Bayside trustees approve sewer MOUs, solar array plan and multiple zoning exceptions
Summary
The Village of Bayside Board of Trustees on Sept. 12 approved memoranda of understanding tied to MMSDPrivate Property Infiltration & Inflow programs, a solar array project with a $140,000 grant commitment, and several zoning special exceptions and signage requests.
The Village of Bayside Board of Trustees voted Sept. 12 to approve amendments and memoranda of understanding linked to the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District(MMSD) Private Property Infiltration & Inflow program, advance a solar array project for 2025 budget inclusion, and grant several zoning special exceptions and signage variances.
Operations Superintendent Shane Albers provided the board with an overview of three related actions tied to MMSDPPII programs: 1st Amendments to Funding Agreements M10005BA01 and M10005BA02 (the latter applies to 13 properties and carries no additional Village cost) and Memorandum of Understanding M10005BA03, which authorizes MMSD to serve as construction manager for the PPII work. The Board approved each of those items unanimously.
The Board also received an update on 2024 capital projects. Albers said the 2024 road project is about 95% complete, the East Side Sanitary Sewer Relief Project is complete, MMSD PPII construction is scheduled to begin in October, and installation of an Advanced Warning Crosswalk System Replacement is expected to start in early October.
Trustee Mike Barth introduced a proposal to add solar arrays at 621 W. Brown Deer Road, Ellsworth Park, and Village Hall. Village Manager Andy Pederson told trustees the project will be included in the 2025 budget and that a grant will fund $140,000 of the work; the board gave advance approval to secure the grant and order materials. The motion passed unanimously.
On zoning and signage matters the Board approved a special exception and accompanying right-of-privilege agreement for stairs at 202 W. Brown Deer Road, a temporary cabinet-style monument sign at 8909 N. Port Washington Road for up to 18 months (contrary to the usual 15-day temporary-sign limit), and a monument sign at 9001 N. Port Washington Road subject to revised lower-panel language. The Board also approved a special exception for an addition at 9270 N. Waverly Drive; that motion carried 3to1, with Trustee Mike Barth recorded as abstaining.
The consent agenda, approved at the start of the meeting, included minutes, the August 2024 financial statement, a Summary of Disbursements totaling $966,664.10, police and public works reports, Police Department SOP Chapters 5—7, Resolution 24-16 redeeming $55,000 of Special Assessment B Bonds (Series 2015A), and the sanitary-sewer CCTV-inspection contract, among other items.
No board member proposed further changes to the items on the agenda, and no closed session was held.
What happens next: MMSD-related construction is scheduled to begin in October; the solar array project will move forward through the 2025 budget process and grant procurement. Trustees did not take any immediate additional votes on OneNorth or library financing during this meeting.
