NEW BUSINESS
Review Storm Sewer, Grading and Paving Plans - Northfield Green
Mr. McMullen reviewed the plans with the Committee. He stated the plans meet all of
the City’s minimum requirements. There is one outstanding issue, which is the
recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Board to have a recreation trail run
adjacent to Sandalwood. The width available to accommodate a trail is less than six
feet because of the additional roadway width on Sandalwood. Mr. McMullen showed
the committee the cross section, which depicts the 34-foot wide asphalt section, verses
the 24-foot wide section on normal subdivision roadways. The increased section was
recommended as part of the Sandalwood Development to allow for additional on street
parking in the “Condo” portion of the development. However, with the new cross-
section there is only enough room for a 5.5-foot wide path, which is less than the
standard 8-foot wide section. The Committee agreed that the issue should go back to
the Parks and Recreation Board for reconsideration, as it appears a recreation trail
along Sandalwood cannot be accommodated. Mr. McMullen will review the matter with
the Parks and Recreation Board. Alderman Madden moved to approve the plans as
submitted; seconded by Alderman Salentine. Motion carried.
ENGINEERING/BUILDING INSPECTION DIRECTOR’S REPORT
Mr. McMullen stated bids submitted through Waukesha County were opened on Friday.
The cost for the truck that the City intends to purchase is $104,681, which is $13,928
less than what was budgeted. This also does not include the trade in value.
ADJOURNMENT
Ald. Madden moved to adjourn the meeting at 6:58 P.M. Seconded by Ald. Salentine,
motion carried.
Respectfully submitted,
