SUBJECT: Construction of Bay Lane Road-Widening at Country SQUIRE
(Approximately 250.0' x 40').
On or about May 20, 1969 Mr. Jack A. Radtke, Attorney for
Country Squire, and myself met at the premises of the Country
Squire and measured the right-of-way required for widening
of Bay Lane road and how it would affect the loss of about
ten to twelve parking spaces. It was further discussed as to
the possibility of the City of Muskego filling in the area at
parking area by loss of widening of Bay Lane Road.
the east end of the Country Squire property to provide for
It was requested by Att. Jack A. Radtke that the City Engineer,
Board of Public Works and himself apply for a Northeast parking
lot access permit from the Wisconsin Highway Commissioner to
exit only into Highway 24 by right turn only going east, and
that anybody whshing to make a left turn would do so at the
patrons entering the Country Squire as they would have to make a
intersection of Bay Lane and Highway 24. The same applies to
left turn at the in,tersection of Highway 24 and Bay Lane.
The above information was discussed at the May 22, 1969 Public
Works Committee meeting and it was agreed to work out the
problems with Country Squire as presented, and to refer the
same to the Plan Commission for approval.
Respectfully submitted,
City Engineer

Re : City of Muskego, Civic Center Space Guidelines
Gentlemen :
Transmitted herewith is a summary of data relating to the future needs for space
on Muskego's prospective civic center. Much of this data has been prepared
over the past few years for the City Plan Commission. Current data has been
added where needed. The Commission has anticipated the need in their 1969
budget for this kind of coordination between our firm and the civic center
architects. Should you have questions about this material, call upon us for
assistance.
' We have also been directed by the Commission to collaborate with you in the
site planning aspects of the civic center. In that regard we will continue to
supply you with maps relating to that area, and to collaborate with you on
questions that arise on the most desirable development of the site.
Muskeso's Community Development Plan, 1963
The Plan Commission under the former Town adopted a long range plan for
community development in 1963, after three years of studies and findings
prepared by our firm.
The significant elements of the plan that relate directly to the civic center were
these :
1. Urbanization with public sanitary sewers was planned only for the approximately
12 sections of land in the north-northeast area of the Town. (Generally the land
east of CTH "Y" and Hillendale Drive, and north of the Woods Road and Big
Muskego Lake).
2. Urbanization of a principally low density residential character on individual
soil absorption sewage systems was planned for the northwest two sections, and
two sections east of Big Muskego Lake. A fairly minor amount was also anticipated
near Lake Denoon. The balance of Muskego was planned to be permanent 0 agricultural use.
MEMBER e AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CONSULTING PLANNERS
0 Gazinski, Schulze 6 Zemanovic -2- July 14, 1969
3. Total population upon complete development of the urban areas was targeted at
45,000 persons. At grow,th rates subsequently forecast by the regional planners,
the 45,000 would be reached about the year 2000, or 30 years from now.
4. The center of urban population would thus become approximately Section 10.
A Civic Center site was recommended on STH 24 at the south shore of Little
Muskego Lake. The site was :
a. Close to the proposed center of dense population.
b. On a major east-west artery at the junction of a north south route.
c. On the shore of one of Muskego's major natural assets.
d. Would clear out substandard development existing there.
Muskeso's Current Planning
Last year the Commission requested an updating of their plan in several respects.
Two of these were: (1) the newfound possibility of,extending sewers to the
northwest area, and with major lift stations to the areas flanking the east and
west sides of Big Muskego Lake; and (2) increasing the density of proposed
residential areas, since the concept of interim large lots on septic sewage
systems, to be served with sewer later, was falling out of favor with builders
and the real estate market.
The Commission has not yet acted upon our recommendations on these topics,
given orally last October, but the long term population capacity figures of the
city involved are as follows :
a
1963 Oct. 1968
Population Potentials Plan Plan
1963 Urbanizeable Area 42,000 62,500
West of Big Muskegb 0 36,000
East-SE of Big Muskego 0 18,500
117,000
Scattered & Farm Pop. 3,000 3,000
45,000 120,000 Persons
In effect theultimate capacity could be increased up to 2.7 times over the 1963
plan, however, since speed up in development is not anticipated, it is possible
that the growing period would also be stretched out by up to 2.7 times--from
30 years to 80 years.
Civic Center Planninq, 1963 and 1967
Before the City decided to abandon the civic center site recommended for the south
shore of Little Muskego Lake, we were asked to prepare a development study that
e
0 Gazinski, Schulze & 2emanovic -3- July 14, 1969
would list possible uses, and long term space demands. The uses listed in our
report of June 1967 were:
1. City Hall 35,000 sq. ft.
2. Library 37,5,00 sq. ft.
3. Youth Center incl. in Theatre
4. Theatre Indoor 350 to 500 seats
5. Theatre, Outdoor 150 seats
6. Swimming Pool 4000-8000 sq. ft.
7. Boat Piers
The fire department was excluded because they have a location almost adjacent
to the lakeshore site. Police facilities were to be part of city hall, or part of
the fire department site. Parking demand was estimated at 400 spaces, with
overlapping use of the space making 300 stalls the design target.
A site plan was prepared in conjunction with Architect Donald Grieb's translation
of the space standards into possible building shapes. A total of 8.5 acres was a utilized. /.
-
Two phases of development were contemplated for the city hall and library, with
the other facilities being built at one time, in the second phase. The conclusion
of the City upon receipt of this data was that another site should be sought.
Current Civic Center Planninq
As part of the updating study of the city's plan we suggested three alternate civic
center sites for their consideration: (1) STH 24 at new CTH "Y"; (2) Lannon Drive
at STH 24; and the site finally selected: junction of old and new CTH "Y" south
of STH 24. Two of these sites, (1) and (31, are proposed to have industrial
zoning adjacent to them, which offers the possibility of having the city's public
works yard in visual proximity to the civic center. The principal advantages to
such an arrangement would be the additional impact of the civic center if city
development straddled both sides of the street, and the proper example that
could be set for the industrial area if the city garage were done well.
In a previous report to the city in December 1967, space demands for a public
works yard to serve 50,000 persons, were inferred to be about 5 acres, or 1 acre
per 10,000 persons. Thus up to 12 acres would be necessary for 120,000 persons.
In evaluating the sites, the Commission also wanted a civic center that could
be integrated with future commercial development so as to form a "village center".
shops, offices and the public buildings.
Emphasis would be placed on a pedestrian atmosphere between an assortment of
e Gazinski, Schulze & Zemanovic -4 - July 14, 1969
The post office department has expressed an interest in being in this village
center area as well. The site selected and purchased by the City contains
20.6 acres inside the triangle formed by old and new "Y", and the Reinke
property line. In addition, 13 acres of marsh along new CTH "Y" has been
purchased from the Foth ownership. Another 13 acres was already in ownership
at Horn Field adjacent to the Electric Co. right of way. Thus almost 47 acres is
now in city ownership within the large triangle extending to the Electric Co.
right of way. In order to complete the Horn Field park area, we are also
recommending that the City eventually acquire the rear portions of the Reinke
and Paepke properties, adding another 10 acres.
The total site under consideration will then become 57 acres.
Revised List of Civic Center Uses .and Space Requirements
The change in civic center sites from the lakeshore of Little Muskego'Lake to the
triangle site at old and new CTH "Y" results in some use changes by virtue
of the location shift. At the lakeshore site, which was near the old fire station
and the temporary police headquarters on STH 24 the fire station could be omitted
from the civic site itself. At the new site it would appear desirable to provide
a new combined fire and police facility, rather than to modernize and expand
the STH 24 station. The consideration of industrial use along new "Y" also
warrants placement of a fire station on the civic site.
Since the Plan Commission has not yet indicated a policy on the long term
population capacity change we have proposed, the following table of uses and
space requirements shows three breakdowns : present city planning based upon
the 1963 plan; increasing the density of the 1963 urbanizeable area, and expanding
the urban area southward.
e
The chart of uses can be converted to land area requirements by adding parking
and open space to the floor areas involved, and by making allowance for possible
two story construction.
Parking for the primary uses in the smallest civic center complex would be: city
hall, 85 spaces; Library, 75 spaces; social center, 25 spaces; Theatre 125 spaces;
outdoor amphitheatre, 50 spaces; police station, 30 spaces; fire station, 15 spaces;
a total of 405 spaces. Peak use of parking by each element is unlikely since
hours of use vary. An advantage to the civic "center" concept is that shared use
of parking is feasible. Provision for 300 spaces would seem adequate.
The related recreation parking should provide for swimming pool, 50 spaces;
spaces; a total of 115 spaces.
Parking for the post office can be expected at 20 swces; the commercial uses will
probably utilize an index of 7 spaces per 1000 square feet of floor area, or 140
0 park (primarily Horn Field), 50 spaces: lagoon (if rental boating is provided) 15

