2020 MMSD Facility Plan Boundaries
Sean McMullen, Director of Engineering/Building Inspection and Scott Kloskowski, Utility
Supervisor, presented the 2020 MMSD Facility Plan Boundaries. MMSD (Milwaukee
Metropolitan Sewerage District) has notified the City that they are in the process of planning
their 2020 plan for capacity flows facilities. They need to know from the City where we think we
will be in 2020. We take information that we have in-house, from SEWPRC and a number of
other sources that are growth related to determine how much we want to expand our
boundaries by the year 2020. Mr. Sean McMullen presented the existing and expanding
sanitary sewer service maps for the City of Muskego. Mr. McMullen stated that we must take an
aggressive approach for sewer capacity. There are seven separate sewershed areas. The
MU2003 area will be expanded to encompass the existing and any additional or future landfill
areas. One concern of the MU2002 area is to insure that maximum density that is allowable by
our existing sewer service plan will have capacity. Another area of discussion was the MU2004
area. Commissioner Hulbert felt that this area should be preserved with the rural integrity of the
area. Mr. Scott Kloskowski stated that we don’t have the capacity in our infrastructure to
service this area and we may not by the year 2020. Mr. Kloskowski said that our concern now
is to get as much capacity as possible from MMSD for the future growth of the City. Mayor
Slocomb stated that this is an information presentation and all input will be given to Common
Council for their consideration.

CONSENT BUSINESS
RESOLUTION #P.C. 090-2004 - Approval of an annual review for Schaefer Snowplowing
and Grading LLC located at W195 S9775 Racine Avenue (Tax Key No. 2274.998). This

NEW BUSINESS FOR CONSIDERATION
RESOLUTION #P.C. 088-2004 - Approval of a Conceptual Rezoning for the Roush property
located in the NE ¼ of Section 34 (Tax Key No. 2293.996.001). This resolution was read by
title only. Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to approve. Commissioner Schaumberg
seconded. Petitioner proposing conceptual approval for a rezoning of property located on the
corner of Highway 36 and Loomis Drive from A, Agricultural to B-4, Highway Business. This
request is consistent with the 2010 Comprehensive Plan. Petitioner informed staff that he has
a buyer for the parcel to construct a single family residence. However, due to the adopted
Comprehensive Plan and surrounding commercial properties, petitioner would like direction
from the Plan Commission if commercial uses would be acceptable for this property. Due to
consistency with Comprehensive Plan and the parcel’s proximity to S.T.H. 36, it was the
consensus of the Commission that the rezoning would be looked upon favorably. Petitioner will
bring forward a formal development plan upon final rezoning approval. Upon a roll call vote,
Resolution #P.C. 088-2004 was Adopted unanimously.
RESOLUTION #P.C. 089-2004 – Approval of an amended Building Site and Operation Plan
for Callen Construction located in the NE ¼ of Section 1 (Tax Key No. 2161.994 / S63 W13131
Janesville Road). This resolution was read by title only. Alderman Buckmaster made a motion
to approve. Commissioner Hulbert seconded. Petitioner proposing to expand existing business
and add an additional showroom and office. The Building Site and Operation Plan shows a
total of 22 parking stalls. The stalls in the front of the building will be for customers. The stalls
in the rear of the building will be for employees. The employee stalls are smaller than standard
and staff agrees that this is acceptable. A photometric plan needs to be submitted and
approved prior to issuance of building permits. The City Forester has reviewed the landscaping
plan and has suggested a few technical corrections. Materials for the new structure consist of
cultured fieldstone, green dimensional shingles, vinyl siding and pine trim boards. The building
will be tan and white with the red exterior being removed. Although the proposal does not meet
the 50% masonry requirement, it matches the materials used in the existing structure and will
enhance the neighborhood. The accessory structure will be located behind the main building
and will match the materials on the main building. There is enough room for two way access
throughout the property. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 089-2004 was Adopted
unanimously.

RESOLUTION #P.C. 091–2004 – Recommendation to Common Council to approve the
Sixteenth Amended Water Capacity Assessment District located in Sections 20 and 21 for
Towne Realty / Woodland Creek Estates and surroundings. This resolution was read by title
only. Commissioner Michalski made a motion to approve. Commissioner Schaumberg
seconded. Wisconsin Statue requires Plan Commission to make recommendations to the
Common Council prior to expanding service boundary of any public utility. Towne Realty
proposes to provide municipal water service to the Woodland Creek Estates Subdivision
properties. Residents along Racine Avenue that would be interested in hooking up would not
have to pay for installation of main water pipe. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 091-
2004 was Adopted unanimously.
RESOLUTION #P.C. 093-2004 – Approval of a Conceptual Preliminary Plat for a property
located in the SE ¼ of Section 4 (Tax Key No. 2173.991 / Martin Drive). This resolution was
read by title only. Commissioner Michalski made a motion to approve. Commissioner
Schaumberg seconded. Petitioner proposing to develop 24 single family lots and 2 outlots on
property located on the south side of Martin Drive, south of Park Arthur. The proposal
appears to be consistent with the RS-2 zoning district however, would require an OPD zoning
designation and a 2010 plan amendment as petitioner is proposing to decrease the lot sizes.
Staff recommends that access from Pearl Drive be removed. Both Pearl Drive and Earl Drive
were never meant to be access points. The extension from Rossmar Drive was intended for
future access. However, there is a 33 foot wide strip of privately owned land that may prevent
access from Rossmar. Petitioner will need to redesign the plat with access off of Martin Drive.
The Park and Conservation Boards will determine the need of trails and acquisition of outlots at
Preliminary Plat time. Petitioner will be required to have tree line determined and wetland
delineation completed. Mr. Glen Miller addressed the Commission stating that the development
is closer to 18 acres not 15. Mr. Miller also requested that this item be deferred to allow him the
opportunity to redesign the proposal as he was unsuccessful in obtaining access from
Rossmar. After brief discussion, it was determined that Mr. Miller will resubmit two conceptual
designs for the next Plan Commission meeting. One design with current zoning and one
design with the OPD zoning. Alderman Buckmaster made a motion to Defer. Commissioner
Hulbert seconded. Upon a voice vote, Resolution #P.C. 093-2004 was Deferred
unanimously.
