CITY OF MUSKEGO Staff Report to Council April 10, 2012 Meeting To: Common Council From: Jeff Muenkel, AICP Subject: Ordinances #1353 & #1354 - EA Exclusive Agricultural Zoning District & Text Changes Date: April 3, 2012 Background Information: The Planning Commission took into consideration the few options we have with moving forward on the EA zoning ordinance at their March 6, 2012 meeting. Ultimately the Planning Commission unanimously agreed that it would be best for the city to simply remove the EA zoning district and associated EA zoning text at this time which would switch all the landowners with the EA zoning District to the A-1 Zoning District. Staff agrees with this recommendation and recommends the same. If Council agrees the Council should move forward by defeating Ordinance #1353 and adopting Ordinance #1354. Throughout this past year staff has sent out multiple notices to all affected landowners as well as had many personal discussions on what all this means. In all, staff has he ld off bringing the final determination back to Council these past months as we ironed out everything with a couple more landowners. In the end, staff now does not have any objections from landowners at this time and recommends Council follow the above recommendation with the ordinances. Previous Memo Information from The Council’s January 10, 2012 Meeting Staff met with COW back on May 24, 2011 to discuss changes in the way State Preservation Tax Credits are being administered now and how this affects the City’s EA Exclusive Agricultural Zoning District. At that meeting COW directed staff to come back with a few ordinance options once the State first determined if they were going to remove the EA District conversion fee (fee charged to property owners who convert their parcel from the EA zoning district to another zoning district). The state has removed that conversion fee and the options for the city are now presented herein. Council wanted to provide the various options at a public hearing and then determine the best direction after receiving this input. Please note that tonight we will just be accomplishing the first readings of the ordinances. The changes are subject to recommendation by the Plan Commission prior to final action by Council in February. To sum the whole story up: The City’s EA zoning district was put in place in the early 1980s solely to allow property owners to get State of Wisconsin agricultural preservation tax credits. Since this time the city has allowed owners to rezone out of the EA District to the comparable A-1 District at their leisure. In most cases owners requested this rezoning to allow a smaller parcel to be split off or because they didn’t need the tax credits and they wanted a legal conforming parcel (The EA zoning district requires parcel sizes of 35 acres to be conforming while the A-1 zoning district only requires 2.75 acres). The State of Wisconsin changed the requirements for an owner to receive agricultural tax credits this past year. Instead of simply being locally zoned EA and applying for the credits you would now have to: 1. Be locally zoned EA; 2. The municipality would have to have a State certified new EA zoning text in place, and; 3. The property would have to be approved in the Waukesha County’s Farmland Preservation plan as a designated Farmland Preservation Area (note: many requirements apply to qualify). This brings us to tonight where we have allowed various options to be reviewed by Council based on the public hearing info we receive. As you will see b elow the Council has the ability to keeps things as is, keep opportunities for owners to possibly still acquire future tax credits, or remove the EA zoning district and text and let owners come back in the future if they are able to properly assemble the requirements for future tax credits. Options for the City (Note: A letter was sent to all property owners noting the following scenarios prior to the public hearing): 1. Leave all ordinances and zoning districts the same as today – This would leave the existing EA zoning district and EA zoning ordinance text “as is” today. Chances for yearly preservation tax credits would not be allowed since the State now requires many different qualifications to receive such credits including having a new model EA zoning or dinance text. To accomplish this scenario we would defeat ordinances # 1353 & #1354. 2. Adopt ordinance language for EA zoned parcels – The State has a new model ordinance for EA zoned parcels that the City could adopt. The language is a bit more restrictive in nature than what exists today. Adopting this language could then make parcel owners eligible, in the future, for State preservation tax credits. However, it should be noted that a parcel owner would have to meet many more obligations through Waukesha C ounty and the State of Wisconsin before being able to receive such tax credits. Obligations would include becoming a Primary or Secondary Farmland Preservation zone in the County’s new Farmland Preservation Plan. Becoming such an area requires numerous qualifications including committing the parcels of land to farmland for at least 15 years and having contiguous blocks of farmland of at least 1,000 contiguous acres, among other requirements. To accomplish this scenario we would adopt ordinance # 1353 & defeat ordinance #1354. 3. Remove the existing EA zoning ordinance and change any parcels that have the EA zoning district to the A-1 Agricultural zoning district – This option would allow farmers to continue all farming practices they currently practice today on their EA zoned lands. Further this would also allow parcel owners to be able to break up future parcels at 2.75 acres in size without seeking out their own rezoning as the current EA zoning district requires minimum parcel sizes of at least 35 acres. To accomplish this scenario we would defeat ordinance # 1353 & adopt ordinance #1354. Staff Discussion: As discussed at the COW meeting last summer staff feels that the best way to go for the future of Muskego is to simply remove the EA zoning district and rezone al the parcels to the A-1 zoning district which is Option #3 above. The various reasons supporting this are as follows: The A-1 zoning district allows the same abilities and practices that the EA zoning district does today. The A-1 zoning district will allow the city to have more parcels that are legal conforming. The EA district has many parcels that were arbitrarily zoned EA back in the 1980s that are still legal nonconforming today as the EA zoning minimum parcel size requirement is 35 acres while the A-1 district minimum parcel size is 2.75 acres. The change will allow parcel owners to more easily divide their parcels for family land divisions without a future rezoning. The chances of an owner getting their lands included in Waukesha County’s F armland Preservation Plan as a designated farmland preservation area is very slim. One owner would not be able to accomplish this in Muskego as it would have to be a group of owners. The requirement to become designated states that an area would have to be contiguous blocks of at least 1,000 acres. Further all owners would have to agree to commit their parcels to farmland for at least 15 years. If owners would get their properties included in the Waukesha County Farmland Preservation Plan in the future the City could always review re-creating an EA zoning district for those specified lands. Only small portions of three towns in Waukesha County (Town of Oconomowoc, Town of Eagle, and Town of Ottawa) are still designated in the County’s Farmland Preservation Plan as a farmland preservation area. The City of Muskego plans future land uses via their 2020 Comprehensive Plan and zones lands based on current land uses. We shouldn’t be zoning for one small specific area as a whole for the overall EA District. The City of Muskego still promotes agricultural preservation as part of the 2020 Comprehensive Plan “Conservation Preservation Desired Development Area” on the adopted 2020 Land Use Map.

Commissioner Burke made a motion to ADOPT Resolution 051-2011. Commissioner Stinebaugh seconded. Director Muenkel explained the petitioner is requesting approval for a preliminary plat for the Crystal Cove Subdivision. The proposal includes 12 single family lots and 3 outlots off Crystal Drive. The area is zoned RS-2 Suburban Residence District, which allows parcels of 40,000 square feet and 220 feet in minimum average width. There is a 3 acre parcel on the far southern portion of this development that is zoned EA. This area may be rezoned to RS-2 also and would need to be completed before the final plat is recorded. The 2020 Comprehensive Plan shows this area as Rural Density Residential, which requires lots to be no smaller than 88,989 square feet. The proposal meets the requirement. Five of the lots to the north are larger lots up to 13 acres in size and the lots by the lake are 2-2 ½ acres. A preliminary grading and roadway plan has been submitted to the engineering department. The final grading plan will need to pay special attention to how the runoff will be maintained to the east and southeast. Curb and gutter are required for this development unless the requirement is waved by the Public Works Committee. Staff recommends approval. Harold DeBack, owner of the property, explained he has farmed the land for the past 62 years, and it is time to move on. Plan Commission Agenda, continued March 6, 2012 PAGE 4 Bill Carity, developer, explained since the last time they came to Plan Commission for conceptual review they have been busy with the property. Mr. DeBack has purchased 3 acres to connect to Crystal Drive. The wetlands have been delineated, soil borings were completed to determine septic system locations, and geotechnical engineering has been done to study the ground water. There are 5 lots off the lake that range in size from 8-13 acres, and 7 lots on the lake at 2 acres or greater in size. Lots 9 and 10 on the lake are not able to have septic systems. They have met with the County for approval for two off site septic locations in an outlot. The systems will be separate with long laterals running from the house to the septic system. A grading plan has been created taking into consideration storm water management and ground water. There will be no wet ponds, but will include rain gardens and dry ponds. Commissioner Noah questioned how the two septic systems in the outlot will be maintained. Mr. Carity explained lots 9 and 10 will have an undividable 50% ownership of outlot 1. One mound system will be dedicated to each lot. The systems will be completely separate. There will be an agreement for easements and language to require the property owners of lots 9 and 10 to maintain the outlot. Commissioner Stinebaugh stated he likes this plat and feels it fits the area. Tony LaLicata, S110 W19506 Muskego Dam Drive, requested under public comment to speak. Mr. LaLicata explained he lives on the same side of the lake, and he has reviewed and approves of the plan. Mayor Chiaverotti noted that she did not see the first plans but this plan looks wonderful. Commissioner Noah questioned if there were any comments or concerns that came in to staff regarding this submittal. Director Muenkel stated there were not. Director Muenkel added that in the past one of the concerns from residents in this area was water run-off. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 051-2012 was ADOPTED unanimously. RESOLUTION #P.C. 003-2012 – Recommendation to Common Council to rezone a property from A-1 – Agricultural District to RC-1 – Country Residence District for the Schaumberg property located in the NE, SE, & SW ¼ of Section 21 (Tax Key 2241.997 / W181 S9102 Park er Drive). Commissioner Stinebaugh made a motion to ADOPT Resolution #P.C.003-2012. Commissioner Burke seconded. Director Muenkel explained Richard and Neome Schaumberg are requesting a rezoning for their property along Parker Drive from A-1 Agricultural District to RC-1 Country Residence District for a possible future land division. The proposed zoning is already found on some adjacent properties. The 2020 Comprehensive Plan identifies this property as Rural Density Residential and any lots would need to be at least 88,898 square feet in size or greater. CSM approval would still be needed for a future land division. Director Muenkel noted a public hearing was held and no one spoke. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 003-2012 was ADOPTED unanimously. RESOLUTION #P.C. 004-2012 - Recommendation to Common Council to amend the Chapter 17 Zoning Code and Zoning Map of the City of Muskego relating to the EA Exclusive Agricultural District text and district mapping. Commissioner Stinebaugh made a motion to ADOPT Resolution #P.C. 004-2012. Commissioner Jacques seconded. Director Muenkel explained since May 24, 2011 he has been discussing this issue with Council. The EA zoning district was put in place in the 1980s to allow property owners to get State of WI agricultural preservation tax credits. The state is changing the way the Preservation Tax Credits are being handled. (The State also removed the EA zoning conversion fee that charged a per acre fee when changing from EA zoning.) The State changed the requirements for an owner to receive agricultural tax Plan Commission Agenda, continued March 6, 2012 PAGE 5 credits this past year. The new requirements include being locally zoned EA, the municipality must have State certified new EA zoning text in place, and the property must be approved in the Waukesha County Farmland Preservation plan; which has many requirements to qualify including committing the parcels of land to farmland for at least 15 years and having blocks of farmland of at least 1,000 contiguous acres. The options for the City are:  Leave all ordinances and zoning districts the same – Preservation tax credits would not be allowed because the State requires new EA zoning text.  Adopt ordinance language for EA zoning parcels – Property owners would be eligible for preservation tax credits if they could meet the County and State’s new requirements (most properties would not be able to qualify).  Remove the existing EA zoning ordinance and change parcels to A-1 Agricultural zoning district – farms could continue to farm their property and would allow property owners to break off future parcels to 2.75 acres without a rezoning. Letters were sent to the affected property owners for their opinions and to see who was taking the preservation tax credit. A public hearing was held where a couple people spoke. One person requested they be rezoned to A-1 and another person said they wanted the property to remain EA because that is the way it’s always been. All other farmers that gave comments said they wanted to go to A-1 zoning. Staff is recommending that the Resolution be amended that Plan Commission recommends Common Council defeat Council Ordinance #1353 and approve Ordinance #1354 and to add BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the City should look favorably on a landowners’ future zoning petition should they request to reinstate the EA zoning if they have received approval from the State of Wisconsin and Waukesha County as a qualifying designated agricultural preservation area. Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to amend Resolution #P.C. 004-2012 per staff recommendation. Ald. Borgman seconded. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 004-2012 was AMENDED unanimously. Upon a roll call vote, AMENDED Resolution #P.C. 004-2012 was ADOPTED unanimously. RESOLUTION #P.C. 005-2012 - Recommendation to Common Council to amend Chapter 17 Zoning Code of the City of Muskego (Sections 4.03, 8.01, 8.38, 9.17, 14.03, 14.06, 15.05, & 16.09). Commissioner Jacques made a motion to ADOPT Resolution #P.C. 005-2012. Commissioner Stinebaugh seconded. Director Muenkel explained during the year staff puts together code changes due to clarifications, state code changes, or board requests and brings them forward all at once. Included in these changes are:  Section 4.03 – This change was requested by the CDA to require property owners who receive grants and loans from the City to maintain their improvements in perpetuity. This change allows staff to follow up with letters and citations.  Section 16.09(3) – This ordinance will allow more flexibility in electronic message center displays. The change will give leeway to businesses to allow a 3 second delay instead of 5 seconds. The signs will also be allowed to scroll but not continuously. The signs must still follow all other sign requirements for size and location. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 005-2012 was ADOPTED unanimously. RESOLUTION #P.C. 006-2012 - Renewal of a Conditional Use Grant for the purpose of continued mining and processing of sand and gravel, and the extension of use of an asphalt plant for Payne & Dolan in the NE ¼ and SE ¼ of Section 13 (Tax Key 2230.996 / W217 S8425 Crowbar Road). Commissioner Stinebaugh made a motion to ADOPT Resolution #P.C. 006- 2012. Commissioner Burke seconded. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 006-2012 was ADOPTED unanimously. RESOLUTION #P.C. 018-2012 – Approval of a Conditional Use Grant for Midwest Auto Doctor for auto sales at the property located in the NW ¼ of Section 16 (Tax Key No. 2221.016 / S81 Plan Commission Agenda, continued March 6, 2012 PAGE 6 W18510 Gemini Drive). Commissioner Stinebaugh made a motion to ADOPT Resolution #P.C. 018-2012. Commissioner Burke seconded. Commissioner Hulbert questioned what happens if the auto sales business does well and needs to move to space outside or if a new business comes into this space. Director Muenkel explained there would need to be an amendment to the conditional use grant and any new business would need a business registration permit.

