PSEM19860522PUBLIC SEWER COMMITTEE - CITY OF MUSKEGO • MINUTES OF MEETING HELD MAY 22, 1986 The meeting was called to order at 7:00 P.M. by Chairman Penovich. Also in attendance were Committee Member Sanders, Mayor Salentine, Sewer Treatment Plant Operator Kolskowski, Ald. Frank DeAngelis and those per the attached list. Mr. Russell Burss, a New Berlin resident, appeared before the Committee to request a sewer extension for his property on Bass Drive. There are twelve other homes on Bass Drive that also could be serviced. It was noted that some cooperation will be needed between the cities of New Berlin and Muskego to extend sewers to Bass Drive and that the request must be initiated by the City of New Berlin. Ald. Penovich moved to defer pending action being taken by the City of New Berlin. Seconded by Ald. Sanders, motion carried. Property owners from Oakhill Estates appeared before the Committee as a result of notification that the City is looking into the possibility of sewering this area. One property owner has received notification from the Department of Health that they have a failing septic, and several in attendance felt that there septics were also failing. It was noted that only one citizen had made a verbal reaction against this extension, but was unable to attend the meeting. It was the consensus of all property • owners in attendance that the City proceed with the necessary steps to sewer this area. Mayor Salentine informed the Committee that an engineer's report indicated that it would be feasible to connect this area to a manhole on Parkland, but it will be necessary to obtain easements. These sewer easements would be needed until sewers are extended north to Martin Drive to service this subdivision. Ald. Sanders moved to recommend to the Council to direct the City Engineers to prepare the plans and specs for bids and direct the City Attorney to take the necessary steps to acquire easements. Seconded by Ald. Penovich, motion carried. Ald. Penovich read correspondence from Mr. Howard Bernstein of the State of Wisconsin Department of Industry, Labor and Human Concerns which states that summer lake cottages which are lived in on a regular basis, in an area where a public sewage system is accessible, must be hooked up to that system within one year according to the State Plumbing Code. Ald. Penovich moved to arrange a personal meeting with Mr. Bernstein, our State Representative, and the Sewer Committee to research this problem in detail. Mr. Bob Lamb appeared before the Committee requesting that he be exempt from hooking up to sewers when he builds a home on Tess Corners Drive. Due to the unique character of his property, Mr. Lamb was asked to find an alternate method of sewering his • property, including a grinder pump system, and return to meet with the Sewer Committee next month with the cost estimates at that time. Public Sewer Committee - Page 2 • May 22, 1986 The Committee discussed the requested sewer extension on Tans Drive, off of Gold Drive, with Mr. Richard Zach. Ald. Penovich moved to approve the sewer extension, noting that it will not require oversizing for future capacity. Seconded by Ald. Sanders, motion carried. The Committee discussed the requested sewer extension for Phase II of the Lakeview Hills Subdivision with Mr. Frank Narlock. The Committee agreed that Mr. Narlock could pursue the extension of sewers through the Kohne property. The results of this discussion with the property owner will be reported at the next meeting. The Committee reviewed the Wentland Drive to Hillendale Drive sewer extension. Ald. Penovich moved to recommend to the Council to direct the City Engineers to prepare the plans and specs for bid. Seconded by Ald. Sanders, motion carried. The Committee reviewed a report from the City Engineers regarding the feasibility of a sewer extension to the Del Rio Apartments off of Valley Drive. The Committee was receptive to the request. Correspondence dated April 21, 1986 was reviewed regarding the • final completion of the Industrial Park Sewer & Water system referring to the items on the punch list, and placed on file. Mayor Salentine updated the Committee on the Ryback claim. The Committee recommended that the Mayor meet with Mr. and Mrs. Ryback to reach an agreement about the sewer installation on her property. Mayor Salentine gave an update on status of Flow Litigation. The Committee reviewed the minutes of the previous meeting. Ald. Penovich personally viewed Mrs. Kraemer's residence on Bristlecone and determined that, in his opinion, it does not contain the fixtures which would classify it as a Mother-in-law unit. Ald. Penovich moved to make the necessary adjustments to the sewer usage charge based on the single family status assessment. Seconded by Ald. Sanders, motion carried. A report was given by the Sewer Treatment Plant Operator, Scott Kloskowski. He reported that the metal building which was sold will be removed this weekend. The City of Burlington has purchased some of the equipment. However, the cutting -up of the iron work of the treatment plant may be a problem since salvage of the metal does not warrant the use of the gas consumed. • The Committee reviewed the proposed resolution Establishing Deferred Assessment Policies for Durhamswood and Aud Mar, the proposed Resolution As To Assessment Of Oschmann Property Public Sewer Committee - Page 3 • May 22, 1986 (Ladwig Drive Sewer Project), the proposed Resolution As To Assessment of Property (Durhamswood), and the proposed Resolution Deferring Special Assessment (Durhamswood).
