· De-icing Salt - The Committee reviewed the status of available salt supply and our snow plowing and salting practices.

· Town of Grafton - Dreblow read a letter from Chairman Rosenberg regarding CTH C and possible changes to the road that may result from the annexation and development of lands in the town recently annexed into the City of Port Washington.

· STH ‘W’ - Dreblow read a fax from Scott Solverson directing that CTH W-Zedler to Sunnydale be opened to four lanes of traffic.

· STH 32 Detour - The Committee reviewed and concurred with the proposed detour route for the STH 32 connecting highway project. CTH LL and STH 33 would be the designated route to detour traffic for the segment of STH 32 from STH 33 to the Justice Center.

· WisDOT - Dreblow reviewed the DOT semi-annual newsletter that summarizes the state projects for the next six years in Ozaukee County. Copies were provided to the committee.

· City of Mequon - Dreblow read a letter from the Mequon Administrator regarding the recent actions of the City of Mequon regarding Wauwatosa road and their desire not to transfer jurisdiction at this time.

· Supervisor Syl Weyker - A memo from Weyker indicating concerns about the creation of a centralized finance department was read to the Committee.

· CTH ‘I’ - Tom Lanser of Gremmer and Associates appeared to update the committee on the status of the CTH I project (Cedar Sauk to STH 33). An issue has been raised by DNR regarding moving of the intersection with STH 33 easterly. Tom Lanser will be working with DNR to justify the relocation of the intersection and its impact on the wetland and possible habitat for an endangered dragonfly. The committee felt that the recommended design being presented offered the safest possible alignment and that we should proceed with that design as the recommended alternative.

· STH 57 and CTH ‘A’ future signalization - A letter from DOT to the Village of Fredonia regarding the possible installation of traffic signals at CTH A and STH 57 was read to the Committee. This item will be placed on the next agenda for the Committee to provide a response to DOT and provide them with the Highway Committee’s position on whether or not signals are desired at that location.

· In a related matter, Mr. Wally Thill, representing the Association of Snowmobile Clubs, appeared to ask the Committee to consider snowmobiles crossing STH 57 north of CTH A. There is a present crossing point, and Mr. Thill asked that the Committee support marking of a safe crossing point when the new design is constructed. The Committee directed Dreblow to send a letter to the DOT project manager to request that a safe crossing point be designated to accommodate snowmobile use.

· CTH ‘W’ - STH 167 to Glen Oaks - The committee reviewed the proposed amendment No. 1 to the engineering services agreement for an additional fee of $12,481.93 for added work on the facilities development for that project. The added work was needed because of the additional review, discussions, presentations and meetings needed for development of the proposed final design under consideration. The amendment would be eligible for 80% funding by the State, with the local share split 50/50 with the City of Mequon, per the intergovernmental agreement. Moved by Uselding, seconded by Grossklaus to approve amendment No.1 for project I D 2697-01-03, CTH W, Mequon to Glen Oaks. Motion Carried unanimously

· Tire repair/replacement practices - Shop Superintendent Bill Leppla appeared to review the County’s practices regarding tire repair and replacement in response to two employee’ requests. In the first instance, the employee had objected to the plugging and patching of a hole in a front tire. After review and discussion, it was the consensus of the Committee that our practice of plugging and patching was safe and appropriate and that it be continued. The second issue involved tread wear and depth. An employee had requested replacement rear tires due to poor traction. When remaining tread on rear tires is at about 7/32 typically they are replaced. CDL law requires that they be replaced at 2/32. For front tires, they are replaced at about 5 or 6/32, with CDL law, it requires replacement at 4/32. Given the economic considerations, it was felt our practices were safe and reasonable. Recognizing that traction could be a problem in winter, Leppla will consider trying to re-groove the tires to improve traction and operators will need to keep added weight on when added traction is needed. In both instances, Leppla provided a written response to the employee regarding their request and concerns.

· Surveyor’s Institute. It was moved by Grossklaus, seconded by Kaul to approve the attendance of Mark Banton at the annual WSLS Surveyor’s Institute in Steven’s Point, January 24-26, 2001. Motion carried unanimously

· Development Seminar. Moved by Grossklaus, seconded by Kaul to approve attendance by Mark Banton and Bill Tackes at the January 16, 2001 WisDOT sponsored Development Seminar in Pewaukee. Motion carried unanimously.

The Highway Committee meeting was called to order by Chairman Kaul at 8:30 a.m. Present were committee members Kaul, Myers, Grosklaus and Eckert, Commissioner Dreblow and Office Manager Carroll. Mr. Uselding was excused.

