VILLAGE OF MUKWONAGO || COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION PLAN

INTRODUCTION 1.1 PLAN PURPOSE Parks, recreation, trails and open space are important elements in the quality of life for all communities. Not only do parks, open space and trails provide a safe and healthy place to recreate, they also serve to beautify, protect the natural environment and influence the patterns of development in and around the community. The Village of Mukwonago realizes the importance and benefits its parks, open space and trail systems have on the community’s character and quality of life and is committed to providing for the recreational needs of current and future residents. This plan intends to guide the continual improvement of the Village’s park, open space and trail systems to maintain its eligibility for State and Federal park and recreation grants. This plan envisions a connected system of parks, open spaces, and trails throughout Mukwonago, related to the community’s natural resources, geography and neighborhoods. The plan is also intended to be a support document and component of the Mukwonago Comprehensive Land Use Plan. This plan along with Mukwonago’s other long-range plans and development-related ordinances, will be used to implement its parks and recreation program. Specifically the plan provides: ◊ Information regarding demographic trends ◊ An inventory of existing park and recreational facilities, ◊ An analysis of parkland and recreational needs and demands, ◊ General policy direction regarding park and open space and bicycle and pedestrian facility planning and maintenance, ◊ Recommendations for improving existing park facilities and bicycle and pedestrian facilities, ◊ Recommendations for new park, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and ◊ Implementation strategies.

CORP & GRANT FUNDING The Wisconsin Legislature created the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program (Stewardship) in 1989. Named for two of Wisconsin’s most revered conservation leaders, Warren Knowles (Governor 19651971) and Gaylord Nelson (Governor 19591963, U.S. Senator 1964-1981), the purpose of the program is to preserve valuable natural areas and wildlife habitat, protect water quality and fisheries, and expand opportunities for outdoor recreation. The conservation and recreation goals of the Stewardship Program are achieved through the acquisition of land and easements, development of recreational facilities, and restoration of wildlife habitat. The Stewardship grant program is the most widely used recreational grant program in the state. Eligibility for the program requires that a community maintain a local comprehensive outdoor recreation plan (CORP), updated every five years, and that the project for which grant funding is sought is described in the CORP. Many other similar state and federal recreational grant programs have similar requirements or have shown a tendency to favor those grant applications which are supported through previous community planning efforts.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

This plan identifies conceptual locations and recommendations for different types of parks, trails, natural areas, and recreational facilities. In nearly every case, more detailed planning, engineering, study, budgeting, and discussions will be necessary before decisions are made to actually acquire land or construct recreational facilities.

1.2 PLANNING PROCESS Recreation and bicycle and pedestrian planning are essential components of long-range community planning in Mukwonago. Currently Mukwonago has a Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (CORP) that was adopted in 2004. In 2017, the Village contracted with MSA Professional Services, Inc. to assist with an update to the 2004 CORP. Preparation and adoption of this plan occurred over a ten month period. Assistance with the development of this plan was provided by Village Staff and the Committee of the Whole. Early in the planning process Mukwonago facilitated an online community survey to gather citizen feedback on desired public park, trail and recreational facilities (Refer to Appendix A). The process also involved a public involvement meeting after draft goals, objectives, policies and programs had been created. A public hearing was also held prior to plan adoption. It is the Village’s intention to update this plan every five years, in-part to remain eligible for park and recreation grants (see side bar on previous page), and as best practice to ensure that the plan remains relevant to the community’s needs. This plan was developed following the Guidelines for the Development of Local Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plans of the 2011-2016 Wisconsin State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) created by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR). The plan content and format have been tailored to fit the needs of Mukwonago.

VILLAGE OF MUKWONAGO || COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION PLAN

INTRODUCTION 1.3 THE ROLE OF PARKS, RECREATION & TRAILS Proper planning is essential for the Village’s parks, open space and trail systems to continue to meet the recreation needs of the community, as well as to continue to preserve valuable natural areas. Whether the Village is experiencing a bear or bull period of economic growth, it is important to remember the many benefits that park and recreational facilities provide the community.

Community Image

Local parks provide opportunities for formal and informal social gatherings. Community festivals, organized recreational events, or chance meetings between residents at local parks, all provide opportunities for residents to socialize with people they might not otherwise meet. In addition, having excellent park and recreation facilities can be a source of pride for a community. These factors contribute to the image of the community as great places to live, work, stay and play.

Community Health

With the rising national trend in obesity, especially among children, the Village’s park, recreational and trail facilities play a vital role in maintaining and improving the health of residents in the community and aiding in the physical development of children. Parks also provide sanctuaries and places for residents to mentally recharge.

Ecological Health

While parks, open spaces and trails provide opportunities to improve the health of residents, they also contribute to the greater ecological health of the Village. Local parks are often tied together with environmentally sensitive areas such as wetlands, floodplains, surface waters, or significant woodlands which can include trails. These areas provide food and shelter for local wildlife and natural stormwater retention. Individual parks can provide important “rooms” of natural resource activity; however, they become

even more functional when they can be linked together by environmental corridors, or “hallways.” Wildlife, plants, and water all depend on the ability to move freely within the environment from room to room.

Economic Prosperity

Leisure time is an important component of everyone’s lifestyle and increasingly people are choosing locations to live based on quality-oflife amenities such as the amount and type of recreational facilities a community can offer. The ability to retain or attract new residents has direct economic benefits to the Village. Studies have also concluded that property values generally increase the closer residential lots are to a park facility. In addition, if a local parks system is designed with regional amenities, or connections to regional destinations, it can serve to bring additional visitors to the Village. The additional tourism can be a significant benefit to local businesses.

Connections

Connecting parks and recreational facilities, downtowns, libraries and schools to each other and the general population via trails is important to encourage safe, alternative modes of transportation. The Village desires to be pedestrian and bicycle friendly, especially in highly trafficked locations in the community. The Village also desires to be connected to other communities and regional facilities. This allows for residents to travel safely to locations outside of Mukwonago and it also invites nearby communities in. Dedicated bicycle and pedestrian trails improve the comfort of users, open-up new travel options, reduce automobile traffic, increase recreation and exercise and help create more livable communities overall.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

ABOUT: MUKWONAGO

VILLAGE OF MUKWONAGO || COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION PLAN

ABOUT: MUKWONAGO 2.1 LOCAL & REGIONAL CONTEXT The Village of Mukwonago is located in the southcentral portion of Waukesha County, Wisconsin, with a small portion of the Village also extending south into far northeastern Walworth County. Mukwonago is located approximately 90 miles northwest of Chicago, 30 miles southwest of Milwaukee, and 70 miles southeast of Madison, and has good access to all three of these metro areas via one of two major roadways which intersect within the Village limits, I-43 and WI-83. The Village has a rural “small town” atmosphere, yet its mix of single- and multi-family residential areas have access to a historic downtown, a central business district, and an extensive variety of retail and commercial businesses. Residents are also provided access to extensive professional, social and civic establishments and organizations.

2.2 TRANSPORTATION & CIRCULATION Two major roadways intersect within Village limits: I-43 and STH 83. I-43 provides a direct connection from Mukwonago to Milwaukee and I-94 which connects to Madison and Chicago. Pedestrian travel through the Village is accommodated on sidewalks in many locations. The Village requires sidewalks in all residential neighborhoods. In locations where sidewalks are not required, typically developments with private roads, the Village has required pedestrian paths in place of sidewalks. The Village also has multi-use trails for pedestrians and bicycles throughout the Village. The Village wishes to connect these multiuse trails to one another and existing sidewalks to provide a connected system that allows users easy access to residential neighborhoods, public spaces and other Village attractions.

In addition to sidewalks located along Village streets, the Ice Ace National Scenic Trail, a 1,000 mile footpath that travels through Wisconsin, runs to the west of Mukwonago. There is no current connection to the Village. The City of Muskego Recreation Trail (6.7 miles) and proposed Fox River Trail run to the east of Mukwonago with no current connection to the Village. Refer to Section 3.5 of this plan for additional information on these facilities. Snowmobile trails expand the range of seasonal recreational opportunities available in Waukesha and Walworth Counties, providing attractions during winter which promotes year-round tourism. A portion of State-funded snowmobile trail runs roughly from the west side of Mukwonago (CTH LO) to the north side near the railroad tracks. Mukwonago does not offer public transit or shared ride taxi service for the general public. Waukesha County offers transportation options in Mukwonago for older adults and those with disabilities in the form of shared-fare taxi and Rideline programs.

2.3 DEMOGRAPHICS This section describes some of the historic demographic trends for the Village of Mukwonago as it pertains to population, age composition, housing, and school enrollment. This includes data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) which is reported as a rolling average over a 5-year period. ACS data where the margin of error exceeds 10% will be bolded and italicized in tables. Data also comes from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) Mukwonago, Wisconsin Community Profile.

CHAPTER 2: ABOUT: MUKWONAGO

Population

The most recent population estimate for the Village is 7,866 for year 2017 (WEDC). From year 1980 to 2015, the population of Mukwonago grew by 86.5%, greatly out-pacing the percentage growth of Waukesha County (40.6%) and the State (22.0%). According to the WDOA population projections*, the Village is expected to add an additional 2,165 residents between 2015 and 2040. This represents a 28.9% increase over a 25 year period, or 1.02% annual growth. These projections are greater than the growth projected for Waukesha County (15.7%) and the State (13.1%). New park lands and facilities will be necessary to continue meeting the demands of new neighborhoods. *Note: Chapter 4 uses population projections calculated by the Village in Mukwonagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent Comprehensive Plan update (2016) to project need for park land. WDOA population projections are used in Table 2.1 solely to compare Mukwonago to Waukesha County and the State as a whole.

Age Composition

Age composition is an important consideration in park and recreational planning as needs and desires of individuals will vary based on their interests and physical abilities. The table on the right summarizes the age composition of the Villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population from 2017 (WEDC). Approximately 25.8% of the population is considered youth (<20 years old) which is slightly below the 2000 Census count (28.4%). Approximately 22.8% of the population is considered at retirement age (>60 years old), which is higher than the 2000 Census count of 14.0%. This number is projected to grow as Baby Boomers continue to age. Similar trends are being seen across the nation. The median age of the Village has risen from 33.9 in year 2000 to 38.8 in 2017 estimates, which is about the State median (39.0).

VILLAGE OF MUKWONAGO || COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION PLAN

ABOUT: MUKWONAGO Housing

Based on 2017 WEDC estimates, there are 3,151 households in the Village, 33.5% of which include at least one child under 18 years old. The total number of households was up 759 since the year 2000; however, the number of households with at least one child under 18 years old declined from 37.5% of all households in year 2000. The average household size is 2.45 individuals, down from 2.54 in the year 2000. This decrease follows national trends (and other communities across the State) which show decreases in average household size attributed to smaller family sizes, increases in life expectancy, and increases in single parent households. In total there were 3,271 housing units in the Village based on 2017 estimates; 3,151 occupied housing units plus an additional 120 vacant units. Of the occupied units, 2,207 (70%) are owner-occupied with the remaining 944 (29.9%) renter-occupied. Placement of future park and recreational facilities should consider where multi-family buildings are located or planned as these types of housing units generally lack access to green space and play equipment as compared to single-family lots.