NEW BUSINESS Marketing Plan Review A power point presentation on the components and findings of the marketing plan thus far was given by Ms. Errin Welty and Mr. Brandon Rutz. They are about a month from completion of the study. CDA members were in receipt of the printed document. They briefly reviewed the follow ing issues:  Demographics of Muskego; pointing out parts of Muskego that are excellent;  Identification and profiling of five primary study areas ; each area has unique strengths and something to offer and they will try and build on it;  Lack of restaurants in the area such as Olive Garden, Fridays; the major chains are looking for locations where they have customers for morning, lunch and dinner;  Quantitative analysis which included transportation, labor force, income, population growth, economy, education;  Trade areas; retail spending;  Stakeholder interviews; In response to Ald. Borgman’s inquiry if they do exit interviews, they said they are in the process now of doing a couple. Found sewer connection costs for those with multi- tenant buildings to be an issue with businesses.  Lack of recognition for existing businesses;  Missing an office park; possible location Moorland Road corridor;  Incentives to do business referrals from community residents/employees of established businesses;  How to measure results; the goals and values of the marketing program. CDA Minutes, February 8, 2012 2 Commissioners responded to the presentation with discussion on an office park, restaurants, streetscaping impact, trail connectivity, traffic patterns, downtown area. Additional recommendations and concerns of t he Commissioners included;  What are some core businesses that they could attract;  Find out how streetscaping and new roads foster economic development;  Obtaining entities that will give the high daytime traffic count,;  Putting resources where they would do the most good, where would they have the committee emphasis first, creating a downtown area;  Touch on people’s perception of space, what is repulsive to peopl e, what is attractive to people;  In the recommendations, why are some high, some medium, and some low;? It was her perspective to implement them easily. They could be rearranged to how the Commissioners rate the priority.  Quantify the ROI using taxes or what will affect the daytime traffic count;  Measure the recommendations against each other, using objective data to weight the options, Commissioners placing a value dollar on the item to accomplish it,  A chart ranking the value of daytime employment, taxes, connectivity, what draws businesses to a community;  The trade area to see the overlap in industries, competitiveness;  Ability to get the table data to reflect Muskego level rather than the county level;  Current economic situation considered for location of restaurants, is there an advantage.. The presentation was concluded at 7:26 p.m. Vice-Chairman Lefebvre thanked them on behalf of the Commissioners. Mill Valley Redevelopment District Discussion Executive Director Muenkel stated it wasn’t a priority. He did, however, touch base with the New Berlin Community Development Director. They still want to pursue Mill Valley, but they are looking to do it on their own. He did not see anything happening this year so the Commissioners have time to go over the plan. Vice-chairman Lefebvre shared that he had recently attended a planning meeting in New Berlin and nothing was mentioned about sewer.

City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 1 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Foreword Parks and conservation lands are valuable attributes of a community. Outdoor recreation contributes to the mental and physical well-being of the community’s citizens. Developed park lands provide areas for active recreation, entertainment, and education. Conservation lands provide natural resource preservation, wildlife habitat, outdoor education and passive recreational activities. Parks and conservation areas both provide transition and separation from more intensively developed lands. Objectives The objectives of the City of Muskego Park and Conservation Plan are to: Provide for quality active and passive outdoor recreational opportunities of various kinds to all current and future Muskego residents of all ages and abilities Evaluate how existing public recreation facilities address the present and future needs of the people of Muskego Identify areas where existing recreation facilities are inadequate to serve the present and future needs of the people of Muskego Develop a plan of action to meet both the current and future recreational demands of the public Inventory Muskego’s natural resource base Evaluate and prioritize lands of environmental significance, scenic views, and trail connectivity to be considered for preservation and provide strategies to preserve them Provide the City of Muskego with a period of eligibility for cost sharing assistance through the Federal and State grant programs. Parks and Recreation Department Administration The Parks and Recreation Department staff is directly responsible for park development, maintenance and operations, as well as the administration of all municipal recreation programs. The Parks and Recreation Department also oversees two public access cable channels and the Muskego Historical Society activities. The Parks and Recreation Director heads the Department. The Parks Supervisor, Recreation Program Manager, and Park and Recreation Secretary report to the Director. In 2009, staff was reduced two full time positions and four seasonal positions. Currently just one full time Parks Maintenance Worker and a reduced staff of seasonal maintenance workers are under the direction of the Parks Supervisor. Seasonal recreation program instructors are staff to the Recreation Program Manager. The Parks and Recreation Director reports to the Mayor and Common Council, and provides staff support to the Parks and Recreation Board. The City of Muskego Parks and Recreation Board is composed of six citizens and one Common Council member and is advisory to the Common Council. Administration of the Conservation Program The Community Development Department is responsible for conservation planning and DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 2 management in the City of Muskego. Codes and land use planning objectives are implemented to guide residential and commercial developments in a manner that also strives to preserve environmentally significant lands and other open spaces. The department also establishes land acquisition priorities and land management objectives. The Community Development Department Director oversees the Planning, Building, and Conservation Divisions of the Department. The Conservation Coordinator, who also serves as the City Forester, reports to the Director and is responsible for forestry, lakes, and conservation projects. The Conservation Coordinator oversees a half-time Conservation Technician who assists in associated fieldwork and office duties. Some conservation fieldwork is also completed with the assistance of the Public Works Department and Parks and Recreation Department. The Conservation Coordinator serves as staff support to the Conservation Commission. The Conservation Commission is composed of six citizens and one Common Council member and makes recommendations to the Planning Commission and Common Council on matters concerning urban forestry and conservation. DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 3 Chapter 2 COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT Geography The City of Muskego is located in southeastern Waukesha County, and encompasses 23,023 acres of land, or approximately 35.8 square miles. The city is bounded to the west by the Town of Vernon and Village of Big Bend, to the north by the City of New Berlin, to the east by the Village of Hales Corners and City of Franklin, and to the south by the Town of Norway. The topography of Muskego was largely formed by the Lake Michigan Lobe of the Wisconsin glaciation event more than ten thousand years ago during the Pleistocene Epoch. While the majority of the community has the flatter topography of outwash plains, the northwestern portion of the city contains the rolling topography of moraines and drumlins. Water Resources Muskego has four major water bodies within its civil boundaries. Big Muskego Lake is a shallow 2,260-acre lake that is fringed with wetlands and encompasses islands of cattail marsh. Bass Bay is a 100-acre connected embayment of Big Muskego Lake and has a deeper basin typical of other glacially formed kettle lakes in the region. Recent rehabilitation efforts have enhanced the water quality, plant diversity, and fish and wildlife habitat of both Bass Bay and Big Muskego Lake. Little Muskego Lake, which covers 506 acres, contains shallow areas as well as a deeper basin that reaches 65 feet in depth. Lake Denoon, which is partially located in the Town of Norway, is a kettle lake covering 162 acres with a maximum depth of 55 feet. Significant tributaries in the watershed include Jewel Creek, which flows into Little Muskego Lake, Muskego Creek (also locally known as Pilak Creek), which flows from Little Muskego Lake to Big Muskego Lake, and Muskego Canal, which is the outlet of Big Muskego Lake. Tess Corners Creek is located in the northeast part of the city. Numerous smaller surface water bodies are distributed throughout the community. Muskego is located along a sub-continental divide, wherein waters to the east of the divide flow towards Lake Michigan and the Atlantic Ocean Basin, and lands to the west of the divide flow towards the Gulf of Mexico. The city’s four major lakes drain into the Gulf of Mexico via the Fox River, Illinois River, and Mississippi River. Tess Corners Creek is in the Root River watershed that ultimately drains into the Atlantic Ocean via the Great Lakes. Soils Soil characteristics vary greatly within the community but generally fall into three soil associations (or types). The soils of the northwestern portion of the city are well drained soils derived from glacial till. Soils surrounding Big Muskego Lake are poorly drained to well-drained soils formed in shallow glacial lakebeds. Soils in the remainder of the city are well drained to somewhat poorly-drained and are derived from glacial till. Most soils in the city have a relatively high clay component and some have a high content of organic material. Many soils in the area have severe limitations for building structures and the installation and operation of on-site wastewater treatment systems. Soil characteristics and their suitability for development are discussed in greater detail in Southeastern Wisconsin DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 4 Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC) Planning Report No. 8, Soils of Southeastern Wisconsin, and in the Soil Conservation Service Soils Survey of Waukesha County, Wisconsin. Regionally Identified Environmental Lands The two sections that follow describe environmentally significant areas within Muskego that have been identified by the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC). More discussion of environmentally significant lands in Muskego is presented in Chapter 4 of this Plan. A more thorough description of plant coverage within Muskego is detailed in Vegetation and Ecological Conditions of the City of Muskego System: Opportunities for Restoration and Management – which was developed as a foundation for and component of the city’s original conservation document: City of Muskego Conservation Plan (2001). Environmental Corridors and Isolated Natural Resource Areas Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC) has identified and delineated areas in the region which contain concentrations of natural resource and resource-related amenities. Environmental corridors and isolated natural resource areas contain almost all of the remaining high-value wetlands, woodlands, wildlife habitat areas, major surface waters, and delineated floodlands and shorelands. Primary environmental corridors are generally larger contiguous areas of such lands, usually along major surface waters. Secondary environmental corridors are shorter, narrower contiguous areas of environmentally significant lands. Isolated natural resource areas are smaller concentrations of natural resource features. The protection and preservation of such areas in essentially natural, open uses is considered by SEWRPC to be critical to maintaining both the ecological balance and natural beauty of the region. Consideration of these environmentally significant lands is therefore important in the acquisition and development of conservation and park lands. The SEWRPC-identified environmentally significant lands within Muskego are shown on Map 1. Natural Areas and Critical Species Habitat Sites SEWRPC also undertook the task of identifying all of the high quality natural areas and critical species habitats remaining in the seven-county region. This inventory, as well as a recommended plan for the management and protection of these areas, is detailed in SEWRPC Planning Report No. 42, A Regional Natural Areas and Critical Species Habitat Protection and Management Plan for Southeastern Wisconsin (1997).1 Natural areas are defined as tracts of land or water so little modified by human activity, or sufficiently recovered from the effects of such activity, that they contain intact native plant and animal communities believed to be representative of the landscape before European settlement. Natural areas are classified into one of the following three categories: natural areas of statewide or greater significance (NA-1); natural areas of countywide or regional significance (NA-2); or natural areas of local significance (NA-3). Classification into one of these three categories is based upon consideration of the diversity of plant and animal species and community types present as well as size, uniqueness, extent of disturbances, and educational value. 1 This plan was updated by SEWRPC in December 2010. DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 5 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 6 Critical species habitat sites (CSH) are identified by SEWRPC as areas that support rare, threatened, or endangered plant or animal species. These sites are separately identified when they lie outside of the natural areas described above. Preservation of natural areas and critical species habitat areas are an important consideration in the planning of parks and conservation lands. Inventoried natural areas and critical species habitat areas within the City of Muskego are summarized in Figure 1 and depicted on Map 2.

DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 7 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 8 Population The 2010 Census showed the official population of Muskego as 24,168. This represents an 13.0% increase since 2000, and a 43.7% increase since 1990. The City of Muskego’s population growth is illustrated in Figure 2. Muskego is part of Waukesha County which had a 2010 population of 383,864. Muskego represents 6% of the county’s population while also comprising 6% of the land area. Located approximately twelve miles from downtown Milwaukee, Muskego is considered to be within the socio-economic influence of the Southeastern Wisconsin region. This region, which includes Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Walworth, Washington, and Waukesha Counties, has a 2010 population of 1,801,688. 1349 1318 1294 1576 2495 4157 8888 11573 15277 168 0 5000 10000 15000 20000 25000 30000 1900 1910 1920 1930 1940 1950 1960 1970 1980 19 Po p u l a t i o n Figure 2: City of Muskego Population Source: US Census Bureau and Wisconsin Department of Administration. Transportation The City of Muskego is well connected to the region. Interstate 43 runs just north of the city, connecting Milwaukee to Beloit. County Trunk Highway (CTH) L, also known as Janesville Road, is a highway serving the northern half of Muskego, running in a southwest to northeast direction and into Milwaukee County. STH 36 (Loomis Road) is a four-lane highway in southeastern Muskego that also connects to Milwaukee. CTH HH, also known as College Avenue, forms much of the city’s northern border. CTH O (Moorland Road) connects the north central part of the city to Interstate 43. CTH OO (North Cape Road) runs in a north-south direction on the city’s east side. CTH Y (Racine Avenue) runs in a north-south direction through the west-central part of the community. Land Uses Residential Development: The City of Muskego boasts a wide variety of residential housing. Residential land uses range from low density country estates, to clustered planned unit development, to high density lake homes and condominiums. DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 9 Commercial Development: Commercial uses in the City of Muskego are generally found in three areas: Janesville Road, including the intensely developed Tess Corners area, the Moorland Road intersection, and Downtown, located in the north-central neighborhood Racine Avenue between Woods Road and College Avenue, located in the north- central and south-central neighborhoods, and Loomis Road/Drive near North Cape Road, referred to as the Durham Hill area, located in the southeast neighborhood. While there are other scattered commercial properties throughout the community, the three locations identified above represent the bulk of commercial activity in Muskego. Their functions vary from professional office uses, neighborhood and community oriented retail uses, and highway oriented uses. Industrial/Business Development: The Muskego Business Park encompasses 200 acres of land in the west-central part of the city. The business park is adjacent to County Trunk Highway Y (Racine Avenue) and is just minutes from Interstate Highway 43. The Tess Corners Industrial Park occupies 50 acres of land located in the northeast neighborhood. It is currently built to capacity and fully occupied. Landfill and Extractive Uses: The city is host to a number of landfills and extractive uses. Currently there are two landfill sites and one extractive site of significant size within the city limits. The Waste Management, Inc. landfill site located near the northeast corner of Janesville and Crowbar Roads is approximately 123 acres in size and has been permanently capped. Veolia Environmental Services Emerald Park Landfill Incorporated (formerly Onyx Emerald Park Landfill) is located in the southeast region of the city, near State Trunk Highways 36 and 45. The site contains 480 total acres of property. However, only 35 acres are currently engaged in landfill activities. The city has approved an additional 55 acres of expansion area. The Payne & Dolan, Inc. extractive site is located directly west of the former Waste Management, Inc. landfill site, at the northwest corner of Janesville and Crowbar Roads. The extractive use encompasses 293 contiguous acres and supplies various sand, gravel, stone, concrete, and asphalt products to numerous projects in southeastern Wisconsin. Agriculture/Open Space: Agriculture/open space uses comprise the single-largest land use category in the city of Muskego. Although farming was far more prominent a few decades ago, croplands still constitute a significant portion of this land use category. However few farms in the community have livestock and just one farm still keeps a dairy herd as of 2012. The active croplands are mostly located in the southern and western portions of the community. Recreational Development and Environmental Lands: Land uses within these categories are the subject of this document. A detailed inventory of park and conservation lands within the city can be found in Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 respectively. DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 10 Land Use Summary Figure 3 illustrates the land use composition of the City of Muskego in effect in January 2011. Map 3 depicts the spatial distribution of these land uses within the city. Clearly, non- urban agricultural land uses occupy the largest amount of land area in the community. Environmental lands, including surface water, wetlands, and woodlands, also occupy a substantial amount of land. Urban uses are predominately residential, with commercial and industrial land uses being small by comparison. Map 4 depicts proposed land uses for the year 2010.

The City of Muskego has 36 park sites, which encompass 327 acres. In addition, there are six Muskego-Norway school district recreation sites covering approximately 100 acres. One Waukesha County Park, Muskego Park, covers 209 acres. In total, there are 42 publicly owned parks and school sites covering 636 acres or 3.0% of the surface area of the community. The City of Muskego also has an existing network of recreation trails totaling 31 miles. City of Muskego Park and Open Space Sites Figure 4 summarizes the following data for each site and identifies a site number that corresponds to their locations on Map 5. Big Muskego Lake Access (Durham Drive): This eight-acre site located on the northern shore of Big Muskego Lake in the east-central portion of the city provides the only public- owned access to Big Muskego Lake/Bass Bay. The site provides a boat launching ramp and a portable restroom. The site includes wetlands and primary environmental corridor along the lake’s shore.

DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 21 Muskego Recreation Trails There are approximately 41 miles of recreation trails within the City of Muskego (Map 6). These trails facilitate non-motorized modes of travel including cycling and pedestrian use. The 25 miles of these trails that have a paved surface can also accommodate the use of wheel chairs, strollers, and in-line skates. The trail network connects several parks and areas of environmentally significant lands. The City of Muskego utilizes approximately ten miles of electrical line rights-of-way for trail purposes. A portion leased from WE Energies extends east-west five miles between North Cape Road and the intersection of Janesville and Woods Roads and is constructed of crushed limestone. The remaining 1.5 miles of this trail extending westward into Big Bend has an unimproved surface and may be used for horseback riding. There is also a 3.5-mile section of crushed limestone trail within a WE Energies electrical line right-of-way extending west along STH 36 from North Cape Road to Muskego Dam Road. In 2010, this trail was extended (.88 miles) along the south side of STH 36 from Muskego Dam Road and over the Muskego Canal with a city installed bridge, to the city limits where it links with an existing Wind Lake (Racine County) trail. In 2011, a paved trail was built along the east side of Durham Drive from the recreation trail to Hwy. OO (North Cape Road). In 2011, Common Council approved building a paved recreation trail in 2012 along the north side of Woods Road from Racine Avenue to Quietwood Drive, as well as a trail along Pioneer Drive from Janesville to Racine Avenue. There are also approximately twelve miles of paved recreation trails within the city. Footpaths, woodchip trails, or mowed trails suitable for hiking are available at the Engel Conservation Area and within Muskego County Park. Veterans Memorial Park has a boardwalk trail that connects with a crushed limestone trail extending through Old Muskego Settlement Centre and Horn Field before linking to the WE Energies trail. All recreation trails that exist within the city as of 2012 are depicted on Map 6 at the end of this chapter. In June of 2011, parks and recreation staff performed a trail assessment per the implementation of a new Rule related to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regarding the use of “Other Power-Driven Mobility Devices” (OPDMD’s) that became effective March 15, 2011. As a result of this, the Department of Justice (DOJ) decided the burden of proof as to whether a particular OPDMD should be allowed on a given trail will now be on the trail manager to determine if such a device can or cannot be used. Without such determination, based on completing an assessment of the suitability of the trail for such a device, the user can expect to be allowed to use his or her device without further question. After reviewing the 5 trail assessment factors deemed necessary by the DOJ, the trail assessment wording in affect and approved by the Parks & Recreation Board is: Because of the high number of trail users (factor II) with multi-use activities occurring on our trail system and while allowing for safe passing (factor IV) from both directions and overall safe usage on our 8’ wide asphalt/stone trails, allowable OPDMD’s (only for persons with mobility disabilities) should not be wider than 32” and for the safety of all users, all trail users shall observe a not to exceed five (5) miles per hour speed limit (factor I) on all park trails. Also, per the city’s trail agreement lease with WE Energies, they have determined tha t for safety reasons (factor IV) there are “no motorized recreational vehicles, including but not limited to snowmobiles, motor bikes, mini-bikes, motor cycles, mopeds, go-carts, and all-terrain vehicles will be used, operated, or permitted on the licensed premises. Licensee/Licensor (City/WE Energies) shall have the right to use motorized vehicles for patrol and maintenance of the right-of-way lands used for hiking, biking, and cross-county ski trails.” DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 22 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 23 Chapter 4 CONSERVATION LANDS INVENTORY AND CONSERVATION PLANNING Introduction This chapter describes the existing amount of conservation land within the City of Muskego municipal boundaries. For the purpose of this inventory conservation lands include lands of environmental significance that have some level of protection from development to other uses. These lands include woodlands, wetlands, and prairies that have native or naturalized vegetation growing upon them. Conservation lands include publicly owned lands that have been specifically identified as conservation lands or areas of native/naturalized vegetation cover that exist within developed parks. Also included are private lands with recorded preservation restrictions or conservation easements and lands owned by conservation organizations. In total there are 1784 acres of conservation land in Muskego which represents approximately 8.6% of the community’s land surface. Figure 5 identifies all existing conservation lands in Muskego and shows a breakdown of the cover types including woodlands, generalized wetland, prairie, wet woodlands, wet prairie, and savanna (prairie/woodland). Map 7 shows the locations of these conservation sites. A section at the end of this chapter covers conservation planning in Muskego. City of Muskego Conservation Lands The City of Muskego owns 25 conservation sites that collectively cover 519 acres or 2.5% of the land surface area. Of this total 147 acres lie within City of Muskego park sites. Categorized by cover types, these lands collectively cover 120 acres of upland woods, 113 acres of prairie, 108 acres of general wetlands, 53 acres of wet woodlands, 61 acres of wet prairie, 27 acres of oak savanna, and 38 acres of other surfaces. The following section briefly describes the size, location and cover types of city-owned conservation sites. More detailed descriptions of vegetative cover types for City conservation lands are found in Management Plan for City of Muskego Conservation Lands. This plan lays out specific land management recommendations in five-year increments. Badertscher Preserve: This 104-acre conservation area was purchased in 2012. The site has woodlands, rolling glacial topography, croplands, wetlands, and a tributary stream that are headwaters to Little Muskego Lake. The wetlands include a relatively rare calcareous fen plant community and formerly drained & farmed fields. The woodlands on the site were historically oak woods/oak savanna with some oak trees over 200 years old. This site lies immediately adjacent to the City of Muskego’s 27-acre “Ridges” conservation site. A site plan will be developed to restore agricultural lands to native land cover types and establish outdoor recreation uses and attendant facilities. Land cover totals in Figure 5 reflect the cover types expected following restoration.

