The Committee reviewed status of the following projects: Hillendale-North of Hwy. L Sewer & Water Project - Mayor De Angelis reported that he, Superintendent Loughney and Superintendent Kloskowski had met with a representative from Madison Underground, the bonding company, and the bonding company's attorney to solve road conditions. Valley/Lions/Pioneer Water Project - Restoration has started. Southeast Sewer - Approval has been received from MMSD and the DNR and the City Engineers have started design. The Committee reviewed results of surveys received from affected property owners in the Boxhorn/Ryan/Groveway areas as to the need for sewer service. Surveys were mailed to 104 properties and returns were as follows: 42 "Yes" and 24 "No". The Committee reviewed correspondence received from Waukesha County Department of Health, dated May 19, 1993, which included a list of the information found in their files for properties on Boxhorn Drive and Groveway Lane. The soils in this area are classified as having severe and very severe limitations for the use of a soil absorption system. Private sewage systems installed in this type of soil require more frequent pumping and water conservation to maintain the system, however, satisfactory long-term service cannot be expected. Ald. Schneider moved to recommend approval of the design and installation of the second lift station and collector sewers for the Boxhorn/Ryan/Groveway area and to recommend approval of the a Preliminary Resolution Declaring Intent to Exercise Special Assessment Police Powers Under §66.60, Wisconsin Statutes, as to Sanitary Sewer Assessment Area for Boxhorn/Groveway/Ryan Sewer Project. Seconded by Ald. Woodard, motion carried. The Committee reviewed correspondence from Zimmerman Engineering Corporation, dated May 12, 1993, which addressed the City's request to locate the proposed flow restrictor facilities on the force main, downstream of the McShane Lift Station, with Representative Scott Anderson. MMSD has agreed with the request. Ald. Sanders moved to authorize the Mayor to sign the correspondence indicating that the City concurs with Public Utilities Committee - Page 2 May 20, 1993 6 • the concept of installing flow restrictor facilities on the force main downstream of the McShane Sewage Pump Station. Seconded by Ald. Schneider, motion carried. The Committee reviewed correspondence from MMSD regarding connection to floor drains in garages which states that garage floor drains cannot be connected to the sanitary sewer. MMSD also states that the City's Municipal Code should have a section which prohibits this. Ald. Schneider moved to direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance incorporating MMSD Rules and Regulations which prohibits anyone from running a drain from a garage to a sanitary sewer in an area where a separate system of sewers is required or is in use, catch basins, foundation drains, downspout drains, floor drains receiving unpolluted water, or any other fixtures or appurtenances which do not carry or convey sanitary sewage shall not be connected, directly or indirectly, to District sewers, including intercepting sewers or branches thereof.

Miles, MSI General Corporation appeared before the Committee to request sewer and water service for two possible locations for the Muskego/Norway School District. Ald.

Seconded by Ald. Sanders, motion carried. The District has also requested permission to install a septic system for a possible District Office at the Mill Valley Site since the nearest sewer connection is 1300 feet away. Ald. Sanders moved to deny request and direct that the site be connected to sewers. Seconded by Ald. Schneider, motion carried. The Committee reviewed request for determination of REC charge for the following: Overlook Bay Club House The Committee determined that a charge of two (2) RECs will be given to start pending actual usage history received from meter.

The Committee requests that the Sewer Utility Clerk provide the Committee with a list of other existing club houses for their review at the June meeting. The Committee reviewed the proposed amendments to the Sewer Assessment Policy. Seegar Swanson recommended that when controlled access status ends, the assessment will be paid at the rate of the original project's assessment, plus accrued interest at the rate in the Final Resolution of the original project. This would be uniform for both the Sewer Assessment Public Utilities Committee - Page 3 May 20, 1993 Policy and the Water Assessment Policy. The Committee will further review at the June meeting. Stan Potrykus appeared before the Committee to discuss sewer connections to three lots on Mystic Drive and Woods Road for Ludwig/Strampe. Ald. Sanders moved to allow lots 1 and 3 to connect to existing manholes; one on Woods Road and one on Mystic Drive, and lot 2 to be connected to an existing riser in the main. Seconded by Ald. Schneider, motion carried. The Committee determined that there would be no assessment for Parcel 2 as it received an assessment as part of the Woods Road/Mystic to Durham Sewer Project; there would be no assessment for Parcel 1 as any sewer main installed on Woods Road, west of Mystic Drive, will be put in by the developer; there will be a theoretical assessment for Parcel 3 for the 120 ft. of frontage at the last project rate of $43.16; with the understanding that if the landowner extends a sewer main south on Mystic Drive, within the next five (5) years, the City would reimburse the front foot assessment.