School Enrollment

The Village is part of the Mukwonago Area School District. The public and private schools in Mukwonago are listed in Chapter 3. The 20152016 enrollment for the entire district was 4,872 students.

2.4 PHYSICAL CHARACTER AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES Lakes and Ponds

The Lower Phantom Lake abuts the western ends of the Village. Both Upper and Lower Phantom Lakes are significant entertainment and recreational

areas for residents for fishing, skiing, ice skating and other active recreational opportunities. There are several other lakes and ponds near the Village including Eagle Spring Lake, Mukwonago Park Pond, Wood Lake, Potters Lake and Lake Beulah. The Vernon Marsh, associated with the Fox River is located immediately north of the Village. The Fox River wetlands continue through the Village along the riverbanks. Mukwonago River State Natural Area is another large wetland that protects the pristine segment of the Mukwonago River. The wetlands associated with the Mukwonago River bisect the Village in a west to east direction.

Rivers and Streams

The Mukwonago River runs through the Village between Eagle Spring Lake and the Phantom Lakes. The River is identified as an exceptional resource water by the WDNR due to its cleanliness and ability to support many threatened and endangered species of fish and invertebrates and is considered a State Natural Area. The exceptional resource water length of the River is largely west of the Village. A second portion of the Mukwonago River flows from Lower Phantom Lake into the Fox River, in the northeast portion of the Village. This segment of the Mukwonago River is not as pristine as the segment that flows into Lower Phantom lake, but is just as important as the remainder of the Mukwonago River. Fish and mollusk diversity may be greater in the segment below the Phantom Lake dam. The Friends of the Mukwonago River is seeking to have the State reclassify this segment of river to reflect the importance and biological diversity that contribute to the entire system.

Natural Vegetation

The Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission has defined natural areas as tracts of land or water so minimally modified by human activity, or sufficiently recovered from the effects of such activity, that they contain intact native plant and animal communities believed to be representative of the landscape before European

CHAPTER 2: ABOUT: MUKWONAGO

settlement. These areas are classified into one of the following three categories: natural areas of statewide or greater significance (NA-1); natural areas of county wide or regional significance (NA2); or natural areas of local significance (NA-3). There are two natural areas within the Village:

◊ Lower Mukwonago River (NA-2): a stretch of river below the dam at Lower Phantom Lake that contains a large and diverse population of native fish species, including rare species such as the starhead topminnow, longear sunfish, pugnose shiner, least darter and lake chubsucker. ◊ Phantom Lake wetlands (NA-2): a deep and shallow marsh and sedge meadow bordering Lower Phantom Lake.

SEWRPC has identified primary environmental corridors as areas that are at least 400 acres in size, two miles in length and 200 feet in width. Secondary environmental corridors generally connect with the primary environmental corridors and are at least 100 acres in size and one mile in length. The majority of the primary environmental corridors within the study area are located adjacent to the water resources, including most of the Village frontage along Lower Phantom Lake, and the entire corridor of land adjacent to the Mukwonago River. Smaller pockets are dispersed throughout the northern portion of the Village. In total there are 568 acres of primary environmental corridor in the Village. A sizable portion of the Village’s primary environmental corridor acreage is located within public park and open space areas, with the remainder of the land under private ownership. Immediately to the north of the Village is a large area of primary environmental corridor within the 4,596-acre Vernon Wildlife Area, managed as a preserve and recreation area by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Here areas of marsh, flowage, river and lowland forest are easily accessible to Mukwonago residents for hunting, hiking, fishing and wildlife viewing.

A small area of secondary environmental corridor exists in the study area, totaling about one acre. This land adjoins a much larger corridor area in the adjacent Town of East Troy to the southeast. The preservation of these corridors is important and will maintain a high level of environmental quality in the study area, protect its natural beauty, and provide valuable recreation opportunities. In its Amendment to Planning Report No. 42: Natural Areas and Critical Species Habitat Protection and Management Plan for Southeastern Wisconsin (2010), SEWRPC lists the lower Mukwonago River and wetlands bordering Lower Phantom Lake as worth of preservation due to their high-quality natural areas and critical species habitat.

Wildlife

There is a wide variety of wildlife in Waukesha and Walworth counties, particularly due to the Mukwonago River, Fox River and Phantom Lake. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources maintains a Natural Heritage Inventory which locates and documents rare species and natural communities, including federal threatened and endangered species. A comprehensive list can be found through the WDNR’s Natural Heritage Inventory (http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/nhi/). The natural resources of the Village are many and varied and provide an attractive character to the Village and also the potential for varied recreation opportunities. Perhaps the greatest recreation potential for these environmental corridors will be as linear parks and trail corridors linking the Village’s recreation, employment, commercial and school sites.

VILLAGE OF MUKWONAGO || COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION PLAN

ABOUT: MUKWONAGO 2.5 EXISTING LAND USE AND ZONING According to the United States Census Bureau, the Village has a total area of 7.9 square miles of land and 0.21 square miles is water. Using 20112015 ACS estimates, the population density of Mukwonago is 947 inhabitants per square mile. Residential development is most dense surrounding S Rochester St at the center of the Village and to the east of Holz Pkwy/CTH NN. There are several additional residential sites scattered throughout the community. Business land uses are located primarily along N Rochester St (WIS 83) and Main St (CTH ES). There are several additional commercial sites scattered throughout the community. Industrial development has occurred along the railway line which runs north to south in the Village. Development has primarily been south of CTH ES. The cumulative effect of the existing land use patterns and roadway system divides the community into geographic neighborhoods and can limit access to recreation facilities. The primary barriers in Mukwonago include the Mukwonago River, the railroad, I-43, and WIS-83. Refer to Figure 2.1, the Village’s Zoning Map on the next page.

2.6 FUTURE LAND USE PLANS The future growth of the Village is guided by the Village’s 2009 Comprehensive Land Use Plan (updated in 2016). The current plan sets forth the desired development pattern for the Village over the comprehensive planning period. The plan also gives guidance to accommodate projected population, household, and employment growth; the infrastructure and institutions required to serve

residential, business, and industrial uses in the Village; and the Village’s agricultural and natural resource base. Refer to Figure 2.2. The 2016 update to the 2009 Comprehensive Land Use Plan identifies five key growth areas for the community which are described below and shown in Figures 2.3-2.7. The plan estimates that these five key growth areas represent at least 90% of the anticipated development or redevelopment over the next 20 years. North Key Area The North key Area is generally along WIS-83 north of CTH NN. This area includes land that is currently in the Town of Mukwonago, but will become part of the Village pursuant to a boundary agreement with the Town. Development in this scenario is focused along and near major transportation corridors (WIS-83 and CTH NN). New recommended land uses for this Key Area include historical residential in the northwest portion of the area and low density multi-family residential surrounding WIS-83 and behind the existing low intensity commercial/ business. Low density multi-family residential is also recommended at the intersection of CTHs EE and NN. The recommended land use map shows expansion of the existing park site located within the Fairwinds Subdivision. Northeast Key Area The Northeast Key Area is generally along CTHs ES and NN and includes land within the Village boundary and land immediately east of the Village within the Town of Vernon with strong potential of annexation to the Village. Most of the properties within this area are already developed but there are several properties with the possibility of development in the east (low, medium and high density multi-family), center (high density multifamily) and west (low and medium density multifamily) parts of the area. The plan recommends that the residential growth planned for the far east part of the area include dedication of land for active park and open space.

VILLAGE OF MUKWONAGO || COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION PLAN

ABOUT: MUKWONAGO South/Southeast Key Area The South/Southeast Key Area is generally south of I-43 along WIS-83 extending southward to CTH L and includes lands currently within the growth area of the Village, land that will be within Village borders pursuant to the boundary agreement with the Town of East Troy, lands within the Town of Vernon that may be annexed in the near future and land in the Town of Waterford within the Village’s extraterritorial planning area that may be annexed to the Village further in the future. The recommended future land use map shows new medium density multi-family residential in the west and high density multi-family residential in the northeast. No specific park and open space dedication is recommended. Southwest Key Area The Southwest Key Area is generally along I-43 between the Canadian National Rail Right-ofWay on the east and CTH ES on the west. This area includes land currently within the Village boundary and land that will be pursuant to the boundary agreement with the Town of East Troy. New low density multi-family residential is planned in the north and new medium density multi-family residential is planned in the west. The plan states that since the area planned for residential use is large, the Village may require dedication of land for park and open space use. There is land at the north end of this area that is owned by the Town of Mukwonago, but within the Village boundary. The property is recommended as open space/ recreational land use and the majority of the site is identified as environmentally sensitive.

Outside of these key areas there are several other planned residential areas on the future land use map: ◊ Low-density multi-family residential planned south of CTH L and east of WIS-83. ◊ Low-density multi-family residential planned south of Plank Rd and east of the rail line. ◊ Medium-density multi-family residential planned north of Veterans Way and west of the rail line. ◊ Medium-density multi-family residential planned south of Bayview Rd surrounding Main St.

In addition to the recommended parkland in key areas, linkages to existing Village neighborhoods, parks, and businesses via bicycle and recreational trails are necessary to expand connections to new and proposed park facilities.

South Main Street/River South Key Area The South Main Street/River South Key Area is located generally along Main St (CTH ES) south of the Mukwonago River. All of this area is currently in the Village. No additional parks or residential uses are recommended for this area.

PARK, OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION

CHAPTER 3: PARK, OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION

3.1 VILLAGE-OWNED FACILITIES & EXISTING RECREATION PROGRAMS The Committee of the Whole oversees the Village’s nine park facilities totaling 380.1 acres. The system is represented by seven types of parks: miniparks, neighborhood parks, community playfields, community parks, nature preserves, special purpose parks, and undeveloped lands. Refer to Appendix B for a description of the characteristics of each of these park classifications.

Miniwauken Park

Table 3.2 (page 29) lists each Village park, acreage, and amenities. The location of each park is shown on the Existing Parks and Trails map in Appendix C.

Village-Owned Facilities Rosewood Park (Fairwinds Subdivision) This is a 2.5-acre undeveloped park within the currently-under-development Fairwinds subdivision, north of Mukwonago High School. The land has been dedicated to the Village and will be developed into a neighborhood park, with intended future expansion. The Village plans to install a play structure in 2017 with a budget of $40,000. Field Park Located at the southwest corner of STH 83 and CTH NN, this 16.0-acre park is the Village’s primary community park, and is the site of numerous seasonal events every year. These events include a three-day exposition and carnival, four weekend Maxwell Street flea market events, and various other public celebrations. The park building is continuously reserved on weekends from spring through fall for family picnics, social gatherings, and municipal events; and the baseball field is the site of an organized summer league.

