Com missioner St inebaugh m ade a m otion t o ADOPT Resolution #P.C. 004-2012. Commissioner Jacq ues seconded. Director M uenkel 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 z oning conversion fee that charged a per acre f ee when changing from EA zoning.) T he State changed the requirements for an owner to receive agricultural tax PAGE 4 Plan Commission Agenda, continued March 6, 2012 credits this past y ear. T he 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 Presery ation pl an; w hich has many req uirements to qualify including committing the parcel s of land to farmland for at I east 15 years and hav ing 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 f arm 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 w ho was taking the preservation tax credit. A publ is hearing was held where a couple people spok e. One person req uested they be rez oned to A -1 and an other person sai d they wanted the propert y 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 z oning. 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.

INTRODUCED: April 3, 2012 LAST AGENDA: N/A PREPARED BY: Adam Trzebiatowski, AICP BACKGROUND PC 023-2012 On March 2, 2012 a submittal was received from Keller, Inc. for Morgan's Collision Center for a new auto collision repair facility along Loomis Road/Muskego Dam Road (Tax Key No. 2293.996.001). CONSISTENCY WITH ADOPTED PLANS 023-2012 Comprehensive Plan: The 2020 Plan de picts th e propert y f or c ommercial u ses. T he pet ition is consistent with the Plan. Zoning: The property is zoned B-4, Highway Business District. The use is permitted subject to CUG and BSO approval. STAFF DISCUSSION PC 023-2012 The submittal included in the supplement consists of a narrative, site/grading plans, building elevations, a colored rend ering, photometric p Ian, a nd lighting details. As state d a bove, t he p etitioner re quests approvals for a new auto collision repair business on a piece of land along Loomis Road, Loom is Drive, and Muskeg Dam Road in the southern portion of Muskego. The proposed building will be 5,660 square feet, including two front offices, a reception counter, lounge area, two bathrooms and the shop area. The building will also contain a paint booth, four works stations, a frame rack, wash bay, estimating bay, and a tool area. Hours of the bus iness are goi ng to be Monday- Friday from 9:OOAM to 6:00 PM. Initi ally the business will employ 2 people. As noted above, a Conditional Use Grant (CUG) is required for the auto repair/body work use on site. A public hearing for this use will be held at the beginning of this meeting on April 3, 2012. Architecture The proposed bu ilding will have a s teel frame and is clad with s plit face CMU, brick, and s teel panels. The steel panels will be taupe sand color and the roof/trim will be slate gray. The CMU masonry units will be red clay in color and the bricks will be a winter blend with rough -estate facing and the masonry has both a C MU reveal a nd a brick accent band. A red accent color will be used on the canvas canopy, aluminum windows and doors, signage, and bollards and the overhead doors will be gray with two panels of full -view windows on each door. This area of the City is governed by the General Design Guide. The guide calls for 50% masonry product unless the Planning Commission finds reasons not to apply the full extent of the guide. The front (office) portion of the building contains 100% masonry with aluminum windows and a standing seam steel roof. The rear (repair bay) portion of the building contains equal portions of masonry and steel, without looking at the doors and windows. The lower half of the walls will be split face CMU and the upper half will be steel panels. Since a paint booth is being proposed inside the building, details need to be provided, for staff approval, at the ti me of building permits on w here the p aint booth exhaust is going to b e located and how this is going to be screened or designed to minimize its visual impact. Based upon the design and material usage on this building and the complimented use to the recently approved new Frey Auto building across the street, staff feels this will be a great addition to this area of the City. Site, Parking, and Access There are ten (1 0) park ing s tall an d on a (1) ha ndicap stall sh own on si te. Al I stal Is m eet t he t ypical required size of 10'x20'. Access to the site is located off Muskego Dam Road via a 24 foot wide driveway and ample two-way traffic access is provided t hroughout the site. Sin ce the parking lot is so small and since there are no formal landscape islands, no curbing should be required on site. Fire Department Approval The bui (ding a nd s ite plan are subject to Fire D epartment rev iew a nd ap provals at t he time of bu ilding permits. Dumpsters/Outdoor Storage There is a 65'x40' enclosed area to the south of the proposed building that will have a gravel surface and be will screened with a n 8 foot to II board -on -board fence that wil I be used to ho use the dumpsters, LP tanks, al I vehicles waiting to be rep aired, an d an y other miscellaneous vehicle items/parts. A detail drawing of the outdoor enclosure will need to be provided at t he time of building perm it approval. T he resolution states that th is fenced enc Iosure m ust be painted to m atch the col or of the structure. This requirement is part of the resolution because the Plan Commission required this for the pro posed Frey Auto property next door. The resolution states that no unscreened outdoor storage of damaged vehicles awaiting repair or j unked vehicles is allowed on th a site. Al I wrecked/junk vehicles, storage, parts, eq uipment, etc. must be kept within the building or within the screened outdoor storage enclosure. Landscaping A landscape plan has been submitted as part of the proposa 1. Review of the landscape plan is pending and the City Forester will work with the petitioner based upon any changes/additions that are n eeded. Additional I andscaping will need to be i nstalled around the o utdoor storage area an d aroun d the f ront parking area. Also, street trees need to be added along th a south lot I ine an d along the west lot I ine, north until equal with the northern most point of the new parking area. A final landscape plan will need to be submitted and approved by the City prior to the issuance of building permits.

Plan Commission City of Muskego Adopted: Denied: Deferred: Introduced: April 3, 2012 ATTEST: Kellie McMullen, Recording Secretary TMKe Planners i Are hHer ltects I Builders Offices in Fox Cities, Madison, Milwaukee &Wausau February 28, 2012 City of Muskego W182 S8200 Racine Ave Muskego, WI 53150 RE: Morgan's Collision Center Conditional Use & Building, Site, and Operation Plan Dear City Plan Commission Members, Ron & Jill Graham are the Owner / Operators of a new start-up business in Muskego. The new business is going to be an Auto Collision Repair facility. The Graham's are current residents of Muskego and have been so for many years. This is going to be the first location for Morgan's Collision Center and the first business for the Graham's. Ron has worked in the Auto -Collision Repair business for over 15 years and is now ready to start his own business. The parcel that they have recently purchased is the 2.47 acres bordering HWY 36, HWY G, & Muskego Dam Rd. It is across the street from All -Star Rentals and Frey Automotive. The current parcel features an old drainage ditch that remains from where HWY G formerly entered HWY 36. This roadside drainage ditch has since grown low performing wetland plant species and contains hydric soils. The current DNR guidelines classify this as a Wetland Area and it will not be disturbed. The reminder of the lot is typical grass area with a few trees. The proposed use for the parcel is Auto Collision Repair & Automobile Painting. The business will initially employ only 2 people. Proposed Site Density ratios are as noted on the site plan. The hours of operation will be Monday — Friday 9:00 am — 6:00 pm. Impacts on traffic will be minimal and will not be a nuisance to neighboring homes or business. The site will be supported by a private well and holding tank. Natural Gas is not available at this location, and two 1,000 gallon LP tanks will be utilized. Electricity will be 3-phase power that will be run to the building from Muskego Dam Rd. ADDRESS P.O. Box 620, Kaukauna, W154130-0620 WEB SITE PHONE FAfI www.kefferbuflds.com 920.766.5795 1.800236.2534 920.766.5004 There will be one two-way traffic entrance off of Muskego Dam Rd. The site will have outside storage enclosed with an 8' high board -on -board cedar wood fence. The fence with be a shadow style with dog-ear tops. This 2,400 SF fenced area will also contain the LP tanks and dumpsters. The site features a lot of natural space that will be mixed with landscaping beds. The building will have two main customer entrances. The front entrance and the estimating entrance. The estimating area will be accessed from the outside by a designated overhead door with an automatic opener. There are also two other overhead doors and one man door for service entrances. Parking for the building is minimal as their will not be a lot of traffic or clients coming to the business at one time. Total there are 10 parking stalls including one handicap stall. The building is a Type IIB steel frame building. The exterior materials consist architectural steel panels, split face CMU, and brick. The steel wall panels will be Taupe Sand color and the roof / trim will be Slate Gray. The CMU masonry units will be Red Clay. The brick will be a Winter Blend with rough -estate facing. The masonry has both a CMU reveal and a brick band accent. The red accent color will be used on the canvas canopy, aluminum windows & doors, signage, and bollards. The overhead doors will be a gray color with two panels of full -view windows. Inside the building will be two offices, a front reception counter and lounge area, two bathrooms, and the shop area. The paint booth and paint room are fully enclosed units. There are four work stations, a frame rack, wash bay, estimating bay, and a tool area. The overall use of the building and site are a good fit to this area of Muskego. This business will be a good compliment to the Frey Automotive business and their future building plan. The overall look of the building is very modern and this shop will have the newest and most advanced auto collision equipment on the market. Ron & Jill are both very excited to establish their new business in the city of Muskego where they currently live and raise their family. They will be a great addition to the Muskego business community. Please feel free to contact Nathan Laurent or Ron Graham with any questions or concerns with this upcoming project.

