
Salentine, Supt. Bertram, Ald. Hilt and those per the attached
list.
Ald. Dumke read the original Muskego Parkland Homeowner's
Association Deed Restrictions in regard to the maintenance of
open spaces which include drainage ditches. The meeting was
opened to a question and answer session. Various means of
maintaining ditches were discussed. Natural drainage of storm
water was also explained. Ald. Taube stated that the problem is
basically isolated to several areas where the thick growth of
cattails have choked up the ditches and prevented the flow of
storm water. He gave the people the choice of doing it
themselves as an organization or having the City do it for a cost
to the Parkland property owners. From Hedgewood to settling pond
was one area defined. The amount of work done will have to be
determined so a cost estimate can be made. Extent of water
drainage was discussed and the source of storm water was also
questioned including subdivisions to the north of Parkland
Subdivision. Some of the ditches contain lumber and debris from
the original construction of the Subdivision. The legality of
holding individuals responsible to terms of deed restrictions was
questioned and several individuals felt it was the city's
responsibility to solve the drainage problems. The Committee
determined that further action would be deferred to enable the
Committee to define the problem areas and obtain cost
estimates.
which these figures will be available.
The Committee reviewed SEWRPC correspondence of June 19, 1987,
which was a follow-up to their original report on the South
Denoon drainage study. The Lake Denoon Association is interested
in having SEWRPC's recommendations implemented to establish
settling ponds on the east end of the lake. The Fox River
Watershed Funding was discussed as a financing tool. One of the
requirements in the 1986 funding for the Fox River Watershed was
a permanent easement on property which received cost sharing.
The Lake Denoon Association will be meeting with the Soil
Conservation Service to further discuss soil erosion and storm
water run-off.
The road plans for Adrian Drive were reviewed and met with
Commit tee approval.
The Committee reviewed correspondence from the City Engineers
dated July 16, 1987, in regard to the road plans and drainage
plans for Meadow Green Subdivision. Item #3 related to the east
road ditch along Lannon Drive and the north road ditch along
Woods Road. The Committee determined that the engineer for

Meadow Green Subdivision must prepare the plans for Lannon Drive
and must take full responsibility of the ditch. The Woods Road
portion will be the Water Contractor's responsibility to restore
and install the ditch. Item #4 related to the proposed rear lot
line ditches. Mr. Boehm took the responsibility of clarifying
this issue and stated that it was his opinion that it was three
times the indicated required slope and it was determined that
deed restrictions would require the property owner to be
responsible for the following: 1. Maintaining the easement
property, and 2. Maintaining of the driveway culvert. The
requirement of a cul de sac on the dead end street was not
required to be placed in the final plan because a Preliminary
Plat was approved without the cul de sac being indicated. The
Committee determined that the first two coats of asphalt be layed
in Fall of 1987 and the final lift of asphalt will be negotiated
at the end of the first year of the Letter of Credit.
The Committee reviewed and approved the preliminary road and
drainage plans for Lake Brittany Addn. A1.
The Committee discussed the road restoration which is proposed as
a result of the Bellview/Bay Lane Sewer Project. The Committee
authorized the City Engineer to conduct soil boring tests on a
portion of Bay Lane Road, from Bay Lane School to Woods Road,
with the intent of repaving the road in 1988.
The Committee declined the request of the City of New Berlin to
participate in a stormwater management plan for the Tess Corners
area. The Committee is of the opinion that the study which
dictated the design of the Tess Corners retention pond addresses
drainage as it relates to Muskego.
The Committee discussed drainage problems on Indian Trail. The
Committee will investigate this problem further including past
recomhdations. It is'requested that Mr. Robert Klenz, Developer
of Durhamwoods Subdivision, be present at the August meeting.
The Committee discussed the need for updated cross-sections for
roads. Standard road specifications will be determined by Supt.
Bertram and Building Inspector for final review by the City
Engineers.
The Committee reviewed correspondence from the City Engineer
regarding Lannon Drive Resurfacing. It is the Committee's
recommendation that the costs for the resurfacing be shared by
the City and the Water Utility with the $3,100 for the 4 inch
trench patch on Lannon Drive being the Water Utility share.
Committee recommended that Lannon Drive be resurfaced.
