The layout indicated a raised plaza which would include the city hall with council chambers, library, theatre and social center. Mr. Schultze pointed out that the parking for the plaza would be depressed in order for the buildings to be seen rather than the view blocked by parked cars, that the civic August 5, 1969 Page 4 - Plan Commission center could be built in stages as proposed in this plan which would prove advantageous as the more important buildings could be constructed in order of their importance to the city, that the post office, fire station and police department would be con- structed north of the raised plaza and as much of the wooded area to the north would be retained, that it would be their well as easily obtainable for additions, that the plaza would intention to use materials which would be maintenance free as serve as a pedestrian mall with a fountain for environmental and visual impact, that the plaza would be constructed in such a way as to be available to all the citizens of Muskego including the handicapped. the civic center site as proposed by the architects and indicating basic patterns for land use in the surrounding area as proposed in the following communication dated August 1, 1969: "Gentlemen: At your last meeting, July 22, 1969, we presented orally our recommendations related to the petition of Mr. R. Wallner for 15 acres of commercial zoning across the entire CTH "Y" frontage of the former Pohlmann-Loomis property. You will recall that our conclusion, after studying the total commercial potential for this general area and for the entire city in the foreseeable future, was that only one or two acres of the Wallner property should be set aside for such use. our report, of July 14, 1969, to the Civic Center architects, feet of commercial floor space projected for this area all within that there was adequate space to place the 30,000 to 60,000 square the 20 acre civic center trian&, thereby creating a "village center". One of the reasons this civic center site was proposed originally was its potential for combined public and commercial uses to create a community focal point. You asked that we allow the architects to complete their preliminary site plan work and to make a joint report to you on the question of including commercial uses within the triangle. Civic Center Planning - Accordingly, we conferred today with the architects, Gazinski, Schulze and Zemanovic. Their site plan work to date, which will be presented to you in full scale at your next meeting on August 5th, has been translated onto the overall base map included herewith. You will note their work confirms the sufficiency of space to include a village center of offices, shops and similar commercial uses within the 20 acre triangle area. commercial zoning be limited to small 1 acre corner parcels at Recommendation - On that basis we would again recommend that Wallner property line) and new CTH "Y".

Land to the west of the multiple family extend from the 20 acre triangle's north line, northto the Planner Knetzger then reviewed a map of Section 17 designating This conclusion was based on the assumption, documented in The architects further recommend, and we are willing to Page 5 - Plan Commission August 5, 1969 electric company right-of-way.

We acknowledge, however, the architects' observation that this places the civic center under a substantial risk, and therefore we are willing to concur in multiple family use as a safer alternate). They have noted reticence in the Civic Center Committee to the however, which complicates the above land use recommendations. We have mentioned that leasin such land would be a way of avoiding concept of selling any of the 20 acre land for commercial use. loss of control of the dr future city uses, but nevertheless the desire for a "village center" within the triangle seems to be missing in the Committee. For that reason the architects on their own site plans show only basic open space where the commercial uses might occur. We thus developed together with the architects an alternate land use recommendation for your consideration. from 4 to 9 acres depending on growth south of the high school) with Racine Avenue extended westerly, north to the industrial access directly opposite the civic center, from the tip intersection road. Hopefully, the post office would take a portion of the commercial area. more than the 24 acres shown on the Foth property, another 60 acres of land could be held in reserve for a reasonable time, for possible industrial use. Ownerships involved in this reserve category would be Foth, Scholbe, Wallner, and E Niemann. Agricul- tural zoning would be a method for achieving the reserve status. Summary - Recommendation #1 - Assume principal commercial acres of multiple family use (RSM) on Foth and former Hohensee use on clvlc center land within the 20 acre triangle. Zone 9 tracts, and 6 acres of RSM on Wallner property. Zone 1 acre each of commercial on Hohensee and Wallner tracts (B-2). .

August 5, 1969 Page 6 - Plan Commission Mr. Buehler questioned if the architects concurred with the planner's recommendations and Architect Gazinski answered, "basically yes". Mr. Buehler questioned how the architects felt about commercial zoning vs. multiple family and Mr. Gazinski advised that commercial or multiple family would provide good screening between the civic center site and industry. He pointed out the disadvantage ofwer-zoning property, that if too large an area is zoned, development for that district will be sparse. COMMUNICATIONS ""_" MUSKEG0 LAKES COUNTRY CLUB - The following communication dated July 21, 1969, directed to the Commission from Nelson & Associates was read by the Recording Secretary: "Gentlemen: At your regular meeting of December 3, 1968, you asked our firm to assist in the preparation of the above official conditional use grant form which is signed by the Commission and the petitioner prior to the issuance of a building permit.