CHAPTER 4: ANALYSIS OF NEEDS & DEMANDS

ANALYSIS OF NEEDS & DEMANDS

VILLAGE OF MUKWONAGO || COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION PLAN

ANALYSIS OF NEEDS & DEMANDS This chapter presents an analysis of how well the Village’s existing park and recreational facilities satisfy current needs in the community. The adequacy of the Village’s existing park and recreation systems are evaluated using the following methods: ◊ Quantitative Analysis - a comparison of existing parkland acreage and population projections versus park and recreational facility service guidelines, including a review of the types and amount of parkland available to Village residents. ◊ Geographic Analysis - an analysis of the geographic distribution and accessibility of park facilities in the Village. ◊ Qualitative Analysis - a summary of public input regarding Village parks and recreational facilities gathered through the community survey. ◊ Regional & State Trends - a summary of the demand trends in recreational amenities at the county and state level.

4.1 QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS An analysis of existing recreational land area is provided to determine if the recreational needs of residents are being met. This analysis is limited to an evaluation of park land, and does not include off-road trails not located in parks. A loose target traditionally provided by National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) is 10.5 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents (0.5 acres for Mini-Parks, 2.0 acres for Neighborhood Parks, and 8.0 acres for Community Parks). For the purpose of calculating anticipated parkland demand in Mukwonago, a service level of 10.5 acres per 1,000 residents was assumed. Currently the Village is providing approximately 380 acres of developed and undeveloped parkland, not counting school facilities, county facilities or private facilities. Table 4.1 summarizes the current and projected supply and demand

Table 4.1 Total Developed & Undeveloped Park Acreage Surplus/Deficit

Total Developed & Undeveloped Park Acreage Surplus/Deficit (in acres) Year Population Total Supply (acres) Demand (10.5 acres/1,000) Surplus (10.5 acres/1,000)

2021 8,922 380.1 93.7 286.4

2026 2036 9,912 10,832 380.1 380.1 104.1 113.7 276.0 266.4

Table 4.2 Total Developed Park Acreage Surplus/Deficit

2016 7,772 182.5 81.6 100.9

2021 8,922 182.5 93.7 88.8

2026 2036 9,912 10,832 182.5 182.5 104.1 113.7 78.4 68.8

Table 4.3 Park Acreage Surplus/Deficit by Type

Park Acreage Surplus/Deficit by Type (in acres) Year 2016 2021 2026 2036 Population 7,772 8,922 9,912 10,832 Mini-Park Standard (0.5 acres/1,000) -3.3 -3.9 -4.4 -4.8 Neighborhood Playgrounds/Parks Standard (2.0 acres/1,000) -5.6 -7.9 -9.9 -11.8 Community Playfields/Parks Standard (8.0 acres/1,000) 268.5 259.3 251.4 244.0 Excluding undeveloped portion of Miniwaukan Park 105.0 95.8 87.9 80.5 Special Purpose Park No Standard Applicable Nature Preserve No Standard Applicable Undeveloped No Standard Applicable

for total parkland acreage based on Village population and a service level of 10.5 acres per 1,000 residents. Since approximately 52% of the parkland in Mukwonago is undeveloped or considered nature preserve, Table 4.2 summarizes current and projected supply and demand for only developed parkland. This table indicates that the Village is currently providing 23 acres per 1,000 residents

CHAPTER 4: ANALYSIS OF NEEDS & DEMANDS

and has a surplus of 100.9 acres of parkland. If no new parkland is added, by 2036 the Village will be providing 17 acres per 1,000 residents and have a surplus of 68.8 acres of developed parkland. Table 4.3 summarizes the current and projected supply and demand for parkland acreage by park types, using the traditional service guidelines provided by the NRPA. It should be noted that the information in Table 4.3 groups neighborhood playgrounds within the neighborhood parks classification and community playfields within the community park classification in order to provide comparisons with the NRPA guidelines. The information in Table 4.3 is based on the existing current status of parkland. Since only a portion of Miniwaukan Park is developed, under Community Playfields/Parks Table 4.3 shows one line including the undeveloped portion of Miniwaukan Park and one line excluding the park. Whether the undeveloped portion of Miniwaukan is included or excluded, the table shows a surplus of Community Playfields/Parks through 2036. The results from Table 4.3 indicate a current and future projected deficit for Mini-Parks and Neighborhood Playgrounds/Parks in Mukwonago. By the year 2036, Neighborhood Playgrounds/ Parks are projected to have a 11.8 acre deficit and Mini-Parks are projected to have a 4.8 acre deficit. Note: Mukwonago shows a projected surplus in total park acreage in Tables 4.1 and 4.2 but shows a projected deficit in Mini-Parks and Neighborhood Playgrounds/Parks through 2036 in Table 4.3. This is due to 202 acres of parkland being classified as Special Purpose Park, Nature Preserve, or Undeveloped (including the undeveloped portion of Miniwaukan), for which there is no applicable standard. While the Village is providing a net surplus of developed parkland, it is important to continue to plat new residential neighborhoods with dedicated public parks. These smaller

parks fill the deficit for neighborhoods parks and provide recreational opportunities for surrounding residents.

4.2 GEOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS The location of parks and open space facilities in relation to the Village’s residents is an important indicator of how well existing facilities are dispersed throughout the community. The National Recreation and Park Association advocates that all residents should live within a 1/4 to 1/2 mile of some type of public park or open space. The Park Service Areas map in Appendix C indicates areas of the Village that are not currently served by a Village park. The map also illustrates service areas based on park type, including 1.5-miles for community parks and 1/3-mile for all other park types. Areas currently zoned for neighborhood and urban residential uses that fall outside of these service areas are also highlighted. The map shows several deficiencies in the location of parkland in Mukwonago: ◊ A residential area in north Mukwonago that is south of the rail line and north of CTH ES is underserved by all park types with the exception of community parks. ◊ A residential area along Edgewood Ave is underserved by all park types with the exception of community parks. ◊ A residential area in south Mukwonago, located northwest of I-43 and south of Bay View Rd, is underserved by all park types with the exception that the northern part of the neighborhood is served by community parks. ◊ A residential area roughly bounded by Lake St and Atkinson St is underserved by all park types with the exception of community parks. ◊ A residential area east southeast of Mukwonago Union High School is underserved by all park types with the exception of community parks. ◊ Residential areas in north Mukwonago on either side of WIS 83 and north of CTH NN, are

VILLAGE OF MUKWONAGO || COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION PLAN

ANALYSIS OF NEEDS & DEMANDS underserved by all park types with the exception of community parks. ◊ Although the downtown appears well-served by all park types, there are no parks within easy walking distance of the downtown core. This area could be better served by a mini-park to support community events and serve as a general area of rest for shoppers.

Please view the “Park Service Areas” map found in Appendix C for these specific locations.

4.3 QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS As part of the update to this plan, the Village administered an online survey to gather residents’ opinion regarding Village Park facilities. The survey was well-promoted: a postcard advertising the survey was sent to every household in the Village; various civic groups emailed their membership; the School District emailed parents; the Village posted on their website and departmental social media accounts; plus other various direct emails from Village staff. In total 577 individuals started the survey and 493 individuals responded to questions through the end of the survey. Approximately 73% of those who took the survey live in Mukwonago. The following is a summary of responses to key questions. Refer to Appendix A for the complete results.

Bike/Pedestrian ◊ When asked where residents would prioritize the location of new bike facilities, routes or trail, common responses included to/from parks, connecting existing trails, along waterways, WIS 83, near the high school, CTH NN, Holz Parkway, loop around the Village, CTH ES and CTH LO. ◊ 84% of respondents walk for exercise at least one day per week. ◊ 40% of respondents would like to see offroad walking/biking trails added, improved or

expanded within the Village. ◊ 68% of respondents believe the Village should allocate additional funding on sidewalk facilities/ investment enhancements.

Parks/Open Space ◊ The favorite park for respondents to visit is Field Park (the second most favored park was Miniwaukan Park). ◊ 19% of respondents expressed concern over safety or accessibility in Village parks. Respondents primarily had concerns with Field and Miniwaukan Parks. Concerns with Field Park included aging playground equipment, entering and exiting the park, fencing around the park, garbage and graffiti. Concerns with Miniwaukan Park included people and cars in the park after it closes. ◊ 63% of respondents commonly drive somewhere outside of Mukwonago to use specific recreational facilities. Common responses of where included Lapham Peak, Kettle Moraine and Ice Age Trail for hiking and biking; Ottawa Lake for fishing and swimming; Malone Park in New Berlin for new playground equipment; Hartland for the splash pad; and various locations for golf/driving range. ◊ When asked which activities or facilities respondents or members of their household most commonly participate in, the top response was walking (78% of respondents). The second most common response was playground equipment (60%). ◊ When asked which amenities should be added, improved or expanded in the Village, the top responses included off-road biking/walking trails, beaches/lake access and an outdoor pool.

Recreation Programming ◊ 31% of respondents participated in Town of Mukwonago-sponsored recreation programs in the past year. Some respondents also noted that they do not participate in the Town’s programs because the non-resident fees are too expensive.

CHAPTER 4: ANALYSIS OF NEEDS & DEMANDS

◊ When asked what new type of recreation program or service the Village should consider offering, respondents said an outdoor pool; recreational programming for youth, adults and seniors; a splash pad; a public golf course; and an ice rink.

4.4 BIKING AND WALKING SUITABILITY ANALYSIS Connecting parks and recreational facilities to each other and the population is an important component of bicycle and pedestrian planning, and also park and open space planning. Barriers for bicycles and pedestrians include both a lack of facilities and unsafe facilities. Where sidewalks do not exist, it is difficult for pedestrians to access necessary services. Streets with heavy vehicle traffic, particularly those that are narrow, pose a danger to on-street cycling. Lack of safe pedestrian or bicycle crossings of busy streets also poses significant danger. As mentioned previously, according to survey results the most common destinations that need to be improved for bicycle or pedestrian safety include: ◊ WIS 83/Rochester Street ◊ CTH ES/Main Street ◊ Around High School and Middle School ◊ Intersection of CTH NN and CTH ES/Holz Parkway ◊ Intersection of WIS 83 and CTH ES ◊ Downtown area ◊ CTH NN ◊ Intersection of WIS 83 and Holz Parkway ◊ Around Field Park

Railroad tracks, rivers and creeks can also pose a barrier to bicycles and pedestrians. Separate bicycle and pedestrian crossing facilities are often not provided, and auto intersections can be difficult or dangerous on bike or on foot. The

railroad tracks in Mukwonago pose a northsouth barrier. The Mukwonago River provides an opportunity for trail facilities along the corridor, but also serves as an east-west barrier.

