A quote from Enders Construction, dated September 26, 1991, for
installation of the pond at $62,840 for 1991 and $69,124 if done
in 1992 (an increase of 10%). The quote is to be reviewed by the
City Engineer. The erosion control plan was reviewed and
approved. Application to the DNR should be started now so permits
are available for construction.
The Committee was receptive to the 70 ft. easement as shown on the
Klenz survey for the Lambs property on Woods Road. The City
Engineer indicated that the 70 ft. easement is adequate providing
that upstream water retention ponds are built. To assure the City

required it to be placed on the easement, a deed restriction will
be placed on the property indicating that the City is not
responsible for relocation.

traffic causing bare spots and soil erosion. The Committee
indicated that the areas around Racine Avenue is Waukesha County's
responsibility and that it is difficult to patrol the dirt bike traffic.
The Committee discussed fill for sewer trench backfill and agreed with Supt. Loughney that crushed road gravel be required for backfill purposes in road right-of-ways. This will replace the
granular fill that was allowed in the past.
Discussion on drainage pipe on Jewel Crest/Garnet was deferred.
