• meeting was called to orde-•- by Chairman Dumke at 7:35 P.M. Also
present were committee members t;onstanLine au and Colburn. Also presenE
were Mayor Gottfried, Aldermen Wallner and Pi_enkos.
The committee acknowledged receipt of a letter dated January 3, 1977,
from Raymond A. Wallner reque-ting that sewers be made available for the
development of 100 acres of the former Loomis Farm. The request indicated
that approximately 200 residential units would be constructed and that
the development would conform to the present zoning and the city's Sub-
division Control Ordinance.
The committee reviewed with Mayor Gottfried and the other aldermen
present the status of sewers now being constructed as well as those
being contemplated in. the future as follows:
Lake Denoon Project - The city is experiencing some problems with the
execution of needed easements. It was determined that less than 50%
have been signed. It was the committee's decision to hold a public
Sewer Committee meeting for the express purpose of inviting those people
who have not signed the sewer easement in an effort to resolve whatever
problems they might have. The Town of Norway has begun construction of
the sewers which will be used by the Denoon area and which could be ready
• for use sometime in mid 1978.
Bass Bay Project - City Attorney Buckley has been negotiating with Mrs.
Kurtze for lands needed for both Kurtze Lane and sewers in an effort to
arrive at an equitable solution. It is anticipated that the sewer and
road project would be constructed simultaneously. The city's consulting
engineers are having considerable problems with land descriptions and the
layout of the needed sewer route. The committee once again indicated
its support for the project with the hope that construction could begin
sometime in 1978.
Freedom Acres - Bay Lawn - Construction is progressing fairly well with
both contractors anticipating completion within the time allotted. No
major problems have been reported to the committee. The committee reviewed
the proposed change in the location of the sewer traversing through the
Ceille property which would connect Freedom Acres with the city's treatment
system. The committee agreed that because of the problems with the
beltline corridor the request by Mrs. Ceille to change the location of
the sewer was reasonable. They also felt that the city should acl:cmpt to
be reimbursed by Mrs. Ceille for the $1450.00 additional cost.
American College - Mayor Gottfried reviewed the status of the sewers
. presently being held for the American College. He indicated that they
have been reminded that the use is restricted for American College students
only and that construction of the classrooms must be started so that they
can be built simultaneously with the dormitories. The representatives of
the American College have assured the city that they understand the
limitations and that they have received financing based on those limit-
ations. On this premise they have been permitted to continue with their
building project.

.The reports from the treatment plant operators were reviewed and placed
on file.
The city acknowledged receipt of correspondence from Mr. Rene Masch and
Mr.. Julius Wietzer indicating their wishes regarding extension of sewers
on McShane Drive to serve their properties. Mr. Masch indicated that
they did want to be a part of the sewer district only if vacant land
owned by them is included. Mr. Wietzer indicated that he did not want
to be part of the sewer district. It was the decision of the Committee
not to recommend to the Common Council extension of sgw"ers on McShane
Drive to serve these residences.
Correspondence was received from the Metropolitan Sewage Commission
indicating that the commission had adopted a resolution establishing a
rate of $44.00 per hr. plus a fixed charge of $61.00 for asbilts to those
communities within the Metropolitan Sewage District who are engaged in
performing its own inspections. The letter also indicated approval of
a rate of $26.00 per hr. effective January 1, 1977, for inspection
service to the municipalities within the sewage district. Mayor Gottfried
indicated that the city's asbilts are drawn by onr consulting engineers
at a considerable savings to the Utility and that the city does .its own
inspection. He indicated that the only time we get involved with the
Metropolitan Sewage District was when final approval of the sewers arc
required which will then involve the $26.00 per hr. fee. He indir-itec'.
that those fees are then charged back to the developer.