4.5 REGIONAL & STATE INSIGHTS Insights from the Wisconsin Statewide Outdoor Comprehensive Recreation Plan (SCORP), 2011-2016. The goals listed below are recommended by the Wisconsin SCORP to help provide Wisconsinites better access/awareness to outdoor recreation opportunities and to help improve public health and wellness. The SCORP projects demand for the recreation activities in the image below.

VILLAGE OF MUKWONAGO || COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION PLAN

ANALYSIS OF NEEDS & DEMANDS Public Access to Land and Water – One part of this goal is awareness; there is access to land and water, but many times people don’t know about it. Maps and signage that are easily readable would help increase public awareness. The other part of this goal can be realized by providing additional sites with access to the water for boating, fishing, and swimming. Promote Outdoor Recreation as a “Get Fit” Initiative – Educate the public about the health benefits of walking, biking, nature study, etc. and develop programming and recreation facilities with health agencies. Create Urban Parks and Community Green Space – Create connected urban parks and community green spaces to improve quality of life and increase opportunities for recreation in urban areas.

Insights from the Waukesha County Parks & Open Space Plan (POSP), 20082012.

To identify local trends in parks and recreation, Waukesha County conducted a public opinion survey as well as a focus group. Findings included: ◊ Respondents desired more park trails, reserved group picnic areas, archery ranges, swimming beaches, group camping, individual camping, playground equipment, boat launch facilities, bathrooms and fishing piers. ◊ A majority of respondents supported continued natural area and open space acquisition efforts and were not fully satisfied that key natural resources are being adequately protected.

The Plan also discusses accessibility considerations for recreation. According to the National Survey on Recreation and the Environment (NRSE), the top 15 recreation uses that were determined to have average to above average participation rates among mobility-disabled individuals included:

◊ Attending concerts ◊ Backpacking ◊ Bird watching, camping ◊ Canoeing ◊ Driving off-road ◊ Fishing ◊ Horseback riding ◊ Nature study ◊ Sightseeing ◊ Sledding ◊ Viewing fish ◊ Visiting historical/archeology sites ◊ Visiting nature centers ◊ Wildlife viewing

The top constraints to participation among mobility-disabled individuals included: ◊ No companions ◊ Outdoor pests ◊ Not enough money ◊ Personal health ◊ Not enough time

NRSE noted that these are the same barriers that non-disabled citizens typically experience. The plan also proposes a Mukwonago River Greenway and Trail. The greenway (approximately 19.2 acres) would stretch from Eagle Springs Lake to the confluence with the Fox River. Greenway acquisition would require State of Wisconsin and Village of Mukwonago cooperation along with various conservation oriented groups. The proposed eight-mile trail would run from Mukwonago Park on the west to joining the Muskego Lakes Trail in the Village of Mukwonago, south of I-43.

CHAPTER 4: ANALYSIS OF NEEDS & DEMANDS

GOALS, OBJECTIVES, POLICIES & PROGRAMS

VILLAGE OF MUKWONAGO || COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION PLAN

GOALS, OBJECTIVES, POLICIES & PROGRAMS This purpose of this plan is to guide development of subsequent parks, recreation, open space and bicycle and pedestrian facilities in Mukwonago. Goals and objectives are presented here as desired outcomes; objectives are added under a goal only when there is the need to describe multiple desired outcomes not adequately captured in the goal statement. Policies and programs include both actions and policy rules â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they are the methods proposed to achieve the goals and objectives.

5.1 GOALS, OBJECTIVES, POLICIES & PROGRAMS Goal 1 -Ensure provision and protection of sufficient parks, recreation facilities and open space areas to satisfy the health, safety, and welfare needs of citizens and visitors, including special groups such as the elderly, the disabled, and pre-school age children. Objective 1- To provide quality recreation and adequate open space lands and facilities for each neighborhood of the community. Objective 2- To provide coordination of public park and open space lands with other uses of land, in order that each may enhance the other and make possible the realization of the highest quality of life for people who live in the Mukwonago area. Objective 3- To provide a diversity of recreational opportunities so that residents of all ages and abilities have an equal opportunity to enjoy the park and open space system.

Policies 1. Maintain a level of service of at least 10.5 acres of developed parkland per 1,000 residents. 2. The type of park and open space facilities should be scaled to the needs of the area and population served, both present and future. 3. Whenever possible, all park sites and experiences will be made accessible to all potential users, in conformance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). 4. Parks should be designed to include a range of age appropriate playground equipment. For example, play equipment for children ages 6-23 months, 2-5 years, 5-12 years old and teenagers. Equipment should be properly signed to denote the intended age range of the equipment. 5. Whenever possible, parks and public areas will be linked to neighborhoods and each other by a system of non-motorized trails and path systems. 6. All parks should have multiple access points from surrounding neighborhoods. 7. Neighborhood parks should be sited and designed to enhance neighborhood cohesion and provide a common neighborhood gathering place. 8. Seek to ensure that all residential homes are within a 1/3-mile or less distance from some type of public park and open space facility. 9. Make every effort to repair, replace, or remove park facilities that become broken or otherwise become a safety hazard. Upon learning of any defective park facility the Village may post notice of a park closure or park facility closure until such time as corrective measures can be taken. 10. Active parklands in undeveloped areas should be acquired through land developer dedications where feasible.

CHAPTER 5: GOALS, OBJECTIVES, POLICIES & PROGRAMS

Goal 2 - Provide park and recreation space areas that preserve natural features and amenities. Objective 1- To preserve natural features and amenities and conserve natural resources for the benefit of the community and society as a whole. Policies 1. Preservation of environmental corridors, isolated natural areas, wetlands, and undeveloped floodplains in their natural state should receive special attention to ensure their maintenance as wildlife and fish habitats, as natural drainage areas, as areas for passive recreation and outdoor recreation, and as reservoirs, for sediment removal, where appropriate. 2. The Village should investigate all regulatory and acquisition tools available to preserve conservancy lands or other open space. 3. Conservancy lands, which can be adequately and appropriately protected without public expenditure, should be preserved. Public funds should be used to acquire conservancy lands that cannot be protected through other means, or where public access is a high priority. 4. Preserve the natural features and conserve natural resources associated with the Mukwonago River, Fox River and surrounding lakes for the benefit of the community.

Goal 3 - Adequately fund parks and open space areas. Objective 1- Maintain a park and open space system that is sustainable with respect to annual maintenance and operation costs and servicing capabilities of the community. Objective 2- Invest funds for the development of facilities that will maximize existing park and recreation areas, with the intention of increasing

COMPLYING WITH THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT The ADA, enacted in 1990, clearly states the right of equal access for persons to local government services, including parks. On September 15, 2010 the Department of Justice published revised final regulations implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act. The 2010 Standards included new provisions for accessible design for recreational facilities such as playgrounds, swimming pools, fishing and golf facilities. Similar to when the original 1991 ADA Standards were adopted for public buildings, a community is required to complete a self-evaluation of their recreational facilities for ADA compliance by March 15, 2012. Those communities with 50 or more full or parttime employees are also required to develop a Transition Plan, which identifies what corrective work will be completed, when it will be completed, and the individual responsible for the corrective work. Any new recreational facilities designed, constructed, or shaped after March 15, 2012 are subject to the 2010 Standards. Any alteration (not simple maintenance, but something that changes the way the site is used) must make the element altered accessible and must create an accessible path of travel through the site or facility to that element. There are some fundamental differences in how accessibility in the outdoors is accommodated compared to indoors or the built environment. While restrooms, shelters, interpretive centers, and parking lots, for example, need to follow detailed ADA guidelines, other improvements such as trails or swimming beach areas, for example, do not necessarily need to follow indoor or built environment ramp grades or surfacing requirements. A good rule of thumb for the Village to follow is that anything constructed must not make the outdoor experience anymore difficult than what occurs naturally. Mother Nature does not have to comply with ADA, but the Village does. The New England ADA Center is a good resource to use and offers checklists to evaluate accessibility at existing park facilities. The fillable checklist forms can be found here: http://www.adachecklist.org/ checklist.html#rec

park use. Objective 3- Continue funding to allow for future parkland acquisition and new facility development.

3. School lands and facilities will be used for park and recreational purposes where appropriate and feasible.

Policies

4. Update the Village Park and Open Space plan every five years and solicit input from Village residents.

1. Maintain a capital improvement plan to replace worn or damaged recreational equipment and facilities. Use this plan to establish future capital improvement plans and annual budgets. 2. Take into consideration long-range maintenance and operations costs at the time new parklands are acquired through land dedications or other means.

5. Coordinate subdivision review with all departments responsible for providing or maintaining adequate park facilities.

3. Pursue grant funding from state, federal, recreation associations, or corporations which can aid in the purchase and/or development of desired park system improvements. 4. Require new developments to provide land or fees-in-lieu-of land dedication sufficient to meet the parkland needs generated by such development, based on Mukwonagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adopted parkland acreage policy (see Goal #1, Policy #1).

Goal 4 -Utilize input and resources from the public, organizations and other agencies in the planning, development and operation of the park system. Objective 1- Coordinate park activities/facilities with civic, private, Village, County and State agencies and organizations to complement offerings without unnecessary duplication. Policies 1. Park development should be planned to avoid creating nuisance situations between neighbors and park users. 2. Particular attention should be given to coordination of land acquisition, land use control and planning programs of all federal, state,

CHAPTER 5: GOALS, OBJECTIVES, POLICIES & PROGRAMS

RECOMMENDATIONS

VILLAGE OF MUKWONAGO || COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION PLAN

RECOMMENDATIONS The quantitative, qualitative, and geographic analysis discussed in Chapter 4 reveals the need for improvements to existing facilities, as well as the acquisition and development of new sites for future recreational use. It should be noted that some of the recommendations may require considerable cooperation with others, including the citizens of Mukwonago, local civic and business associations, neighboring municipalities, Waukesha and Walworth Counties, and State agencies. In nearly every case, more detailed planning, engineering, study, budgeting, and/ or discussion will be necessary before decisions are made to actually acquire land or construct recreational facilities. The recommendations of this plan are divided into five major sections: (1) existing park facilities; (2) new park facilities; (3) trail improvements; (4) privately owned parks; and (5) miscellaneous recommendations. Many of the specific recommendations discussed in each section are identified on the Proposed Parks and Open Space map or the Proposed Bike and Pedestrian Facilities map. Acquisition projects will be implemented through donation, dedication, purchase, or a combination thereof. The timeline for completion of the recommendations is within the next five years, or the life of this plan unless otherwise noted. Due to budgetary constraints it is unlikely that all of the recommendations within this chapter will be implemented in the next five years. Maintenance and improvement projects will be prioritized on an annual basis by the Village staff team in Mukwonago in conjunction with the community’s Committee of the Whole as part of the Village’s annual budget. Many of the recommendations regarding locating new park facilities will be coordinated with the annexation, attachment through cooperative boundary agreement or approval of development proposals; therefore, the timing is much more variable.

6.1 EXISTING PARK FACILITIES The following is a bulleted list of recommendations for improvements to existing parks. Some of the recommendations identified within this section are remnants from the 2004 Mukwonago CORP. These recommendations have been highlighted (*) where they occur.

