weeks. Taube seconded. Patterson made the following comments: This
project is 2-3 times the size of the Terra Development project, we‘re
talking about a 10-year commitment, a commitment to one developer,
25-50% of entire City‘s growth over the next ten years, figures based
on the 10-year plan going the way it should, and one of the major
concerns is growth getting out of hand in the City; we‘ve talked
about management of growth but once sewer comes there, more
development will follow. He stated he would like to keep a
manageable growth in Muskego. Hilt stated he liked controlled growth

severe need for sewers because of failing septic systems and sewers
Taube discussed the current number of living units in Muskego, the
fact that we‘re close to Milwaukee and prime for development. He
discussed 1,500 approved connections on the books with vacant land in
the existing sewer service area; the demographics of the City, and
lack of school space due to mandated programs and development in the
past several years. The Mayor disputed Taube‘s student population
numbers. The motion to defer carried 7-0.
Reso. #240-91 - Determination of Park Dedication Fees for Lake
Forest Apartments. It was felt no resolution might be necessary
because subdivider’s agreement approved on December 11, 1990 required
payment of park dedication fees and fees in effect were $200 per
unit. Because they have not yet been paid, the question was current
fees are now $400 and what is required to be paid today. Simmons
stated he was concerned about the stand pipe and siltation trap that
have not been installed. In order to resolve this issue, Mr. Patch
and Mr. Carity will be invited to the Public Works Committee meeting
on September 26, 1991 to discuss. It was decided to place Resolution
#240-91 on the floor. Simmons moved for adoption, H. Sanders
seconded. Simmons moved to amend to add Paragraph 4 to read:
“Whereas, it appears that Park Dedication fees should have been
collected at the time of execution of the subdivider‘s agreement as
to 104 units” and to amend the last paragraph to add: “...for this
phase only with payment to be made by the fifth working day, which is
Tuesday, October 1, 1991 at 4:30 PM, and if the fee is not paid by
that date, the Park Dedication fee shall be the Park Dedication fee
given to the developer by the Clerk on September 25, 1991.” D.
