PUBLIC SEWER COMMITTEE - CITY OF MUSKEGO
MINUTES OF MEETING HELD JANUARY 29, 1979
• The meeting was called to order by Chairman Dumke at 7:30 P.M.
Also present were Committee Member Tomczyk, Mayor Gottfried and
Mr. John Mielke.
Mr. Joseph M. Nettesheim and Mr. Bennett Nettesheim appeared to
determine whether or not their property would be served with
sanitary sewer through The Meadows development. Mayor Gottfried
indicated that it was his opinion that Mr. Potrykus had planned
to provide an 8" sewer along the back lot lines, which would
serve all the properties facing Kelsey Drive on the south side.
Mayor Gottfried will contact Mr. Potrykus regarding the matter.
Mr. David Cunningham appeared before the committee regarding the
need for sewers in order that he could construct a single family
home on 10 acres of property owned by Milbrew, Inc. located on
the northwest corner of Racine Avenue and Highway 24 Mr. Cunningham
was advised that prior to the issuance of a permit, the deferred
assessment on the property would become due and payable. Mr.
Cunningham indicated he understood this requirement indicating
that his company owned half of the frontage along Racine Avenue and
Mr. Schaeffer owned approximately the other half. Mayor Gottfried
was directed to contact Mr. Buckley regarding the matter and
advise Mr Cunningham of his findings.
A request for the release of $69,942.64 to Super Excavators, Inc.
• for work done in the Denoon area was discussed. Building Inspec-
tor Lee advised the committee that Super Excavators had some
restoration that still was not complete. Mr. Mielke indicated
that the waiver of lien for the lift station had not been filed.
Following discussion, Ald. Tomczyk moved to approve the release
of $50,000 of the requested $69,942.64 subject to approval from
John Mielke. Seconded by Ald. Dumke. Motion carried.
A request for release of $61,814.90 to Rock Contractors for work
on Lake Denoon prompted a motion by Ald Dumke for release of the
$61,814.90 Seconded by Ald. Tomczyk. Motion carried.
Receipt of a sewer inspection report from Treatment Plant Operator
James Kibbe was acknowledged.
The committee reviewed once again the communication from the
sewer utility clerk regarding the failure to collect sewer usage
charges for a duplex located on Hillside Drive. Following dis-
cussion, Ald. Dumke moved to charge Mr. Olson, W192 S7202 Hillside
Drive, 50% of the unpaid charges from 12-1-73 to 12-1-78.
Seconded by Ald. Tomczyk Motion carried.
Mayor Gottfried advised the committee that at the time the
assessment for sewers in the Denoon area was established, it was
agreed that in addition to the lineal foot assessment there would
• be a $200.00 sewer hook-up charge for those people living within
the Denoon sewer utility who had paid per lineal foot assessment.
He indicated that action by the Common Council regarding this
matter is necessary. Ald. Dumke moved to recommend to the Common
Council that a $200,00 connection fee be charged to those people
living within the Denoon sewer district who were charged a lineal
foot assessment. Seconded by Ald Tomczyk. Motion carried.
Mr. John Mielke presented the committee with a rough draft showing
what the new boundaries of the Denoon sewer utility district would
be if approved by the Town of Norway Sewer Commission and the
Common Council. He compared the proposed boundaries with the old
boundaries, indicating that the district would be somewhat smaller
and based on the proposed rezoning the ultimate density would be
less than originally planned. The committee noted that SEWRPC
had shown the density in the Denoon area at 8 persons per acre,
whereas the recently approved preliminary plat of The Meadows
indicates an estimated 6 persons per acre, and a concept for the
DeBack and Bostater properties indicates 4.9 persons per acre.

Mr. John Mielke also discussed with the committee the new effluent
standards recently established by the DNR for the northwest and
northeast sewer treatment. He indicated that the northwest
standards were 5-5-1 and the chain 15-20-1. He emphasized that
it was imperative that the City Attorney begins negotiating an
agreement with DNR in order that court appearances could be set
sometime in March.

Mr James Kibbe, Treatment Plant Operator, discussed with the
committee the need for more effective alarm systems and suggested
that the utility purchase four new Butler National Corporation
ADAS II automatic dialers Mr. Mielke advised the committee that
if an order to purchase could be sent in immediately they would
cost $775.00 as compared to almost $1,300.00 after February 1st.
Ald. Dumke moved to authorize the purchase of the requested equip-
ment. Seconded by Ald. Tomczyk Motion carried.
The committee again discussed the final plat of Lake Brittany
Estates Addn. No. 1 and whether or not the plat should be denied
because of the possibility of a major interceptor which would be
constructed through the subdivision It was noted by the committee
that to deny the final plat would probably require the City to
immediately purchase the land needed if and when the interceptor
is constructed. It was the decision of the committee to not
object to the plat on the basis that if and when the interceptor
is constructed it could be moved north in order to miss the plat
There being no further business, Ald. Dumke moved to adjourn.
Seconded by Ald. Tomczyk. Motion carried. The meeting adjourned
at 9:05 P.M.