Considering the dense tree growth covering about 5 acres of the 20.6 acre area,
the above 13 .8 acres of open space might be a justifiable setting for only 2.1
acres of buildings. However, allowing additional uses to absorb a portion of
that 13.8 acres would also be defensible. Up to 5 acres of apartments could
be.considered, if the city made a definite commitment to limit its population

portion of the.site as tabulated from .the spaces in the accompanying table.

Utilizing the same 30% of floor space in 2 story construction as was used in the
table for the 45,000 persons city plan, residual open space in the core 20 acres
becomes 12.6 acres as tabulated below.

Again it could be concluded that 4 or 5 acres of such compatible uses to a
village center concept as apartments could be allowed.
The land requirements for the very long range, high capacity 120,000 persons
plan would be 1.5 acres for parking in the recreation area, and 8.9 acres for the
uses in the 20 acre village and civic center core. Land coverage with buildings
would be 4.8 acres if branches were not established for the library, social
center, or police department. The residual 6.9 acres of open space would
probably not be sufficient to permit introduction of such uses as apartments into
the village center, unless the projection of 60,000 square feet of commercial
space turned out to be optimistic.

Summary
The triangular shaped site selected by the City Plan Commission and purchased
by the Common Council for a civic and village center at the junction of old and
new CTH "Y" will be adequate for the uses contemplated. This holds true for
the long range higher capacity plan of 120,000 city residents as will the 45,000
and 65,000 capacity plans. The lower capacity plans would also permit some
additional uses such as apartments.
The two biggest challenges raised by the long remaining growth period of the city
(30 to 80 years) are: (1) making the initial grouping of buildings have some impact
in spite of the large reserves of vacant land that will be held for future expansion;
(2) selecting an architectural theme and choice of materials in which additions
can be made during the next several decades that match the original construction
and avoid any "tacked on" result.
