Board approves Quiet Wood Phase 2 development agreement and orders Campbell Drive bridge relocation steps
Summary
Trustees approved a development agreement for Quiet Wood Subdivision Phase 2 (41 single-family lots) and a relocation order initiating appraisal and property-owner contact for reconstruction of the Campbell Drive bridge.
The Menomonee Falls Village Board on May 19 approved two public-works items: a development agreement with Quiet Wood Development, LLC for the Quiet Wood Subdivision Phase 2 and a relocation order to begin property-owner contact and appraisal work for reconstruction of the Campbell Drive bridge.
Trustee Kress moved approval of a standard development agreement between Quiet Wood Development, LLC and the Village for Quiet Wood Subdivision Phase 2; the motion passed by unanimous voice vote. Trustees described Phase 2 as consisting of 41 single-family lots. Under the agreement the developer will pay the costs to install public infrastructure—sanitary, water main, storm sewer and roads—and dedicate that infrastructure to the village at no cost. The village will be reimbursed for oversight costs incurred during installation.
Trustees then approved a relocation order related to reconstruction of the Campbell Drive bridge (project number cited in the record as 27002901). Staff described the project as a needed replacement of a bridge over Butler Ditch, approximately 1,500 feet downstream from Overview Drive Bridge. The existing structure was described as deteriorating, with rust and backfill failures creating sinkholes behind the headwall; proposed work includes replacement of headwalls and guardrail with standard precast headwalls and standard guardrail. The relocation order is a preliminary procedural step that allows staff to contact property owners and prepare appraisals in accordance with Wisconsin statute.
Both measures passed unanimously by voice vote. The approvals start engineering, easement-acquisition and property negotiation processes but do not include final construction authorization; further design and acquisition steps were described as to come.
Next steps: developer to proceed with infrastructure installation under the development agreement; engineering staff to proceed with property-owner contact, appraisal and negotiation under the relocation order.