Figure 5: Conservation Lands in Muskego – 2011 (Part 2 of 2) DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 26 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 27 Big Muskego Lake Access (Durham Drive): This eight-acre site located on the northern shore of Big Muskego Lake in the east-central portion of the city provides the only publicly owned boating access to Big Muskego Lake/Bass Bay. The site includes wetlands and primary environmental corridor along the lake’s shore. Big Muskego Lake and the surrounding marsh contain habitat for two endangered bird species, the Forster’s Tern and the Common Tern, one threatened bird species, the Great Egret, and one threatened reptile, the Blanding’s turtle. The marsh is classified as a natural area of regional significance (NA-2) in the 2010 updated Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission document: A Regional Natural Areas and Critical Species Habitat Protection and Management Plan for Southeastern Wisconsin. Blattner Conservation Site: A seven-acre parcel of land containing open grown oak and hickory trees and an isolated wetland was dedicated to the city in the platting of Boxhorn Reserve Subdivision. This area is being managed to restore the oak savanna cover type. Bluhm Park: This 50-acre community park is located in the northeastern portion of the city. In addition to active recreation areas, the site encompasses 16 acres of older growth oak woodlands classified as an isolated natural resource area. Seven acres of prairie and two acres of oak savanna have been established in passive areas of the park. Candlewood Creek Subdivision Outlots: Four separate outlot parcels comprising 12 acres adjacent to an unnamed tributary to Bass Bay were dedicated to the city upon the platting of Candlewood Creek subdivision. Approximately one third of the land cover is delineated as wetland and the majority is in the 100-year floodplain. In 2010 the parcels north of Cherrywood Drive were seeded with diverse wet prairie vegetation. An Eagle Scout led a project that planted native wetland trees and shrubs in 2011. Denoon Park: This 63-acre community park is located in the southwestern portion of the city and is adjacent to the northwestern shore of Lake Denoon. The park encompasses approximately eight acres of upland woods. Over eight acres of prairie vegetation has been planted within the park including wet prairie and oak savanna. A portion of the park is part of a primary environmental corridor associated with Lake Denoon. Engel Conservation Area: This 155-acre site, the largest city-owned conservation site, was acquired and developed for passive recreational use and outdoor education. There are 29 acres of upland woodlands, 87 acres of wetlands (including 22 acres of wet woodlands and 42 acres of wet prairie plantings), and 31 acres of upland prairie plantings within the property. A 67-acre area on the northern half of the property was enrolled into the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Wetlands Reserve Program. The US Fish & Wildlife Service supported projects to re-establish the upland prairies and restore other wetland areas. Several scout and volunteer projects have helped enhanced the habitats and developed support facilities. Engel Conservation Area has off street parking for approximately 16 vehicles and a portable restroom facility. The approximate four miles of hiking trails that traverse the site have interpretive signage for self-guided nature walks. Several outdoor recreation programs and events have been held at this facility including the observance of Arbor Day and International Migratory Bird Day. Long-term developments may include a nature center/interpretive building with classrooms and restroom facilities. Forest Glen Conservation Site: This nine-acre city-owned parcel north of Janesville Road contains 2 acres of hardwood swamp. The northwestern portion of the site has a retention pond built in conjunction with a residential development. DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 28 Guernsey Meadows: This eight-acre open space is located in the north-central part of the city was formerly known as Basse’s Woods. It contains a six acre hardwood forest with a diverse assemblage of spring ephemeral wildflowers and is classified as an isolated natural resource area. Combined with adjacent woods owned by Quietwood Creek Subdivision this site encompasses approximately 10 acres of woodlands. In 2002, an adjacent old field of 1.5 acres was converted to prairie vegetation and planted with Bur oaks and Shagbark hickories as a project to recreate an oak savanna cover type. Holz Island: This undeveloped one-acre island located near the eastern shore of Little Muskego Lake was dedicated to the city for conservation purposes by Rudolf Holz in 1972. It is entirely forested with a mixture of hardwood trees and is classified by SEWRPC as primary environmental corridor. Horn Field/Old Muskego Historical Center: This 30-acre park site located in the north- central portion of the city contains an isolated natural resource area with nine acres of woodlands and ten acres of wetlands. One acre of unused turf area was planted to prairie vegetation. The woodlands have a good diversity of hardwood trees and spring ephemeral wildflowers. Kelsey Drive Retention Pond: This nine-acre open space has a one-acre retention pond on the south end. Four acres of prairie was planted around the pond’s perimeter while the remainder is leased for agriculture. Future plans will plant the remaining area to prairie. Kurth Park: This 18-acre neighborhood park is located in the northeastern portion of the city. Tess Corners Creek and its associated secondary environmental corridor border the edge of the park. Prairie vegetation was established on two acres of this park to buffer the creek, reduce mowing costs, improve aesthetics, and provide wildlife habitat. Library: The Muskego Public Library has a one acre wetland area and a prairie planting that covers one third of an acre. Luther Parker Cemetery: This cemetery, covering 0.6 acres, contains the burial sites of some of the earliest European settlers to this area including Luther Parker, who is credited as the Muskego area’s first European settler. The site contains a remnant mesic prairie of rich diversity and is identified as a natural area of local significance in: A Regional Natural Areas and Critical Species Habitat Protection and Management Plan for Southeastern Wisconsin (SEWRPC, 1997 and 2010). Manchester Hill Park: This 15-acre park, located in the north central part of the city, has a 1.7-acre prairie planting surrounding a 1.5-acre pond. It also includes 3 acres of woodlands and 2 acres of wetlands within an isolated natural resource area. Marlan Meadows Park: This 7.6-acre mixed hardwood forest site located in the north central part of the city is classified as an isolated natural resource area. It was dedicated to the city in the platting of Marlan Meadows subdivision. Moorland Park: An unnamed Bass Bay (Big Muskego Lake) tributary stream bisects this 37-acre park. Five acres of prairie were planted at the time of developing the active use areas in the northern portion of the park. The southern portion of the park is predominantly wetland and floodplain. Eleven acres of wet prairie and an additional 5 acres of upland prairie were planted here in 2011. Collectively this site and the adjacent Candlewood Creek site comprise a 25-acre restoration area. DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 29 Park Arthur: Thirty-five acres of this formerly undeveloped 61-acre park site on the far north central part of the city were developed in 2011-2012. The park contains 6 acres of woodlands, 3 acres of wet woodlands, and 2 acres of wetland within an isolated natural resource area. Park development included the seeding of over seven acres of prairie vegetation. Quietwood Creek Wetlands: Wetlands encompassing 12.7 acres adjacent to an unnamed Bass Bay tributary stream were dedicated to the city upon the platting of Quietwood East subdivision. Combined with conservation lands in Moorland Park and Candlewood Creek Subdivision there are over 70 acres of land protected along this tributary corridor. Ridges Conservation Site: This 27-acre open space site located in the northwestern portion of the city encompasses some relatively high quality wetlands and mixed hardwoods within a secondary environmental corridor. The site has a spring-fed stream locally known as “Spring Creek” that flows through a valley between drumlin glacial features and is tributary to Little Muskego Lake. Land management at this site has included prescribed burns to restore native vegetation, and disabling of drain tiles to restore hydrology. The city recently purchased approximately 104 acres of adjacent land from the former Borst/Badertscher farmstead creating a larger contiguous conservancy area in this important watershed area. Schmidt Park: This seven-acre neighborhood park has a one-acre prairie planting that is mostly wetland. Veterans Memorial Park: This park, located just north of City Hall, includes 4.4 acres of woodlands and 0.6 acres of wet woodlands. The woodlot contains endangered crow’s foot sedge as well as a diverse assemblage of wildflowers and is recognized as a natural area of local significance. The forest was named “Betty’s Woods” to memorialize Betty Czarapata who spearheaded invasive species management projects in Muskego. A boardwalk trail with interpretive nature signage traverses Betty’s Woods. A small patch of prairie was also planted adjacent to Racine Avenue. Woodcrest Heights Wetlands: This 10.3-acre parcel located just south of Muskego Business Park and north of Woods Road in the west central part of the city has 7.4 acres of wetlands. Woods Road Wetlands: This 4.1-acre parcel adjacent to Woods Road in the west central part of the city has over three acres of wetlands. County Conservation Lands Waukesha County owns and manages Muskego Park, which contains 148 acres of lands with environmental significance. A 100-acre forested area within this park is designated as a State Natural Area. The forest has a diversity of hardwood species including the threatened Blue Ash as well as Kentucky Coffeetree, a tree uncommon in Wisconsin. The endangered crow’s foot sedge grows on the site as well as exceptionally diverse spring woodland flora. State Conservation Lands In 1999, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) set a 3,800-acre project boundary for establishing the Big Muskego Lake State Wildlife Area. However, only undeveloped lands with environmental significance and restoration potential within this project area are typically sought. Land is acquired only from willing sellers and with DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 30 available funding. Thus, the realized size of the wildlife area can be expected to be a fraction of the project area. The purpose of the wildlife area is to protect, enhance, and manage the aquatic and terrestrial resources of Big Muskego Lake and surrounding lands, as well as to provide public hunting, fishing, and compatible recreational and educational opportunities. As of 2012, the Big Muskego Lake State Wildlife Area comprised 660 acres of land. Big Muskego Lake and surrounding marshlands are classified as a natural area of regional significance by SEWRPC. The area has habitat for an exceptional diversity of wildlife including several critical species: Forster’s tern (endangered), Great Egret (threatened), and Black Tern (special concern). Big Muskego Lake was the first and currently one of the only places in Waukesha County to have nesting Bald eagles and Ospreys. The rich diversity of wildlife associated with Big Muskego Lake and surrounding marshlands has garnered the designation as an “Important Bird Area” and as one of just 229 “Land Legacy” places in Wisconsin. Figure 5 compiles only the land surfaces of conservation in the community. Similarly only land surfaces are tallied in the park land totals in Figure 4 in Chapter 3. However Muskego is fortunate to have several major waterways within its boundaries including Big Muskego Lake, Little Muskego Lake, Lake Denoon, and Bass Bay as well as smaller lakes and streams. The Public Trust Doctrine of Wisconsin establishes that waterways are owned in common by all of Wisconsin’s citizens and are for everyone’s use and enjoyment to fish, swim, boat, hunt, and simply enjoy the natural scenic beauty. Thus public waterways should be recognized when evaluating the parks and conservation attributes of the community. Collectively Muskego has 3009 acres of public surface waters (14% of the community) that provide open space, recreation and wildlife habitat. Other Conservation Lands There are also 454 acres of lands within the community that are conserved through other various mechanisms. This total includes 288 acres of land within subdivisions and commercial properties that have preservation restrictions on their recorded plats or surveys. (Note: This largely includes wetland areas but there are many other privately-owned wetland areas within Muskego that do not have recorded deed restrictions and thus not included in this category. However there are federal, state and local laws that regulate wetlands which assures some conservation value to these areas as well). This “Other Conservation Lands” category also includes 80 acres of lands owned by lake districts and nonprofit conservation organizations for the purpose of conservation. Figure 5 identifies these privately owned conservation lands and Map 7 depicts their locations. Conservation Planning Provisions Land Dedications: City of Muskego Municipal Code allows for the acquisition of lands through dedication when they are designated in a comprehensive plan component – such as this plan. Chapter 18.46 (2) (a) permits the city to require open space conservation land dedications of designated areas (conservation priority areas) for up to 9.7% of the total net area of a development. This code also has a fee in lieu of land dedication provision which is described later in this chapter. Conservation Easements and Preservation Restrictions: The city may also request that developers encompass environmentally significant lands within an outlot that is collectively owned by the residents of the subdivision and have preservation restrictions or a conservation easement upon the parcel. Preservation restrictions are recorded on the final plat while a conservation easement is a separate, stand-alone document. Both options can be used to record language with the County Register of Deeds office to take certain DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 31 development rights away from the property and/or limit certain uses. A conservation easement gives the easement holder the ability to enforce the terms of the easement in perpetuity and the right to take corrective legal actions if terms are not followed. Conservation Developments: Chapter 17 of the City of Muskego Municipal Code allows the city to create zoning districts for the development of conservation subdivisions. This zoning area permits smaller lots than the base zoning would typically allow in exchange for preserving areas designated as a conservation priority. Developers first determine the yield of lots that conventional zoning would allow. Density bonuses (additional lots) are allowed in exchange for preservation of these lands, as well as other provisions such as prairie establishment, wetland restorations, and trail connections. Lots