GO WITH THE GREEN TM Beyond being compliant, Tubelite's sister company Linetec captures and destroys the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) present in solvent -borne paints during the finishing process.100% of the solvents are captured from the painting operations, and destroyed with a $2 million "oxidizer", which burns the VOC's at 1500 degree heat, converting them to harmless water vapor. In doing so, our liquid -paints are just as VOC-free to the environment as powder or waterborne paints. At Linetec's anodize operations, the process does not use heavy metals or toxins and is environmentally friendly. Anodized aluminum is 100% recyclable and uses simple water -based chemistry that can be treated easily and releases no harmful by-products. Linetec's voluntary commitment to a clean and healthy environment goes well beyond industry standards or regulatory requirements. www.tubeliteinc.com 0 800-866-2227 0 Fax 877-299-2414 ■ 3056 Walker Ridge Drive NW, Suite G, Walker, Michigan 49544 FORMED PLASTID OPTION MORGAN Total 5letters COLLISION Total 9.5" tall x 83"wide CENTER MORGAN COLLISION CENTER ASK ABOUT OUR PAINTING SPECIAL Fainted, Routed Aluminum Sign Foundation and Base by Others SIGNworks 501 West Sumner Street Hartford, Wisconsin 292-673-7318 signworkswi.com 108.00" 41 I Ass - - - . - ! : ri4 f . r :.ice Job Name: Please check your proof carefully for accuracy.

Elliot's originally submitted to have planters and plant stands located in front of their entrances to the outdoor garden center and front entrances to the main building. These plant stands would hold various plant merchandise in a pleasing way and was the only form of outdoor storage and outdoor sales materials that was allowed by Planning Commission at the time. Elliot's would like to replace these outdoor stands with pallets of merchandise along the sidewalks in front of the entrances to the outdoor garden center and front entrances. Staff requi red Planning C ommission ap proval s ince ou tdoor sales an d storage was originally approved more contained. Further since PC generally regulates outdoor sales and storage on all other sites in Muskego in order to maintain control and cohesiveness of commercial sites. DISCUSSION PC 026-2012 The petitioners submitted the attached map and nar rative outlining their request. As stated above the s ite was originally approved to only allow a few plant merchandise racks outside of the entrances to th a outdoor garden center an d m ain s tore en trances (s hown on m aps in the s upplement). T he prev ious P lanning C ommission resolution stated that all other outdoor storage or sales is prohibited and should be located inside the store or in the outdoor garden center area per below: BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, No outdoor storage of dumpsters, pallets, supplies, materials, commercial vehicles, equipment, and racking of any type will be allowed on this property with the exception of the one truck parked in the rear truck dock for periodic deliveries, or plants/flowers found on the outdoor landscape block tiered display areas. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, All outdoor storage shall stay within the proposed outdoor storage area and no materials shall be stacked above the outdoor storage area fence line. Per the petitioner's narrative they understand why the Planning Commission has regulated such types of outdoor sales and storage in the past. Thus, they have specific regulations they intend to keep control of if approvals are given such as the following: • Pallets would be kept at one pallet high and only one pallet deep • Pallets would constantly be kept free of all shrink wrap and kept neatly stacked • Broken bags would be removed and repaired immediately/cleaned up daily • Pallets would not exceed seven feet in height The narrative states that they would like to have merchandise in these I ocations from March 1 -September 1 for summer products and from September 1 - November 15t" for fall products. Sig nage on the products would consist of 20"x24" signs on each pallet area. The submitted map shows that ACE would have up 3-4 pallets west of the garden center entrance, 10-12 pallets between the garden center entrance and main entrance, and 4-6 pallets east of the main entrance. STAFF RECOMMENDATION PC 026-2012 The City of Muskego has had a lot of issues with the allowance of outdoor storage in the past especially in regards to bags of material on pallets. Thus, this is mainly the reason why Planning Commission has limited or simply not allowed the amount of outdoor storage and sales on commercial properties. As such, staff suggests Planning Commission take a drive by the ACE location before the meeting in order to get an idea of what they may allow. Any allowance of these outdoor materials and sales on pallets can open it up to other businesses existing in the Moorland corridor as well or those that may come in the future. The resolution is worded for approval based on what is proposed and subject to the restrictions the owner discusses. Plan Commission has a couple options in staff's mind including the following: 1. Approve the resolution as worded. 2. Possible amend the resolution by reducing the amount of pallets allowed. One idea would be to reduce the amount of pallets to better match the amount of area the originally approved planting racks took up (Such as 2 pallets west of the garden center entrance, 6 pallets between the garden center entrance and main entrance, and 4 pallets east of the main entrance). 3. Defeat the resolution and just note that the previous planters are still allowed from Resolution 050- 2010. Staff could then work with the petitioners to allow the planting racks to also display single bags of materials along with their signs as well. Option 3 may be the best way to go about it as the planting racks will look nice while allowing them to display materials still. The enclosed outdoor garden center will work well for the bulk of their materials as well still. Staff can work with them to ensure the planting racks are used in a good manner for displaying any materials along with signage. Ultimately we do not know what types of businesses will come about in the Moorland corridor and it is tough to allow an approval of outdoor storage of pallets without establishing a precedent for future and existing businesses in the area.

PETITIONER: Com. Dev. Department INTRODUCED: April 3, 2012 LAST AGENDA: N / A PREPARED BY: Jeff Muenkel, AICP DISCUSSION PC 025-2012 Parks and Conservation staffs have been preparing updates to the 2012-2016 Parks and Conservation Plan. T he existing plan is entitled the 2007-2011 Parks and Conservation Plan and is ready f or new innovative updates. Copies of the new plan are attached for your review. The Park Board and Conservation Commission have reviewed and approved the plan these past months. The main change/updates from the existing 2007-2011 Plan are as follows: • Inventories of Park lands (Page 13), Conservation lands (Page 23), and trails (Page 21) have all been updated to reflect the current status. • The overall needs assessment of both Parks and Conservation Land (Page 33). This is especially important as the needs assessment works in 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 visitor. o Park Facility Needs (Page 37) • Park Recommendations (Page 41 and Map on Page 42 tells story) • Conservation Recommendations (Page 47 with specific recommendations on Page 53-54) • Rec Trail Recommendations (greatly enhanced now that Muskego has adopted trail capital plan in recent years (Page 59 map) The Chapter 41 amendment will simply adopt the new Parks and Conservation Plan as p art of the C ity Comprehensive Plan. This adoption gives it the weight it needs to enforce the recommendations found within on future developments and decisions.

