Review Storm Sewer Easement – Muskego Drive – Sean reported that this item was
referred to the Public Works Committee from the Plan Commission. Mr. Don
Guay, W180 S6690 Muskego Drive, is requesting to build an additional garage on his
property, part of which to be installed in a 20 ft. drainage easement that is owned by the
City of Muskego. The City purchased this easement along the southeast portion of Mr.
Guay’s property that goes between Ranch Drive and Muskego Drive. The proposed
garage would have an encroachment on the drainage easement of approximately seven to
nine feet. Mrs. Kathy Beaudry, W180 S6698 Muskego Drive, appeared before the
Public Works Committee Minutes 06/24/02 Page 3
committee to discuss request. Mrs. Beaudry wanted the committee to understand that she
had no objection of the garage being built; her main concern is not having additional
water directed to her property. Mr. Guay is proposing to lay an 18” pipe in the existing
ditch and put backfill over the top. The committee agreed with Mrs. Beaudry’s concern
and decided that they would allow Mr. Guay to install pipe to the end of his property line
and that in the Fall of 2002, the City would install additional pipe to the end of the
property on Ranch Drive so that all water would flow properly. Ald. Patterson moved to
approve request of Mr. Guay for installation of stormsewer pipe in City’s easement.
Seconded by Ald. Le Doux, motion carried unanimously.
ACCEPTANCE OF IMPROVEMENTS – Sean brought to the committee’s attention a
request from Mr. Bill Carity, developer of Quietwood Creek Subdivision, to allow him to
install final pavement for roads, pedestrian path and recreation trail starting at the
intersection of Martin Drive, including Martin Court, to Woods Road. The committee is
receptive to entering into an agreement with Mr. Carity whereby he can do the final
paving in that area as long as he agrees that he is responsible to mill out the road if any
destruction occurs. Sean will write a letter to Mr. Carity advising of the committee’s
decision.