are then clustered in developable areas with larger contiguous tracts of priority lands and restoration areas preserved within outlots. Recorded agreements may be required between the homeowners associations and the city for the associations to execute open space management plans and maintain these areas in an ecologically responsible manner. Tree Mitigation: The city’s municipal code also has provisions for preserving wooded areas. It requires that each tree removed in preparation for development is replaced at a 1:1 ratio. Planning Department policy applies this code to all trees in excess of six inches in diameter measured at breast height (4.5 feet above grade). Developers must plant trees species from the recommended species list in City of Muskego Urban Forestry Management Plan or others approved by the City Forester. Conservation Land Acquisition Funding Funding for conservation acquisitions has been made primarily through the city’s landfill settlement fund. State regulations require landfill companies to negotiate a payment to local communities to help offset the negative impacts of locating a landfill within the community. These funds are typically used for improving the quality of life. The current landfill agreement between the City of Muskego and Veolia Environmental Services Emerald Park Landfill Incorporated (formerly Onyx Emerald Park Landfill) requires that 10% of the city’s annual direct payment is directed to a Land and Open Space Conservation Fund to purchase land and/or conservation easements that will provide for open space preservation. The city has used this fund in conjunction with state grants to acquire conservation lands. The city also collects fees in lieu of land dedications. New land developments are required to dedicate park and open space lands where designated by the Comprehensive Plan or any plan component (i.e. this Plan). In the event that a development does not include lands designated for conservation Developers must pay fees in lieu of land dedication. These monies are collected in a segregated account for acquisition and development purposes. Promotion and Recognition of Muskego’s Conservation Efforts Muskego has received recognition for its conservation efforts. Muskego’s precursor conservation planning document, City of Muskego Conservation Plan 2001, received an award from the Wisconsin Chapter of the American Planning Association in 2002. The National Arbor Foundation has recognized Muskego as a Tree City USA since 1998 for its efforts in the management and public awareness of urban tree resources. Muskego is also recognized for its conservation efforts relating to birds. In 2009 Big Muskego Lake and its surrounding marshland was named as a Wisconsin “Important Bird Area.” Further, the Wisconsin Bird Conservation Initiative honored the City of Muskego in 2010 as one of the first communities in the state to be recognized as a “Bird City Wisconsin.” DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 32 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 33 Chapter 5 PARKS AND CONSERVATION LAND NEEDS ASSESSMENT Introduction Municipal park systems and conservation lands should encompass a variety of classifications and offer varied passive and active recreational opportunities. Development of the system is a long-term endeavor, requiring the community to continually evaluate its parks and conservation needs in response to land use changes, population growth, and transportation considerations. The classification of parks and open space types and the preparation of standards is the first step in assuring that the community is meeting the needs of its residents and visitors. Park Classifications and Standards The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), as well as park and planning departments across the nation, are now placing more emphasis upon locally preferred standards and levels of service. This change has occurred in recognition of the variability in the social, economic, and physical aspects of our communities as such standards that work well for one community are often not appropriate for another. This view promotes a systems-based planning approach that translates local information into a framework for meeting the physical, spatial, and facility requirements that enable a community to develop local level of service guidelines. In recognition of this information, the following recommendations and standards were utilized in determining a baseline for parkland and recreation facility needs: * The recommendations of the city’s previous Parks & Conservation Plan (2007) * Per capita, jurisdictional, and accessibility standards outlined by the NRPA * Recommendations of the Parks & Recreation Board and city staff * Public and stakeholder input, survey results comments, and suggestions To compare and evaluate various recommendations and standards in a meaningful manner, a park classification system is essential. Such a system is also useful in the comparison of different types of recreation and open space sites and facilities to one another during capital and park dedication funding efforts. Neighborhood Parks Typical Size: 5 - 20 acres Per Capita Standard: 3.0 acres per 1,000 persons Accessibility Standard: 1.0 mile radius Neighborhood parks usually provide facilities for children’s outdoor recreation activities. These typically include playground equipment, sandlot play fields, picnic shelter, and basketball courts. Neighborhood parks should be within a comfortable walking distance of intended users, generally not exceeding 1 mile. Community Parks Typical Size: 25+ acres Per Capita Standard: 6 acres per 1,000 persons DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 34 Accessibility Standard: 2.5 mile radius Community Parks are intended to serve passive and active recreational needs of several neighborhoods. These parks offer a diversity of community-oriented facilities such as swimming beaches, quality softball/baseball diamonds and soccer fields, trail-oriented recreation, lake access, and winter sports. Support facilities, which include restrooms, shelters, and parking, are found in community parks. They may also contain areas of environmental significance that are classified as conservation lands. They are usually within a short drive of the intended users but can also serve the neighborhood park facility needs for the proximate residential areas. Community parks should be within a comfortable driving distance of intended users, generally not exceeding 2.5 miles. Regional Parks Typical Size: 200+ acres Per Capita Standard: Not Applicable Accessibility Standard: One hour driving time Regional parks are intended to serve multiple communities over a diverse geographic area. These parks encompass large areas and typically include surface waters and/or environmentally significant lands. They may offer camping, swimming, and recreation trails. These are facilities that may be found in community parks, but on a much larger scale. The development of new regional parks is beyond the scope of this municipal parks and open space plan, and is typically initiated by higher levels of government. Special Use Parks Special use parks cover a broad range of recreation facilities oriented toward single purpose use. This category includes the Old Muskego Settlement Centre. Assessment of Park Needs Per Capita Park Needs Figure 6 illustrates how the existing acreage of public park sites serves the city’s current population needs for park lands. The city’s current population is adequately served by the existing neighborhood and community park acreage. No attempt was made to determine how Muskego County Park, the only regional park in the city, serves the community on a per capita basis since this park draws users from beyond city boundaries. Discussion of recommended actions to fulfill park and open space needs is presented in Chapter 6. Park Type Existing Acreage Acres/1000 persons Minimum Acres Required 2011 Surplus or Deficit Acreage Neighborhood 79.6 3 72 +7.6 Community 207.3 6 144 +63.3 Regional 209 n/a n/a n/a Figure 6: Per Capita Standards and Needs for Public-Owned Parks DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 35 Site Needs Based on Accessibility The spatial distribution of neighborhood and community parks should provide convenient access to city residents. Map 8 shows the extent to which the city is served by public park sites. The smaller shaded circles define the service areas of neighborhood parks and represent a reasonable walking distance (1.0 mile) for most park users. The larger shaded areas show the area served by a community park (2.5-mile radius) – typically a short drive for park users. Muskego County Park serves the regional park needs of the entire city. The southeastern portion of the city contains the largest contiguous area not served by community or neighborhood parks. Recommended actions to fulfill service area deficits are discussed in Chapter 6. Future Population Park Needs Using Wisconsin Department of Administration population projections, the City of Muskego is expected to have 24,791 persons in 2020. While this plan is designed to facilitate park planning for a five-year period for DNR grant eligibility, the 2020 population level is used to coordinate recommendations of this plan with the City of Muskego Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Figure 7 illustrates how the existing acreage of public park sites serves the city’s 2020 population needs for park lands. Existing neighborhood and community park acreage would serve the city’s projected 2020 population. Future regional park needs were not analyzed since provision of regional parks is beyond the scope of this plan. Chapter 6 discusses recommended actions to fulfill these future park needs. Park Type Existing Acreage Acres/1000 persons Minimum Acres Required 2020 Surplus or Deficit Acreage Neighborhood 79.6 3 75 +4.6 Community 207.3 6 150 +57.3 Regional 209 N/A N/A N/A Figure 7: Per Capita Standards and Projected 2020 Needs for Public-Owned Parks The spatial distribution of neighborhood and community parks for the 2020 population will need to accommodate any expansion of residential areas. As new neighborhoods are formed, accessibility to existing parks should be evaluated. If existing parks are not accessible, then new parks should be developed in these new residential areas. The analysis of spatial distribution of the city’s parks indicates that an additional park should be sited in the southeastern portion of the city. DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 36 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 37 Park Facility Needs In the past, the city’s park planning documents attempted to evaluate the need for individual recreation facilities (baseball diamonds, playgrounds, etc.) that are to be provided within parks. Standards established by SEWRPC were used to determine the numbers of typical recreation facilities needed for the current and future population. These standards however did not take into account local differences in recreation preferences and often did not reflect the true demand. Therefore this analysis was eliminated from use in subsequent park planning documents. Basically, the provision of recreation facilities should accommodate the reasonable demand of the public. A primary function of the Parks and Recreation Board is to make determinations of park facility needs based upon input from stakeholders, citizen user groups, and those who schedule recreation events. The Board has recognized a need to: 1. Research the feasibility of a fieldhouse for basketball courts, volleyball courts, and other indoor recreation activities requiring gymnasium space due to the heavy department/community usage in school gymnasium space. 2. Establish a water “sprayground” as a relatively inexpensive alternative to the provision of a wading pool as a water recreation facility for children. 3. Establish a sand volleyball court and give future consideration of providing a basketball court at Moorland Park (further research is needed for this location). 4. Meet dog park needs by allocating future park space or work with county to provide for in neighboring city/village. 5. Expand beach/swim area at Idle Isle Park to meet increased lake use needs. 6. Identify active use parks for clustering outdoor athletic facilities and continue discussions on partnering with school district for development of more clustered indoor/outdoor facilities (Parks Redistribution Plan). 7. Continue discussions with school district for determining public use times/access for indoor/outdoor athletic facilities during new summer school physical education class use and future referendum approvals for new schools. 8. Perform facility needs/efficiency study on current owned buildings (Horn/Jensen) used for recreation classes to determine building life and if future needs will be met. 9. W ork with baseball clubs to create “Baseball Booster Club” for cost-sharing options to create/build competitive baseball fields at Park Arthur and to identify future cost-sharing methods for baseball field restoration at existing parks. 10. Continue trying to work with Waste Management and their closed landfill located in the northwest portion of the city to provide for public trails and observation deck/tower. 11. Identify parkland for purchase/development in the southeast portion of the city. 12. Purchase Boxhorn launch and associated land for a future park (would meet southeast Muskego’s need for parkland) or possibly extend lease/purchase of Boxhorn boat launch. 13. Continue advocating for lake-park along Janesville Road to meet increased lake use needs along with providing better access. 14. Investigate the effect the removal of the basketball court will have on the public use at Denoon Park. Classification of Conservation Lands Conservation lands are areas intended to preserve and protect natural resources. They are places that facilitate passive recreational activities and the observation, appreciation, and DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 38 study of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Conservation lands include forests, wetlands, prairies, and lands adjacent to surface waters that have some level of protection from development into other human uses. They include publicly owned lands with the expressed or implied purpose of resource protection. Private land areas with recorded conservation easements or preservation restrictions are also classified as conservation lands. The size and shape of conservation lands and their environmental protection functions can vary. Larger contiguous tracts of conservation lands can encompass several ecosystems thereby preserving a great diversity of plants, wildlife, and geological features. They can also be linear in shape following natural corridors such as rivers to preserve floodplains or bluff lines to preserve scenic vistas. Smaller, isolated conservation areas may preserve remnants of high quality plant communities and provide critical stopover areas for migrating birds. Conservancy Lands Needs Assessment It is difficult to quantify the need for conservation land. The evaluation of conservation land needs may be looked at from two perspectives: 1. the need of the land to be conserved due to its ecological significance, and; 2. the need the community has for areas of ecologically significant open spaces and passive recreation uses. The first case includes land areas that contain diverse native plant communities and/or harbor rare or diverse wildlife. The community need for conservancy lands centers on the provision of services these lands provide: recreation, outdoor education, stormwater management, air quality and aesthetics. Prioritization of Conservation Areas To establish conservation need from the land perspective a prioritization must be established using ecological criteria. That is, those lands with the most conservation value have the greatest need to be preserved. A conservation prioritization for the City of Muskego is found in Chapter 7. This prioritization represents an update and refinement of conservation priority areas identified in the City of Muskego Conservation Plan (2001). Several factors are considered in ranking the areas including ecological significance, development pressures, and scenic views. Connectivity to existing conservancy areas and relative size are also important factors: a major tenet of ecology is that larger contiguous tracts of habitat support a greater diversity of organisms. For example, many bird species require large forested areas versus small woodlots. Community’s Need for Land Conservation A good assessment of the community’s need for conservation land is an evaluation of the preferences of the community. Between December 2004, and February 2005 surveys were mailed to a random sample of 1,500 Muskego property owners to gather citizen input in preparing the city’s 2020 Comprehensive Plan. Figure 8 shows the level of agreement with eight statements regarding conservation issues. DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 39 Survey Statement No Opinion Disagree Strongly Disagree Somewhat Neutral Agree Somewhat Strongly Agree Wetland preservation efforts by the city are adequate. 