COMMITTEE STATUS
REPORT FOR:
JANUARY 2004
(Submitted on 1/12/04)
Rosewood Landscaping - Mayor Slocomb and I met with Paula Johnson
(S72 W14867 Rosewood Drive). Ms. Johnson’s newest request is filling of
the easement area up to the right-of-way line and installing fence at the right-
of-way line. We will be looking at possible locations and different alternatives
for filling in this area. Once a decision has been made and agreed upon by
Ms. Johnson, I will advise committee. However, if large amounts of fill will be
brought in to this easement area, those plans will be brought before the
committee for their approval.
Tess Corners Pond Expansion/Drainage Issues (New Berlin) - The environmental issues
have been approved and the DNR’s engineer has signed off on the project. The permit
application should be going to publication within the next 15-20 days. This has to be in the
paper for 30 days and if no one objects, a permit is then issued. Once a permit is issued we
will look at land acquisition with the City of New Berlin with a late Summer or early Fall 2004
construction start.
Janesville Road/Moorland Road Intersection - The borings are back for this intersection.
They show that the asphalt thickness ranges from 2” to 10” deficient. At the last meeting,
Ruekert & Mielke did report that they mis-staked approximately 100 feet of this intersection;
however, the insufficient base begins at the north end of the island all the way to the center line
of Princeton Drive. Once this report comes back from MES, we will have another meeting with
Waukesha County, the contractor and representatives from Ruekert & Mielke to determine

who is to pay what. This should cost the City of Muskego no more than approximately
$250.00 for borings.
Janesville Road Reconstruction Project - The DNR had objections regarding navigating
waterways and the retention pond in back of BioSource Flavors. The City of Muskego
requested a meeting with the DNR, on behalf of Waukesha County, and we were able to
negotiate minor changes to address the DNR’s concerns. This delay will backup the bid date
thst
from January 22, 204 to February 17, 2004. The construction start of April 15 thru May 1 will
not change.
Durham Drive Realignment - Waiting to find out if CMAQ funding has been approved. Once
we get final word from the State, the committee will be notified.
Martin Drive Realignment - All of the works has been completed and final payments have
been held due to sewer trench settlement at the Basse driveway. Once the paving plants
open in Spring, this will be corrected, at no cost to the City, and the funds will be released. At
the request of the Public Services Committee, Waukesha County has reopened the request
for traffic signals at this intersection. They are approximately 20% completed with the study
review and once I receive this information, I will forward on to the committee.
Schubring Bay - Dredging will be started this week.
