(DURHAM DRIVE / TAX KEY NOS. 2203.990, 2203.990.001, & 2204.996)
WHEREAS, On March 28, 2006 a preliminary plat was submitted by Bill Carity for the Belle Chasse Subdivision located in the SE ¼ & SW ¼ of Section 11, and
WHEREAS, On May 1, 2006 an updated preliminary plat reflecting the Conservation Commission recommendations was submitted by Bill Carity for the Belle Chasse Subdivision located in
the SE ¼ & SW ¼ of Section 11, and
WHEREAS, Said plat proposes 128 lots for single-family use and 8 outlots for wetland preservation, stormwater management, open space preservation, and right-of-way reservation for
future dedication, and
WHEREAS, The area of the proposed development is currently zoned RS-2 Suburban Residence District requiring a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet and minimum width of 110 feet,
and
WHEREAS, A rezoning proposal is on the floor of the Common Council for RS-2/OPD Suburban Residence District with a Planned Development Overlay District to allow lots of 18,000 square
feet and 100 feet in width and the proposed platted lots all meet these requirements, and
WHEREAS, The Common Council is waiting to vote on the RS-2/OPD zoning proposal until the preliminary plat is ready for approvals, and
WHEREAS, The Planned Development is proposed for this reduction in lot density for open space preservation; Further, the Planned Development will not reduce offsets/setbacks for the
lots with the exception of one reduced setback for corner lots (40 feet to 30 feet), which is typical, and
WHEREAS, The development is dependent on the Common Council approving the pending Ordinance for RS-2/OPD zoning, and
WHEREAS, The 2010 Comprehensive Plan currently depicts the property for medium-density residential uses consistent with the RS-2 and RS-3 Districts (1.6 – 2.99 units an acre), and
this proposal is consistent with this goal, and
WHEREAS, The plat does contain high acquisition priority conservation lands in the platted area and the Conservation Commission has addressed the plat and these vital environmental
areas, and
WHEREAS, The Conservation Commission reviewed the proposed grading plans and tree surveys for the development at their April 24, 2006 meeting and found that some of the lots invaded
the environmental areas excessively and the Commission recommended that many lots be scaled back or removed, and
WHEREAS, The developer has removed and scaled back many lots on the west side of Durham Drive while also including extensive Preservation Easements in order to meet the Conservation
Commission recommendations, and
WHEREAS, The developer has noted to staff that an arborist will be a part of the development of the subdivision during construction to make sure all trees within the preservation easements
have the least amount of impact, and
WHEREAS, The developer has noted to staff that an arborist will also be a part of the construction of any new home in the subdivision that abuts a Preservation Easement to make sure
all trees within the preservation easements have the least amount of impact, and
WHEREAS, The 2003-2007 Plan does identify a trail need along Durham Drive and the Park Board voted to have the developer include a trail along the west side of Durham Drive throughout
the development, and
WHEREAS, The main access points to the subdivision are found along Mystic Drive, Durham Drive, and McShane Drive, and
WHEREAS, The Plan Commission has found that the plat is consistent with the adopted 2010 Comprehensive Plan and the 2010 Street System Plan, and
WHEREAS, Said parcels will be serviced by City sewer and water, and
WHEREAS, Stormwater management will be accommodated within the outlots depicted.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the Plan Commission recommends approval to the Common Council of a Preliminary Plat for the Belle Chasse Subdivision, located in the SE ¼ & SW ¼ of Section
17 and will be receptive to the submittal of a final plat, subject to resolution of technical discrepancies as identified by the City Planning Department and City Engineers, and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That Outlot 5 is the possible future area that the City of Muskego has defined as needed for the realignment of Durham Drive and the developer must reserve
this portion of land to dedicate to the City when the City of Muskego is ready to move ahead with the realignment; Further, the restrictions of this outlot will be found in the future
developer’s agreement approved with the final plat.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the soil boring study is delivered to the Planning Department before Final Plat approvals.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That an updated tree survey showing all trees that are to be disturbed be delivered to the Planning Department before Final Plat approvals.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Conservation Committee must review the Final Plat before final approvals and that a tree survey should be delivered to the City Forester for all disturbed
wooded areas on the plat so the Conservation Commission can make final determinations on all lots.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That Preservation easements should cover as much of the plat as possible and easements shall be defined with restrictions.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That all lots abutting the existing outer roadways show no access except to the new roadways being created.
