Krogmann’s Subdivision – Extension of Center Drive – Director McMullen explained this issued dated back to 1921 when Krogmann’s Subdivision was developed. The Town of Muskego signed and approved the subdivision map in 1921 and the addition was approved in 1923. In 1927 the developer deeded a portion of lot 4 at the end of Center Drive to the Homeowner’s Association for access to Little Muskego Lake. The property belonged to the Town according to the State’s Gastec Maps, which determine the State Aids, but the Association has been paying the taxes on the property since. To clear up the issue of ownership, Director McMullen recommended reiterating the Town of Muskego’s 1921 and 1923 acceptance of the plats according to the State’s Gastec maps by Council Resolution and then leasing the land back to the Association through a 99 year lease. Ald. Borgman moved to recommend to Council to accept the dedication, and further moved to direct Director McMullen to draft the lease agreements and necessary paper work for the acceptance. Seconded by Ald. Melcher. Motion carried 3-0. SUBDIVIDER’S EXHIBITS ACCEPTANCE OF IMPROVEMENTS NEW BUSINESS PLACED ON FILE – No action intended for these items.
