The Committee reviewed the proposed Highway 24 Sewer Project. The City Engineer is preparing plans for submittal and the Engineer's responsibility of preparing data for the agreement with Waste Management is being supplied to the City Attorney for drafting. A meeting to negotiate the easement by Chairman Sanders, Mayor Salentine and the property owner, Mr. Harold DeBack, has been held and the terms upon which the City Attorney will draft an agreement have been agreed upon. When the terms were reviewed by the City Engineer, it was recommended that a value for the non -assessable easement be applied toward the • interest escalation for the assessment. Mr. DeBack indicated that this is not acceptable because it would establish a time limitation upon non -escalation of the assessment. The Committee will research the David Ludwig deferred assessment on Kurtze Lane and contact Mr. DeBack. The Committee also determined that gravel backfill should be added to the agreement and that construction be done in winter months. The Committee reviewed correspondence from Mr. Kostello on delinquent sewer usage bill for property located at W172 S7369 Lake Drive. The Committee agreed that the bill is uncollectable due to error in closing statement. Mr. Bill Yach, a representative of Waste Management, appeared before the Committee to request that leachate from the Franklin Landfill and the Muskego Landfill be discharged at the College Court collection point. Approximately 5 to 6 loads per day from Franklin Landfill and approximately 10 loads per month from the Muskego Landfill. Ald. Sanders moved to allow the request for a trial period and directed the City Attorney to draw up an agreement with Waste Management which allows them to discharge, but if a problem results, the agreement could be terminated. Seconded by Ald. Hilt, motion carried. There has been no further communications on the sewer request for the Dale Dawson property. Odor emission complaint from Northeast Lift station was deferred until Ald. Repischak can be present. Public Utilities Committee - Page 2 August 11, 1988 Mrs. Dona Gnas appeared before the Committee to object to three outhouses on Denoon Road. Mr. Walter Chrisman representing the 40 owners of the outhouses stated that one of the outhouses has been removed because the resident is connected to sewer, the second outhouse will be removed shortly because sewer is being installed and the third outhouse serves a cottage with no inside facilities. The Committee discussed enclosing open wet well at the Northeast Lift Station. Ald. Hilt moved to direct City Engineers to design a cover and filter system to eliminate odors and to give estimated cost to construct such a system. Seconded by Ald. Sanders, motion carried. Mayor Salentine informed the Committee that approval for connection to sewers from MMSD was received for Brittany Estates Addn. #1. Mr. Stan Potrykus and Greg Boehm appeared before the Committee to discuss sewer plans for Meadow Green West Subdivision. Ald. Hilt moved to approve forty-four lot connections. Seconded by Ald. Sanders, motion carried. Mr. Stan Potrykus also appeared before the Committee to request sewer connections for two additional lots on the Vesbach property • on Lannon Drive & Woods Road. The Committee suggested that the potential property owners contact Mrs. Dorothy Vesbach to suggest her participation in construction costs for a deeper sewer main which would service her entire property. If accomplished, the Committee was receptive to their installing sewer laterals at no cost to the City. Mayor Salentine reported on the sewer extension to Highway "00" and Highway "45". The request for the determination at this time is in conjunction with the Feasibility Plan which must be designed to serve the Muskego Lakes sewer service area. The lift station and oversizing would have to be designed simultaneously with the present sewer service area. A meeting instigated by SEWRPC had the landfill operators, affected communities, DNR and MMSD in attendance and indicated SEWRPC's desire to have the landfills provided with sewer service for the conveyance of leachate. The City of Franklin indicated that there was sewer service available to serve Waste Management's Franklin site. Both DNR & SEWRPC indicated that they would be receptive to amending the sewer service area without a reduction in our present area because of funds and leachate conveyance. After considerable discussion with the impacted property owners, Ald. Sanders moved to amend the sewer service area to include the Highway 45 corridor. Seconded by Ald. Hilt, motion carried. • Restoration on Water Projects was discussed. Re -seeding has started on Highway 24. Scott has removed dead shrubbery from the Parkland Mall area and Sentry.