10.7% 11.9% 14.3% 21.7% 29.2% 12.1% Preservation of wooded areas in Muskego is adequate. 8.1% 15.5% 20.4% 15.9% 29.4% 10.7% Preservation of native plants is necessary. 5.6% 7.4% 9.2% 24.2% 30.1% 23.6% I am willing to allow city dollars to be used to support preservation efforts (water quality, woodland…). 2.4% 14.4% 11.0% 16.2% 36.9% 19.2% I am willing to pay higher city taxes to support preservation efforts. 2.6% 30.7% 15.4% 14.8% 23.4% 13.2% The city should maintain the current amount of farmland. 10.7% 6.3% 7.3% 18.6% 19.9% 37.2% I support COPDs (Conservation Subdivisions). 11.8% 13.2% 7.5% 23.3% 26.8% 17.4% I support bonus lots to encourage COPDs. 12.8% 18.8% 9.1% 23.9% 22.1% 13.4% Figure 8: Survey Responses to Conservation Issues Citizens were generally split on agreement regarding the adequacy of city woodland and wetland preservation efforts. However, most residents agreed that native plants should be preserved. Although most residents were at least somewhat in favor of using city dollars to support conservation efforts, most were not willing to pay higher taxes to do so. Most residents also favored maintaining the current amount of farmland as well as the use of conservation subdivisions. Overall there appears to be a moderate support for conservation efforts among Muskego residents. Another perspective of the community’s need for land conservation is to consider the services which conservation lands provide. Undeveloped land surfaces provide storm water infiltration which attenuates flooding potential, removes sediment and pollutants, and recharges groundwater supplies. Flourishing plant communities improve air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Some studies have also shown that green spaces reduce stress, allow medical patients to heal more quickly, and can reduce driver aggression. Many of these benefits are difficult to quantify in terms of dollars but should also be considered when evaluating the community’s need for conservation lands. DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 40 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 41 Chapter 6 RECOMMENDED PARK PLAN Introduction The previous chapters presented an inventory and analysis of how well the existing park sites meet the needs of the current and future population of the City of Muskego. The next step in the planning process is to make recommendations to fulfill the identified needs. These include additional facilities at existing sites, land acquisition, and development of facilities at proposed park sites. Locations of the recommendations outlined below are depicted in Map 9. This recommended plan will serve as a guide in the decision making process in the acquisition and development of parks in the City of Muskego. Improvements Planned or Recommended for Existing Sites Several improvements at various park sites have been planned by the Parks and Recreation Department and approved by the Parks and Recreation Board but have yet to be implemented. This section describes these planned improvements as well as other recommended improvements to address the 2020 Muskego population needs. Many of the improvements merely update or renovate existing recreational facilities, while others create new facilities to fulfill recreation needs. General Improvements and Updates: Screening enclosures are recommended around trash dumpsters and portable toilets that exist within city parks. A plan is set for all of these structures to have screening enclosures in place by the end of 2014. Baseball field restoration is scheduled for every 4-5 years, based on monies available and restoration need. Moorland Park: Landscaping is also planned around the parking area. The Parks and Recreation Board have adopted a preliminary site plan that includes a shelter with storage and bathrooms. A water “sprayground” is recommended at this site as an addition to the playground for summer recreation and relief from heat. A sand volleyball court is also recommended. A basketball court should also be considered based upon determination of community need. The need for a fieldhouse with gymnasium space should also be explored further. There is a possible shift of amenities to other locations and sale of park, if desired. (Ord. #1317 - 04-13-2010) Denoon Park: Investigate the possible negative effect removing the basketball court will have on the public use of this facility. Horn Park: Research the building life and efficiency for meeting community needs. Replace the existing rubber roof of building (planned for 2012). DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 42 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 43 Park Arthur: The 17-acre western portion remains undeveloped as of January, 2012. The current approved plan for the east side of the park (44 acres) will likely include a rink to provide both winter ice skating activities and in-line skating activities during the rest of the year. Other potential facilities include a pavilion with restroom facilities, picnic areas, playground equipment, additional parking areas, an equestrian and pedestrian trail, and athletic fields. The park will also have some conservation areas and eventual trail linkage to the city’s recreation trail network. Planned for 2012, is the creation of four baseball fields, paving work, and then eventually the entrance off College Avenue (per Waukesha County direction/approval). Possible shift of amenities of Park Arthur West to other locations and sale of west half of park (17 acres), if desired (Ord. #1317 - 04-13-2010). Idle Isle Park: It is recommended that the beach area be expanded to accommodate more users, if lake-park does not become reality. Jensen Park: Research the building life and efficiencies for meeting future community needs. Kurth Park: It is recommended to have the southern section of the park be graded and seeded for athletic use, once need is identified. Schmidt/Lions Park: It is recommended to re-pave the asphalt basketball courts thru the road paving program at these two parks. Recommended Future Sites and their Facilities This section outlines land acquisitions and facilities development (improvements) needed to fulfill 2020 needs. New Neighborhood Park - Southeast side: A neighborhood park of at least 20 acres in size is recommended for the southeastern portion of the city, in U. S. Public Land Survey Section 24 or 25. Acreage for this park could vary depending on the amount of environmentally significant lands it might contain. Proposed facilities could include a playground, a basketball court, two tennis courts, a softball/baseball diamond, picnic facilities, a play field (soccer) area, restrooms and appropriate support facilities. A pedestrian trail within the park and linkage to the citywide recreation trail network is also recommended. New Community Park – Little Muskego Lake: (Ord. #1317 - 04-13-2010) With the adoption of the city’s Comprehensive Plan in 2009 came a new recommendation to Bring Back The Lake to the community. The 2020 Plan found there is no direct access or views to Little Muskego Lake from the downtown and Janesville Road. The main area sought after in the 2020 Plan is on the east side of the Little Muskego Lake dam along Janesville Court on the southern end of the lake off of Janesville Road (Also shown as 5b on the 2020 Future Land Use Map). A larger property exists to the east of the dam that has the possibility to be incorporated with other properties in this area to create a large lake access and view shed along the heavily traveled Janesville Road. The 2020 Plan further states that future lake accesses and view sheds will hopefully bring the lakefront back into the community and create new opportunities for residents and visitors to enjoy an original amenity that Muskego has for so long been recognized. DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 44 Based upon this recommendation, this Parks and Conservation Plan adopts the same and recommends that a future lakefront park and supporting development be pursued for this area along Little Muskego Lake. Future park amenities may include a community green space (for community events), beach, playground, ice skating, sand volleyball courts, trails, pavilion, and possible band shelter. Waste Management Closed Landfill (N.E. part of city) Public Amenities: Work with Waste Management to examine possible options for creating trails and an observation tower on this site for public access/use. Shared Park Facilities with Muskego Norway School District: (Ord. #1317 - 04-13-2010) Opportunities may present themselves to share unused lands with the Muskego Norway School District where Muskego can incorporate centralized park amenities in one location. Two potential locations exist: Lake Denoon Middle School land along Kelsey Drive, and in the school district-owned land south of McShane Drive. Possible partnerships could develop via lease or purchase of lands. If opportunities take place, the shifting of amenities from the city’s Moorland Park and/or Park Arthur West may occur at these new locations making possible, clustered facilities for baseball, soccer, and football fields. These discussions should also take place with any approved referendums for new school facility/grounds expansion. Urban Forestry Recommendations for Parks All forestry planning and operations within city parks should follow recommendations outlined within the adopted City of Muskego Urban Forestry Strategic and Management Plans. These plans provide recommendations for the establishment and management of the tree population within the city’s parks. The Urban Forestry Strategic Plan establishes the goals and objectives of the city’s urban forestry program. The Management Plan provides recommendations for staff, equipment, and training. This plan also outlines a timeline for specific tree management activities such as planting and pruning and projects a five-year budget to complete the recommended activities. Funding for Parks Acquisitions and Developments New land developments are required to dedicate park and open space lands where designated by the Comprehensive Plan or any plan component (i.e. this Plan). If an area of development does not encompass a planned park or open space then a fee in lieu of park dedication is imposed. These monies are collected in a segregated account for acquisition and development purposes. The current landfill agreement between the City of Muskego and Superior Emerald Park Landfill (now Veolia Environmental Services) requires that not less than 10% of the city’s annual direct payment is directed to the park dedication fund. This plan recommends the continued terms of this agreement with consideration of also utilizing some funds from the unallocated portion of the annual direct payment to further assist in park development and acquisition. It may also be prudent to borrow money for land purchases since the full purchase price may not be currently available and future residents (mortgagers) will benefit from the acquisition. Also, more favorable park and open space land acquisition opportunities exist in the present because land becomes subdivided and fragmented over time. Borrowing to DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 45 purchase land versus waiting and saving up for a land acquisition can also make sense because land prices typically appreciate at a rate that exceeds municipal bond rates. Other funding sources beyond the park dedication fund, landfill payment, and general fund should be actively pursued. Federal, state, and private grants shall also be sought to financially assist the acquisition and management of parklands. It is further recommended that interested citizens form a non-profit “friends” group to generate donations to financially assist parkland acquisition, development, and maintenance. Summary The additional sites and facilities proposed in this chapter should provide a park system that meets the needs of the future population of Muskego. Development of the recommended facilities would provide the city residents a wide variety of accessible recreational opportunities. To adequately service these additional park sites and facilities, due consideration should be given to staffing and equipment needs. DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 46 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 47 Chapter 7 RECOMMENDED CONSERVATION PLAN Introduction This chapter presents recommendations for conserving environmentally significant lands within the City of Muskego. Mechanisms for conservation include land acquisitions through fee simple purchase, land dedications, easements, and other planning techniques such as conservation developments. Recommendations on acquisition funding, management costs, municipal code modifications, and policies to meet land conservation objectives are also presented. Implementation of these recommendations is intended to provide a multitude of benefits to the community: Preservation of rural character Preservation of native plant communities Protection of wildlife habitat Creation of passive and active outdoor recreation opportunities Reduced development sprawl and overall population density Reduced vehicular traffic Reduced stormwater runoff and flooding Cleaner surface waters Groundwater recharge Air pollution reduction Conservation Priorities This section presents a prioritization of lands that should be considered for conservation with the community. It represents an update and refinement of conservation priority areas identified in the City of Muskego Conservation Plan (2001). Areas identified by SEWRPC as natural areas, critical species habitats, environmental corridors, and isolated natural resource areas are all included. Essentially all wetlands and older-growth forest areas of significant size are also included in the prioritization. The