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 f or quality activ e and passiv a out door recreati onal opportuni ties 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 w here ex isting recreatio n f acilities are i nadequate to sery e the present and future needs of the people of Muskego • Develop a pl an of action to meet both the curr ent and f uture recreational demands of the public • Inv entory Muskego's natural resource base • Ev aluate and prioritize lands of environmental significance, scenic views, and trail con nectivity to be considered for preservation and prov ide strateg ies 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 R ecreation Department staff is directly responsible for park development, maintenance and operations, as w ell as the administration of al I municipal recreati on programs. The Parks and Recreation Department also oversees two public access cabl e 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 D irector. In 2009, staff was reduced two full time positions and f our seasonal po sitions. C urrently just one full ti me Park s Maintenance Worker and a reduced staff of seasonal maintenance workers are under the direction of the Parks Supervisor. Seasonal recreation prog ram i nstructors are staf f to the R ecreation Program Manager. The Park s and R ecreation D irector report s to the M ayor and Common Council, and provides staff support to the Park s and Recreation Board. The City of Muskego Parks and Recreation Board is composed of six citizens and one Comm on Council member and is advisory to the Common Council. Administration of the Conservation Program The Community D evelopment Department i s responsi ble f or conservation pl anning and DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan management in the City of M uskego. Code s and land use pl anning objectives are implemented to g uide resi dential and commercial dev elopments in a m anner t hat also strives to presery a env ironmentally sig nificant lands and other open spaces . T he department also establishes land acquisition priorities and land management objectives. The Com munity Development De partment Director oversees the Planni ng, Building, and Conservation Divisions of the Department. The Conservation Coordinator, who also serves as the City Fo rester, rep orts to the D irector and i s responsi ble f or f orestry, I akes, and conservation projects. T he Conservation Coordinator oversees a half -time Conservation Technician w ho assi sts i n associ ated f ieldwork and of fice 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 mak es recommendations to the Planning Commission and Common Council on matters concerning urban forestry and conservation. DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan Chapter 2 COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT Geography The Cit y of M uskego is located in southeastern W aukesha County, and encompasses 23,023 acres of land, or approx imately 35.8 square miles. The city is bounded to the w est 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 Lak e M ichigan Lobe of the Wisconsin g laciation ev ent more than ten thousand y ears ag o dur ing t he Pleist ocene Epoch. While the majority of the comm unity has the f latter topography of outwash plains, the northw estern portion of the city contai ns the rol ling topog raphy of moraines and drumlins. Water Resources Muskego has f our major w ater bodi es w ithin it s ci vil boundari es. Big Muskego Lake is a shallow 2,260-acre I ake that i s f ringed with wetlands and encompasses islands of cattail marsh. Bass Bay is a 100-acre connected embayment of Big M uskego Lake and has a deeper basin ty pical of other g lacially f ormed k ettle la kes in t he r egion. Re cent rehabilitation efforts have enhanced the water quality, plant diversity, and fish and wildlife habitat of both Bass Bay and Big M uskego Lake. Li ttle M uskego 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 M uskego Canal, which is the outlet of Big Muskego Lake. Tess Corners Creek is located in the northeast part of the city. N umerous 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 M ichigan and the Atlantic Ocean Basin, and lands to the west of the divide flow towards the Gut f of Mexico. T he 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 characteri stics v ary g reatly w ithin the communi ty but g enerally fall into three soil associations (or types). The soi Is of the nort hwestern portion of the city are w ell drained soils der ived f rom g lacial t ill. So ils s urrounding Big Muskego Lake are poorly drained to well -drained soils formed in shallow glacial Iakebeds. Soi Is 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 rel atively hi gh cla y component and some hav e a hi gh content of org anic material. M any soi Is in the area hav a 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 Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC) Planning Report No. 8, Soils of Southeastern Wisconsin, and in the Soi I Consery ation 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 identif ied by the Southeastern W isconsin R egional PI anning C ommission (SEWRPC). More discussion of environmentally significant lands in M uskego 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 W isconsin Reg ional Planni ng Commission ( SEWRPC) has iden tified and delineated areas in the reg ion w hich contai n concentrations of natural resource and resource -related amenities. Env ironmental corridors and isol ated natural resource areas contain almost all of the remaini ng high -value wetlands, woodlands, wildlife habitat areas, major surf ace waters, and delineated f loodlands and shorel ands. Pri mary environmental corridors are g enerally larger contiguous areas of such I ands, usually along major surface waters. Secondary env ironmental corr idors are shorter, narrow er conti uous areas of environmentally sig nificant lands. Isol ated 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 ecolog ical balance and natural beauty of the reg ion. Consideration of these environmentally significant lands is theref ore important in the acq uisition and development of conservation and park lands. T he SEW RPC-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 al I of the hi gh q uality 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 detai led in SEWRPC Planning Report No. 42, A Regional Natural Areas and Critical Species Habitat Protection and Management Plan for Southeastern Wisconsin (1997).' Natural areas are defined as tracts of land or water so little modif ied by human ac tivity, or s ufficiently recovered from the effects of such activity, that they contain intact native plant and animal communities believed to be representat ive of the landscape before European settlement. Natural areas are classi fied into one of the f ollowing three categ ories: natural areas of statewide or g reater sig nificance (NA -1); natural areas of county wide or reg ional significance (NA-2); or natural areas of local significance (NA-3). Classification into one of these three categ ories is based upon consider ation of the di versity of pl ant and animal species and comm unity types present as w ell as size, uniqueness, extent of disturbances, and educational value. 1 This plan was updated by SEWRPC in December 2010. 4 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan Critical species habitat sites ( CSH) ar a ident ified b y SEW RPC 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. Presery ation of natural area s and cri tical speci es habi tat areas are an i mportant consideration in the pl anning 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 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 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 si nce 1990. T he C ity 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 f rom downtown Milwaukee, M uskego is considered to be within t he socio -economic inf luence of t he Southeastern W isconsin reg ion. T his reg ion, w hich incl udes Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Walworth, Washington, and Waukesha Counties, has a 2010 population of 1,801,688. 30000 25000 0 20000 15000 Q. a° 10000 5000 0 1900 1910 1920 1930 1940 1950 1960 1970 1980 19 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 runsjust north of the city, connecting M ilwaukee to Bel oit. County T runk Highway (CTH) L, also known as Janesville Road, is a highway serving the northern half of Muskego, running in a southwest to northeast di rection and into Milwaukee County. ST H 36 ( Loomis Road) is a four -lane highway in southeastern M uskego that also connects to Milwaukee. CT H HH, also known as Col lege Av enue, f orms much of the c ity's northern border. CTH O (Moorland Road) connects t he north cent ral part of t he c ity t o Interstate 43. CT H O O ( North Ca pe Road) runs in a north -south di rection on the c ity's east side. CTH Y (Racine Avenue) runs in a north -south direction through the west -central part of the community. Land Uses Residential Dev elopment: T he City of M uskego boasts a w ide v ariety of resi dential housing. Resi dential land uses rang e f rom I ow densi ty countr y estat es, to cl ustered planned unit development, to high density lake homes and condominiums. DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan Commercial Development: Commercial uses in the City of Muskego are generally found in three areas: Janesville Road, including the int ensely dev eloped T ess Co rners ar ea, t he Moorland Road inter section, and Downtown, locat ed in t he nor th-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 identif ied abov a represent the bulk of commercial activ ity i n M uskego. T heir functions vary from professional office uses, neig hborhood and comm unity oriented retail uses, and highway oriented uses. Industrial/Business Development: The Muskego Business Park encompasses 200 acres of land i n the w est-central pa rt of the ci ty. The business park is adja cent to County T runk Highway Y (Raci ne Avenue) and is just minu tes f rom Interstate H ighway 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: T he city is host to a num ber of landfills and extractive uses. Currently there are two landfill sites and one extractive site of significant size within the city limits. T he W aste M anagement, I nc. landf ill s ite loc ated near the northeast corner of Janesville and Crowbar Roads is approximately 1 23 a cres in s ize and has been permanently c apped. Veolia Env ironmental Se rvices Em erald Par k Landf ill I ncorporated (formerly Onyx Emerald Park Landfill) is located in t he southeast region of the city, near State Trunk Highways 36 and 45. T he site contains 480 total acres of property. However, only 35 acres are curr ently eng aged in landfill activ ities. T he ci ty has approv ed an additional 55 acres of expansion area. The Payne & D olan, Inc. ex tractive si to i s located di rectly w est of the f ormer W aste Management, I nc. landfill site, at the northwest corner of Janesville and Crowbar Roads. The extractive use encompasses 293 conti guous acres and suppl ies various sand, g ravel, stone, concrete, and asphalt products to numerous projects in southeastern Wisconsin. Agriculture/Open Space: Ag riculture/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 activ e croplands are mostly located in the southern and w estern portions of the community. Recreational Development and Env ironmental 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 Land Use Summary Figure 3 illustrates the land us a composition of the City of M uskego in effect in J anuary 2011. Map 3 depicts the spatial distribution of these land uses within the city. Clearly, non - urban ag ricultural land uses occupy the larg est amount of land area in the Comm unity.

