UNFINISHED BUSINESS
1. Discuss Urban/Rural Drainage
Mr. Delikat stated the project on Sunny Hill was near completion. He will work with the
County regarding the culvert on Janesville Road near the Country Squire.
The Janesville Road reconstruction project was discussed with Mr. McMullen stating
that the road can be closed for up to a 28-day period. He does not when this will occur
but will be responsible for notification. The road closure will occur sometime during the
summer while school is not in session. Appropriate signage is required to be in place
prior to the road being closed.
2. Review Status of Quietwood East - Woods Road Damage
Mr. McMullen stated there was nothing new to report.
3. Review Request to Waive Stormwater Requirements (Heather’s Way)
Ald. Buckmaster stated he requested deferral of this item so he could obtain more
information. A hydrology report would be required to support that the wetlands would
not be adversely affected. However, Mr. McMullen stated that wetland areas could not
be used for stormwater management. He presented information to show the
calculations used for the Big Muskego Estates Phase II development and how
stormwater management was included in the yield plan. Mr. McMullen stated that he
told the developer an area of approximately 11% to 15% is required to accommodate
stormwater management.
Mr. Tom Stang appeared on behalf of the developer. He asked if land or an easement
could be acquired and be utilized. Mr. McMullen responded off-site land could be used
for stormwater management purposes pursuant to Chapter 34 of the City’s Municipal
Code. However, the off-site area has to allow the physical conveyance of stormwater.