most important factor considered in the ranking is the ecological significance; the diversity of the plant community and quality of wildlife habitat. The size of an ecologically significant land area also plays a role in ranking as larger contiguous tracts of habitat typically support a greater diversity of plants and wildlife. Map 10 shows the locations of land areas identified as high, medium, or low conservation priority. High Conservation Priority Areas: Lands classified as a “High Conservation Priority” are generally larger tracts of land with higher quality environmental features such as older growth forests or larger, contiguous wetland areas. Land areas that provide continuity between large tracts of high quality environmental features are also included. Strong consideration should be given to acquiring lands in this designation should they become available. Those lands not acquired should be protected through other conservation planning techniques. Medium Conservation Priority Areas: These lands are basically a continuum between high conservation priority areas and the low conservation priority areas described below. Tracts are moderately sized and/or the environmental features that they contain may be of somewhat lower quality than those designated as high priority. DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 48 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 49 Low Conservation Priority Areas: These land areas are generally smaller tracts of environmental features. This designation includes drained or degraded wetlands or lower quality woodlands. Also included are extensively fragmented, older-growth woodland areas that remain after previous subdivision or other development of land. In most cases, low conservation priority lands would be protected through means other than acquisition - such as isolated wetlands that are protected through state and federal land use regulations. Planning Process for Conserving Prioritized Lands This Plan recommends that the city consider conservation of all prioritized areas. While it is certainly not feasible to acquire these lands through fee simple purchase they may be preserved through land dedications, conservation easements, preservation restrictions, conservation developments, or other means. The Conservation Commission shall review all land division and land development proposals that would affect conservation priority areas. With Community Development Department staff guidance, the Conservation Commission shall recommend a strategy to the Planning Commission and the Common Council to preserve or minimize the development impact of such lands. It is further recommended that the city proactively seek to acquire some of the highest prioritized areas before any development proposals are brought forth. Acquisition of Conservation Lands Typically, Muskego shall respect private property owners’ rights and acquire lands only from willing sellers. Only in extremely rare circumstances should eminent domain powers ever be executed upon an unwilling seller as a means of acquiring conservation lands. High priority lands should receive more consideration for acquisition, followed by medium, and then low. Higher consideration should be given to acquisitions that will create larger contiguous area of conserved lands of environmental significance. Greater consideration should also be given for acquisitions that help link the proposed trail network that is presented in the next chapter. Some potential conservancy lands may have regional significance extending beyond civil boundaries, so conservation organizations or other levels of government may be sought to partner in their acquisition. In particular, the city should work with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources in the acquisition of conservation priority lands that lie within the Big Muskego Lake Wildlife Area project boundary. Land Dedications This Plan recommends the implementation of the Chapter 18 Land Division Ordinance that allows for the acquisition of conservation priority lands through dedication. Upon development of properties that contain prioritized lands, the city may require conservation land dedications of up to 9.7% of the total net area of a development. Conservation Developments This Plan recommends that, if not acquired, all conservation priority lands that lie within proposed residential developments be considered for preservation through conservation subdivision development. A conservation planned development (CPD) zoning district designation allows smaller residential lots than an area’s zoning would otherwise allow whereby such lots are clustered and a larger contiguous environmentally significant open space area is preserved. This conservation area is encompassed within an outlot mutually owned by subdivision homeowners and preserved through deed restrictions or a conservation easement as described in the section below. DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 50 This Plan further recommends the education of the public regarding the use of conservation subdivisions as a tool to more responsibly preserve natural resource features. In some previous subdivision proposals neighboring residents had voiced opposition to the smaller lot sizes of conservation subdivision developments. There may be more support for this land use planning strategy if the conservation value of preserving larger contiguous tracts of environmentally significant land was more clearly understood. Preservation Restrictions and Conservation Easements Even if developments containing conservation priority lands do not utilize CPD zoning the City should still seek to have these areas preserved through preservation restrictions or conservation easements. Preservation restrictions are recorded on the final plat while a conservation easement is a separate, stand-alone document. Both options are used to record language with the County Register of Deeds office to take certain development rights away from the property and/or limit certain uses. A conservation easement gives the easement holder the ability to enforce the terms of the easement and the right to take corrective legal actions if terms are not followed. Purchase of Development Rights In some cases the city may seek to acquire priority lands from a landowner who may be reluctant to sell but still desires to preserve the land. In these instances the city should give consideration to paying landowners for perpetual conservation easements. This strategy is commonly referred to as purchase of development rights. The land remains privately owned while the objective of conserving the land is achieved. Actual city ownership would remain a possibility because with development rights taken away, the land may be purchased in the future at a diminished cost. Farmland Preservation This plan recommends the preservation of farmland to maintain the community’s rural character. Purchase of development rights, discussed above, could be utilized for farmland preservation. Planned development zoning should also be an available option to preserve tracts of agricultural lands in the same way that this zoning is used to preserve environmentally significant lands. Codes and policies should be modified to allow developers to dedicate farmlands or place deed restrictions or conservation easements upon significant tracts of agricultural lands in exchange for allowing clustered developments of smaller lot sizes than the base zoning would otherwise allow. Preservation of farmland should receive the greatest consideration in areas where agriculture remains the primary land use – the western and southeastern portions of the city. Farmland preservation should also be considered to buffer conserved environmentally significant lands from areas of more intensive land development. Preservation of Existing Conservation Areas This plan recommends that existing city-owned conservation lands identified in Figure 5 remain preserved in perpetuity. Thus all existing conservation areas are also classified as “high conservation priority.” However it is also recognized that rare circumstances could arise in the future in which the conversion of an area of conservation land (or park) to another use could be for the greater public benefit. The City of Muskego 2020 Comprehensive Plan establishes a process to scrutinize any proposed selling/dedicating/granting of city open spaces or recreation lands to an alternative use. It DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 51 must be well documented that the public need substantially outweighs the public good afforded by such lands and that alternatives sites are not feasible. It is further established that only the minimum area be affected and that it is mitigated by the acquisition of another site of at least comparable size and quality. Management and Development of Conservation Lands Conservation lands should be managed in a manner to preserve and enhance their ecological quality. Invasive species control and establishment of native plant communities are requisite in the stewardship of conservation lands. It is recommended that the City of Muskego maintain a separate planning document Management of City of Muskego Conservation Lands in addition to this document to outline specific management for the conservation lands that it owns. This document shall include a four year work plan with a prioritization and timeline for completing the recommended conservation management activities. Some conservation lands should be developed to facilitate passive recreational activities or outdoor education. Hiking trails should be established particularly where conservation lands are within parks or adjacent to existing recreation trails. Educational components such as interpretive signage should also be considered in these areas. Establishment of an outdoor interpretive learning center at the Engel Conservation Area should be a long-range goal. Partnerships and alternative funding sources should be explored so there is less dependence on city funds for such a facility. Funding for Conservation Lands The current landfill agreement between the City of Muskego and Veolia Environmental Services Emerald Park Landfill Incorporated requires that 10% of the city’s annual direct payment is directed to a Land and Open Space Conservation Fund to purchase land and/or conservation easements that will provide for open space preservation. This Plan recommends the continued terms of this agreement with consideration of also utilizing some additional funds from the unallocated portion of the annual direct payment to further assist in conservation acquisitions. Similarly fees in lieu of land dedications should continue to be collected as a funding source for land acquisition. Other funding sources beyond the landfill payment, dedication funds, and general fund should be actively pursued. Federal, state, and private grants should also be sought to financially assist the acquisition and management of conservation lands. It is further recommended that interested citizens are encouraged to form a non-profit “friends” group or develop a conservation endowment fund to generate donations to financially assist the community’s land conservation objectives. It may also be prudent to borrow money for land purchases for reasons described in the previous chapter. It is recommended that the city maintain a specific budget for land management and facilities development costs. Sources for this funding could include the unallocated portion of the landfill settlement fund, the city’s general fund, state and federa l grants, and private sources. To fund special projects the city also should seek partnerships and financial assistance from private conservation organizations, local lake districts and associations, local service groups, and scouting groups in the area. DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 52 Public Participation and Volunteerism It is recommended that efforts be made to involve the community in conservation planning and implementation. A public hearing shall be held in the ratification of this plan to obtain citizen endorsement of its development and implementation. From time to time, public hearings, or other public forums such as “open houses” may be necessary to inform and obtain input when issues arise that may significantly impact environmental areas or the rural character of the community. However for most conservation related issues the Conservation Commission should continue its service of acting on behalf of the community in making recommendations to the Plan Commission and the Common Council. It is recommended that efforts be made to recruit volunteers to help the community meet its conservation objectives. Involving the community will raise a sense of stewardship for the city’s natural resources. Volunteer activities can range from assisting in land management tasks such as tree planting, seed collection, or invasive plant control, to fundraising efforts. Existing partnerships with scout groups and students should continue and new partnerships with conservation-related associations and groups should be sought. Public Education Information should be available to citizens on a variety of conservation issues. These may include but are not limited to: Invasive species control, native landscaping, urban wildlife management, erosion control, fertilizer and pesticide usage, recycling, and composting. Information and appropriate links to other responsible sources should be available on the city’s website to inform citizens of how their daily habits and management of their own back yards can collectively enhance the conservation goals of the community and beyond. The City Conservation Coordinator should maintain a capacity of consultation to the community on conservation related issues. Outdoor education classes and special events should periodically be offered through the city’s recreation programming. Tree Mitigation This Plan recommends the full enforcement of the tree mitigation code. It is also recommended that mitigation be allowed offsite upon city-owned conservation lands or other conserved lands as recommended by the Conservation Commission. It is further recommended that in lieu of planting trees, the dollar value of tree mitigation may be paid to a segregated fund designated for conservation restoration and management projects. These projects should include reforestation, prairie plantings and maintenance, invasive species control, and wetland restorations. Code changes may be needed to implement these recommended tree mitigation modifications. Tree Preservation In cases where residential development will occur within wooded areas, measures should be taken to minimize the removal of trees and adequately protect the trees that are to remain. Building envelopes should be established and preservation restrictions placed upon the lands outside of the development area. Steps should also be taken to alleviate any construction damage outside of the cleared area. Often the adverse effects of construction activities do not show for several years and are not attributed to the construction because trees slowly decline in health and die several years later. It should be required that home construction plans on wooded lots be reviewed by the City Forester in addition to the DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 53 Engineering Department. Fencing and signage should be erected to assure there is no change of grade or soil compaction within designated preservation areas. Landowners