6.2 NEW PARK FACILITIES The Village should develop new park and recreational facilities in areas that are underserved by existing facilities, where future residential expansion is expected to occur, or where the acquisition of park and open space will advance the goals and policies of this plan or the Mukwonago Comprehensive Plan. The Potential Parks and Recreation Map in Appendix C identifies the general location for potential new or expanded park facilities, based in-part on the Mukwonago Comprehensive Plan Update (see Future Land Use Map in Section 2.6).

These are generalized locations used for planning purposes only. Site A is River Park Estates, an existing subdivision that is underserved by all park types, with the exception of Community Parks. Following the current dedication requirement, at approximately 185 acres, River Park Estates would require 39 acres of parkland. The current undeveloped open space to the north owned by the homeowners association is approximately 37 acres. The existing 2 acre deficiency should be considered when future parks are developed. There are approximately 30 acres directly west of River Park Estates designated as Small Lot Single Family (10,000 - 12,000 Sq. Ft.). Assuming 12,000 Sq. Ft. lots and using the Villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requirement of one acre of parkland dedicated per 15 dwelling units, approximately 7.3 acres of parkland should be dedicated for this new residential area. This area is located adjacent to Vernon Marsh which offers birding, boating, canoeing, cross country skiing, dog trial grounds, hiking, snowmobiling, trapping, wild edibles, wildlife viewing, fishing and hunting. This park could also be coordinated with the nearby St. James park area, to develop a more expansive feeling open space while retaining private ownership of the St. James property. The River Park Estates neighborhood is also approximately 1.0 - 1.5 miles from Clarendon Avenue Elementary School and Park View Middle School which together offer a hard surfaced play area with extensive play structures and swings, a running track, football field, soccer field, two basketball courts, baseball and softball diamonds. However, school park hours are limited due to school hours and facilities and maintenance are the responsibility of the Mukwonago Area School District, not the Village directly. The distance of residences within the River Park Estates to the school parks heightens the need for additional park space within the neighborhood for general play facilities. A neighborhood park that serves the River Park Estates subdivision should include facilities such as athletic facilities, play equipment, shelter facilities, grills, lighting, and toilet facilities. A walking path could also be developed from the neighborhood through the environmental corridor

CHAPTER 6: RECOMMENDATIONS

located to the north along the Fox River. Site B (approximately 25 acres) is owned by the Town of Mukwonago, but is recommended as park land in the Comprehensive Plan update (2016). This potential park site is currently southeast of the Mukwonago Estates Subdivision, which has privately-owned parkland, but no current park facilities. The subdivision is currently underserved by Village Parks as shown on the Park Service Areas map in Appendix C. The new park should be a neighborhood park with areas of nature preserve as indicated in the future land use in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan update. The park should offer playground equipment, shelter facilities, grills, sport court(s) (e.g. basketball, tennis, volleyball), lighting, and toilet facilities. If the privately-owned parkland is ever developed, the Village should ensure that the Village’s park facilities do not duplicate what is offered within the subdivision. Site C is in an area that is underserved by all Village parks with the exception of Community Parks. The Comprehensive Plan update also designates additional residential (Small Lot Single Family (10,000 - 12,000 Sq. Ft.) and Medium Lot Single Family II (15,000 Sq. Ft). The new park should be a neighborhood park. Like Site B, the new park should offer playground equipment, shelter facilities, grills, sport court(s) (e.g. basketball, tennis, volleyball), lighting, and toilet facilities. Site D (5.7 acres) is an expansion of Rosewood Park as recommended in the Comprehensive Plan update (2016). This additional parkland will serve the area designated for residential to the north, northwest and west of Fairwinds Subdivision. Currently, approximately 100 of these acres are within Village limits. Rosewood Park is currently 2.5 acres. Using the Village’s requirement of one acre of parkland dedicated per 15 dwelling units and the designation of this area as Medium Lot Single Family II (15,000 Sq. Ft. lot size) in the future land use map, this 100 acre residential area will include approximately 290 dwelling units. This calculation indicates that an additional ~19 acres of parkland dedication may be required. It is recommended that the Village only increase Rosewood Park’s

size by 7.5 acres and require fee in lieu of land dedication for the remainder of Rosewood Park to make improvements that would benefit the neighborhoods. Site D is a potential location for larger facilities not included in the initial development of Rosewood Park, such as multipurpose greenspace (soccer field, football field, la crosse field, etc.), basketball court or a splash pad, and extension of a walking path. Facilities at this park should not duplicate those found at Field Park (e.g. baseball/softball facilities, tennis/ pickleball court). Site E is in an area that is underserved by all Village parks with the exception of Community Parks. The current (and planned) land use for this area is commercial to the north and residential to the south. If new neighborhood park dedication is not viable, this area could be served by park facilities at nearby Clarendon Avenue Elementary School. As new park lands are dedicated to the Village, individual park master plans should be developed in order to guide the installation of park facilities. All individual park master plans of the Village should be adopted as appendices to this plan in order to maintain eligibility for state and federal park and recreational grants.

6.3 TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS Some of the trail, bicycle lane and intersection improvement recommendations identified within this section are remnants from the 2004 CORP. These recommendations have been highlighted (*) where they occur. A map of the proposed routes and intersection improvements can be found in Appendix C. Specific bike/walk trail development recommendations for the plan include: A. CTH NN between WIS 83 and Perkins Drive B. CTH ES between Holz Pkwy and WIS 83 C. WIS 83 between CTH NN and Front St.

VILLAGE OF MUKWONAGO || COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION PLAN

RECOMMENDATIONS D. CTH ES/Main Street between WIS 83 and MacIntosh Way E. Bayview Rd between CTH ES and WIS 83 F. Eagle Lake Ave between Minor Park and WIS 83 G. CTH NN between Pinehurst Drive and CTH II H. CTH I between CTH NN and CTH LO I. CTH LO between CTH I and Brockway Dr J. River Trail along Mukwonago River from northeast Miniwaukan Park to Lower Phantom Lake K. CTH ES to River Park Estates

Recommendations for intersection improvements include: 1. CTH NN and WIS 83: further enhancement to crosswalk (colored/textured surfaces, curb extension) 2. CTH ES and WIS 83: further enhancement to crosswalk (colored/textured surfaces, curb extension) 3. WIS 83 and Holz Pkwy: further enhancement to crosswalk (colored/textured surfaces, curb extension) 4. CTH ES and Holz Pkwy: enhanced crosswalk (colored/textured surfaces, driver warning lights and/or signage, timed pedestrian signals)

Other trail improvements include: ◊ Implement a wayfinding signage program for Village trail system. ◊ Implement a cohesive signage program for Village Park entrances and ensure that all parks are signed. ◊ Add a kiosk to all parks that shows park system map with park amenities.

from privately owned parks. Given the Village’s limited maintenance funds, the Village should carefully consider any transfers of ownership of parkland. However, if the park needs capital improvements to mitigate safety hazards, the Village should consider this a case where the it needs to take over ownership. If there are many privately-owned parks that are not being properly maintained and/or being offered in a transfer of ownership to the Village, the Village should consider foregoing it’s current land dedication requirement (1 acre per 15 dwelling units) in favor of the fee-in-lieu of land dedication in more instances. If the Village does this, it should be sure that any fee-in-lieu of funds are used to improve nearby existing parks that will benefit the new neighborhood.

6.5 OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS Some of the recommendations identified within this section are remnants from the 2004 CORP. These recommendations have been highlighted (*) where they occur. Other community-specific recommendations include the following: 1. *Develop and approve municipal ordinance aimed at goose mitigation. 2. Improve parks website - add more pictures, overall map of park facilities. 3. Create a Village Parks Facebook page. This page could provide residents with upcoming events, temporary closings or new developments. 4. Continue to plan for costs associated with treatment, removal and replacement of Ash trees in village parks and street terraces.

6.4 PRIVATELY-OWNED PARKS The Village is often offered a transfer of ownership

CHAPTER 6: RECOMMENDATIONS

IMPLEMENTATION

VILLAGE OF MUKWONAGO || COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION PLAN

IMPLEMENTATION This chapter summarizes tools and mechanisms that the Village can use to fund implementation of the park and open space recommendations discussed in Chapter 6, plan adoption and plan amendments.

7.1 TOOLS AND MECHANISMS TO FUND IMPLEMENTATION Maintenance and operational expenses of the Village’s Parks Department are generally funded through property taxes and user fees. As the park system grows the need to increase funding to meet the basic maintenance and operational costs also grows. Often there are insufficient funds to undertake major capital improvement projects. There are a wide variety of potential funding sources to assist with up-front capital costs, including acquisition of land and the development of new recreational facilities.

Grant Programs

An important source of funding is grant programs offered by state and federal agencies, especially the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Table 7.1 provides a summary of common state and federal park and recreation grant programs. The table is not an exhaustive list of grant programs, rather those that are typically used by municipalities. Other grant programs may exist and information regarding funding details shown in Table 7.1 should be verified with grant providers prior to seeking grant funding. A new 5-year transportation program, Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, was approved (in 2015) by President Obama and is authorized from October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2020. This Act is administered by the Federal Highway Administration. The FAST Act includes a set aside for pedestrian and bicycle facilities, recreational trails, safe routes to school projects, community improvements such as historic

preservation and vegetation management, and environmental mitigation related to stormwater and habitat connectivity.

Community Fund-raising & Volunteer Groups Community groups and civic organizations are sometimes willing to organize fundraising efforts to assist with these costs, and they may also be able to marshal volunteer labor to assist with small development projects such as trail creation or playground installations. Local business and corporate support should also be sought. Both non-profit and for-profit organizations can be rewarded for their support with acknowledgment on a plaque or sign at the site.

501(c)3 Foundation

The Village can set up an endowment fund as an additional means of providing continual financial support for park acquisition and development. An endowment fund works like a permanent savings account. The amount individuals give, which is the principal, is never spent. Only the interest income is spent, thereby providing a continual source of monies. A park endowment fund can provide a means for residents to either bequeath money or provide ongoing donations to the Village’s park system, with the certainty that the money donated will only be used for the advancement of recreation in the community. Gifts to an endowment fund are typically tax deductible under federal and state law.

Tax Increment Financing (TIF)

As part of a broader plan to redevelop an area, the Village can use tax increment financing to assist with parkland or trail acquisition and development. There are some limitations to what revenues from a TIF district can be used to pay for; generally the costs of constructing public buildings cannot be funded with TIF.

