APPROVAL OF A BUILDING SITE AND OPERATION PLAN AMENDMENT FOR MUSKEGO
LAKES MIDDLE SCHOOL LOCATED IN THE NE ¼ OF SECTION 13
(TAX KEY 2209.999 & 2209.987 / W124 S8009 NORTH CAPE ROAD &
S81 W124904 HI VIEW DRIVE)
WHEREAS, A submittal was received from the Muskego Norway School District (MNSD) for a
Building, Site, and Operation Plan Amendment approval located at W124 S8009 North Cape
Road & S81 W12904 Hi View Drive (Tax Key Nos. 2209.999 & 2209.987), and
WHEREAS, In 2017 the Plan Commission approved an access from the middle school to Hi View
Drive for emergency personnel only, not for daily traffic, and
WHEREAS, A proposal has now been submitted for the 2020-2021 school year to use the
emergency access for daily use to accommodate an anticipated increase in student drop-off/pick-
up due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and
WHEREAS, The emergency access was approved ensuring that all efforts be taken to minimalize
impacts to existing trees and landscaping and with a gate so it would only be used for/in
emergency situations, and
WHEREAS, A 75-foot wide easement or access way as approved is 12-feet wide asphalt
driveway with 4-foot shoulders on each side of the driveway, and
WHEREAS, All vehicles will be entering the school grounds from North Cape Road and then split
for 5th & 6th grade directed toward the southern front lot where these vehicles would exit back to
North Cape Road, and
WHEREAS, Buses will be directed toward the northern front lot and will not use the emergency
access, and
WHEREAS, Parents of the 7th and 8th graders will be directed to a loop around the school with
drop off in the rear that would exit via the emergency access onto Hi View Drive, and
WHEREAS, The anticipated traffic volume cannot be accommodated utilizing the North Cape
Road as the sole entrance/exit for all vehicles and buses, and
WHEREAS, The additional traffic will likely cause back-ups both leaving the site and entering
from North Cape Road, and
WHEREAS, The merging point on the southeast side of the school is on an incline where visibility
is a concern if all traffic must use the North Cape Road exit, and
WHEREAS, The Muskego Norway School District has identified two separate 10-minute windows
where the anticipated traffic will be maximized on the emergency access, one for drop off (7:55 –
8:05) and one for pick-up (3:05 – 3:15).
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the Plan Commission approves of a Building, Site and
Operation Plan amendment located at W124 S8009 North Cape Road & S81 W12904 Hi View
Drive (Tax Key Nos. 2209.999 & 2209.987).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The driveway and general access area must be fully maintained
(plowing and mowing) and fully accessible to emergency personnel at all times.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Only traffic exiting the site will use the emergency access onto Hi
View Drive.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Use of the emergency access for daily drop off and pick-up is for
only the 2020-2021 school year.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Appropriate signage must be installed to prevent two-way
traffic.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The gate must be locked between drop off and pick-up and
also after pick-up overnight until drop-off time.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That failure to comply with the approval contained in this
resolution shall result in the imposition of fines of $100 per day, the initiation of legal action, or
both.
