Salentine, Mayor ATTEST : 0 City Clerk 2/89 SEWRPC STAFF MEMORANDUM RESPONSE TO REQUEST BY THE CITY OF MUSKEGO FOR THE CITY OF MUSKEGO, WAUKESHA COUNTY, WISCONSIN TO AMEND THE SANITARY SEWER SERVICE AREA INTRODUCTION In May 1982, the City of Muskego adopted a refined and detailed sanitary sewer service area plan which identified lands within the City anticipated to be tributary to the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage System. The findings and recommendations of that plan are documented in SEWRPC Community Assistance Planning Report No. 64, Sanitary Sewer Service Area for the City of Muskego, Waukesha County, Wisconsin. The plan was subsequently adopted by the Regional Planning Commission on June 17, 1982, and was certified by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources on October 15, 1982. In accordance with good planning practice, it was recommended that the Muskego sewer service area plan be periodically reviewed to assure that it continued to properly reflect community urban development objectives, especially as such objectives may relate to the amount and spatial distribution of new urban development requiring sewer service The City of Muskego, on November 12, 1985, as part of this periodic review process, requested that the Regional Planning Commission amend the adopted Muskego sanitary sewer service area to include: areas of existing residential development located east and southeast of Muskego Lake in the City of Muskego that were experiencing serious opera- tional problems with onsite sewage disposal systems; an area containing the Waste Management of Wisconsin, Inc., Metro landfill--located within the City of Franklin--in order to provide leachate conveyance and treatment services for this landfill operation; and certain lands in the City proposed for urban development located adjacent to, but outside of, the adopted service area. In addition, City of Muskego officials requested that the sewer service area be amended to exclude certain lands within the currently adopted sewer service area which were envisioned to require sewer service subsequent to the year 2000, The revised sanitary sewer service plan for the City of Muskego as documented in SEWRPC Community Assistance Planning Report No 64 (2nd . -2- a Edition), Sanitary Sewer Service Area for the City of Muskego, Waukesha County, Wisconsin, was adopted by the Regional Planning Commission on March 3, 1986, and by the City of Muskego on March 11, 1986. Subsequent to the adoption of this plan by the City of Muskego and the Regional Planning Commission, the Commission received a letter from the City of Franklin indicating that the City of Franklin would not support adoption of the Muskego sewer service area plan because the plan recommended that the Metro landfill be included within the City of Huskego sewer service area. The City of Franklin noted that the Metro landfill was located within its corpo- rate limits and it was envisioned that the landfill would be provided with sewer service through City of Franklin sanitary sewerage facilities. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources subsequently approved the sanitary sewer service area plan for the City of Muskego--Znd Edition--with the stipulation that the Waste Management of Wisconsin Metro Landfill and attendant force main be excluded from the plan. The Department further recommended that the issue of determining which sewerage system--City of Franklin or Muskego--would provide service to the Metro landfill located in U. S. Public Land Survey Section 31, Town 5 North, Range 21 East, City of Franklin, as well as the Briggs and Stratton and Emerald Park landfills located west of STH 45 in U. S. Public Land Survey Section 36, Town 5 North, Range 20 East, City of Muskego, be addressed in future sewer service area amendments In order to address the foregoing issue, an interagency meeting attended by representatives of the Cities of Muskego and Franklin; the Milwaukee Hetro- politan Sewerage District; the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources; the Metro, Briggs and Stratton, and Emerald Park landfills; and SEWRPC was held on July 26, 1988. At the conclusion of that meeting, it was agreed that the City of Franklin would provide sanitary sewer service to the Waste Management of Wisconsin Metro landfill--to be described in a forthcoming sewer service area refinement report for the City of Franklin--and that the City of Muskego would provide sanitary sewer service to the Briggs and Stratton and Emerald Park landfills. -3- RECOMMENDED REVISIONS TO THE CITY OF MUSKEGO SEWER SERVICE AREA By letter dated September 20, 1988, the City of Muskego formally requested that the Commission amend the City's currently adopted sewer service area as set forth in SEWRPC Community Assistance Planning Report No. 64 (2nd Edition), by removing from the sewer service area, approximately 318 acres of land attendant to the Waste Management of Wisconsin Metro landfill, located within U. S. Public Land Survey Section 31. Town 5 North, Range 21 East, City of Franklin and adding to the sewer service area approximately 389 acres of land attendant to the Briggs and Stratton and Emerald Park Landfills as well as certain adjacent existing residential and potential industrial lands located along the west side of USH 45 in U. S. Public Land Survey Sections 25 and 36, Town 5 North, Range 20 East, City of Muskego (see Map 1). The effect of the proposed changes is to add approximately 71 acres including a total of eight existing housing units to the planned sewer service area. The revised year 2000 City of Muskego sanitary sewer service area, all of which is tributary to the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage System, totals about 15.9 square miles including about 2.3 square miles of primary environmental corridor, 1.1 square miles of secondary environmental corridor, and 0.8 square miles of isolated natural areas. Thus, about 4.2 square miles, or about 26 percent of the revised sewer service area, would be comprised of environ- mentally sensitive lands. Since it is envisioned that all currently undevel- oped lands in the area to be added would be utilized for landfill or indus- trial purposes, the year 2000 residential density of 2.2 dwelling units per net residential acre as set forth in the second edition of the City of Muskego sewer service area plan would remain unchanged. PUBLIC REACTION TO PLAN AMENDMENT A public hearing was held on Feb. 2. 1989, at the Muskego City Hall to receive public comment on, and reaction to, the plan amendment. The hearing was sponsored jointly by the City of Muskego and the Regional Planning Commis- sion. A complete set of minutes of the public hearing is presented in Appen- dix A.