These goals are achieved by acquiring land and easements for conservation and recreation purposes, developing and improving recreational facilities, and restoring wildlife habitat. This is an umbrella program that funds the following grants: Aids for the Acquisition and Development of Local Parks (ADLP)  Helps to buy land or easements and develop or renovate local park and recreation area facilities for nature‐based outdoor recreation purposed (e.g., trails, fishing access, and park support facilities). Urban Green Space (UGS)  Helps to buy land or easements in urban or urbanizing area to preserve the scenic and ecological values of natural open spaces for nature‐based outdoor recreation, including non‐commercial gardening. Urban Rivers (UR)  Helps to buy land on or adjacent to river flowing through urban or urbanizing areas to preserve or restore the scenic and environmental values of riverways for nature‐ based outdoor recreation. Acquisition of Development Rights Grants (ADR)  Helps to buy development rights (easements) for the protection of natural, agricultural, or forestry values, that would enhance nature‐based outdoor recreation.

The Village currently has two active TIF Districts. TID #3 (The Gateway District) and TID #4. TIDs are generally created for the purpose of stimulating redevelopment and new public and private investments. Tax increment could be used for land acquisition and site development, but could not be used for construction of park shelters. Under state statute 66.1105 a municipality can use tax increment to complete public improvements within a 0.5-mile radius of the TID, so long as the use of the funds supports and benefits the TID. Therefore it may be possible for the Village to use TIF increment to pay for trail improvement projects near current TIDs or if it were to create any TIDs in the future.

Transportation improvement program (TIP) Mukwonago should work with the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC) and WisDOT to include major recommendations of this Plan in annual updates of the Transportation Improvement Program, to

facilitate access to federal and state funding support. In particular, the communities should request that “first priority” projects get included in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).

Parkland Dedication and Impact Fees

The Village’s Municipal Code includes regulations regarding parkland dedication requirements. Within the corporate limits of the Village, subdividers are required to dedicate sufficient land to provide park, recreation, and general open space to meet the anticipated neighborhood needs of residential and development areas, as such park development is determined necessary or desirable by this plan. Parkland Dedication Section Sec. 45-14(b)1 - parkland dedication, requires 1 acre per 15 dwelling units. Using the average persons per household value of 2.44 (2015) from 2011-2015 American Community Survey (ACS) data, this translates to approximately 27.3 acres per 1,000 residents. As noted in Chapter 4, the village is currently providing 23 acres per

CHAPTER 7: IMPLEMENTATION

1,000 residents. If the Village followed the minimum service level policy provided by the NRPA, then they would only need 0.38 acres per 15 dwelling units. Fees in Lieu If parkland dedication is not possible, at the sole discretion of the Village Board a subdivider may satisfy the requirement for provisions of such park, recreation and general open space by payment of a fee in lieu of land. These fees are collected and used for purchase, development, improvement and maintenance of parks, playgrounds, open spaces and other recreational sites and facilities. Payments are required before the plat is submitted for final approval. The schedule for fees in lieu of dedication in 2016 were as follows: ◊ $600 per single-family unit ◊ $600 per two-family unit ◊ $480 per apartment building, connected row houses or condo units of 3-7 units ◊ $450 per apartment building, connected row houses or condo units of 8 or more units

Comparable communities

Table 7.2 compares Mukwonago’s land dedication, fees in lieu and park impact fees to comparable neighboring communities. When looking at Fees in Lieu in nearby communities, Mukwonago’s fees are more than the City of Elkhorn and less than the City of Delavan. The land dedication requirement for residential development in Mukwonago is calculated as acreage per 15 dwelling units. The Village of Pewaukee’s land dedication requirement is determined by the Village Assessor and the Cities of Elkhorn and Delavan calculate requirements based on acres per dwelling unit. If calculated on a per dwelling unit basis, Mukwonago requires 0.07 acres per dwelling unit. This is higher than the City of Delavan (0.03 acres) but lower than the City of Elkhorn (0.24 acres).

Mukwonago’s fees in lieu of land dedication should be updated annually based on the average assessed value per acre of undeveloped property within the Village, as determined by the Village assessor. With this approach, the fee for single-family units should be 100% of the average assessed value per acre and the fee for each multi-family unit should be two-thirds (2/3) of the average assessed value per acre. This methodology will keep fees up-to-date based on market conditions. Impact Fees In addition, at the time building permits are issued for new construction of single-unit or multifamily residential units, a one-time fee is assessed and paid as a special charge (impact fee) for parkland development. This fee does not apply to commercial/industrial properties. Currently the Village assesses a fee of $942 per dwelling unit.

7.2 PLAN ADOPTION & AMENDMENTS This plan is adopted as a component of the Village Comprehensive Plan. As such, procedures for adoption of this plan, and future amendments, shall follow those procedures enumerated under sec. 66.1001 Wis. Stats. for comprehensive plan adoption. Those procedures are highlighted below: Committee of the Whole Recommendation The Village’s Committee of the Whole shall meet to

13 92 9,897

review the plan and pass a motion to recommend approval of the plan or plan amendment. Public Hearing Prior to adopting this plan, or plan amendment, the Village could hold a public hearing to discuss the proposed plan or plan amendment; however this is not required since the plan is not being adopted as a component of the Village Comprehensive Plan. The meeting notice should provide a method for submitting written comments, and those comments should be read or summarized at the public hearing. The public hearing may be held by either the Committee of the Whole or Village Board.

CHAPTER 7: IMPLEMENTATION

Plan Adoption This plan and any future amendments become official Village policy when the Village Board passes, by a majority vote of all elected members, an adoption ordinance. The Village Board may choose to revise the plan after it has been recommended by the Committee of the Whole, and after the public hearing (optional). Plan Amendment vs. Plan Update Amendments can be made at any time, but the Village should not amend the plan more than once per year. A common recommended approach is to establish a consistent annual schedule for consideration of minor plan amendments. This plan should be updated every five years in order to maintain eligibility for Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Stewardship Funding. Unlike an amendment, a plan update should revisit the entirety of the plan content and include more robust opportunities for public participation.

7.3 PRIORITY IMPROVEMENTS The Committee of the Whole has prioritized the recommendations for each existing park in Mukwonago. Table 7.3 lists these priority improvements which Mukwonago wishes to accomplish between 2018 and 2022 along with estimated costs to be used for budgeting purposes.

SURVEY SUMMARY

APPENDIX A: SURVEY SUMMARY

A-1

COMMUNITY SURVEY RESULTS

To encourage public involvement in the Mukwonago Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan, the project team created an online public opinion survey. The survey was available April 17 through May 12, 2017 and hosted on Survey Monkey. Hard copies were also available at Village Hall and the Library In total, 577 individuals started the survey and 493 individuals responded to questions through the end of the survey. Approximately 73% of those who took the survey live in Mukwonago. The remainder were primarily from the Town of Mukwonago and other surrounding towns (Vernon and East Troy). The survey represents a diverse group demographically, though certain groups were under- and over-represented. Generally younger members of the community were under-represented and those categorized as middle-age were over-represented. For instance, those under 18 represented 0.7% of survey respondents but make up 24.9% of Mukwonago. Those age 35-44 represented 32.2% of survey respondents but only make up 17.7% of the population in Mukwonago. The figure depicting respondents’ answers to their corresponding age group compared to 2010 Census data is shown under question 1 on page A-3. Responses were filtered by community of residence to identify any differences between the views of Mukwonago residents only and all survey respondents. Results did not vary much, if any. The following are of note: ◊ Question 8: Only 18% of Village resident respondents noted they have to drive to the nearest park or trail (vs. 29% in overall survey) ◊ Question 10: Top 10 amenities Village residents wish could be added to existing parks are the same as the overall survey. *A comprehensive list of open-ended questions and comments is on file with the Village. Questions with additional comments/ open-ended responses will be marked with an asterisk (e.g. Q2*).

I would be afraid to cross the street at that intersection. ◊ Cars southbound on 83 making right turn onto ES sometimes can’t see pedestrians crossing the road--vision blocked by cars in the left southbound lane due to the angle of the street/intersection. Also cars don’t always stop for pedestrians in crosswalks on 83. ◊ Bay View Road & Mukwonago needs marked

Pedestrian crosswalk. Crosswalk and Stop lights desperately needed at Hwy. 83 & Wolf Run Road. ◊ The Bike Trail Bridges on LO going West from Minors could be improved. Sidewalks or Bike Trail on South side of NN from High School to 83. ◊ Around field park ◊ All of Hwy 83 within the “Main Street” from ES to NN ◊ The bypass between ES and where the trail leaves off further south. ◊ Eagle lake street west of Rochester st ◊ That whole downtown crazy intersection is not only hard for motorists, but walkin or biking through that intersection is taking your life into your hands. ◊ River park estates ◊ To and from Walmart, to/ from downtown ◊ Corner of Holz Parkway and Hwy 83 ◊ downtown ◊ ES to Holz Parkway/Hwy NN ◊ Mukwonago high school ◊ National and Edgewood ◊ Crossing SR 83 within the Village ◊ On HWY ES from the old sentry to Oakland Ave and also on the by pass from ES to I think it’s Small Rd. ◊ “Hwy ES between Fox ct and Oakland ◊ Hwy 83 overpass between Walmart and the Bypass ◊ Holtz PKWY ◊ Perkins DR” ◊ ES bridge ◊ All of the facilities seem fine to me. ◊ High school to Field park ◊ The corner at Field Park/ Park View middle school is still challenging for pedestrians (distracted drivers). ◊ None ◊ “the intersection of Edgewood and Highway ES”

◊ Near the high school and field park. ◊ Sidewalk is needed on the south side of Hwy NN, from Hwy 83 to the high school. Kids have to walk in the street or on the lawns. ◊ Would love a pedestrian bridge on Plank rd b/t the village and Miniwaukan Park (over the railroad). ◊ Roadside bike paths are needed ◊ Anywhere along busy areas on hwy 83 or Rochester street ◊ HWY 83 and HWY NN as well as ES ◊ Holz Pkwy from National to Perkins. ◊ On Hwy ES/Fox St between Holz Pkwy and Maple St. ◊ Two Rivers Sub Division. It has no access to any parks for young children without having to cross a major road without traffic lights. Unacceptable. ◊ The downtown area ◊ Connecting the bypass to the village along ES and the Fox River View Sub-division ◊ outskirts - sidewalks are not level ◊ Field Park ◊ NA ◊ Highway NN past the Highschool. ◊ Hwy nn (national ave) ◊ Miniwauken ◊ Lauren Park ◊ high school along NN to 83 ◊ ES from business park to village ◊ Hey 83 in the village & NN from 83 all the way past the high school. ◊ River Park area to downtown (ES) ◊ Downtown area (if you call it that) ◊ The intersection of Hwy J and ES by the Elegant farmer. The side walk ends past the orchards subdivision - given how busy ES is, it would be great to have a safer

route to cross the busy street. ◊ Intersection of NN/ES. ◊ Hwy NN needs bike trail lengthened all the way to Sprague Rd to give children in MASD an opportunity to bike to PVMS/MHS ◊ Hwy 83 ◊ Along Hwy NN past the Legion Hall, also ES past the old Sentry store ◊ North end of town field park, pick n save, Park View. And getting from the village across 43 to Aldi etc. ◊ Intersection by fire station -ES and NN ◊ Hwy 83 by Both Aldi & BP ◊ Field park ◊ Mukwonago is not very bike friendly at all. ◊ The intersection of NN & ES entering into the Holtz Parkway. River Park subdivision residents utilize the Holtz parkway for marked mileage walks/ bike rides and park and river/lake accesss. At the suggested intersection, up to the first cross street, is unprotected roadway for walkers and cyclists. The sidewalk then begins through the parkway, which is helpful. However, at the entryway, the curve in the road and 45 mph speed makes it quite risky especially because the ditch is steep and filled with brush on one side. Because of this, there is limited space to walk further from the road and nearly impossible for cyclists to avoid less than careful drivers. It would be nice to have something put in place, without creating too much upset to the existing layout. ◊ biking on roads is dangerous (i.e. CR I). it’d be great to have a bike loop/median to ride ◊ NN from where it connects with ES west to Hwy

