Discuss Request from Lake Brittany Homeowners Association (LBHA) for the City of
Muskego to Make a Tapered Cut into the Concrete Curb on Oxford Court - City
Engineer Simpson stated the Lake Brittany Homeowners Association submitted a request to
remove a small portion of the curb that is part of the landscape island within the Oxford
Court right-of-way. By removing the curb’s vertical face, it allows easier access for lawn
care equipment. It was discussed with Committee and residents. Director Simpson
2
recommended approving the requested curb opening request and charging expenses for the
construction to the LBHA. Ald. Borgman made a motion to approve the curb opening
request as presented to us. Ald. Madden seconded. Motion carried 2-0.
Discuss Request to Modify Previously Approved Public Works Drainage Plan Near S69
W17548 Redman Drive (Redman & Lake) – City Engineer Simpson advised a drainage
concern at and near S69 W17549 Redman Drive was discussed at the February 20, 2012,
Public Works Meeting and a drainage plan was approved to help alleviate the problem. The
homeowner has requested the City reconsider the issue and move the proposed drainage
swale further from his garage so he can utilize the City right-of-way. Because a specific plan
was approved, this request is being brought back to Committee for reconsideration.
Recommendation was to direct staff as to how much area within the existing right-of-way the
Committee would like to have remain as usable area to the homeowner so that a redesign
can be completed. Ald. Borgman made a motion to move swale further from his garage.
Seconded by Ald. Madden. Motion carried 2-0.
Recommend Approval of the Compliance Maintenance Annual Report (CMAR) for 2011 -
City Engineer Simpson stated one of our responsibilities in the operation of the City’s
Sanitary Sewer Conveyance System comes from the WDNR. They require an annual report
titled “Compliance Maintenance Annual Report” (CMAR). Part of the report is a requirement
to have a resolution in order to ensure that elected officials are aware of the current state of
the system by sharing the CMAR and ensuring adequate funding is available to the Utility.
Ald. Madden made a motion recommending to approve resolution. Ald. Borgman seconded.
Motion carried 2-0.