These trails facilitate non -motorized modes of travel including cycling and pedestrian use. The 25 miles of these trai Is that have a paved surface canal so accommodate the use of wheelchairs, strollers, and i n-line skates. The trail network connects several parks and areas of environmentally significant lands. The City of Muskego utilizes approximately ten m iles 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 int ersection o f J anesville and W oods Road s and is c onstructed of crushed limestone. T he 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 M uskego 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 (Raci ne County) trai I.

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, park s and recreation st aff 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 trai I assessment f actors deemed nece ssary by the D OJ, the trai I assessment wording in affect and approved by the Parks & Recreation Board is: Because of the hi gh number of trai I users (f actor II) w ith mul ti-use activities occurri ng 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 1) on all park trails. Also, per the city's trail agreement lease with WE Energies, they have determined that for safety reasons (factor IV) there are "no motorized recreational vehicles, including but not limited to snowmobiles, motor bi kes, mi ni-bikes, moto r cy cles, mopeds, g o-carts, and al I -terrain vehicles will be used, operated, or permitted on the licensed premises. Licensee/Licensor (City/WE Ener gies) s hall hav e t he r ight t o use m otorized v ehicles f or patrol and maintenance of the right-of-way lands used for hiking, biking, and cross -county ski trails." 21 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 22 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 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 hav a some le vel of protection f rom development to other uses. T hese lands include woodlands, wetlands, and prairies th at hav a nativ a or naturalized vegetation g rowing upon them. Conservation lands incl ude publ icly owned lands t hat hav a been specifically identified as consery ation lands or areas of native/naturalized vegetation cover that exist within developed parks. Also incl uded are private lands with recorded preservation restrictions or conservation easements and lands owned by conservation organizations. I n 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 I and surf ace area. Of thi s total 1 47 acres I ie w ithin C ity of M uskego 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 f ollowing section brief ly describes the si ze, I ocation and cov er ty pes of city -owned conservation si tes. M ore detai led descri ptions of v egetative cov er ty pes f or 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 201 2. The site has woodlands, rolling glacial topography, croplands, wetlands, and a t ributary 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 oa k trees over 200 years old. This site lies immediately adjacent to the City of Muskego's 27-acre "Ridges" conservation site. A si to plan will be developed to restore agricultural lands to native land cover types and establish outdoor recreation uses and attendant facilities.

Figure 5: Conservation Lands in Muskego - 2011 (Part 2 of 2) 25 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan Big M uskego Lak e Access (D urham Drive): This ei ght-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 M uskego Lak e/Bass Bay. T he site incl udes wetlands and primary environmental corridor along the lake's shore. Big Muskego Lak a and the surrounding marsh contain habitat for two endangered bird species, the Forster's Tern and the Comm on T ern, one threatened bi rd spec ies, the Great Eg ret, and one threatened reptile, the Blanding's turtle. The marsh is classified as a natural area of reg ional significance (N A-2) i n the 2010 updated Southeastern W isconsin Reg ional Planning Commission document: A Regional Natural Areas and Critical Species Habitat Protection and Management Plan for Southeastern Wisconsin. Blattner Conservation Site: A sev en -acre pa rcel of land contai ning open g rown oak and hickory trees and an isol ated 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 si to encompasses 16 acres of older growth oak woodlands classified as an isolated nat ural 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 outl of 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 t he m ajority is in t he 100 -year floodplain. In 2010 the parcel s 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 southw estern portion of the city and is adj acent to the northwestern shore of Lake Denoon. T he 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 w et prairie pl antings), and 31 acres of upland prairie pl antings w ithin the property. A 67-acre area on the northern half of the property was enrolled into the Natural Resources Cons ervation Ser vice ( NRCS) W etlands Re serve Pr ogram. T he US F ish & Wildlife Service supported proj ects to re -establish the upland prairies and restore other wetland areas. Several scout and v olunteer projects have helped enhanced the habi tats and dev eloped support facilities. Engel Consery ation Area has of f st reet park ing f or approximately 16 vehicles and a portable restroom facility. The approximate four miles of hiking trai Is that trav erse the site have interpretive si gnage f or sel f-guided nature w alks. 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. 27 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 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. I n 2002, an adjacent old field of 1.5 acres was converted to prairie v egetation and pl anted w ith Bur oak s and Shag bark hickories as a project to recreate an oak savanna cover type. Holz I sland: T his undev eloped one -acre island located near t he east ern shore of Lit tle Muskego Lake was dedicated to the city for conservation purposes by Rudolf Holz in 1972. It i s enti rely f orested w ith a mixture of hardwood trees and is classi fied by SEW RPC as primary environmental corridor. Horn Field/Old Muskego Historical Center : T his 30-acre park si to I ocated i n the north - central portion of the city contai ns an isol ated natural resource area w ith 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. Fo ur acres of prairie was planted around the pond's perimeter wh ile t he remainder is leased for agriculture. Future plans will plant the remaining area to prairie. Kurth Park: This 18-acre neig hborhood park is located in the northeastern portion of the city. T ess 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 C emetery: T his cemetery, covering 0.6 acres, contains the burial sites of some of the earliest European sett lers 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 identif ied 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 pl anting surr ounding 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: T his 7.6-acre mi xed hardw ood f orest si to I ocated i n 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 unnam ed Bass Bay (Big Muskego Lake) tributary stream bi sects this 37-acre park. Fi ve acres of prairi a were pl anted at t he t ime of developing the active use areas in the northern portion of the park. The southern portion of the park is predominantly wetland and f loodplain. Eleven acres of wet prairie and an addi tional 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. 28 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan Park Arthur: Thirty-five acres of this formerly undeveloped 61-acre park site on the far north central part of t he city w ere dev eloped in 2011- 2012. T he park cont ains 6 acres of woodlands, 3 acres of wet woodlands, and 2 acres of wetland within an isol ated natural resource area. Park development i ncluded the seedi ng 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 pl atting of Quietwood East subdivision. Com bined with conservation lands in M oorland Park and C andlewood 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 secondar y env ironmental corr idor. The sit e has a spring -fed stream I ocally k nown as "Spring Creek" that flows through a valley between drumlin g lacial features and is tributary to Li ttle M uskego Lak e. Land management at this si to has i ncluded prescri bed bu rns to restore native vegetation, and disabling of drain tiles to restore hydrology. The city recently purchased approx imately 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: T his 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 inv asive species manag ement projects in M uskego. A boardwalk trail with interpretive nature signage traverses Betty's Woods. A small patch of prairie was also planted adjacent to Racine Avenue. Woodcrest H eights W etlands: 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: T his 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 manag es 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. T he f orest has a diversity of h ardwood speci es i ncluding 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 w ell as ex ceptionally diverse spring woodland flora. State Conservation Lands In 1999, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) set a 3,800-acre project boundary f or establishi ng the Big Muskego Lake State W ildlife Area. However, only undeveloped lands w ith env ironmental sig nificance and restoration potential w ithin thi s project ar ea ar e t ypically s ought. Land is ac quired only from w illing sellers and with 29 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan available f unding. T hus, the realized siz e of the wildlife area can be ex pected to be a fraction of the proj ect area. T he purpose of the w ildlife area is to protect, enhance, and manage the aquatic and terrestrial resources of Big Muskego Lake and surrounding lands, as well as to prov ide 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 SEW RPC. T he area has habitat f or an ex ceptional diversity of wildlife inc luding s everal