5. Initial presentation for Village Crossing II at Pabst Farms, southwest corner of Valley Road (CTH B) and
Village Lane: Tony Zanon, from Pinnacle Engineering Group, stated the developer is proposing 26 two-family buildings.
The property is located south of Valley Rd., west of Village Lane and north of Gold Medal drive. The property is part of
the regional storm water regional plan for Pabst Farms that was completed in 2007. The property drains to a regional
pond. The property site is 10-acre in size. They are proposing 5-acres of impervious area which equates to 79%
impervious site. Their plan is to pick up all of storm water storm sewer and connect to the existing stubs that were
provided on Gold Medal Dr. The developer will be putting in sidewalks along Valley Rd. from Village Lane to just pass
Gold Medal Dr. Zanon stated he submitted plans to the City of Oconomowoc for staff review the first week of August. He
stated there were a couple of outstanding stormwater issues which have been addressed. Frye stated he received a letter
from Ruekert-Mielke and all outstanding items were addressed. Zanon stated he will be submitting plans to the City for
the next Plan Commission meeting. He also is requesting a permission letter from the regional facility to give to the DNR.
Elling stated that will have to be done through Pabst Farms Development. Frye suggested Zanon email him the
information of what the DNR needs and he will forward it to Niemann and McIlheran. He stated this project would go to
Plan Commission on September 12 and then to Council on September 18, 2018 and they would need a Developer’s
agreement and bids for a Line of Credit. Commissioners discussed when to hold the next meeting for final action.
Commissioners agreed to hold the next meeting on Wednesday, September 19, 2018 at City Hall.
6. Discussion and Action on 2019 Utility District budget preparation: Elling stated in the packet is a copy of the
current Financial Statement five-year history including this year’s budget and actuals year to date. Commission discussed
the current status of the budget and the long-term history leading to the current fund balance. Elling stated the district
needs to look at the pond behind the Fire Department and the one on Pabst Farms Blvd.
Elling stated he met with Frye to discuss a couple of things for next year. The first item is Professional Services. A couple
of years ago the District had inspections done but there was no follow up. Elling suggested doing an RFP or having RA
Smith do the inspections and follow ups. The cost was $9,000 just for the inspections with no follow up last time. The
second item, Frye stated the stormwater district has no staff and he feels there should be a line item for Municipal
Reimbursement to reimburse the two municipalities for their time spent on stormwater business. Commissioners
discussed adding municipal reimbursement and how much to add to the budget. Elling stated the third thing is
maintenance or inspection of route from Eastlake Village. There have been no inspections done since they were installed.
Elling suggested having them flushed. Frye stated this would be for the Eastlake pipe and the pipe going under I-94.
Commissioners discussed using the balance surplus for jetting and inspections and not adding to the tax levy.
Elling suggested maintaining revenues of $18,350, change interest to $1,000 for a total of $19,350. In addition, Elling
suggested for expenditures to leave Insurance at $6,500, change Professional Services to $14,000, change Other Admin
to $5,000 for staff time, change Maintenance Landscaping/Mowing/Pond Maintenance to $11,200 for jetting of the existing
facilities and mowing and for a total of $36,700 and a fund balance transfer of $17,350.
