OLD BUSINESS:
Dandelion Park proposal for rezoning. Mr. Hulbert made a motion
to postpone any declsion for two weeks regarding the rezoning so
that the Park Board could submit a proposal to purchase Dandelion
Park. The Park Board wanted to purchase all of Dandelion Park but
would sell off a large portion of the park for commercial
development. Dr. Parthum seconded. Mayor Salentine had the
Recording Secretary read Resolution #219-85 adopted by the Common
Council in September, 1985 which stated the Common Council's
reasons for not purchasing the Masterson property. Mr. Hulbert
explained that the Park Board is reviewing its comprehensive plan
and several members would llke to preserve a portion of the
Muskego Beach for the future. The intent of the Park Board is
not to stop the commercial development but the Park Board would
like to address the remainder of the property to be developed.
Mr. Masterson stated that time is of the essence and he has
people who are interested now in developing the commercial
property. The Mayor asked for comments from the audience,. Mr.
Dick Nillson felt the community did not need any more parks and
that the Masterson property should be developed to help the tax
rate. Mr. Lemke spoke and felt the city had sufficient parks and
that the city should move on the Masterson proposal-the city
needs the tax base. Mr. Jerome Cottfried stated the land along
Highway 24 lends itself to commercial development and would be
beneficial to the City of Muskego. Mr. Christlanson stated the
Masterson property is probably one of the most valuable pieces of
property in the City and should be developed with as much tax
base as posslble-$10,000,000. Jean Sanders spoke and said as a
resident of Muskego for 30 years she felt that Little Muskego
Lake having 22 lake accesses was enough for a 600 acre lake. She
stated that the Common Council had voted in 1985 not to purchase
felt the community did not need another park. Alderman DeAngelis
Dandelion Park and felt it was to late to go with anything other
than the Masterson proposal. Mayor Salentine provided a tax

Hulbert again stated it was not the Park Board's intention to
have a 33 acre park but to sell off a large portion to commerical
development. He showed on the sketch an area he would like
and the area behind designated for residential development. Dr. reconsidered from Spitzner's to the end of the propsed B2 zoning
Parthum felt it would he reasonable to approve the B2 zoning but
felt consideratlon should be given to future use of a small park
area. He felt this would be positive to the community. Alderman
Penovich stated the Common Council had made a decision two years
ago regarding purchasing this property and that the decision
should stand. Mr. Hulbert withdrew his original motion. Dr.
Parthum withdrew hls second. Mr. Hulbert proposed to limlt the
commerical area requested and to approve the B2 zoning with the
area behind Spitzners to the west end of the property and the
residential area be considered. Mayor Salentine stated a useable
publlc park would need at least 16 acres and would be to hard to
control and maintain. It was decided in 1985 that there would be
no additional use of Llttle Muskego Lake for public access. Dr.
Parthum again stated a small beach or park with no boat launch
would be an attractive use. Alderman Penovich stated a beach or
about the type of commercial development going in and would
park would be the worst possible use. Mrs. Ferguson was curlous
strongly object to a K-Mart/Target type of store. Mrs. Lindhorst
stated a park would be to dlff.icult to maintain. Mr. Jim Haag
didn't. The commercial development would attract other
felt the City had its chance to purchase the property and
businesses to Muskego. A public park would take a lot of money
to malntain. Mrs. Knapp stated she can vlew Idle Isle from, her
home and that the area is rundown with no attendants to take fees
to help pay for the preservation of the park. She felt If a
beach was established people from surrounding communltles would
he using it much more than Muskego residents. Mr. Hulbert stated
he would like to keep the options open. Alderman penovich was
asked to address the commission regarding the possible
reconsideratlon of the Masterson proposal. Alderman Penovlch
stated the Common Council wanted the Plan Commission to review
the publlc hearing minutes and felt with the varying opinions a