c ritical s pecies: Forster's tern (endang ered), Great Egret (threatened), and Black T ern (special conc ern). Big M uskego Lak e w as the f irst and currently one of the only pl aces in W aukesha C ounty to hav a nesti ng Bal d eagles and Ospreys. The rich diversity of wildlife associated with Big Muskego Lake and surrounding marshlands has g arnered the designation as an "Important Bird Area" and as one of just 229 "Land Legacy" places in Wisconsin. Figure 5 compil es only the land surfaces of conservation in t he community. Similarly only land surfaces are tallied in the park land totals in Figure 4 in Chapter 3. However Muskego is fortunate to hav a several major w aterways within its boundaries incl uding Big M uskego Lake, Lit tle M uskego Lak e, Lake Denoon, and Bass Bay as w ell 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 f or everyone's use and enjoy ment to fish, swim, boat, hunt, and simpl y enjoy the natural scenic beauty . T hus publ is waterways should be recog nized w hen ev aluating the parks and consery ation att ributes of the community. Collectiv ely Muskego has 3009 acre s of public surf ace waters (14% of the community) that provide open space, recreation and wildlife habitat. Other Conservation Lands There are also 454 acres of lands w ithin the comm unity that are consery ed through other various mechani sms. This total i ncludes 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 incl uded 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 identif ies these privately owned conservation lands and Map 7 depicts their locations. Conservation Planning Provisions Land Dedications: City of M uskego M unicipal Code allows for the acquisition of lands through dedication when they are desig nated in a comprehensiv a 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 Pr eservation Restrictions: The city may also request that developers encompass environmentally significant lands within an outlot that is collectively owned by the resi dents of the subdi vision and hav a presery ation restr ictions 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 lang uage w ith the County Reg ister of Deeds of fice to tak a cert ain 30 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan development rig hts aw ay f rom the propert y an d/or limit cert ain uses. A conservation easement g ives t he eas ement holder the a bility t o enf orce t he t erms of t he a asement 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 permi is smal ler I ots than the base z oning w ould ty pically al low i n ex change f or preserving areas desig nated as a consery ation priority. D evelopers f irst determine the yield of lots that conv entional zoning would allow. De nsity bon uses ( additional lots) a re allowed in exchange for preservation of these lands, as w ell as other prov isions such as prairie establishment, wetland restorations, and trail connections. Lots are then clustered in developable areas w ith larg er contig uous trac is 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 ex ecute open space manag ement pl ans 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 heig ht (4.5 feet above grade). D evelopers must pl ant trees speci es 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 f or consery ation acq uisitions has been made primarily throug h 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 f unds ar e t ypically us ed f or im proving t he q uality of Iif e. T he c urrent la ndfill 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 di rect pay ment is di rected to a La nd and Open Space Consery ation 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. Newland developments are required to dedicate park and ope n space lands w here desig nated 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. T hese monies are collected in a segregated account for acquisition and development purposes. Promotion and Recognition of Muskego's Conservation Efforts Muskego has recei ved recog nition f or i is consery ation of forts. Muskego's precursor conservation planning document, City of Muskego Conservation Plan 2001, received an award f rom the W isconsin Chapter of the American Planning Association in 2002. The National Arbor Foundation has recog nized Muskego as a Tree City USA since 1998 f or 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 marshl and w as named as a Wisconsin "Important Bird Area." Fu rther, the Wisconsin Bird Conservation Initiative honored the City of M uskego in 2010 as one of the first communities in the state to be recognized as a "Bird City Wisconsin." 31 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 32 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan Chapter 5 PARKS AND CONSERVATION LAND NEEDS ASSESSMENT Introduction Municipal park sy stems and consery ation I ands sho uld encompass a variety of classifications and offer varied passive and active recreational opportunities. Development of the sy stem is a long -term endeavor, requiring the community to continually evaluate its parks and consery ation needs in response to land use chang es, population growth, and transportation considerations. T he classification of parks and open space ty pes and the preparation of standards is the f irst step in assuring that the comm unity is meeting the needs of its residents and visitors. Park Classifications and Standards The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), as w ell as park and pl anning departments across the nation , are now pl acing more emphasi s 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 f or one comm unity are of ten not appropriate f or another. T his v iew promotes a systems -based pl anning approach that t ranslates local information into a f ramework f or meeting the physical, spatial, and facility requirements that enable a community to develop local level of service guidelines. In recog nition of thi s inf ormation, the f ollowing 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 ty pically incl ude pl ayground eq uipment, sandl of pl ay f ields, picnic shelter, and basketball courts. Nei ghborhood 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 33 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan Accessibility Standard: 2.5 mile radius Community Parks are intended to sery a passive and activ a recreational needs of several neighborhoods. T hese park s of fer a di versity of comm unity -oriented facilities such as swimming beaches, q uality sof tball/baseball diamonds and soccer f ields, trail -oriented recreation, I ake access, and w inter sports. Support f acilities, w hich include restrooms, shelters, and park ing, are f ound in comm unity park s. T hey 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 la rge areas and ty pically incl ude surf ace w aters 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 bey and the scope of this municipal parks and open space plan, and is typically initiated by higher levels of government. Special Use Parks Special use park s cov er a broad rang a of recr eation f acilities 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 neig hborhood and comm unity park acreage. No att empt was made to determ ine how M uskego County Park, the only regional park i n the ci ty, serves the communi ty on a per capi to basi s si nce thi s park draws u sers from beyond city boundaries. D iscussion 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 34 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 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. T he smal ler shaded circles define the sery ice areas of neig hborhood park s and represent a reasonable walking distance (1.0 mile) for most park users. The larger shaded areas show the area sery ed by a comm unity park (2.5-mile radius) — typically a short driv e for park users. Muskego County Park serves the regional park needs of the entire city. The southeastern portion of the city contai ns the larg est con tiguous area not sery ed 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 pers ons in 2020. W hile this plan is designed to f acilitate park planning for a five-year period for DNR g rant eligibility, the 2020 population level is used to coordinate recommendations of thi s pl an w ith t he Cit y o f M uskego Com prehensive L and 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 prov ision of reg ional park s is bey and the scope of thi s pl an. C hapter 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 neig hborhoods are formed, accessi bility to ex isting park s shoul d be ev aluated. If ex isting park s are not accessible, then new park s sh ould be dev eloped in these new resi dential 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. 35 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 36 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 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 prov ided 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. T herefore thi s analysis was el iminated f rom use in subseq uent park planning documents. Basi cally, the provision of recreation facilities should accommodate the reasonable demand of the public. A primary function of the Park s and Recreation Board is to make determinations of park facility needs based upon input from stakeholders, ci tizen user g roups, and those w ho schedule recreation events. The Board has recognized a need to: 1. Research the f easibility of a f ieldhouse for basketball courts, volleyball courts, and other indoor recreation activ ities requiring g ymnasium space due to th e 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 v olleyball court and g ive f uture consideration of providing a basketball court at Moorland Park (further research is needed for this location). 4. Meet dog park needs by al locating f uture park space or w ork 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 activ a use park s f or 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 athlet is f acilities 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.

