PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE - CITY OF MUSKEGO
MINUTES OF MEETING HELD JULY 7, 1976
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Schaumberg at 8:30 P.M.
Also present were committee members Dumke and Ford, Supt. Bertram,
Mayor Gottfried, Building Inspector Lee and Aldermen Pienkos and
Constantineau.
The committee discussed the conditions of the drainage ditches in
the Fountainwood area and although the contractor has done some
work on the ditch it has not been completed to the satisfaction
of the city. The committee directed Supt. Bertram to contact the
contractor once more regarding this matter.
The committee discussed the status of the development and the change
in topography of the hill on the south side of Ridge Road in the
Lakeview Hills Subdivision. The committee noted that the developer,
Mr. Frank Narlock, has completed a portion of the required restoration
work to the satisfaction of the city, however, the project will
continued to be reviewed periodically.
In continuing their review of the Public Works tour taken in May the
committee discussed drainage problems in Hillendale Heights Subdiv-
ision paying particular attention to the drainage ditches along
Prospect Drive east of Hickory Lane in front of the former Carroll
property and also the John Hansen property. It was the decision of
the committee that some anti-erosion action is needed to solve the
problem, however, no decision was made on what that action would be.
The committee agreed that they would review the matter after it is
determined whether or not there will be any capital spending in
1976 depending on the results of the coming referendum. The committee
noted that they have not received specific storm water drainage plans
from Mr. Frank Fry for lots owned by him in the area of Prospect
Drive and Sunnyhill Drive. The committee concurred that no Building
Permits will be issued until approved storm water drainage plans
are received.
The committee directed Supt. Bertram to begin the work on the
Muskego Creek adjacent to the Mayer property as soon as he is able
to do so.
In reviewing the drainage problems in Ward 6 the committee noted
that Supt. Bertram plans to install a 6" drain tile on the Mel Fritz
property and connect it to a storm sewer leading from Woods Road.
Supt. Bertram reported that his work on the drainage problem in the
vicinity of Kelsey Drive has been completed and that Mr. Salentine,
Mr. Guhr and Mr. Erno have also completed their responsibility.
Mr. Trapp, Agent for Mrs. William Kapke, appeared at the meeting to
discuss a proposed 3-parcel division of land located on Berger Lane.
The committee noted that Berger Lane is a private street, that it
dead ends at the Wendt property and that requiring a 60' right-of-way
would be a hardship on Mrs. Kapke and was not needed. Ald. Schaumberg
moved to accept a 20' dedication from Mrs. William Kaplce which would
then provide sufficient width to create a 50' public street when
additional divisions are requested and that a $3,662.00 cash payment
is acceptable. \ Seconded by Ald. Ford, motion carried,
Public Works Committee, Cont'd.

The committee again reviewed engineering plans for the proposed Lake
Lore Subdivision and will await the recommendation from the city's
engineers before taking further action.
Supt. Bertram was directed to again contact Mr. Roger Johnson re-
garding storm water drainage in the Shagbark Subdivision. He was
directed to advise Mr. Johnson that the city will insist the work
be completed prior to the beginning of the fall rains.
Supt. Bertram advised the committee that restoration work in the Hale
Park Meadows outlots by Rite Realty is progressing satisfactorily,
however, he will continue to review the restoration as it progresses.
a
Building Inspector Lee advised the committee that the one remaining
problem in outlot 113 is still not solved.
Supt. Bertram and Building Inspector Lee requested that the committee
review the recently approved division of the Mary Androjna property
and pointed out to the committee the several problems relating to
the road extension. The committee agreed that the owner of the
property will have to construct the road and the necessary cul-de-sac
and that a solution to the road layout will have to await the dev-
elopment of the property to the west.
Supt. Bertram advised the committee that the storm sewer project on
Groveway Lane would cost the estimated $1,358.28. He pointed out
that it would be necessary to complete the project prior to winter
because of the need to protect private water mains in the area. Ald.
Ford moved to authorize Supt. Bertram to do the necessary work subject
to the availability of money. Seconded by Ald. Colburn, motion carried.
The committee reviewed the request from Mr. Don DeBack to reduce his
road bond for the Ridges Subdivision from $35,000.00 to $2,500.00.
Supt. Bertram advised the committee that all of the work has been done
to his satisfaction with the exception of the placement of sod along
the inverts which he estimated could be done for about $2,000.00.
e
Ald. Schaumberg moved to release all by $2,500.00 of the road bond,
Seconded by Ald. Dumke, motion carried.
The committee authorized the Electric Company to relocate the guy
wires on the north side of the city's industrial park in the vicinity
of the Alpine Lanes bowling alleys.
Ald. Ford reported that there was a slight leak at the bottom of the
Jewel Creek headwall and indicated that it could be repaired by the
0
replacement of a few sandbags. Supt. Bertram agreed to provide the
sandbags and also to clean the Silver Drive ditch and to replace
several signs that have been damaged in the area.
Mayor Gottfried reviewed with the committee the proposed development of
thexceille property. He pointed out that the developer has requested
38 lots and that if a lower density were required by the city that curb
and gutters and storm sewer would have to be deleted. It was the comnit- tees dec‘ision not to change their position requiring curb and gutters
and storm\, ewers in the development of the Ceille property adjacent to
Freedom Acre\Subdivision. The meeting at 11:lO P.M. Edwin P. Dumke, Sec'y.
