MINUTES OF MEETING HELD OCTOBER 5, 1976
The meeting was called to order at 8:00 P:M. by Acting Chairman Dumke.
Also present were Ald. Ford and Supt. Bertram.
Mr. Tim Kinsey end Mr. Jorgensen of the State Highway Commission
presented a proposal for adding a fifth lane to S.T.H. 24 between
124th St. and College Ave. The center lane would then be used as
a turning lane by westbound traffic. The committee agreed to review
the plans and make a recommendation at its next meeting. The total
cost of the project would be $70,000.00. Ninety (90%) would be paid
for by the federal government and 10% by the City of Muskego. Work
could be completed by spring of 1977. Ald. Ford advised Mr. Kinsey
that complaints have been received regarding the lowered speed limit
on Highway 24.
Mr. Wayne Foster appeared to discuss Lake Lore Estates Subdivision. Mr.
Foster requested permission to move the sewer and water lines for
said subdivision into the McShane Dr. right-of-way instead of going
down the center of the road since the sandy soil conditions under
McShane Road would make it difficult to keep from tearing up the
entire road surface during construction. Permission was granted. Mr.
Foster also indicated that a well for Lake Lore Estates was being
planned for a corner of Lot I/2. Ald. Ford questioned the advisability
of constructing a pumphouse on a private lot. Mr. Foster also requested
permission to defer the interconnection of the Tudor Oaks Development
and Lake Lore Estates water systems because the proposed well for
Lake Lore should be adequate until the lake property to the east is *
developed. The committee informed Mr. Foster that an amendment to
the developers agreement would be required and the matter was referred
to the city engineer.
Supt. Bertram reported that Guyro Construction Co. will give us a
proposal for removing the bogs that are blocking Caesar's dam on
Big Muskego Lake.
Ald. Ford requested that there be ample advanced publicity to the
beginning of the Little Muskego Lake fall drawdown.
Ald. Ford moved to have Building Inspector Lee impose a stop order on
construction in Shagbark Subdivision until concrete inverts are
installed in the drainage ditch along Martin Drive. Seconded by
Ald. Dumke, motion carried.
Ald. Ford requested that Supt. Bertram replace the "dangerous curve"
warning sign on Ranch Drive as it is faded and obscured by trees.
Ald. Ford requested that Building Inspector Lee advise Mr. Jeschke
of Martin Drive of our requirements for establishing cover on newly
filled areas.
Ald. Ford requested that Building Inspector Lee advise Mr. Carl
Gratzek of Roth Builders that fill intended for lots on Silver Drive
has been placed on the Ruby Dr. right-of-way and must be removed
e
immediately and the area restored.
