WHEREAS, The lots range in size between 22,806 SF and 44,310 SF , and
WHEREAS, The 2020 Comprehensive Plan has the area as Rural Density Residential (densities of <0.49
units/acre) and the proposal meets this requirement under the Conservation Planned Development zoning
previously approved, and
WHEREAS, The development will be serviced by private water wells and municipal sanitary sewer, and
WHEREAS, Enhancements and restoration of the open space areas were identified during the zoning
process and were identified as follows:
Preservation of environmental features identified in the adopted Conservation Plan and any
other significant environmental features found in the platted area. Preservation may include
a minimum 50-75 foot setback from the environmental features identified. Conservation
Subdivision will have all wetlands in outlots (none on private lots). Setbacks for wetlands will be
80’-100’+ from any private lot lines.
Restores native prairie and provides a management plan for perpetual maintenance.
Conservation Subdivision will have all open spaces restored with prairie grasses and an open
space management plan recorded. (Important Note: Parcels to be farmed with soybeans in 2018
which will aid prairie restoration come fall.)
Improves water quality through stormwater management standards and practices that
exceed the minimum standards of Chapter 34 of the Municipal Code, and, as approved by
the City Engineer and the Public Works Committee. Ample room to provide enhanced
stormwater management practices to be approved by Muskego as part of future construction
plans.
Provides 50% or more of the gross acreage as open space in the development (Rights -of-
way shall not count towards open space requirements. Stormwater outlots may not count
towards open space requirements, subject to Planning Commission approval, when they
are subject to deed restrictions, easements, or open space management plans). 57% of
open space to occur. Further, no private lots will a but Lake Denoon frontage. A buffer with
restoration along a private outlot will occur instead.
As opposed to wetlands or other non-buildable areas; Open, buildable land may be counted
as more meaningful preservation for purposes of awarding bonus lots. A large amount of
open buildable land will now be kept in restored outlots instead of developed as large open lots
like shown in the yield plan.
