OLD BUSINESS
NEW BUSINESS
Possible Sale of a Portion of Woods Road Conservation Land (Tax Key # 2227.989.012)
Planning Manager Trzebiatowski presented the memo and maps of the property. He said the
owner needs this portion of land in order to split her lot into two. The City has no plans for this
small sliver of conservation land. Manager Trzebiatowski stated the owner should be solely
responsible for the survey costs in order to move forward.
Mr. Miller made a motion to approve the Sale of a Portion of Woods Road Conservation
Land. Ald. Terrence seconded. Motion was approved unanimously.
Discuss Conservation Preservation on the Golla Property (Tax Key # 2222.986)
Mr. Zagar presented the memo and maps to the Committee. Planner Trzebiatowski explained
the three options, listed in the memo, available to the Committee. Mr. Mark Golla spoke on
behalf of the family stating they were here for ideas about what the City may be interested in
doing with the land. He said the family had not made a decision on whether or not to sell part
of this parcel. Mr. Miller stated this is an awesome piece of conservation land that he strongly
suggested the City obtain if possible. Mr. Golla mentioned his only concern was drainage and
wetlands that increase with every passing year. He does not want that to be a problem in the
future for his existing property or his son’s if they sell a portion to the City.
Ald. Terrence made a motion to move forward with the three options (in order)
presented in the memo. Ms. Schroeder seconded. Motion was approved unanimously.
Gregg Klann Memorial Proposal
Mr. Young talked about the Muskego Pickleball program and about Mr. Klann’s life and
dedication to pickleball and many other Muskego volunteer programs. The Recreation
Department would like to name a pickleball court at Lion’s Park in his honor, along with a
memorial bench and possibly a plaque.
Ald. Terrence made a motion to approve the Gregg Klann Memorial Proposal as
presented. Mr. Bughman seconded. Motion was approved unanimously.
