PWM19760526• PUBLIC WELFARE COMMITTEE - CITY OF MUSKEGO MINUTES OF MEETING HELD MAY 26, 1976 The meeting was called to order by Chairman Colburn at 7:00 P.M. Also present were Committee members Pienkos and Constantineau, Ald. Ford, Mayor Gottfried, Zoning Officer Lee and Park and Recreation Director Steven Pischke. Several residents of the Rambo Subdivision met with the committee to discuss problems relating to the street extension of Pleasant View Drive from Lake Drive to the lake. Ald. Colburn reviewed the problems of vehicles parked on the street, use of the area as a boat launch and explained the relationship of Mr. Larsen's driveway to the street extension. Mr. Pischke, Park and Recreation Director, indicated that at the present time the Park and Recreation Department had no plans for use of the area. He did indicate, however, that the Public Works Department is using it for an unloading facility for the weed harvester. Mayor Gottfried pointed out that since it is a public street extension any major plans to use it for park purposes, etc. by the Park and Recreation Department would require abandoning the street extension which could also then create additional problems as to ownership, etc. Considerable discussion took place centering • mainly on the need for "No Parking" signs and where they should be placed. Chairman Colburn indicated that the committee would probably recommend creation of "No Parking" zones in the area to the Rules, Laws & Ordinance Committee. Discussion was also held regarding the need for "No Parking" signs along Pleasant View Drive and Lake Drive in the vicinity of the Pleasant View Dr. extension. Ald. Colburn suggested that the city create the "No Parking" zones from Lake Drive to the lake and then monitor the situation to determine whether or not excessive parking takes place on Pleasant View Drive and Lake Drive in the vicinity of the access. The committee also questioned whether or not citizens of the area could put in their piers and use it for docking their boats. The committee pointed out that since the area is a public street it could not be permitted and that, in fact, since it is a public street it would be available for use by everyone. The Welfare Committee agreed to evaluate the need for boat launching facilities in the area. A great deal of discussion with the residents took place on the subject of boat launching sites in the city. A resident questioned whether or not the city would object if the citizens in the area maintained the site. It was agreed that the city would be grateful • for the help, however, it was pointed out that the road extension would remain public. Ald. Colburn moved to recommend to the Rules, Laws & Ordinance Committee that "No Parking" zones be established in the Pleasant View street extension from Lake Drive to the lake on both sides of the street. Seconded by Ald. Pienkos, motion carried. Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Hansen, owners of the Hillside Tavern located at W125 59706 N. Cape Rd., and Mr. Robert J. Palokonis, 5102 W19570 Kelsey Dr., owner of the former Meads Tavern, appeared at the meeting regarding a directive from the Waukesha County Health Department that they have holding tanks installed. They were advised by the committee of the requirement that a $1,000.00 cash bond be posted with the city and that the city in no way will be liable for the maintenance of the holding tank. Ald. Constantineau moved to recommend to the Common Council Public Welfare Committee May 26, 1976 - P. 2 that permission be granted to Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Hansen and Mr. Robert Palokonis to install holding tanks on their property as • required by the Waukesha County Health Department. Mr. Don Otter, representing Waste Management of Wisconsin, appeared before the committee and presented a proposed hydrogeotechnical plan which will be used in the future development of the landfill site. Mr. Otter presented the committee with a plan called "elimination of outwash areas". The committee discussed with Mr. Otter the status of the landfill, their plans for the future and the present contract between the city, Carl Wauer and Waste Management. Mr. Otter invited all aldermen to tour the sanitary landfill site and urged the alder- men to call him concerning any problems or questions they might have. His phone number is 251-1030.
