commissioners that this resolution is on the floor. Mr. Rob
Patch was present and stated that he met with CJaukesha County
Park h Plan and since they cannot determine how much acreage will
be preserved in the subdivision for park land, he would like to
see this resolution deferred. He needs more time to do the -.e layout of his subdivision. He went on to describe the pie-shaped
area involved. Mr. Patch also talked about the drainage problems
will be. Therefore, he is requesting the commissioners defer
and retention and detention ponds -- how big and how deep they
would like to come back with the correct layout. Chairman

Salentine responded that it is important to the Plan Commission
to have this knowledge, so they can make a recommendation to the
Common Council on the density. There are a lot of unknowns.
Mr. Hulbert asked the Chairman what we could vote on tonight.
Mr. Lee responded that on 145 acres the density would be 372.
Mr. Hulbert asked if we would be going back to RS-2/0PD zoning?

resident at 578 W20516 Pasadena questioned the outlet on
interested parties should contact his secretary, Cathie. A
Gaffney. He wanted to know if it will be from Monterey to
Hillendale and if sewer is going to be brought to the

include the intercepter in the first phase.

Trucking" sign in this residential district. Mr. Hulbert talked
about the multi-familv proposed. He would like to look at Mr.
Patch's other developments. Chairman Salentine asked Mr. Patch to leave some information regarding these developments with his
secretary, as he would like to look at them personally. Mr.
Hulbert would like to look at the attached garages. Ellsworth
Koch commented that he isn't for or against this development.
The way he sees the layout, where you enter Pasadena, you would
go right through his property. No one has talked to him.
Chairman Salentine responded that this is the initial sketch.
Mr. Patch responded that he has talked with Mr. Koch on the phone
and that the layout would not impact him. Mr. James Rutegers,
who lives on Pasadena asked what impact this development would
have on the animal situation across the road. Mr. Patch said
that it is very complicated--the homesteads would stay up but the
livestock would be immediately removed. The pig barn would come
down and in June or July all the barns would ,eo. Rruce RuergeK,

Commission is at a disadvantage without knowing the acres of
County land. Another resident questioned the area in the
triangle and what control Mr. Patch would have over it? Mr.
Patch responded that he can't control the drainage--just removal
of livestock and the pig barn. Mr. Hulbert commented that Mr.
Patch doesn't have title to the land in the triangle and what
would prevent him from having a cow or a pony? Chairman
Salentine responded that first we take the financial guarantee
for the improvements. Mr. Rutegers questioned the type of
ornamental lighting. Ilould it be scattered, shielded, mercury
vapor? Mr. Lee said the city has worked with the Electric
Company to provide ornamental high pressure, sodium, shielded
lighting. Tom Fellin on Janesville Road lives within 300' of the
development and feels someone should look at the area south of
him -- wetlands which will be affected by the zoning change. Are
we setting a precedent? Mr. Patch responded that a majoritv of

for the sake of developing and he doesn't think we need
apartments or a mall. He hopes from what he is hearing tonight
isn't "cut and dried". Mr. Christianson, a resident commented
that in the spirit of "free enterprise", the Parkland Mall has
had enough tenure in Muskego. Most homeowners feel we should
have a national chain to satisfy the needs of the people. People
want a convenient place to shop. Chairman Salentine said the

Mr. Joe Barak of Kingston Drive is all in favor of this

half of her life -- what's the rush? Chairman Salentine
responded that this is the first developer in a very long time to
consider developing the whole 145 acres to try to solve the image
problem. We have other small developments of 10 to 20 lots --
