itor the back up problems during heavy rainfall could be investigated
Mr. Robert Stack appeared to request sewer hookup for a proposed
29 lot subdivision known as Sandy Knoll to be developed by John
and Margaret Paul. It was explained to Mr. and Mrs. Paul that
since the Plan Commission has already approved the concept as
presented by Mr Stack approval of their request for sewer
connections will depend upon the status of the present moratorium
previous adopted by the Common Council. It was further explained
to them that an intensive infiltration study is being made and
that the results of that study will be reviewed over the next
few months.
Mr. Scott Fisher, representing the 24 Outdoor Theater, appeared
• at the meeting to advise that he had checked into all alternatives
other than connecting into the Muskego Sewer System. He advised
the 24.Outdoor Theater is zoned Heavy Industrial, therefore,
holding tanks cannot be used. However, holding tanks would solve
the problem if New Berlin were to reconsider its regulations
regarding holding tanks.
The committee acknowledged receipt of a communication from Attorney
Richard N. Hunter representing Walter and Dorothy Vesbach requesting,
to be advised when the sewer moratorium might be lifted.
