- Analysis -
This resolution expresses the City of Milwaukee's opposition to any request from the City of Glendale to connect a 100-unit, senior-citizen housing development to sanitary sewer basis 1222 and under no circumstances shall the City of Glendale make any connection to it via Jewel Osco or a direct connection via the City of Glendale's 10" sanitary pipe located on the south side of W. Silver Spring Dr. which connects to City of Milwaukee sanitary sewer basin 1222.
BODY:
Whereas, On July 29, 1999, the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee adopted Resolution File Number 990411 rescinding permission granted to the City of Glendale to connect to a City of Milwaukee sanitary sewer and water main located in West Custer Ave. between North 13th St. and North 15th St.; and
Whereas, This connection would have been used to provide service to apartment housing in 2 buildings of 100 units each; and
Whereas, This permission was rescinded because of concerns that this connection might overburden the system and cause flooding and moisture problems to City of Milwaukee residents in the area; and
Whereas, On July 27, 1999 a sanitary sewer analysis was provided to Common Council members by the City Engineer noting that the sanitary sewer in the City of Milwaukee will be surcharged by 18 feet if the housing development in Glendale is connected to sanitary sewer basin 1222; and
Whereas, City of Milwaukee residents currently connected to this sewer line have already experienced flooding and moisture problems; and
Whereas, A letter of opposition was forwarded on January 4, 2000, to Mayor Donald Voith of Glendale, signed by Mayor John Norquist and Alderman Marvin Pratt, stating definitively that under no circumstances shall Glendale's development be connected now or in the future to the City of Glendale's 10" sanitary sewer pipe located on the south side of W. Silver Spring Dr. that connects to the City of Milwaukee's sanitary sewer system 1222; and
Whereas, The City of Milwaukee has no objection to the City of Glendale connecting the housing development to the existing 15" sanitary sewer located on the north side of W. Silver Spring Dr. which connects directly to a 39" Milwaukee Metropolitan Interceptor Sewer which will not have an adverse impact on City of Milwaukee residents; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the City of Milwaukee is opposed to the City of Glendale connecting to the Glendale sanitary sewer located on the south side of W. Silver Spring Dr. because of the sewer's connection to City of Milwaukee sanitary sewers and potential adverse impact on City of Milwaukee residents; and, be it
Further Resolved, The City of Glendale is encouraged to connect this development to its sanitary sewer on the north side of W. Silver Spring Dr. so as to prevent potential harm to neighboring City of Milwaukee residents who live in this area; and, be it
Further Resolved, That a certified copy of this resolution be sent to the City of Glendale.
