They started with a Land Disturbance permit last fall. They now have all their approvals from MMSD and DNR. Alderperson Hammel made a motion to approve the Twin Silos Public Improvements. Alderperson Terrance seconded. Motion Passed 2 in favor. Twin Silos Signage Request Director Kroeger explained this signage request is due to the sign being in our City ROW. The developer (and then transferring to the HOA) must maintain the sign, fix any damage and landscape at all times. Alderperson Terrance made a motion to approve the Twin Silos Signage Request. Alderperson Hammel seconded. Motion Passed 2 in favor. Discuss Compensation for the ROW Vacation on Lake Drive Director Kroeger explained the sliver of land, that the City owns, between Nico's Restaurant (soon to be Citizens Bank) and Muskego Beer and Liquor would be split 50/50 for each property. He stated there would be no benefit to either business owner by gaining this small amount of land, that the City does not see a need for Compensation. The Vacation portion of this still needs to go through Plan Commission and Common Council. Alderperson Terrance made a motion to Not Request Compensation for the ROW Vacation on Lake Drive. Alderperson Hammel seconded. Motion Passed 2 in favor. Crosswalk Request on Vine Street at Bay Lane Place Director Kroeger stated this request came through Alderperson Hammel. He stated there have been no accidents near Vine or Hilltop and Bay Lane Place in the last 10 years. Director Kroeger also called the principal, Sara Stanley, to ask if she has noticed a need or received requests about adding a crosswalk. He went on to explain that with a crosswalk, comes the need for a concrete pad on both sides of the road and an ADA ramp as well. Laura Cys (S73W16466 Vine St) spoke about the number of cars that speed coming off Janesville Road and do not slow down until closer to the school. She also mentioned the number of young children that walk from that end of the road to the school. Alderperson Terrance brought up that it may possibly make more sense to put the crosswalk at Hilltop Dr or try using crossing guards. The Committee and Ms. Cys continued to discuss the idea of crossing guards and not incurring the cost of adding a crosswalk. Try using police presence for 15-20 minutes daily. Talk to the school about using crossing guards since the City has received this safety request. Director Kroeger to reach out to Principal Stanley. Alderperson Terrance made a motion to defer the Crosswalk Request on Vine Street at Bay Lane Place. Alderperson Hammel seconded. Motion Passed 2 in favor.
