COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVISION - Planner Knetzger reviewed
changes and revisions which he would recommend for the City's
consideration to update the comprehensive plan adopted by the
City in 1963. He submitted and reviewed maps indicating sewer
study areas, school plans with complete sewer extension and
school plans without sewer extension, industrial and commercial
areas, civic center locations and relocated freeway and highway
routes.

He advised that another major change would be in the areas
proposed for sewer in the 1963 plan pointing out that it is now
apparent that sewer can be extended to include the northwest,
southwest and southeast portions of the city - areas which had
not been included in the 1963 sewer projections. He advised,
however, if sewers are extended to these areas, lot size will be
decreased thus creating a higher density which would allow the
possibility of walk-in, K-5 schools. He pointed out that under
present market trends, unsewered areas do not develop, thus
unless the sewers are available in these areas, it is doubtful
that these portions of the City will develop.

and the northwest corner of "Y" and 24 (Scholbe & Schaefer
property), and a small site on College Ave. & lfY". The
existing industrial areas on McShane Rd. and Highway 36 would
be reduced and the existing industrial area at the proposed
junction of Hy 24 and the Waukesha County By-Pass would remain
as proposed in the 1963 plan.
Planner Knetzger then reviewed the school sites and
pointed out that recent planning methods induce pedestrian
systems whereby neighborhood schools are located within a
residential area in such a manner that children can walk to school
and cross a very limited number of streets; that based on
complete sewer extension, there could be one school for every
400-500 students in a K-5. He reviewed possible locations of
high schools, middle schools and elementary schools based on
increased density through sewer extension. He also reviewed
potential shopping centers which could be increased from the
