Court Room – Safety Building 2100 N. Calhoun Road - Brookfield, WI Waukesha County Parks and Planning is requesting a conditional use permit within the City of Brookfield’s Floodway District and Floodfringe District for construction of a non-motorized recreational trail, in association with the development of the Pewaukee to Brookfield Connector Multi-use Trail, utilizing the abandoned railroad corridor owned by Waukesha County along the Fox River. The City’s floodplain district regulations require that the project be engineered to have no net loss of flood storage in the floodplain, nor obstruct the flow of the floodway. The County has engineered the project to match existing grade conditions of the railroad corridor as much as possible, with compensatory storage as needed, to meet these requirements. General project extent begins at Watertown Road to the southwest and terminates at North Brookfield Road in the Village area of Brookfield to the northeast. The meeting is an open house. No presentation will be made. Representatives from Waukesha County will be forwarded questions and comments about the project that are submitted at the meeting with response(s) sent to individuals providing appropriate contact information. City staff will answer questions regarding the conditional use permitting process and applicable regulations of the City’s floodplain districts. My office will represent the City of Brookfield and collect written comments for the Common Council and Plan Commission. A public hearing regarding this matter is tentatively scheduled for December 7, 2020. A separate public hearing notice will be mailed.
