ROLL CALL Present: Alderpersons Kubacki and Engelhardt; Scott Kroeger, Director of Public Works and Development Absent: Alderpersons Hammel and Terrence STATEMENT OF PUBLIC NOTICE The meeting was posted in accordance with open meeting laws on August 13, 2021.

STATUS OF PROJECTS Discussion update. No formal action may be taken on any of the following: Great Water Alliance Director Kroeger stated that work has ceased on Moorland Road while three crews work to get through a portion of Durham Drive before school starts. Then work will resume on Moorland Road. He reminded everyone to refer to the website for more information as this is not a City project. Hillendale Reconstruction Director Kroeger stated all ditches have been graded. Tomorrow (Aug 18th) the first layer of 2” binder will be put down, followed by the second layer at the end of the week, weather dependent. This is for Phase 1 only (College Ave to Tans Dr). The week of Aug 23rd, the restoration work will begin in Phase 1. Phase 2 (Tans Dr to Racine Ave) will have their first 2” binder layer down by mid-Sept with the second layer to follow. Then a full final 2” surface layer will be put down from College Ave to Racine Ave. Following that, the restoration will begin in the Phase 2 area. The goal is to have all the pavement completed by October 1, 2021. Numerous audience members asked to speak at this time regarding various complaints or 3 requests about the Hillendale project. Director Kroeger and the Committee agreed to allow them to speak and gave feedback to each individual. Melanie Tobin-Sinner at W194S6961 Hillendale was unhappy about the gas lines being moved twice and her ditch is lower than expected. She feels the website is not updated frequently enough with current information. Expressed concern that the City cares more about the school than the residents who live there full time. Andy McKee at W194S7140 Hillendale stated he still has low hanging wires, driveway damage, ditches deeper than expected and a tree that was damaged by a bucket truck that will probably die. His larger complaint was about the inconsiderate workers and their foul language around his family, the daily messes they leave behind, and constantly blocking driveways. Connie Laughlin at W195S7147 Maple Ct stated her largest concern was lack of communication via mailed letters or the website. Suggested weekly updates. Nick Murphy at W191S6417 Hillendale stated 6’ of his driveway was destroyed along with $10,000 worth of electrical damage due to careless workers who ripped the utility wires off his house. Bob Seefeldt at W193S6794 Hillendale is part of Phase 2, asked about being notified before driveways were poured. Also was questioning the current and future traffic patterns. Ald. Engelhardt expressed his appreciation for the patience of the residents on Hillendale. He understands that most complaint calls are currently received by City Hall personnel and that overall we will work on better communication via our website. Mr. Seefeldt returned to state Jennifer Pemble at W193S6776 Hillendale was unable to attend but had concerns about her berm and blue spruce tree. He asked Director Kroeger if someone could reach out to her on the jobsite. Police Chief Updates Not present. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Discussion update and possible action may be taken on any or all of the following: Request for No Parking Signs – Parkland Avenue (North of Janesville – Briargate Lane) Due to Alderperson Terrence’s absence, the Committee agreed to table this request. Alderperson Engelhardt made a motion to table the Request for No Parking Signs – Parkland Avenue. Alderperson Kubacki seconded. Motion Passed 2 in favor. NEW BUSINESS Discussion update and possible action may be taken on any or all of the following: Mallard Ridge - Public Improvements Approval Director Kroeger stated this is a 45 lot subdivision by Kaerek Homes that will have sewer, storm and water. 4 Alderperson Kubacki made a motion to approve the Mallard Ridge - Public Improvements. Alderperson Engelhardt seconded. Motion Passed 2 in favor. Presbyterian Homes - Public Improvements Approval Director Kroeger stated this is a senior living facility located on the old Tess Corners Elementary site. It will have an access point off of Janesville Road. It will also have private sewer and public water, along with private storm sewer and private storm water ponds. Alderperson Kubacki made a motion to approve the Presbyterian Homes - Public Improvements. Alderperson Engelhardt seconded. Motion Passed 2 in favor. Request for Speed Limit Change on Ryan Drive from Groveway to North Cape Road Director Kroeger stated this was brought forward by Alderperson Madden to make the whole road 25 MPH. Ryan Drive is currently split between 25 MPH and 35 MPH. He stated that current and future development will populate the area further. Accidents have been minimal and occurred mostly at the intersection of Ryan Drive and North Cape Road. Alderperson Madden stated this has nothing to do with speed, but more with safety due to the hills and numerous walkers in the area. Director Kroeger reminded the Committee this will continue onto Common Council for final approval. Alderperson Engelhardt made a motion to approve the Request for Speed Limit Change on Ryan Drive from Groveway to North Cape Road. Alderperson Kubacki seconded. Motion Passed 2 in favor. NEW BUSINESS PLACED ON FILE (The following items have been placed on file for staff review. Upon completion of review, staff will submit a supplement detailing options and possible course of action to committee members.) COMMUNICATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS AS AUTHORIZED BY LAW ADJOURNMENT Alderperson Kubacki made a motion to adjourn at 6:37 PM. Alderperson Engelhardt seconded. Motion Passed 2 in favor. Respectfully