Continue trying to work with Waste Management and their closed landfill located in the northw est portion of the city to provide f or publ is trai Is and obsery ation deck/tower. 11. Identify parkland for purchase/development in the southeast portion of the city. 12. Purchase Boxhorn launch and associated land f or a f uture pa rk (would mee t southeast Muskego's need for parkland) or possibly extend I ease/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 f acilitate passive recreational activities and the obsery ation, appreciation, and 37 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan study of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Conservation lands include forests, wetlands, prairies, and lands adja cent to surf ace w aters that hav a some lev el of protection from development into other human uses. They include publicly owned lands with the expressed or implied purpose of resource protection. Pr ivate land areas w ith 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 sev eral ecosystems thereby preserving a g reat diversity of plants, wildlife, and geological features. T hey can also be I inear in shape f ollowing natural corri dors such as rivers to preserve floodplains or bluff lines to presery e scenic v istas. Smal Ier, 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 ecolog ical sig nificance, and; 2. the need the community has f or areas of ecol ogically significant open spaces and pa ssive recreation uses. T he f irst case incl udes land areas that contain diverse native plant communities and/or harbor rare or di verse w ildlife. The community need f or conservancy I ands centers on the prov ision of services these lands provide: recreation, outdoor education, stormwater management, air quality and aesthetics. Prioritization of Conservation Areas To establish consery ation need f rom the land perspecti ve a prio ritization must be established using ecological criteria. That is, those lands with the most conservation value have the g reatest need to be presery ed. A consery ation prior itization f or t he City of Muskego is found in Chapter 7. T his prioritization represents an update and ref inement of conservation priority areas identif ied in the City of Muskego Conservation Plan ( 2001). Several factors are consi dered i n rank ing th a areas incl uding ecolog ical sig nificance, development pressures, and scenic views. Connectivity to existing conservancy areas and relative size are al so important factors: a major tenet of ecology is that larger contig uous tracts of habitat support a g reater diversity of organisms. For example, many bird species require large forested areas versus small woodlots. Communitv'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 g ather citizen input in preparing the city's 2020 Comprehensive Plan. Figure 8 shows the level of agreement with eight statements regarding conservation issues. 38 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan Survey Statement No Disagree Disagree Neutral Agree Strongly Opinion Strongly Somewhat Somewhat Agree Wetland pres ervation of forts by t he c ity 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% 1 am willing to allow city dollars to be used to s upport pres ervation of forts (w ater 2.4% 14.4% 11.0% 16.2% 36.9% 19.2% quality, woodland... .

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 w illing t o pay hig her t axes t o d o s o. M ost residents also favored mai ntaining the curr ent 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 t o consider t he services which conservation lands provide. Undeveloped land surfaces provide storm water infiltration w hich att enuates f looding pot ential, remov es sediment and pollutants, and recharges g roundwater suppl ies. Flourishing p lant c ommunities im prove a it q uality b y absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Some studies have also shown that green spaces reduce st ress, allow medical patients to heal more q uickly, and can reduce driv er aggression. Many of these benef its are di fficult to q uantify in term s of dollars but shoul d also be considered when evaluating the community's need for conservation lands. 39 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 40 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan Chapter 6 RECOMMENDED PARK PLAN Introduction The previous chapters presented an inv entory and anal ysis of how well the ex isting park sites meet the needs of the current and future population of the City of Muskego. The next step in the plannin g process is t o m ake recommendations t o f ulfill t he iden tified needs. These incl ude additional facilities at ex isting sites, land acq uisition, and development of facilities at proposed park sites . Location s of the recommendations outlined below are depicted in M ap 9. T his recommended plan w ill serve as a g uide 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 v arious park site s hav a been pl anned by the Park s and Recreation Department and approved by the Parks and Recreation Board but hav e yet to be impl emented. T his section describes th ese pl anned improv ements as w ell 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 a nd 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 t o hav a screening enclosures in place by t he end of 2014. Baseball f ield restoration is scheduled f or every 4-5 years, based on monies av ailable and restoration need. Moorland Park: Landscaping is al so pl anned around the parking area. T he Parks and Recreation Board have adopted a preliminary site pl an that in cludes a shel ter with storage and bathrooms. A water "sprayground" is recommended at this site as an addition to the playground f or summ er recreation and rel ief f rom heat. A sand v olleyball court is also recommended. A basketball court should also be considered based upon determ ination of community need. The need for a fieldhouse with gymnasium space should also be explored further. There is a possibl a shift of amenities to other Io cations and sal a of park, if desired.

O ther pot ential f acilities inc Jude a pav ilion w ith r estroom f acilities, picnic areas, playground eq uipment, additional parking areas, an eq uestrian and pe destrian 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 ev entually the entrance off College Avenue (per W aukesha County direction/approval). Possible shift of amenities of Park Arthur W est to other locations and sal e of west half of park (17 acres), if desired (Ord. #1317 - 04-13-2010).

