Presently based in Milwaukee, we provide passenger service from General Mitchell Field to several locations in Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties, Mondays through Fridays.

I feel our service could be an asset to Muskego in that passengers flown are from many areas and have the opportunity to view Muskego from the air, which is most advantageous, and could possibly be potential residents, both private and commercial. Muskego is a pretty area and modern expansion is readily apparent. We did operate one day, July 15, which confirmed our opinion of the potential business in the area.

It should be recognized that the Town in accepting dedication for a public road must assure itself of the capacity to reach such road with public service equipment. It would appear that a minimum condition would be that the Town be given assured easement over the connecting private road. An alternative possibility would be to require that the roads in the plat be con- structed according to Town specifications but that such roads remain private until such time as public connection can be provided. Before further consideration can be given to the plat percolation test data must also be submitted. Respectfully, NELSON & ASSOCIATES William L. Nelson AGR --+ I' \
