PSEM19801117PUBLIC SEWER COMMITTEE - CITY OF MUSKEGO
MINUTES OF MEETING HELD 11/17/80
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Salentine at 8.00 P.M. Present
were Committee Members Radtke and Steinberg. Also present were Mayor
Gottfried, Gerald Lee, Stanley Potrykus, James Kibbe, Raymond Wallner,
Richard Wittbrot, Mr Donald Dixon and Mr, and Mrs. Herman Haut.
The minutes of the meeting held 10/20/80 were reviewed and amended to
read that Mr. Stanley Potrykus had not received preliminary plat approval
of his Oak Meadows Estates Subdivision.
The committee once again discussed Mr. Anthony Demshar's request for right -
of way necessary for sewer service to his home. Ald. Steinberg moved to
recommend to Common Council the city take whatever action is necessary to
secure a sewer connection on the Demshar property. Seconded by Ald.
Radtke. Motion carried.
The committee discussed what procedure to use in order that the
rights to connect to the Lake Denoon sewers by property owners who
have paid assessments can be protected. It was noted that because
of the sewage flow, restrictions established by the agreement
between Muskego and the Town of Norway there would be approximately
104 connections available if protection were given to property
owners who have paid sewer assessments. Ald. Salentine moved to
recommend to the Common Council the adoption of a policy whereby
the following 103 sewer connections be reserved for the property
• until the balance of the available connections are used up.
Seconded by Ald. Radtke. Motion carried.

The committee reviewed communications mailed to the four property
owners by Building Inspector Lee regarding forced hookups. Building
Inspector Lee advised the committee of the procedures he has used
in the past. The committee directed Building Inspector Lee to
continue his efforts to have the forced hookups completed as
quickly as possible. The committee reaffirmed its position that
it is in the best interest of the individuals involved to continue
the practice of obtaining quotes of the cost for the connections
to be made.
The report of the sewer treatment plant operator was reviewed
and placed on file.
Mr. Stanley Potrykus appeared before the committee to discuss his
request on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Haut that the proposed
subdivision, Oak Meadows Estates, be granted sewers. The committee
discussed at length the question of how best to allocate the
sewer connections which are available. Mr. Richard Wittbrot
explained that the property in the area of Kelsey Dr. and Racine
Ave. could be served by a gravity sewer which would be constructed
through the Caesar property. He indicated that there were approx-
imately 21 parcels which could be served by that sewer.
Chairman Salentine reminded those present that there is a court
action pending between Mr. Potrykus and the city which could very
well settle the question and he suggested that specific action be
delayed for four to six months. Ald. Steinberg moved -to recommend
to the Common Council that the moratorium on the extension of
sewers in the Lake Denoon area, with the exception of the previously
discussed 103 connection, be continued to June 1, 1981. Seconded
by Ald. Salentine. Motion carried.

Sewer Treatment Plant Operator James Kibbe and Building Inspector Lee
discussed with the committee the need for lands to deposit sludge
generated by the northeast treatment plant. Chairman Salentine
indicated that there were individuals available who could haul the
sludge away if it was deemed necessary. Mr. Kibbe advised the
committee that if the land on the west side of the treatment plant
were properly prepared it could serve the city's needs for some time.
The committee agreed to have the necessary work done in order that
land owned by the city on the west side of the northeast treatment
plant could be available for the depositing of sludge, when needed.
Ald. Steinberg moved to adjourn. Seconded by Ald. Radtke. Motion
carried. The meeting adjourned at 9:30 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Wayne Salentine, Sec'y.