Old M uskego Sett lement Centre : Recommend ations i nclude si to I andscaping. The Muskego Historical Society is cooperating with the city to maintain, manage, and utilize this site. 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 neig hborhood park of at least 20 acres in size is r ecommended f or t he sout heastern portion of t he c ity, in U. S. Public Lan d Su rvey Section 24 or 25. Acreag e f or thi s park could v ary depending on the amount of environmentally sig nificant lands i t mi ght contai n. Proposed f acilities coul d i nclude a playground, a bask etball court, tw o tenni s courts, a sof tball/baseball diamond, picnic facilities, a pl ay f ield (soccer) area, restr ooms and appropriate su pport f acilities. A pedestrian trail within the park and link age to the city wide recreation trai I 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 comm unity. T he 2020 Plan f ound there is no di rect access or v iews to Li ttle 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 larg er property exists to the ea st of the dam that has the possibility to be incorporated with other properties in this area to create a larg a lake access and v iew shed along the heavily traveled Janesville Road. 43 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan The 2020 Pla n further states that future lake accesses and view sheds will hopefully bring the lak efront back into the community and create new opportunit ies f or resi dents and visitors to enjoy an original amenity that Muskego has for so long been recognized. Based upon this recommendation, this Parks and Conservation Plan adopts the same and recommends that a f uture lakefront park and supporting development be pursued f or this area al ong Li ttle M uskego Lak e. 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 ex amine possible options f or creating trails and an obsery ation tower on this site for public access/use. Shared Park Facilit ies w ith M uskego Norw ay School District: (Ord. #1317 - 04-13-2010) Opportunities may present themselves to share unused lands w ith the Muskego Norway School District w here Muskego can incorporate centralized park amenities in one location. Two potential locations ex ist: Lake Denoon M iddle School land along Kelsey Drive, and in the school district -owned land sout h of M cShane Driv e. Possi ble partnershi ps 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 possi ble, cl ustered f acilities for ba seball, soccer, and f ootball f ields. These discussions should al so tak a pl ace w ith any approv ed ref erendums f or new school facility/grounds expansion. Urban Forestry Recommendations for Parks All forestry pl anning an d operations w ithin ci ty park s shoul d f ollow recommendati ons outlined within the adopted City of Muskego Urban Forestr y Strateg is and M anagement Plans. T hese plans provide recommendations for the establishment and management of the tree population w ithin 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 f or staff, equipment, and trai ning. T his pl an al so 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 dev elopments are req uired to de dicate park and open space lands w here 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. T hese monies are col lected in a segregated account for acquisition and development purposes. The c urrent landf ill ag reement between t he City of M uskego a nd 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 f urther assist in park development and acquisition. 44 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan It may also be prudent to borrow money for land purchases since the f ull purchase price may not be currently av ailable and future residents (mortgagers) will benef it f rom t he acquisition. Also, more f avorable park and open space land acquisition opportunities exist in the present because land become s subdivided and fragmented over time. Borrowing to purchase I and versus waiting and sav ing up f or a I and acq uisition 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 activ ely pursued. Federal, state, and priv ate g rants shall al so be sought to financially assist the acquisition and management of parklands. It i s 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 w ould prov ide the ci ty resi dents a wide variety of accessible recreational opportunities. To adeq uately sery ice thes a addi tional park sites and f acilities, due consideration should be given to staffing and equipment needs. 45 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan IM DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan Chapter 7 RECOMMENDED CONSERVATION PLAN Introduction This chapter presents recommendations f or consery ing environmentally sig nificant lands within the City of Muskego. Mechanisms for conservation include land acquisitions through fee simple purchase, I and dedications, easements, and other pl anning techniques such as conservation developments. Recommendations on acquisition funding, management costs, municipal code modi fications, and pol icies to meet land conservation objectives are al so 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 • R educed vehicular traffic • Reduced stormwater runoff and flooding • Cleaner surface waters • Groundw ater recharge • Air pollution reduction Conservation Priorities This section presents a prioritiz ation of lands that shoul d be consi dered f or conservation with the community. It rep resents an update and refinement of conservation priority areas identified in the City of Muskego Conservation Plan (2001). Areas identified by SEW RPC as natural areas, critical species habi tats, environmental corridors, and isolated natural resource areas are al I included. Essentially al I wetlands and of der -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 w ildlife habi tat. The siz e of an ecolog ically significant land area als o pla ys a r ole in ranking as larger contiguous tracts of habitat typically support a g reater diversity of plants and wildlife. M ap 10 shows the locations of land areas identif ied as hig h, medium, or low conservation priority. High Conservation Priority Areas: Lands classified as a "High Conservation Priority" are generally larger t racts of land w ith hig her quality env ironmental f eatures such as of der growth f orests or I arger, conti guous w etland areas. Land areas that provide continuity between larg a tracts of hi gh q uality env ironmental f eatures are al so i ncluded. Strong consideration shoul d be g iven to acq wiring I ands i n thi s desi gnation should they become available. Those lands not acq uired shoul d be protected throug h other conser vation 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 moderatel y siz ed and/or the environmental f eatures t hat t hey cont ain m ay be of somewhat lower quality than those designated as high priority. 47 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 48 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan Low Consery ation Priority Ar eas: T hese land areas are generally smaller tracts of environmental features. T his designation includes drained or deg raded wetlands or lower quality woodlands. Also included are extensively fragmented, older -growth woodland areas that remain after previous subdivision or other development of I and. In most cases, I ow conservation priority lands would be protected through means other than acq uisition - 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 f easible to acq uire these land s throug h f ee simpl a purchase they may be preserved throug h land dedications, conservation easements, presery ation restr ictions, 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 strateg y to the Planni ng C ommission an d the C ommon C ouncil to preserve or minimize the development impact of such lands. It is further recommended that the city proactiv ely seek to acq uire some of the hi ghest prioritiz ed areas bef ore 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. O my in extremely rare circumstances should eminent domain powers ever be executed upon an unw illing seller as a m eans of acquiring conservation lands. High priority lands should receive more consi deration for acquisition, followed by medium, and then low . Hig her c onsideration s hould be g iven t o ac quisitions t hat will create larger contiguous area of conserved lands of environmental significance. Greater consi deration should al so be g iven f or acq uisitions that help link t he pr oposed t rail net work t hat is presented in the nex t chapter. Some potential conservancy lands may have regional significance ex tending bey and civ it bo undaries, so consery ation org anizations or other levels of government may be soug ht to partner in their acquisition. In pa rticular, the city should work with the Wisconsin Department of N atural Resources i n the acq uisition of conservation prior ity lands that lie w ithin the Big M uskego Lak e W ildlife Area proj ect boundary. Land Dedications This Plan recommends the implementation of the Chapter 18 Land Division Ordinance that allows f or t he acq uisition of consery ation priorit y lands t hrough dedication . Upon development of properties that contai n prioritized lands, the city may req uire conservation land dedications of up to 9.7% of the total net area of a development. Conservation Developments This P Ian reco mmends tha t, i f no t acq uired, al I consery ation priority lands that lie within proposed residential developments be consider ed for preservation throug h conservation subdivision dev elopment. A conservation planned dev elopment (CPD ) z oning district designation al lows smal ler re sidential 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 homeow ners and presery ed t hrough deed restr ictions or a conservation easement as described in the section below. 