MINUTES OF MEETING HELD APRIL 18, 1991
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 P.M. by Co -Chairman Hilt
and Co -Chairman Simmons. Also present were Mayor Salentine,
Utility Superintendent Kloskowski and those per the attached list.
The Committee reviewed the status of the Woods Road -South,
Hillendale-North of L and Hillendale/Wentland/Tans sewer
projects. The Committee reviewed a letter from Mary Thomas of the
Hillendale/Wentland/Tans Sewer project indicating she felt there
was an error in the footage for her assessment. The Committee
requests the Director of Planning & Development to review the
footage and to submit the correct footage to the Committee for
their May 16th meeting.
The Committee continued to review the new sewer and water
assessment policy.
Mr. Chester Spitzner appeared before the Committee to request
pro -ration of deferred assessment for his property on Woods Road
which is part of the Woods Road -South sewer and water project.
. The Committee determined that when more than 50% of the assessable
frontage is sold, the entire assessment will be due. When there
is a land division of less than 50%, only the frontage of the
affected land division will be due,
The Committee reviewed Amendment to Subdivider's Agreement for the
West Lake Development along with a Letter of Credit in the amount
of $10,000 as a guarantee that the sewer line improvement between
the prior existing manhole in the intersection of Fairfield and
Courtland and Manhole No. 1 of this development which is 68 feet
more or less west of said prior existing manhole is installed and
operating correctly in the opinion of the City of Muskego
engineers. If at any time within five (5) years from the date of
this Agreement the City Engineers determine that said sewer line
is not installed or operating correctly, the City may draw upon
this Letter of Credit to correct the same. Ald. Hilt moved to
recomend approval of agreement. Seconded by Ald. Simmons, motion
carried.
The Committee discussed request for sewer extension on Kelly Drive
with Ald. Taube and affected property owners. Jeff Wuerl
indicated that two properties are in need of sewer service. The
sewer service can best be accomplished by connection to Lions Park
Drive which would require the participation of the land owned by
the Kelly family. It was noted that three property owners on
Kelly Drive would be receptive to water and the water extension
would coincide with the sewer project. Ald. Taube will contact
the owners of the Kelly property.

Mr. Carl Gratzek requested that the Pufall property owners
participate jointly in a water and road extension to connect Lions
Park Drive to Kelly Drive. It would be advantageous to
incorporate the Kelly Drive road extension and the Gratzek request
for Lions Park Drive as a joint venture. Ald. Taube will meet
with the property owners to try to coordinate the two projects.
The Committee reviewed expenditure of funds for prorata share of
Town of Norway's addition to Treatment Plant. Ald. Hilt moved to
recommend approval of payment subject to Mayor Salentine and

a new procedure which will give citation authority to the Utility
Superintendent.

project. It was noted that Attorney Molter is presently reviewing

notification from the Muskego-Norway School District as to
whether or not they wish to proceed with the project.
