STATEMENT OF PUBLIC NOTICE The Deputy Clerk stated that the meeting was noticed in accordance with the open meeting law. PUBLIC COMMENT - None PUBLIC HEARING A public hearing was held to consider the petition of John Jewell to rezone Tax Key Numbers 2196.954 and 2196.955 from B-3 - General Business District to DR-1 - Downtown Revival District for the purpose of a possible new commercial development. The properties are located on the southwest corner of Janesville Road and Westwood Drive. Planner Trzebiatowski stated the rezoning petition is for two small lots. Neither lot could be developed on its own. Mr. Jewel is working with the property owners: Ralph Llanas and Waukesha County. The lots would be combined for a potential new commercial structure to be built on the site. Mr. Trzebiatowski stated the DR-1 Zoning District was created for this purpose. It was set up to assist properties that were negatively affected by the Janesville Road Reconstruction Project. Staff recommends the rezoning. The Plan Commission has reviewed and also recommends approval subject to any negative comments or concerns that are expressed at this public hearing. No one present requested to be heard. The Mayor declared the hearing closed. CONSENT AGENDA Alderman Kubacki made a motion to approve all items. Alderman Borgman seconded. Motion passed 7 in favor.

On the floor, deferred 2/27/2018 Attorney Warchol stated an agreement has been put together with a required road bond in the amount of $100,000. This was the direction given at the last Council meeting. Integrated Lakes Managment (ILM) has reviewed and agreed to the terms. Director Kroeger noted that the original plan that was submitted may change because the lake is different now. Will only one access point and one haul route be needed? He does not know. Discussion continued regarding the amount of the road bond. Director Kroeger stated he believes his goal is to put the City and taxpayers at minimal risk. However, the Council members make the final decision as to how much risk to take. Aldermen Kubacki and Madden do not believe the amount of the bond is sufficient. Alderman Kapusta supports going forward with the agreement as is. He does not believe it is appropriate to make changes now. The agreement allows Director Kroeger to shut the project down if any damage occurs. Alderman Borgman noted this is not the first dredging project done on Little Muskego Lake. Alderman Borgman called the question. There was not a majority in favor to end discussion. Discussion continued. Vote - Aldermen Wolfe, Hammel, Borgman, Kapusta and Engelhardt - yes. Aldermen Kubacki and Madden - no. Resolution #021-2018 was adopted. Mayor Chiaverotti stated that she intends to put planning for future drawdowns and dredging projects on an upcoming Committee of the Whole agenda.
