Muskego council approves routine land‑use items, MS4 certification and liquor/event licenses
Summary
At its April 14 meeting the Muskego Common Council approved a package of routine items including survey maps, MS4 (stormwater) permit certification, a road‑dedication conversion required for a land split, termination of a tax‑increment district and several licenses; the council also approved a temporary police staffing authorization.
The City of Muskego Common Council approved a set of routine administrative and land‑use items during its April 14 meeting, including certified survey maps, an annual DNR MS4 permit certification and the conversion of an old “road reservation” to a formal road dedication needed for a property land division.
The council voted to approve the consent agenda that included Resolution 024‑2026 (a three‑lot certified survey map) and later approved Resolution 025‑2026, which staff described as an annual DNR MS4 permit certification. "So, this is just a DNR permit that has to be—we have to get a resolution for it," a staff member said during the discussion. The council approved Resolution 025‑2026 by voice vote.
Council members also approved Resolution 026‑2026, which converts a legacy certified‑survey map reservation into a city road dedication to allow a property owner to complete a land division. Staff (identified in the discussion as Adam and Jeff) explained the dedication is largely administrative and that the dedicated area will remain unimproved for now; indemnification language was added to limit city liability until the city decides to build a public road. Alderman Wolf asked whether the city would assume liability; staff said the property owner remains responsible for improvements if development later requires a constructed road.
Other approved items included Resolution 028‑2026 terminating a tax‑increment district (as presented to finance), Resolution 029‑2026 approving a two‑lot certified survey map (Judy Smuscowski, Mystic Drive), a Class A liquor license for Christian Brothers of Watertown LLC (dba Piggly Wiggly), and a special‑event retail outlet license for Raised Grain Brewing Company to serve at Mosquo National Night Out on Aug. 5, 2026. The council also approved a police department request for temporary authorization to exceed staffing limits to support hiring and academy needs; that request had been recommended by the finance committee.