HWY NN is too busy and fast for bikers and walkers. ◊ National Ave ◊ All in town as driving through it on bike is dangerous. bad sidewalks and blind spots. ◊ HY NN (Veterans Way) ◊ Along ES, it would be nice to be able to walk/bike from the Vernob area/ Hidden Lakes subdivision to Miniwauken Park and the trail along the bypass. ◊ Hwy ES near Oakland Ave needs sidewalks. Hwy NN near the train tracks. ◊ Hwy NN west of Hwy 83past the high school ◊ County Road I between NN and J ◊ Please consider connecting the path from Holz Parkway up to National. Also, there is no pediatritrian walk signals at that corner at the light. In addition, please consider connecting the path on LO to HWY 83. It stops abruptly right after the baseball park. Another safety concern is at the railroad tracks by Claredon. There needs to be a sign by the pedistrian paths that this is a railroad crossing since the gate does not go down in front of the path. I think this is HIGH priority, since there are many children who walk this path since the schools are within 1/4 of a mile.

◊ None that I can think of. ◊ Area in village on ES from McKenzie Rd heading north towards the fire station. We need a sidewalk!

Or walk through town as well. ◊ Along ES ◊ There needs to be a four way stop on the corner of Pearl and Grand Ave. ◊ Bypass ◊ Bike paths to the elementary school and middle school.

Veterans Way west of 83, Highway 83 north and south of the Village, Highway LO west of 83 to the park and then out to Rainbow Springs (I know that it’t not all Village but what a great opportunity to do a cooperative project with the Town of Mukwonago and the state. Same with Highway NN west of MHS, need bike trail to Eagle.

Outdoor pool would be great with an annual fee to pay for it. ◊ Has the most public access playground equipment that we know of. We’re new to the area. ◊ I really do not like the parks in Mukwonago. They are out dated and most have “dirty/filthy” sand. We usually leave Mukwonago and use the parks in other surrounding areas. I would love to see an update to Field Park--I feel this is the central part of Mukwonago. It would be nice to have some new basketball courts and tennis courts, better parking as well as new playground equipment with wood chips or even better the soft/foam. The bathrooms are beautiful, but the rest looks kind of “dumpy”. ◊ Most going on in the summer. ◊ We live in the subdivision so it is very close to walk to. ◊ Access. ◊ Dog park ◊ The big area to walk around on and the big oak trees ◊ Kid and family friendly ◊ Playground, nice walking path, disc golf ◊ It is close and offers several family activities. ◊ Kids soccer club plays there--also swimming at Indianhead park, but need to take care of goose dung ◊ Close by our home ◊ Large park...lots of wasted space though...should be a destination park for many activities.

Been here 13 years and still no park. ◊ Great activities all summer ◊ No traffic (limited) best (yet dated) playground equipment. ◊ If this was completed it would be my favorite but we have been waiting for awhile now ◊ Closest one.

Bike paths or sidewalks do not lead from the village to the park. Also Indian Head Park. Park on the river often is unsafe in the summer as the beach is used by geese and dogs. In fact, dogs have knocked my grandchildren down once in the water. Please ban dogs on the beach. ◊ My child is 1 year old. This as many others do not have equipment for their age. It’s hard to find plagrounds for this age group. Bathrooms. There isn’t anyone. ◊ At Miniwaukan Park numerous people do not have there dogs leashed. Is not a problem if dog is under control, but some aren’t. Makes it difficult for people who walk with their dogs on a leash. Ev-

eryone needs to pickup after their dog. ◊ Just, think some of the equipment could be newer. ◊ Field Park has so much potential. Would love to see an updated/larger play ground and a splash pad would be an excellent addition. A indoor or outdoor pool would be nice as well. It would be nice to utilize our community instead of having to drive to Milwaukee to use a pool or splash pad. ◊ Last year I saw dozens of bottle tops on the ground in the picnic area of Miniwaukan, which can cut the feet of barefoot children or pets. Please make sure there are plenty of trash receptacles that are easily accessible. I think the trash cans were all by the parking area. ◊ Field park the equipment is old ◊ Sometimes when I am walking there is no one in the park and I feel isolated. This is the park south of Minor’s Homestead on LO. ◊ All of them could use some updating. We have 7 grandchildren under the age of 12 and 2 of them have special needs so we visit the different parks but none of them are an Inclusive Playground so we very rarely take the 2 grandchildren with special needs to the park none work for them. They can just sit and watch when we do take them. ◊ Readily available emergency phones are always good. ◊ “No accidents happen and people need to used common sense ◊ and tKe responsibility for their actions it they get hurt “ ◊ It’s more about getting to

Walking path. ◊ Trying to get in and out of field park for events is a safety concern...no easy way for traffic to enter and exit. ◊ I often wish there was a little more police presence in the Miniwaukan Park parking lot. I see a lot of people smoking in their cars. ◊ What’s the purpose of the fence all the way around field park? Maybe along the busy streets, but the rest seems like a waste of money. ◊ No lifeguards at the beach in Mukwonago Park. ◊ “My son broke his arm falling from the zip line structure at Field Park. Not that it should be taken down, unless more kids have had injuries from it. I do know that a lot of the kids like this part of the playground. My son will not be playing on that one for a while.

◊ Lighting in some parks ◊ Indianhead Park is run down, I’d like to visit more often, but the shoreline needs to be cleaned up and there is concerns about the parking area. ◊ I teach and I don’t see any playground equipment for disabled/handicap children ◊ I worry about the safety of Miniwauken Park being so close to disc golf. I have read in the Chief that young people use the term disc golf for buying and selling drugs. ◊ One of these days we are going to need a pedestrian bridge to Field Park across NN, especially during Maxwell St. days. ◊ No, but I am not physically challenged so I am not aware of accessibility ◊ I have found condoms around the play area at field park and lots of litter etc. I think that a lot of teens go there at night so maybe have more checks throughout the night from local law enforcement. ◊ Driving into Field Park and parking along the access road to go to the playground isn’t ideal. It would be nice if there was specific parking near there, but not right along where the playground is (especially with making a U-turn to get out to 83 again). ◊ Lack of side walks to get to beach safely. So many areas in and around town that don’t connect side walks or bike paths that just end at busy traffic areas where it’s not safe to continue so we don’t even bother to use them, we have to drive our kids everywhere. Doesn’t promote healthy extersize for people and uses more fossil fuels. We need to get everyone outside

especially our children and get them more social in the neighborhoods and of the video games. Right now there is no reason for them to want to get off them because there’s nothing fun close by they can go to play. It’s a shame that we don’t focus on that more in our community since if is so rich with outdoor natural resources. ◊ Most aren’t accessible without having to drive. Kids don’t have ways to get there without going on the gravel along busy roads with curves and blind spots. ◊ Not many of our playground equipment is handicap accessable ◊ traveling by bike or foot not safe for all parks, no sidewalks and not crosswalks ◊ Even walking to Field Park has its challenges. Intersection of 83 and NN is potentially dangerous on foot. There’s a lack of onsite parking too. ◊ Crossing 83 to get to Field Park, Crossing National to get to Miniwaukan. ◊ Difficult to turn into Field Park from either entrance due to high traffic. ◊ A lot of cars drive (and park) in Miniwaukan Park after it closes. The main parking lot has no lighting at all. From what I have noticed, it appears that the police conduct a drive through in the park somewhere around 10:00pm, but additional activity typically takes place after 10:00pm. Wondering if it would be possible to install some type of automatic/timed gate that would restrict cars from driving into the park after it closes. Thank you! ◊ Field Park. Usually lots of people that are “too old” to be hanging out by the

playground equipment - making it not a kid or family friendly destination. ◊ not wheelchair accessible, prefer my kids not to play on park structures with sand. ◊ Fairwinds: When is this going to finally be completed? ◊ To get to minors park you have to go down hwy 99 (LO) there is no safe way to get there other than going on the road. ◊ Busy intersection to walk and cross to get to field park ◊ Parks can always be a concern for safety because of all the Landscaping and tendency to run/walk alone. Maybe have more safety stations/helps. ◊ Accessibility of all, need more walking/bike access ◊ Some of the parks are not accessible in the evening when families many times would like to sit around a fire and just roast marshmallows and talk. But many parks close at dusk ◊ “Walking trails to all parks ◊ Lack of nice equipment and surfaces under equipment ◊ Need to update look of parks to make invitingFence around Field Parkturf under equipment” ◊ playground equipment dangerous for small children ◊ Field park is pretty dirty with garbage and graffiti. ◊ Traffic entering/exiting Field Park is hazardous ◊ Cannot walk to any of them ◊ general concerns about vandalism and issues with youth ◊ At Field Park, most of the play equipment is rusty or moldy, so run down ◊ My concern is for the quality of water of Phantom Lake.

improved boat launch in Southeastern Wisconsin that does not charge a fee to launch or park a boat trailer. By doing so the lake is overly fished and populated with speed boats and wave runners. There is revenue for the Village to be had here without taxing the property owners for a change. ◊ Field park during Maxwell street days- the parking across NN and people crossing not at the light is very dangerous. Please improve this or make all walkers cross at the lights. ◊ Concern over the Registered sex offenders in the Mukwonago area. ◊ No sidewalks connection ◊ I think the lack of bathrooms makes it hard to spend significant time at parks for many people. Outhouses don’t work for everyone. ◊ Riding bike in Mukwonago is dangerous. Drivers do not look for bikes. ◊ Indianhead park could be cleaner. ◊ Boat launch at Phantom Glenn has significant, ongoing issues: goose poop everywhere, the launch is poorly designed and in need of serious reconfiguration. MANY people are unfamiliar with appropriate boat launch/retrieval etiquette. Shoreline management in the park is nonexistent. ◊ Sometime the big kids have taken over the playground equipment and my grandkids are to afraid and will leave. Big kids I mean high school kids. ◊ Crossing NN and 83 is challenging and at times dangerous when going to Maxwell St days and farmers market. ◊ Loose, large dogs. ◊ Cars speeding into and

out of Minnewaukan Park area ◊ Miniwaukan Park access is mostly by cars driven thru a residential subdivision ◊ Minor Park playground equipment is decrepit and unsafe. Slide platform is missing a piece of wood, resulting in an opening large enough for a child to fall through. ◊ Accessibility to restrooms at just about all the parks ◊ Locations of sex offenders who love close to parks ◊ No handicap accessible ◊ Lots of teen drinking must be going on at night. Many empty beer bottles. ◊ Phantom is poorly lit ◊ Field park, I have seen drug syringes and pipes. ◊ its difficult to enter Field Park while southbound on 83 or westbound on NN ◊ The village has done a nice job of making them more accessible over the past few years. ◊ I bike a lot, it’s hard to get to most village parks by bicycle. I wish they would of made a bike path along the new NN instead of two sidewalks. A nice asphalt bike path on the East side would of been great. I won’t bike in the street on NN it’s too dangerous. ◊ Marijuana smokers, men entering and leaving parked cars, speeders, alcohol all at miniwaukan park. I refer to disc golf as “ pot golf”. When the wind blows the right direction, you can smell it. Get rid of the disc golf course. ◊ Miniwaukan Park and Lauren Park are hard for people in wheelchairs or walking issues to get to the baseball and football fields. ◊ at miniwauken park they don’t always shovel or

plow the asphalt trails in wintertime ◊ The Mukwonago County Park is neither accessible by foot or by bike. This greatly limits its usage. ◊ Sidewalks on south side of NN crossing at high school too dangerous and crossing at 83 not enough time to cross with little kids ◊ HHS @dmj659@yagoo. com ◊ “Better lighting in the parking lot of Miniwaukan park ◊ Dog park in the small dog area.