Submitted, Wendy Fredlund Recording Secretary 5 CITY OF MUSKEGO Staff Report to Public Works and Safety Committee To: Public Work and Safety Committee From: Scott Kroeger, PE, PLS, Public Works and Development Director Subject: Request for no parking signs along Parkland Drive Date: May 18, 2021 A request has been made to the Public Work and Safety Committee to install no parking signs along one side of Parkland Drive. The parking restrictions would be on one side of the road only. Currently, there is no parking restrictions on Parkland Drive. The request was for Parkland Drive north of Janesville Road. I have attached a map for your review. I put some notes on the plan as well. Please remember, once “No Parking” signs go up they affect all the residents on that road. Holidays, graduations, retirements, and similar parties/events could be affected by these signs. Recommendation for Action by the Committee: • The Committee should listen to all the discussion and make a recommendation. • Again “No Parking” signs go up they affect all people on that road. Holidays, graduations, retirements, and similar parties/events could be affected by these signs. • It is important to make sure all residents along Parkland Drive are aware of these potential parking restrictions. • A defined “No Parking” limit needs to be determined. Also “No Parking” signs should only be on one side of the street. 6 7 CITY OF MUSKEGO Staff Report to Public Works and Safety Committee To: Public Works and Safety Committee From: Scott Kroeger, PE, PLS, Public Works and Development Director Subject: Hilmer’s ROW Waiver Request Date: September 21, 2021 The Hilmer’s are requesting a Right of Way (ROW) waiver request from the City of Muskego Public Works and Safety Committee. I have attached a conceptual land division plan for the Hilmer’s and their request for this waiver. This piece of property is located at the end of Crystal Drive off of Muskego Dam Road. The property will back up against Crystal Lake. Please be aware the land that Hilmer’s are purchasing was once part of a larger development at one time. The development went quite far through the process but was never constructed. The Hilmer’s will be dedicating roadway as part of their land division. The Hilmer’s are requested to delay the public improvements (base course, asphalt pavement, storm sewer, and curb and gutter) of a road dedication until an entire development gets constructed. The waiver is from municipal code 392-16. Due to economies of scale, it makes more financial sense to do this if an entire development goes in rather than just 87 feet. The Hilmer’s will pay their share/percentage once the additional roads are developed/built. Planning and Engineering have had several discussions with the Hilmers on their request. City staff feels this is an acceptable request to be made. Please be aware a CSM/land division will be required and needs approval at Plan Commission and Common Council. A note will be required on the CSM stating the Hilmer’s or owner of this property will be required to pay for their share of the road improvements. The Hilmer’s plan is to construct their driveway off the existing temporary cul de sac at the end of Crystal Drive to serve their home. Recommendation for Action by the Committee: The committee should approve the Hilmer’s ROW waiver request. 8 9 10 CITY OF MUSKEGO Staff Report to Public Works and Safety Committee To: Public Works and Safety Committee From: Scott Kroeger, PE, PLS, Public Works and Development Director Subject: Discussion on Martin Drive Rec. Trail from Lannon Drive to Oakhill Trail Date: September 21, 2021 The City of Muskego Public Works and Safety Committee has received a request from Alderperson Terrence to discuss putting a recreational trail along Martin Drive from Lannon Drive to Oakhill Trail to improve pedestrian safety. During the Kirkland Crossing rezoning, several residents expressed concern of additional traffic on Martin Drive. In 2016, the City of Muskego put together an RFP for a preliminary design and cost for a recreational trail along Martin Drive. The Public Works Committee decided to not move forward with the RFP in June of 2016. (I have attached the concept plan, RFP, and Public Works Meeting from 2016). Over the last couple of years, the focus of the Common Council has been on road improvements rather than additional trails. A new trail was put on Baylane Drive during the road reconstruction but a new trail was not put on Hillendale Drive during the road reconstruction. If the committee wants to move forward with a trail, the project can be placed on a Capital Project for 2023. Recommendation for Action by the Committee: The committee needs to decide on whether or not they would like to put this item on for a Capital Project in 2023. 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 CITY OF MUSKEGO Staff Report to Public Works and Safety Committee To: Public Works and Safety Committee From: Scott Kroeger, PE, PLS, Public Works and Development Director Subject: Request for Stop Signs at Fairway Lane, Brookview Court, and Old Course Way at Ryan Drive Date: September 21, 2021 The City of Muskego Public Works and Safety Committee has received a request from Alderperson Madden to discuss putting stop signs at the intersections of Fairway Lane, Brookview Court, and Old Course Way at Ryan Drive. From an engineering standpoint, each of these roads should have a Stop Sign at Ryan Drive. It should have been a requirement at the time of the development. The traffic along Ryan Drive has increased due to Muskego Lakes Estates development. The traffic will increase as more development takes place on Ryan Drive. Recommendation for Action by the Committee: The committee should approve stop signs at the intersections of Fairway Lane, Brookview Court, and Old Course Way at Ryan Drive. 18 19
