• The meeting was called to order at 7:05 P.M. by Chairman H.
Sanders. Also present were Committee Members Simmons and D.
Sanders, Ald. Hilt, Mayor Salentine, Superintendent Kloskowski
and those per the attached list.
Mayor Salentine updated the Committee on the status of FLOW and
reported that the peak flow issue has not been resolved but the
District and FLOW representatives are currently meeting to
resolve the concern.
The Committee reviewed the status of the Hwy. L sewer project.
Scott Kloskowski reported that the main line has been installed
and laterals are currently being installed. The engineer is
anticipating a June 1st completion date. The Committee reviewed
correspondence from City Engineer Ken Ward, dated April 17, 1990,
in regard to extending the sewers 800 ft. west to accommodate
connection to the Stage Coach tavern. Engineer Ward stated that
this extension can be accomplished by a change order. Ald. H.
Sanders moved to approve the change order. Seconded by Ald. D.
Sanders, motion carried.
The Committee discussed the Woods Road South Water/Sewer Project
with affected property owners in attendance. Ald. D. Sanders
moved to direct the City Engineers to prepare the plans and
• specifications and bid out the water and sewer projects. The
sewer project will be to serve all properties that can be
serviced by gravity and the water project to coincide. Seconded
by Ald. Simmons, motion carried.
Mrs. Just, W194 56945 Hillendale Drive, appeared before the
Committee to request three laterals to her property to service
her home and two additional lots as part of the
Hillendale/Lembezeder/Wentland sewer project. Mayor Salentine
advised the Committee that a letter had also been sent to Mr. &
Mrs. Roger Johnston, W194 S7031 Hillendale, requesting that they
contact the City to advise if they wish laterals or a main
extension stub to their property. To date they have not
responded. It was noted that the property owners at W194 56968
(old Wentland farmhouse) will also need to be contacted to
question future plans for land divisions to assist in determining
required laterals and location.
The City Engineers are in the process of preparing the plans and
specficiation for bid for the Hillendale/Lembezeder/Tans sewer
project.
Mr. Mutza, W206 S7844 Pasadena Drive appeared to discuss his
assessment on Hillendale Drive which is part of the
Hillendale/North of Hwy. L proposed sewer project.

The Committee discussed the extension of the Hwy. L sewer project
to Crowbar Road with petitioners. Mrs. Knutowski stated that
with the Hwy. L,extension, she will sign a statement that she is
receptive to not being granted a deferment on 300 ft. of business
frontage for a proposed restaurant on her property. The
remainder of the property is zoned A (Agriculture) and the
minimum zoning size for a lot is 300 ft. The Committee felt that
it is unrealistic to charge that large an assessment (300 ft.)
for this property and determined that the land with the existing
home will be assessed for 120 ft., which is the minimum required
zoning for RS-1. Mrs. Knutowski requested that the portion of
her property, which will not be benefited because of its severe
topography, be determined as non -assessable. The Committee was
agreeable with the stipulation that the remainder of the property
will be a deferred assessment. Ald. H. Sanders moved to direct
the City Engineers to prepare the plans and specficiations and
bid the project. Seconded by Ald. D. Sanders, motion carried.
Mr. Craig Lawdanski appeared before the Committee and requested
using the alternate method of providing sewer service for four
(4) properties on the Certified Survey Map. Ald. H. Sanders
moved to grant four (4) connections and the property owner will
install the main; thus eliminating the need for a theoretical
assessment. Seconded by Ald. D. Sanders, motion carried.
The Committee reviewed the Sewer Assessment Policy and discussed
a minimum zoning frontage for lots which were served by an
existing septic system where the land division was made under
40 non-sewered zoning. The Committee will continue to review the
policy.
The Committee reviewed letter from Waukesha County Department of
Health dated April 11, 1990, which indicated the control which
the Health Department has when septic systems are in need of
repair.
The Kristin Down representative provided the City Clerk with
easements signed by the property owners but failed to secure
lending institutions and, in one case, the correct easement
width. The agreement was satisfactory and a homeowner's vote
could be secured expediently, pending City Attorney review. The
Committee acknowledged the effort to meet the time frame
estabished for WCA being waived and requested that the Mayor, in
consultation with the City Attorney, review the material.
The Committee reviewed the results of the Lake/Park/Richards
Drive survey which indicated that 17 were in favor, 20 opposed
and 1 neutral. The property owners affected by the looping of
Richards Drive were one -hundred percent opposed and questioned
the necessity of the loop. The Committee agreed to not provide
service to those properties that were assessed because of the
loop. Mr. David Nelson, Tax Key 2193.128, expressed concern
about a corner lot calculation for his assessment, because the
frontage on one street will never have water installed as it only
46 extends past his lot to the lake. The Committee acknowledged
that Mr. Nelson's property, and four similar properties, should
be recalculated for frontage abutting the improvement only.

. assessments:
Tax Key 2193.092

$469.19
Ald. H. Sanders moved to recommend to the Common Council to award
the bid to Underground Pipe Line. Seconded by Ald. D. Sanders,
motion carried. The City Engineer is requested to secure an
extension of time from the contractor because the required
easement has not been secured and Attorney Molter is instructed
to proceed with securing an appraisal in the event that
condemnation is necessary.
The City Engineers are proceeding with the field work to prepare
necessary plans and specifications for the Racine Avenue/Gemini
• North Water Project.
Mr. William Carity, representing Terra Development, appeared
before the Committee to request 200 multiple connections, sewer
service for a commercial property, and 165 residential
connections for sewers and requested water service for the
development known as Lake Forest (formerly Cambridge Meadows).
The Committee was aware that a booster pump and amendment to the
WCA District will be required. Ald. H. Sanders moved to allow
required connections and to direct the City Engineer to provide
sizing and cost information on a booster pump. Seconded by Ald.
Simmons, motion carried. Mr. Ken Purdy, W208 S8543 Hillendale,
requested sewer service to Valley View Heights Subdivision which
would require an extension of the main in the area which is
intended to be Phase #2 of the Terra Development. The result of
Mr. Purdy's poll is that 26 lots are in favor or sewers and that
water was acceptable to most of the property owners.
The item for WCA rate adjustment for John Ingersoll was removed
from the agenda.
The Utility Superintendent's report was reviewed and placed on
file.
The meeting adjourned at 11:00 P.M.
