NEW BUSINESS
Discuss grading plans - Library site - Gregg Baum of Durant Architects provided revised plans
for the Committee’s review. Several intermediate meetings were held to revamp the existing
plans to meet the City’s criteria on water retention rates. The amount of water to be retained
due to the library is .71 acre feet. The water will be held in the Freedom Square #3 pond. A
question regarding a duct and the items within this duct are believed to be fiber optic cables.

ensure that the calculations will hold true. John McCarthy will provide data to used to
determine how calculations were derived. Ald. Salentine moved to approve the library plan
contingent upon City Engineer’s field work at library site and the ditch side of the pond.

Review grading and drainage plans - Muskego Motor Car Company (Anton) - Bob Fox,
engineer for this project received correspondence from R&M regarding corrections to the plan
submitted. The release rate for the pond is at a 2 year calculation. The parking lot water will
predominately drain into the existing pond but, some of the water in the rear parking area
appears to drain into the swail at the back of the property. A 30 inch corrugated invert pipe will
be run under the driveway. Chairman Pionek had indicated to the individuals present that the
plans were received by this Committee on Friday (6/5/98), due to the lack of time available for
review of the material provided by the individuals, approval of the plans, as submitted would
not be possible. The two main issues to be corrected are the water flow off of the parking
areas and water quality with the runoff going into Linne Lac. The use of a wet retention pond
in lieu of the dry pond (submitted option) was discussed to assist in the water quality issue.
Dropping the North side of the lot could help in getting all of the water into the pond. The
Committee also requests that a paving plan be submitted in conjunction with the revised
grading and drainage plans. Additionally a basin map to determine water flow was requested
by the Committee. Ald. Salentine moved to defer item until June 22, 1998 Public Works
meeting. Seconded by Ald. Chiaverotti. Carried by all.
Discuss grading issues - Muskego Theater - Chairman Pionek provided a brief update on the
situation. The pond on the initial plan was approved and will remain as submitted. The
proposed grade plan will be submitted by June 12, 1998 for the theater. A letter was sent out

requested at the June 22, 1998 Public Works meeting to discuss her grading plans for her
parcel of property.
