PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
The Pledge of Allegiance was recited.
1. APPROVE MINUTES OF JULY 25, 2001
F. WELCH MOTIONED TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF THE JULY 25, 2001 MEETING. P. SCHUMAN SECONDED THE MOTION. THERE WAS NO DISCUSSION. ALL WERE IN FAVOR. MOTION CARRIED.
D. Curtis Costa discussed how the new stormwater ordinance would be enforced when a change in tenants or to the buildings occurred. M. Carlson stated that he would review the tape. F. Welch clarified that the only way to impose the new ordinance is when it comes to the table in some other form, i.e. structural change or change in use, then the applicant would be required to give the City an easement to investigate their stormwater system. The system would have to be inspected and make certain that it met the approved design criteria. The City wants an easement over the existing basin that they had and the agreement that it would meet the standards. If the system were not maintained, the agreement would state that the City could go in and maintain it at the expense of the owner.
2. DELAFIELD CITIZEN COMMENTS PERTAINING TO SUBJECTS ON THIS AGENDA.
Marcia Stocks, 226 Genesee Street -- Regarding Item 7a, Demapping of Proposed Street. She has been following this issue since 1996. Feels that a new collector street coming out where it would, would affect the traffic flow on Genesee Street. She read portions from a document that was commissioned by the City of Delafield in the past, dated 5/29/98, SEWRPC Memorandum Report #127, A Transportation Study for the Core Area of the City of Delafield. Her concern is the complexity of traffic on Genesee Street.
A resident spoke regarding Item 6a and questioned if this would include sewer. Mayor McAleer stated that it would include sewer.

Dupler stated that grading, traffic flows, green space calculations, have all been taken care of. L. Kassens displayed a sample of the brick that would be used for the building (a full dimension brick, full depth). The roof is made of composition shingles in a weathered wood color. M.
