Public Works Committee - MINUTES - 7/20/1978PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE - CITY OF MUSKEGO
c MINUTES OF MEETING HELD LTULY 20, 1978
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Schaumberg at 8;15 P.M.
Also present were committee member Dumke, Mayor Gottfried and supt. Bertram.
Several residents near the Marlan Meadows Subdivision appeared
to discuss with the committee the proposed drainage plan. Mr.
a Roger Johnson reviewed the plan and how it relates to the recom- mendations established by the City's consulting engineers.
Mr. Johnson also answered several questions from those attending.
Ald. Dumke moved to approve the proposed drainage plan for Marlan Meadows. Seconded by Ald. Schaumberg, motion carried.
Mr. Zindler appeared before the committee to discuss a drainage problem in front of his home on Highway 24. Supt. Bertram
explained to the committee that the State Highway Department feels
the problem was created because of construction of sewers in the area. Mr. Zindler explained that his sump pump was pumping water
into the front ditch according to the City ordinance. However,
because the ditch was so full of water, he feels he is simply
recycling and has already burned out a pump. supt. Bertram sug-
gested one possible partial solution would be to permit Mr. Zindler to re-locate his drainage from the basement so it could be pumped
out to the rear of his home. However, Mr. Zindler was concerned
about the cost of that suggestion. The committee directed Supt.
Bertram to contact Mr. McCarthy of the State Highway Department
to see what can be worked out.
Mr. Wayne Foster appeared before the committee to request that
the owners of Lots 55 and 56 in Lake Brittany Estates be permitted to extend storm sewer running along their common lot lines an
additional 50'. Ald. Dumke moved to grant the request, subject to the provisions that adequate rip-rap and erosion control devices be installed. Ald. Schaumberg seconded, motion carried.
Mr. Foster introduced the representative for Layne Northwest to discuss with the committee the status of the well which will serve Lake Lore, Lake Brittany Estates and Tudor Oaks, and why several
pieces of used equipment were installed. He explained that the
motor was fully reconditioned and was superior to those that are
available at the present time. Mayor Gottfried advised the
committee of the concerns expressed by John Mielke. Ald. Schaumberg
moved to approve the use of the reconditioned motor subject to the
understanding that the developers provide the City with a $1,500
performance or cash bond which would be held for five years. Seconded by Ald. Dumke, motion carried.
Mr. Foster indicated that there probably would be some changes
made in the water trust provisions of the developer's agreement
which in effect would make Tudor Oaks South the manager of the
0
water trust.
Mayor Gottfried advised the committee that he had received
correspondence from City Attorney Buckley indicating that Mr.
Beringer would like another $100 for the lot at the end of
Lochcrest Blvd. It was the opinion of the committee that the $650.00 authorized by the City was a fair price and, therefore,
they did not recommend to the Common Council that $100.00 be added to the offer.
Minutes of the previous meeting were reviewed and placed on file.
A communication was received from Mrs. Wayne Baumgart, W135 56625 Hemming Way, advising the City of a tree that possibly may
have been damaged to the extent that it may die. supt. Bertram
advised the committee that he had looked at the tree and agreed
that the City equipment did take some of the bark off. He did
not think it was damaged to the extent that it would kill the tree. However, he did advise Mrs. Baumgart to write to the committee
so that there would be a record of her concern.