Also in attendance were Supervisor Stan Kulfan, Bob Leben, Sarge Joys, Greg Rausch, Doug Janisch and Bill Kovacek. They were in attendance to discuss the CTH ‘W’ from Glen Oaks to STH 167 project design. Dreblow reviewed the design approval process by the city of Mequon as agreed to in the Secondary Agreement and Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Mayor, City Clerk and City Attorney in October, 1998. The citizens voiced the following concerns:

• If the sidewalk on the west side of the roadway was eliminated there would be minim affect on parking. Bicycles and pedestrians would use the sidewalk on the east side of the roadway. Bicycles would be encourages to use the walkway instead of the right most traffic lane.

• The back slope south of Glen Oaks should be designed at 4 to 1 instead of 3 to 1, this would make mowing safer and easier.

• Eliminate the median for the fist 1000 feet of the project and create a center turn lane instead. This would facilitate easier left turns and eliminate the need for u-turns.

• Would the joint driveway between Mequon Lawn and Garden and Grapes and Grain eventually become a city street. What would happen to the parking area that is currently behind the buildings.

The committee agreed to consider all the above points but took to action at this time. The citizens left the meeting.

Paul Gantner, town of Port Washington Highway Committee member, appeared to request that the Highway Department conduct a study of CTH ‘LL’ The town is opposed to the removal of the STH 33 overpass over CTH ‘LL’ and the relocation of CTH ‘LL’ to intersect with the proposed Maritime Drive. Gantner suggested routing STH 32 over CTH ‘LL’ as a bypass around the city. He feels this move would limit city sprawl. He questioned the impact on traffic that would come with the proposed V K development south of the city. Dreblow advised Gantner that the county has not seen a land use plan for the development.

Dreblow brought the committee up to date on the status of the Brunnquell request for a driveway access on CTH ‘W’ north of Saukville. The Brunnquells have appeared before the Board of Adjustment for a review of their request for a Special Exception Permit Application to fill in the floodway. The Board of Adjustment looked at three locations and agreed to approve location #3 as described in the 1/10/00 memo from Environmental Health Director Narveson, subject to meeting certain conditions. Motion by Grosklaus and second by Myers to take the Brunnquell driveway access variance request of the table. After discussion it was moved by Grosklaus and second by Myers to grant a variance to the County Access Control Ordinance to allow the driveway to be placed at a point 494 feet south of the north line of the SW ¼ of Section 24 in the town of Saukville, subject to the following conditions:

The DNR Floodplain Engineer or a private licensed engineer must certify that the proposed fill will not raise the floodplain elevation by 1/100^th of a foot. The procedure and findings of the private engineer must be reviewed and accepted by the DNR before they are valid.

A revised plan showing the corrected floodplain elevation and the amount of fill necessary must be submitted as part of the file.

An erosion control plan must be submitted as part of the project file, The erosion controls must be consistent with the Construction Site Erosion Control Best Management handbook, 1993 edition, and be installed at the start of construction and be maintained until the site is revegetated or otherwise protected from erosion.

All necessary Federal, State, and local permits must be obtained and copies of the permits be submitted to this department before starting the project to determine what, if any, conditions were imposed by those permits.

Approval of the request for this location and granting of a Special Exception Permit from the County Board of Adjustment.

The Certified Survey Map shall include a restriction that prohibits direct vehicular access along the balance of the frontage of the property on CTH ‘W’, except for the width approval for the driveway.

All members present voting aye, the motion passed.

Wirth explained to the committee that U S Cellular has an easement, for which the county receives an annual rent, at the CTH ‘C’ parking lot for a communications tower. Wirth feels that the county is within it’s rights to grant an additional access easement at the site. This would allow additional users on U S Cellular tower. Motion by Uselding and second by Grosklaus to authorize Wirth to negotiate additional easements, with terms in the county’s best interest.

Bley, Wirth and Brunnquell left the meeting.

Bill Karrels, town of Belgium, joined the meeting. Karrels is concerned about traffic on Dixie Road from the proposed quarry on the Becker property. Karrels would like to see Dixie Road designated a rustic road. The committee advised Karrels that the county realizes there is a need for quarried stone in Ozaukee County. At this point the concern of the Highway Department would be traffic impact on CTH ‘LL’, CTH ‘KW’ and CTH ‘A’. The committee will postpone any action until and if the town of Belgium approves the quarry. Karrels thanked the committee for their time and left the meeting.
