RESOLUTION #063-2014
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A GRANT FROM THE APPROVED
COMMERCIAL BUILDING AND GRANT PROGRAM & PARKING LOT PAYMENT
AGREEMENT IN THE FREEDOM SQUARE PARK
TWISTED CORK & SERENDIPITY REDESIGN
(W168 S7392 Parkland Drive & S74 W16832 Janesville Road)
WHEREAS, The Common Council approved the Building and Site Grant Program per Resolution #105-
2009 to help foster the development and redevelopment of the properties affected by the road
reconstructions and within the adopted Redevelopment Districts, and
WHEREAS, The Common Council has designated the Community Development Authority (CDA) as the
recommending approval body for the grant program, and
WHEREAS, A joint submittal from Greg Gonzales and Nicole Hahne has been received, which requests
matching grant monies to assist with a new parking lot improvement that they would pay for within the
Freedom Square Park along Parkland Drive; and
WHEREAS, The applicants businesses require more parking in this area of the city and no other options
can be found other than developing this new parking lot just north of their property, and
WHEREAS, The Parks and Recreation Board approved of a parking lot being built in the park subject to
the applicants paying for the project, maintaining the lot in winter (should they desire), and the lot being
open to the public, and
WHEREAS, The CDA has recommended approval of a grant request of $6,000 to aid in paying for the
parking lot improvements due to the following:
The Janesville Road reconstruction project left this property with more reduced parking than
before,
Increasing opportunities for parking along Janesville Road for the public can always help with the
walkability of the downtown and Redevelopment District,
The parking lot can aid in increased business for the current and future tenants while aiding with
safety as many cars currently have been parking along Parkland Drive which is very narrow and
has rural ditch sections, and
WHEREAS, The CDA has recommended the grant subject to the restrictions outlined below at its July 15,
2014 meeting, and
WHEREAS, If the parking lot improvements and grant are approved as approved by the Parks and
Recreation Board and CDA that certain restrictions are required for payment as outlined below, and
WHEREAS, The parking lot improvements in the park are required to be within a bid process and the
improvements would be put into the 2014 Road Program bid that has been approved, and
WHEREAS, The high end estimated cost of the parking lot would be $38,267, and
WHEREAS, If the grant was awarded, the monetary approved amount of the grant would be taken off the
top of the final cost to construct the parking lot.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED That the Common Council of the City of Muskego does hereby
allow the grant in the amount of $6,000 and approve of the new parking lot improvements to Freedom
Square Park subject to the following restrictions:
Reso. #063-2014 Page 2
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the grant amount will be taken off the estimated amount of the
parking lot project. Thus, $32,267 ($38,267 - $6,000) will be due as a cash deposit from the petitioners
before the parking lot improvements will be scheduled by the Public Works Director as part of the 2014
Road Program.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That monies will be refunded to the petitioners should the parking lot
improvements cost less than the $38,267 quoted.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That any parking lot maintenance agreements and open/close hours are
subject to the Parks and Recreation Board.