49 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan This Plan further recommends the education of the public regarding the use of conservation subdivisions as a tool to more responsi bly preserve natural resource f eatures. In some previous subdivision proposals neighboring residents had voiced opposition to the smal Ier lot sizes of conservation subdivision developments. T here may be more support f or thi s 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 s hould still seek to have these areas preserved through preservation restrictions or conservation easements. Presery ation restrictions are recorded on the f inal plat while a conservation easement i s 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 cert ain uses. A consery ation easement g ives the easement holder the ability t o enf orce t he t erms of t he eas ement and t he r ight t o t ake corrective legal actions if terms are not followed. Purchase of Development Rights In some cases the ci ty may seek to acq uire 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 rig hts. T he land remains priv ately owned while the objective of conserving the land is achieved. Actual city ownership would remain a possibi Iity because with development ri ghts taken aw ay, the I and 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 util ized for farmland preservation. Planned development zoning should also be an av ailable option to preserve tracts of agricultural lands in the same w ay that thi s z oning is used to pr eserve environmentally significant lands. Codes and policies shoul d be modif ied to al low developers to dedi cate f armlands or pl ace de ed restr ictions or consery ation 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 g reatest 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 pl an recommends that ex isting city -ow ned conservation lands identif ied in Fig ure 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 f uture in w hich the conv ersion of an area of consery ation land (or park ) to another use could be for the greater public benef it. The City of M uskego 2020 Comprehensive Plan establishes a process to scrutiniz a any proposed selling/dedicating/granting of city open spaces or recreation lands to an alternative use. It 50 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan must be w ell documented that the publ is ne ed substantially ou tweighs the pu blic goo d afforded by such lands and that al ternatives sites are not f easible. It is f urther 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 manag ed in a manner to presery a and enhance their ecological quality. Invasive species control and establishment of native plant communities are requisite in the stew ardship of conservation lands. I t is recommended that the City of Muskego mai ntain a separate pl anning document Management of City of Muskego Conservation Lands in addi tion to thi s document to outline specif is management for the conservation lands that it owns. T his document shall incl ude a four year work plan with a prioritization and t imeline f or 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 trai Is. Educational c omponents 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 al ternative f unding sources should be explored so there is less dependence on city funds for such a facility. Funding for Conservation Lands The c urrent land fill ag reement bet ween t he Cit y of M uskego and Ve olia Env ironmental Services Em erald Par k Landf ill I ncorporated requires t hat 10% of t he city's annual direct payment is directed to a Land and Open Space Conservation Fund to purchase land and/or conservation eas ements t hat w ill pr ovide f or ope n s pace preservation. This Plan recommends the continued terms of this agreement with consideration of also utilizing some additional funds from the unal located portion of the annual direct payment to f urther 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 s ources bey and t he landf ill pay ment, d edication f unds, a nd g eneral f and should be activ ely pursued. Federal, state, and priv ate g rants shoul d al so be soug ht to financially assi st the acq uisition and manag ement of consery ation lands. It is further recommended that interested citizens are encouraged to form a non-profit "friends" group or develop a consery ation endow ment f and to g enerate donations to f inancially assi st 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 t hat t he cit y m aintain a specific budg et f or land manag ement 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 federal grants, and private sources. To f and special proj ects the city al so shoul d seek partnershi ps and f inancial assistance f rom priv ate consery ation org anizations, local I ake di stricts and associ ations, local service groups, and scouting groups in the area. 51 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan Public Participation and Volunteerism It is recommended that of forts be made to inv olve the community in conservation planning and implementation. A publ is hearing shall be held in the ratification of this plan to obtai n citizen endorsement of its dev elopment and impl ementation. From ti me to ti me, pu blic 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 communi ty. H owever f or 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. I nvolving 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 pl anting, seed col lection, 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: Inv asive species control, native landscaping, urban w ildlife management, er osion c ontrol, f ertilizer and pes ticide us age, r ecycling, and composting. Information and appropriate links to other responsible sources shoul d 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 consery ation rel ated issues. Outdoor ed ucation classes and special ev ents shoul d periodically be offered through the city's recreation programming. Tree Mitigation This PI an recommends the f ull enf orcement of the tree mitigation code. It is also recommended t hat mitigation be allowed offsite upon cit y-owned conservation lands or other conserved lands as recommended by the Consery ation Commission. It is f urther recommended that in lieu of planting trees, the dollar value of tree mitigation may be paid to a seg regated f and designated for consery ation restoration and manag ement projects. These projects should incl ude reforestation, prairie pl antings and maintenance, i nvasive species control, and w etland restorations. Code chang es 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 mi nimize the removal of trees and adeq uately protect the trees that are to remain. Building envelopes should be established and preservation restrictions placed upon the lands outside of the dev elopment area. Steps shoul d al so be tak en to al leviate any construction damage outside of the cleared area. Of ten the adverse effects of construction activities do not show for several years and are not attributed to the construction because trees slowly decline in heal th and di a several years I ater. It sho uld be required that home construction pl ans on w ooded lots be rev iewed by the City Forester in addition to the 52 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan Engineering Department. Fenci ng and sig nage 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 ad equately protect trees from construction activities. Stormwater Management Facilities In addition to the it flood control functions stormwater retention ponds serve to settle solids and assimilate nutrients f rom runoff water - delivering a cleaner outf low to natural surf ace waters. T hese human -made w aters bodi es provide an ex cellent opportunity to establish native vegetation and create wildlife habitat. Managing mowed turf around ponds should be discouraged, as thi s landscape tends to attract Canada Geese that graze upon the turf . Excessive numbers of geese can Ieav a nuisance amounts of defecation that can cause bacteria associated heal th concerns. T aller native vegetation discourages use by geese because they cannot remain as vigilant for potential predators. A di versity of native flora can enhance habitat for more desirable wildlife such as ducks, shorebirds, butterflies, frogs, and turt les w hile the interesting structures and col orful bl ossoms of nativ a pl ants can improve human aesthetics. Native plants require no f ertilization 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 pl ans the establishment of nativ e v egetation around the side slopes of storm water retention basins. In many cases the seedi ng of nati ve vegetation could al so incl ude areas of adjacent uplands that are w ithin a communally owned outlot — creating a larger naturalized area. It is further recommended that rain gardens are utilized as a storm water management tool. Rain g ardens al low g reater inf iltration and ev apo-transpiration of water - thus reduci ng 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 energ y consumption or ev en hary est energ y f or the pow er g rid. Green building practices reduce w ater consumption and util ize materials that are reusable or derived f rom renewable resources. Practi ces that reduce pol lution, reduce storm water 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 M uskego. The utilization of green technologies should be a consideration in the granting of "density bonuses" for conservation subdivision developments. Future city buildi ng proj ects shoul d striv e to employ g reen buildi ng technologies. Green technolog ies should be utilized over conventional building practices if they can be shown to recover the initial investment and have greater cost effectiveness over time. G reen-built m unicipal s tructures w ill als o pr omote a n aw areness of e fficient and environmentally responsible development to the community and help promote the concept. Specific Recommendations The precedi ng sections of thi s chapter di scuss g eneral consery ation recommendations . The Consery ation Commi ssion and city staff evaluated ex isting consery ation lands, 53 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan 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 w ith t he W isconsin DNR in ac quiring key parcels to protect the best remaining lands in the project area and create larger contiguous conservancy areas around Big Muskego Lake. 2. Badert scher Preserve/Ridges Conservation Site Master Plan A f ormal 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 interpretiv a center at Eng el Consery ation Ar ea A f acility shoul d 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 t rail should be established through this corridor to link two of the larg est conservation sites in the community. 5. Promote conservation sites Citizens should become aware of conservation sites in the cit y so t hat t hey can be v isited and appreciated. Modest signage should be placed at each of the smal Ier sites. The new Badert scher 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 w ith land management activities and dev elop a sense of stewardship for the site. 54 DRAFT - City of Muskego Parks and Conservation Plan Chapter 8 RECREATION TRAIL RECOMMENDATIONS Introduction Recreation trails described in this chapter are extensions of the transportation system of the city that are intended f or the use of non -motorized modes of travel. M ost recreation trai I facilities are located w ithin existing or pl anned rig hts-of-way while others traverse public land holdi ngs or are located w ithin land ea sements from private owners. T hese facilities should serve to link the City of Muskego together with a system of safe and functional off- street recreati on trai I connecti ons to accommoda to such activ ities as w alking, runni ng, biking, cross-country skiing, in -line skating, and hiking. Recommended Recreation Trail Additions Recreation trails are proposed to f ollow road ri ghts-of-way, utility corridors, and easements to facilitate travel within the city and al so connect to trails in adj oining communities as part of a reg ional trai I network. It is recommended that future subdi vision and other land developments construct proposed trail sections that are adjacent to or w ithin 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 trai I additions are presented bel ow and summarized in Figure 9. Locations of recommended trai Is are depi cted on M ap 11. T rail addi tions hav a been prioritized through the year 2021 and 5-year plans are presented to the Common Council for their approval and f unding through the capital budget process.
