Mr. William Casper, representing the First Wisconsin, appeared before
the committee to discuss the possible reallocation of 126 units pre-
viously approved for Freedom Square and later given to Wildflower Dev-
elopment. The committee noted that the Wildflower Development has been
held up pending resolution of a problem between the owners and the dev-
elopers. Mayor Gottfried indicated the attorney for the Schaefers has
advised him the matter should be resolved within a week. Ald. Ford
indicated that he personally did not feel obligated to give back the 126
units to Freedom Square. Mr. Casper was advised that in light of the
possible -resolution of -the-_problems.between the two par -ties involved it
was quite-possible=the Wildf-lower Development -was viabl-e and -therefore th
126 units-would=nbt-be available. -The committee noted, 'however;_that..any
attempt by=the:-developers--of-Wildfl-ower to -change -the previously approved
plans -would require a review of. -the -allocation by the Sewer -Committee.

15, 1977, the committee.advised him that it was -not possible togive
him any firm indication who would have priority -when sewers became -
available. Mayor Gottfried advised Mr. Casper that in the event a
change in the originally approved development was made such as that
which would=be_-needed under Section=8,-Financing; it •would require -a
public hearing.
Ms:-Irene-Masch; owner of -the -former Mahn property, -appeared -with Mr.
and Mrs. LaCoureera, regarding the possibility of purchasing addition-
al lands next to their home -in order that -they could build -a garage
without affecting the deferred sewer assessment previously granted
by the Council. Mayor Gottfried was directed to discuss the matter
with City -Attorney -Buckley and-further.to determine the cost of
assessment in the event the purchase was --possible.
Mr. Frank Narlock appeared--before-the committee -.to -discuss the
possibility of having the -balance of Lakeview Hills served by munic-
ipal sewers. He provided the--committee-with=a copy -of a previously
approved preliminary-plat--of-which a portion was approved by the -

that the status of the moratorium -would be reviewed-in.l.ate spring
and -suggested that he send -a letter to the committee indicating
his desire for municipal.sewers-in order that his request could be
considered at that time.
Mr. Don Miller appeared at the meeting to present a preliminary
sketch consisting of eleven lots which has been approved by the Plan
• Commission. He requested municipal sewer service to serve the dev-
elopment. Mr. Miller was also advised to direct a letter to the
committee requesting municipal -sewers in order that it too could be
considered when the moratorium is lifted.
Mr. Robert Stack, representing Mr. and Mrs. Paul, presented a sketch
for the proposed Sandy Knoll development which has been approved by
the Plan Commission. He requested sewer connections for 29 lots.
Mr. Stack and Mr. and sirs. Paul were advised of the status of the
moratorium. They were further advised that the capacity of the
northeast treatment plant was being re-evaluated to determine if and
when additional sewer connections can be made.
Mr. Raymond Musolf, Velva-Drive, appeared before the committee re-
garding a request by sewer contractor Debelak to install a manhold
on a sewer easement which he granted to the city. Building Inspector
Lee advised the committee that the contractor had requested permission
to install the manhold in order that they would not have to relay
an additional 100' of sewer pipe. The committee noted that the pro-
posed manhole was not part of the original construction plans and that
it would not be esthetically acceptable to Mr. Musolf Ald. Tomczyk
moved to deny the request. Seconded by Ald. Ford, motion carried.

Mr. Raymond Wallner, Agent for Clarence Froelich, appeared before the
committee to determine whether it would not be possible to get approval
for an 8 lot subdivision to connect into the municipal sewers. The
committee noted that the Plan Commission has indicated they would approve
a division of land if it were one of three alternatives prepared by
Planning Consultant Mangiamele. They further noted that the division,
as proposed, was large enough to accommodate four lots. Mr. Wallner
was advised to get the necessary approvals from the Plan Commission
and that if the commission approved anything over four lots the Plan
Commission and the Common Council would have to give approval for
connection into the sewer system.
Communication from Ruekert & Mielke regarding infiltration problem in
the Guernsey Meadows Subdivision was received and placed on file.
Mr. Mielke indicated that the excess infiltration might be due to
illegal sump pump connections.
A copy of a communication from Ruekert & Mielke to Debelak Brothers
regarding completion of the Bay Lawn Subdivision sewers was reviewed
and placed on file.
The committee discussed Mr. Art Bostater's request for additional sewer
laterals. The committee was in general agreement that because of the
many problems involved Mr. Bostater should withdraw his request. Mayor
Gottfried will advise Mr. Bostater of this suggestion of the committee.