and contractors should be given information to implement practices to adequately protect trees from construction activities. Stormwater Management Facilities In addition to their flood control functions stormwater retention ponds serve to settle solids and assimilate nutrients from runoff water - delivering a cleaner outflow to natural surface waters. These human-made waters bodies provide an excellent opportunity to establish native vegetation and create wildlife habitat. Managing mowed turf around ponds should be discouraged, as this landscape tends to attract Canada Geese that graze upon the turf. Excessive numbers of geese can leave nuisance amounts of defecation that can cause bacteria associated health concerns. Taller native vegetation discourages use by geese because they cannot remain as vigilant for potential predators. A diversity of native flora can enhance habitat for more desirable wildlife such as ducks, shorebirds, butterflies, frogs, and turtles while the interesting structures and colorful blossoms of native plants can improve human aesthetics. Native plants require no fertilization and therefore keep the pond’s nutrient levels lower than fertilized lawn grasses. This reduces the potential for algal blooms, which can be unsightly, cause offensive odors, and can be toxic to humans. It is recommended that the city require in construction specifications and landscape plans the establishment of native vegetation around the side slopes of stormwater retention basins. In many cases the seeding of native vegetation could also include areas of adjacent uplands that are within a communally owned outlot – creating a larger naturalized area. It is further recommended that rain gardens are utilized as a stormwater management tool. Rain gardens allow greater infiltration and evapo-transpiration of water - thus reducing the amount of stormwater runoff and requiring fewer or smaller retention basins. Green Building Technology Green building technology utilizes methods that efficiently use energy, water, and materials in both construction and maintenance. Also known as “sustainable” building, it incorporates practices that reduce energy consumption or even harvest energy for the power grid. Green building practices reduce water consumption and utilize materials that are reusable or derived from renewable resources. Practices that reduce pollution, reduce stormwater runoff, or improve indoor air quality are also considered green building technologies. This plan encourages the use of “green” building technologies in the construction of housing and commercial structures in Muskego. The utilization of green technologies should be a consideration in the granting of “density bonuses” for conservation subdivision developments. Future city building projects should strive to employ green building technologies. Green technologies should be utilized over conventional building practices if they can be shown to recover the initial investment and have greater cost effectiveness over time. Green-built municipal structures will also promote an awareness of efficient and environmentally responsible development to the community and help promote the concept. Specific Recommendations The preceding sections of this chapter discuss general conservation recommendations. The Conservation Commission and city staff evaluated existing conservation lands, DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 54 facilities, and initiatives and considered “a vision” of conservancy for the future population of the community. This vision includes the following specific conservation recommendations: 1. Big Muskego Lake State Wildlife Area Expansion It is recommended that the City of Muskego and the Big Muskego Lake/Bass Bay Protection and Rehabilitation District collaborate with the Wisconsin DNR in acquiring key parcels to protect the best remaining lands in the project area and create larger contiguous conservancy areas around Big Muskego Lake. 2. Badertscher Preserve/Ridges Conservation Site Master Plan A formal plan should be developed to restore habitats, develop trails, establish uses, and create support facilities for the Badertscher Preserve and Ridges Conservation Site. 3. Develop an interpretive center at Engel Conservation Area A facility should be constructed to hold events, meetings, and classes at Engel Conservation Area. It is recommended that construction and maintenance of the facility is mostly or entirely funded with non-public dollars through donations, endowments, or partnerships with other organizations. 4. Expansion of Engel Conservation Area Conservation priority lands north and west of Engel Conservation Area should be acquired to expand the size of this conservancy and help create a greenway that links to Muskego County Park. A trail should be established through this corridor to link two of the largest conservation sites in the community. 5. Promote conservation sites Citizens should become aware of conservation sites in the city so that they can be visited and appreciated. Modest signage should be placed at each of the smaller sites. The new Badertscher Preserve should have more conspicuous signage similar to Engel Conservation Area. City website should include more information. An “Adopt a Conservation Site” could be started where neighboring residents would help with land management activities and develop a sense of stewardship for the site. DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 55 Chapter 8 RECREATION TRAIL RECOMMENDATIONS Introduction Recreation trails described in this chapter are extensions of the transportation system of the city that are intended for the use of non-motorized modes of travel. Most recreation trail facilities are located within existing or planned rights-of-way while others traverse public land holdings or are located within land easements from private owners. These facilities should serve to link the City of Muskego together with a system of safe and functional off- street recreation trail connections to accommodate such activities as walking, running, biking, cross-country skiing, in-line skating, and hiking. Recommended Recreation Trail Additions Recreation trails are proposed to follow road rights-of-way, utility corridors, and easements to facilitate travel within the city and also connect to trails in adjoining communities as part of a regional trail network. It is recommended that future subdivision and other land developments construct proposed trail sections that are adjacent to or within their proposed development area. Trails should have a paved surface in urbanized areas and conform to the specification shown in Figure 10 or Figure 11. Rural trail connections would typically be an unpaved surface of crushed stone. Descriptions of proposed trail additions are presented below and summarized in Figure 9. Locations of recommended trails are depicted on Map 11. Trail additions have been prioritized through the year 2021 and 5-year plans are presented to the Common Council for their approval and funding through the capital budget process. The year indicated on Map 11 is for trail construction. Planning for these trails should commence at least one year earlier. College Avenue: A paved recreation trail (2.3 miles) is proposed within the right-of-way on the south side of College Avenue between Moorland Road on the east and Racine Avenue on the west. Hardtke Drive: A recreation trail (0.2 miles) is proposed within the right-of-way of Hardtke Drive between Martin Drive and Idle Isle Park. Martin Drive: A paved recreation trail (0.1 miles) is proposed within the right-of-way on the south side of Martin Drive between Ranch Road and Hardtke Drive. Lannon Drive: A paved recreation trail is proposed within the right-of-way on the west side of Lannon Drive from Martin Drive to Janesville Road (0.9 miles) and from the WE Energies right-of-way to Woods Road (0.4 miles). Janesville Road: A 5-foot wide concrete paved recreation trail is being constructed within the right-of-way of both sides of Janesville Road from Moorland Road to Lannon Road as part of the Janesville Road reconstruction project in 2012. Trails on both sides of Janesville Road between Lannon Drive and Racine Avenue are planned for 2013. A trail on the south side of the road between Racine Avenue and Mercury Drive then south to the WE recreation trail is planned for 2015. Racine Avenue: A paved recreation trail should be located within the right-of-way on the west side of Racine Avenue extending from College Avenue on the north and link to the DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 56 existing portion in front of the Muskego Centre on the south. This trail should also continue from the south end of the existing section at the WE Energies electrical transmission line trail intersection and extend southward to the city’s south border. A trail should also be located on the east side of Racine Avenue from College Avenue to Woods Road. Woods Road: A paved recreation trail is recommended within the Woods Road right-of-way on the north side of the road. This trail would extend from the city’s eastern border westward to Janesville Road across from Muskego County Park. Portions of this trail have been completed. The trail section from Quietwood Creek Drive to Racine Avenue will be completed in the summer of 2012. WE Energies Right-of-way: A recreation trail extension of crushed limestone traffic bond is proposed within the WE Energies electrical transmission line right-of-way adjacent to Janesville Road on the city’s west side. This trail (1.7 miles) would extend from the west end of the existing WE Energies trail near Muskego Park to the city’s western boundary. This utility corridor currently has an unimproved dirt trail used by horseback riders. North Cape Road: A paved recreation trail (2.1 miles) is proposed within the right-of-way on the west side of North Cape Road extending from Hi View Drive southward to Loomis Road. Muskego Dam/Kelsey Drive: A recreation trail constructed of traffic bond is proposed within the right-of-way on the north side of Muskego Dam Road from Loomis Road westward to Kelsey Drive then to Racine Avenue (approximately 2 miles). It is also expected to be open to horseback riders. Crowbar Drive: A recreation trail (2.6 miles) is proposed within the right-of-way on the east side of Crowbar Drive from the intersection with the WE Energies electrical transmission line ROW trail southward to the Denoon Park entrance. This trail, constructed of crushed limestone traffic bond, is expected to be open to horseback riders. Parker Road: A recreation trail (1.2 miles) is recommended within the right-of-way along Parker Road from Racine Avenue to Crowbar Drive. This trail, constructed of crushed limestone traffic bond, is also expected to be open to horseback riders. Kelsey Drive: A recreation trail (1.2 miles) is proposed within the right-of-way of Kelsey Drive from Racine Avenue to Crowbar Drive. This trail, constructed of crushed limestone traffic bond, is also expected to be open to horseback riders. Bay Lane Drive: A paved recreation trail is recommended within the right-of-way on Bay Lane Drive. This trail would extend from Janesville Road (0.8 miles) southward to Woods Road and facilitate pedestrian traffic to Bay Lane Middle School. Henneberry Road: A recreation trail (1.8 miles) is recommended within the right-of-way along Henneberry Road from Racine Avenue to Crowbar Drive. This trail, constructed of crushed limestone traffic bond, is also expected to be open to horseback riders. Pioneer Road: A paved recreation trail is scheduled for construction for 2012 within the right-of-way of Pioneer Road from Janesville Road to Racine Avenue. Tess Corners Drive: A recreation trail (.95 miles) is scheduled for construction for 2012 within the right-of-way along Tess Corners Drive from Janesville Road to Woods Road. DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 57 Hillendale/Field Drive: A recreation trail (.5 miles) is recommended from Racine Avenue to access Badertscher Preserve. This trail could go southwest along Hillendale then west along Field Drive or a shorter path directly from Racine Avenue could be researched. McShane Drive: A 1.4-mile paved recreation trail is proposed within the right-of-way of Mcshane Drive from North Cape Road to Durham Drive. Northwest Rural Connections: A 3.6-mile rural trail connection is recommended from Tans Drive and Racine Avenue, through the Ridges Conservation site and Badertscher Preserve to an area near Field Drive and Crowbar Road where it will link with the Crowbar Road trail. The trail is proposed to then follow the Crowbar right-of-way south, and resume through the Waste Management site to Janesville Road where it links to the existing WE Energies trail. This rural connection and those described below may not necessarily follow the exact routes as depicted in Map 11. Muskego County Park to Engel Conservation Area Greenway Connection: A 0.7-mile rural trail connection is recommended from the WE Energies trail near Muskego Park to Engel Conservation Area. This trail should follow an off-road route amid the conservation priority lands that lie between these conservancy parklands. Land dedications, acquisitions, and easements should be sought to both expand Engel Conservation Area and complete this “greenway” trail section. Southwest Rural Connection: A 1.5-mile rural trail connection is recommended from the Henneberry Drive to Denoon Park. Big Muskego West Rural Connection: A 2.7-mile rural trail connection is recommended from north intersection of Racine Avenue and Parker Road to Muskego Dam Road near the Big Muskego Lake outlet channel. This trail will run through portions of the Big Muskego Lake Wildlife Area. Big Muskego East Rural Connection: A 4.3-mile rural trail connection is recommended from Muskego Dam Road near the Big Muskego Lake outlet channel extending counterclockwise around the lake to Durham Drive near Holz Drive. Engel Conservation Area to Woods Road: An unpaved footpath (0.3 miles) is planned to connect Engel Conservation Area to Woods Road. This trail will run adjacent to the western boundary of the Settlement Subdivision providing access for residents of this subdivision and Plum Creek subdivision to the north.

Cross section may be straight grade or crowned with a one percent slope as conditions warrant. 2. Base construction of nine foot wide by six inches thick ¾-inch compacted crushed limestone (traffic bond) meeting requirements of State Gradation Number Two. 3. Eight feet wide by two inches thick bituminous concrete base course pavement (asphalt) conforming to the City Street Specifications. 4. Subgrade, gravel grade and pavement grade must be set to adequately drain water. STANDARD PEDESTRIAN PATH - ASPHALT Figure 10: Standard Recreation Trail Detail (Asphalt) DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 61 NON-STANDARD PEDESTRIAN PATH- CONCRETE Figure 11: Non-Standard Recreation Trail Detail (Concrete) Summary The 41 miles of existing recreation trails within the City of Muskego are well used by bicyclists, runners, and pedestrians. Horseback riders and cross-country skiers also utilize portions of these trails. Consideration is being given for equestrian activity on unpaved recreation trails. The addition of approximately fifty trail miles proposed in this plan would facilitate more users and produce a city-wide network of safe routes for non-motorized transportation which would link residential areas to parks, open spaces, schools, and businesses.
