PUBLIC SEWER COMMITTEE - CITY OF MUSKEGO
MINUTES OF MEETING HELD JUNE 18, 1979
The meeting was called to order at 7:40 P M. by Chairman Dumke. Also
present was Committee Member Salentine, Ald. Weed, Van Lanen and Pienkos,
Mayor Gottfried and persons as per the attached list.
Mr Craig Lawandowski, representing residents of the Big Muskego Lake -
Bass Bay area spoke in favor of continuation of the present sewer
moratorium Discussion took place regarding the status of the present
moratorium in both the northwest and northeast districts. It was
generally agreed that the individuals present at the meeting were
primarily interested in the Northwest Sewer District. Communications
from Senator Adelman and Representative Stabaz were presented to the
committee by Chairman Dumke. Considerable discussion took place as
to the legality of the moratorium. The committee reviewed the opinion
rendered by Attorney Buckley on June 7, 1979. There was disagreement
amongst those present as to how City At.torney Buckley's letter should
be interpreted. The committee also discussed that if a total building
moratorium were to be imposed in the Northwest District should there
be any exceptions? Ald. Salentine moved to recommend to the Common
Council that a total moratorium in the Northwest District be imposed
with the following exceptions: (1) 69 lots in the previously
a p p r o v e d Marlan Meadows Subdivision and 31 lots in the Guernsey
Meadows Add. I{1 Subdivision. (2) Lots which have been sold in the
city's industrial park. Seconded by Ald. Dumke. Motion carried.
Mr. Stanley Potrykus, developer of Lake Meadows, appeared at the meeting
to present his plans for sewering the 13 lots involved in Lake Meadows
Addition #1. He indicated that his subdivision could be served through
sewers presently being constructed in Lake Meadows Subdivision and that
the residents on the east side of North Shore Drive could then pump
their sewage into those lines. A brief communication from Frank
Ruekert indicated that they would prefer to have sewer installed along the
North Shore right-of-way. However, the committee noted that because
of the depth required of that sewer it would be more costly. The
committee agreed to permit Lake Meadows Addition #1 to connect into
the Lake Denoon sewer system either by installation of sewers along
North Shore Drive or by sewers constructed within Lake Meadows Addition
Yf'-1 depending upon cost estimates which will be prepared by the city's
engineers.
Mr Doug Erno, a resident of North Shore Drive, appeared before the
committee to urge that sewers be made available Mr. Erno was assured
by the committee that sewer service would be available once it is de-
termined where they should be constructed.
ne committee reviewed a communication from Building Inspector Lee
ndicating that a request had been received from Rock Contractors and
Super Excavators to install a 2z" asphalt mat on the roads in the
Denoon area where sewers had been installed rather than the reauired
3" mat Mr. Lee indicated that it is the contractor's position that
the construction delay caused by the city resulted in a substantial
increase in the cost of asphalt It is recommended that if a 3" mat
were required an additional amount of $5,400.00 would have to be paid
by the district. A couJ unication indicated that Frank Ruekert, Jr. has
recommended that the request be granted. The committee agreed to the
change and specifications subject to a review by Supt. Bertram. It
was further determined that South Denoon Road should not be restored
until the water problem on the south side of the road across from
Amann's Acres is resolved unless the City Attorney feels that resolution
of the problem would take a longer than normal period of time.
With reference to the Public Sewer Committee meeting held 5/21/79 during
which the committee granted the Robert Marcheschi residence in Hillendale
Heights Subdivision permission to connect into the city's sewer system
through an easement. Ald_ Dumke moved that the Marcheschis' be charged
a $500.00 hookup fee. Seconded by Ald. Salentine. Motion carried.

Ald Weed advised the committee that he had been contacted by one of
his constituents who owned a mobile home for permission to dump the
waste from that mobile home into a city manhole. Following considerable
discussion it was the decision of the committee to deny the request.
The committee reviewed correspondence from Layne -Northwest Company
which estimated what it would cost to provide laboratory services for
testing water samples taken at the city's treatment facilities. Mayor
Gottfried advised the committee that the DNR is requiring tests which
cannot be performed with the equipment we presently have. He indicated
that because of the cost of the equipment and the additional manpower
which probably would be needed John Mielke has recommended that outside
testing laboratories be utilized. Alderman Salentine moved to
recommend to the Common Council that Layne -Northwest Company, Inc.
be hired to perform those tests on the city's sewerage systems which
cannot be performed by use of our present facilities. Seconded by Ald.
Dumke. Motion carried.
• Ald. Dumke moved to adjourn. Seconded by Ald. Salentine. Motion
carried. The meeting adjourned at 10:30 P M.
