Old Business:
Consideration of Extension of One Year to Remove Garage per Certified Survey Map 11103 – Mohan
Dhairwal – Green Briar Drive – The certified survey map was approved in 2013 allowing them to keep
the garage without a residence for one year. In 2014 they obtained a one year extension. They are
asking for another extension. If a building permit is not issued within one year, the garage must come
down.
A motion to grant a year extension was made by Siepmann, second by Newman. Motion Carried.
New Business:
Consideration of Plan of Operation, Site Plan & Signage for Kim’s – Hwy K – Stone Bank – The Plan of
Operation has similar hours as the previous operation, she would like three events which would include
an outside 4th of July event, a one day car show, and a St Patrick’s Day event. Fintel currently owns a bar
on Pewaukee Lake. Haroldson said the approval should be contingent on Waukesha County.
A motion to approve the plan of operation and the site plan was made by Newman, second by Jensen.
Motion carried.
Consideration of Plan of Operation and New Carport – Tim Fleming – Stone Bank/Reynolds Rd – The
property is in business zoning so it needs approval from the Plan Commission. The carport will allow
parking for three cars or trucks, and the floor of the carport will be asphalt.
A motion to approve was made by Fleming, second by Good. Motion carried.
Consideration of Plan of Operation, Site & Building Plans – Bryce Satterfield – Hartman Court –
Satterfield wants to operate a landscaping business with outside storage for mulch and yard waste. Part
of the property is in shoreland jurisdiction. The front of the building will face the east. He currently has
his business in the Village of Hartland and is looking for a place of his own.

Park Committee:
Update from Ken Ward on behalf of Striker FC (Soccer Club) – Ward said this year they replaced 60% of
the siding on the concession stand because it was rotting. In 2017 they plan to install a septic system or
holding tank and possibly a well and in 2019 they plan to build restroom facilities and extend the
building out for a park pavilion to make it a multi-use park. Enrollment is slightly up this year with 1,800
participants. The lights have been on site and one light was vandalized. The training sessions last until
approximately November 6th and the following week the lights will be removed and put into storage
offsite. The lights won’t be back until September of 2016. Fleming questioned the weeds growing in the
gravel path. Ward said they contract with Granite Oaks Landscaping and they will have them take care of
that next year.
Planner Update:
Proposed Realignment of Hwy KE South of Hwy K – Morris received a letter that the Village of Hartland
sent to Shaver at Waukesha County to amend their land use plan and their SEWRPC plan to show the
alignment to the south of Hwy K. The Town agreed to the south location back when the border
agreement failed, but the County didn’t change their jurisdictional highway map which showed it to the
north. Siepmann said three times the County has amended this and all three times it passed on the
north side. There are a lot of new people now and the Village of Hartland is adamant about having it go
to the south.
Morris stated there will be a roundabout study in 2017 for the corner of Hwy Vv and Hwy E and the
roundabout will be constructed in 2018.
A motion to adjourn was made by Fleming, second by Siepmann. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at
5:59 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Holly R Claas