No need to be separate and compete if that is part of the future plan. ◊ bike lanes, education on pedestrian/biking safety ◊ Outdoor Pool would be amazing. ◊ Athletic programs for children who live in the Village or enter back into a contract that allows Village kids to participate in the Town programs without having to pay the NON-Resident fee. ◊ Running/hiking/walking trails that are off-road. ◊ Ice Rink - Many areas families have to travel to

Brookfield or Delafield to participate in hockey for 6-8 months a year ◊ More youth soccer ◊ Connect all parks and neighborhoods with a bike/walk loop. Would be nice for a workout. ◊ Better nature and hiking locations and more fields for athletics ◊ The children here are limited on summer activities outside if joining the YMCA or swimming at a park. A splash pad would be great! ◊ score boards at Miniwauken ◊ handicapped accessible features--I’ve seen wheelchair accessible marsh walks and hunting stations ◊ ? ◊ Dog park ◊ trails on abandoned rail tracks or connection/ network with other community trails. Or a loop around the Village ◊ An outdoor pool with swimming lessons for kids ◊ Swimming pools. Indoor and outdoor ◊ cross country skiing ◊ A splash pad would be phenomenal all my kids could play together ◊ Better kayak/canoe launches. Have a kayak fishing program. ◊ Skate park for the kids. New mountain biking trails ◊ Outdoor pool ◊ Our family would LOVE a public swimming pool! We moved here from a town that had a beautiful pool, so it was a difficult transition to make. More bike/pedestrian trails would be nice. ◊ Walking club, biking club, yoga ◊ Bicycle trails ◊ Outdoor pool ◊ Art classes for kids & adults, gymnastics for kids that have actual equipment (East Troy is not well

equipped and isn’t for older kids), kids running program, outdoor exploration at different areas for families (like an explorers club). ◊ I think you offer plenty of programs. People have tons of programs to choose from and not enough time to do them. You need to leave some of the parks for people to just enjoy on their own. ◊ Rejoin in partnership with the Town of Muk. rec. dept. so we don’t have to pay “non-resident” fees. ◊ Sure would be nice if kids could get around town safely by bicycle. Then I wouldn’t have to drive them so many places. ◊ An outdoor pool and splash pad! ◊ Services are fairly good. Baseball diamonds could use a little more upkeep/ mowing during the season. ◊ Outdoor pool, splash pad, would love even more fun family events at field park, festivals, movies at the park, bands every Friday? Sports and leagues for adults and youth offered through park and rec. ◊ An indoor or outdoor community pool or splash pad would be awesome for families to utilize. ◊ Not sure we need to ◊ Lower my taxes. Keep my family safe. ◊ You should offer a recreation department like the town of Mukwonago with different activities like gymnastics. ◊ For children rec not select! ◊ Need more variety of sports programs year round for kids to try ◊ A public pool would be most welcome. ◊ Swimming! ◊ “Outdoor pool ◊ Golf range “

VILLAGE OF MUKWONAGO || COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION PLAN

â&#x2014;&#x160; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youth Rec sports are slowly diminishing and we are having to travel outside of the school district for our kids to participate in youth sports. â&#x2014;&#x160; Adult Rec programs like volleyball and softball â&#x2014;&#x160; Youth programs intro to lacrosse, volleyball, baskeballâ&#x20AC;? â&#x2014;&#x160; More restroom buildings or garbage cans to throw dog poop bags away. â&#x2014;&#x160; none at this time â&#x2014;&#x160; Would be nice to be able to have the same types of programs that are offered by the town of Mukwonago. If that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possible, it would be nice to not have to pay non-resident fees for those programs like it used to be. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frustrating to have to pay out of resident fees to the town of Mukwonago, when there are no programs like that in the village. â&#x2014;&#x160; Maybe a visit from the extension agent to teach about urban gardening, wild space restoration, bee rescue, etc? â&#x2014;&#x160; Bike trail to East Troy, life guards at swimming hole, outdoor concerts in the parks â&#x2014;&#x160; Sand Volleyball â&#x2014;&#x160; A pool or splash pad would be great! â&#x2014;&#x160; With the number of young families coming to Mukwonago and starting their families I think a splash pad or some kind of outdoor swimming facility would really enhance Mukwonago and make it a destination for people outside the community as well. I actually travel to the hartland splash pad frequently. â&#x2014;&#x160; Just moved to Mukwonago last Summer; wish we had received a welcome packet with info about the parks, lake access/ rules/etc. â&#x2014;&#x160; Improved beach area

and consession stand and play and picnic area and parking lot. We need a large area devoted to kids of all ages like frame park riverwalk in Waukesha. â&#x2014;&#x160; sledding hill or ice rink â&#x2014;&#x160; Splash Pad / Outdoor Kiddie Pool â&#x2014;&#x160; We need more trails for walking/biking. Kids need access to school and parks also for activities. â&#x2014;&#x160; More biking trails â&#x2014;&#x160; Frisbee Golf â&#x2014;&#x160; Pickleball - a great lifelong sport. All ages can play. â&#x2014;&#x160; Youth sports â&#x2014;&#x160; Adult basketball leagues.....2 or 3 age groups â&#x2014;&#x160; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Running Club â&#x2014;&#x160; â&#x20AC;&#x153; â&#x2014;&#x160; none, keep up whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s currently offered, do not need to add more. â&#x2014;&#x160; A pool would bring in a lot more activities â&#x2014;&#x160; An outdoor pool, an outdoor pool, an outdoor pool! đ&#x;&#x2DC;&#x2030; â&#x2014;&#x160; None â&#x2014;&#x160; Camping â&#x2014;&#x160; Indoor sports facility for youth sports to be able to use. â&#x2014;&#x160; â&#x20AC;&#x153;more teen offerings â&#x2014;&#x160; disc golf in more parksâ&#x20AC;? â&#x2014;&#x160; Be part of the Town of Mukwonago Rec Program. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfair that we are excluded from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Residentâ&#x20AC;? fee and have to pay quite more for all of the classes we sign up our kids because Village does not participate in the program. I hope Village decides to invest in it so we can take more advantage of such nice sports activities. â&#x2014;&#x160; A summer rec program for kids held in the Village â&#x2014;&#x160; Pickle Ball!!!! â&#x2014;&#x160; Community Swimming pool â&#x2014;&#x160; Hockey / skating rink â&#x2014;&#x160; Adult focused leagues

â&#x2014;&#x160; Nice basketball courts â&#x2014;&#x160; really want more sidewalks maybe â&#x2014;&#x160; Summer/Fall Lacrosse â&#x2014;&#x160; I think the Village currently offers an excellent selection of programs and services. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel any additions are needed. â&#x2014;&#x160; Improved snowmobiling and biking trails please. â&#x2014;&#x160; More adult park and rec sports. â&#x2014;&#x160; swimming facility, splashpad â&#x2014;&#x160; Swimming with supervision â&#x2014;&#x160; Band Shell â&#x2014;&#x160; Unsure â&#x2014;&#x160; Outdoor pool, splash pad, walking/biking trails â&#x2014;&#x160; Public golf course some where in the south side of Waukesha county. A better frisbee golf course . Star watching groups â&#x2014;&#x160; Adult sports leagues â&#x2014;&#x160; My daughter loved being able to partake in the Park & Rec program through the town. I remain extremely disappointed in the village that this was taken away without an alternative. We cannot justify paying nearly double the rate because we are considered a non-resident to the town, which is walking distance. We moved here for the sense of community and the amenities available to our children and the village seems to be losing sight of this. â&#x2014;&#x160; Paved bike trails â&#x2014;&#x160; The village in general should have a park and Rec program...embarrassing that it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. â&#x2014;&#x160; Splash pad â&#x2014;&#x160; Splash Pad â&#x2014;&#x160; Pool â&#x2014;&#x160; An outdoor pool would be very popular. We stopped going to Mukwonago park for swimming because of the geese and because my kids would get rashes.

â&#x2014;&#x160; Bocce ball clubs and Public outdoor swimming pool. â&#x2014;&#x160; Day trips for seniors â&#x2014;&#x160; I am sure Field Park will soon be a true field park if some focus on making sure those beautiful oaks are allowed to replenish using their own seeds. Leave a portion of the park unmowed. 10â&#x20AC;&#x2122;x10â&#x20AC;&#x2122; section. That soil is so compacted! â&#x2014;&#x160; a community pool would be well loved and used. â&#x2014;&#x160; Outdoor pool/splash pad. Brookfield Wirth Park is very good example of high quality community park. â&#x2014;&#x160; Golf Course â&#x2014;&#x160; A park and rec program. â&#x2014;&#x160; Archery range sidewalks that connect and in to the bypass all the way over 83 and down through the village past NAPA auto parts and it needs to be lit and rest benches need to be installed and more hunting opportunities to put lights in and sidewalks down through and NN to pick and savewe need to continue that so we can walk through the village and maybe patronize more businesses because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a walk-through â&#x2014;&#x160; It would be nice to be able to participate in the town of Mukwonago programs without having to pay the additional fee for being i the village â&#x2014;&#x160; Fair time on fields for ALL sports â&#x2014;&#x160; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ice Skating at Field Park â&#x2014;&#x160; Better Fishing areasâ&#x20AC;? â&#x2014;&#x160; Golf course! â&#x2014;&#x160; More bike trails and outdoor pools for families. â&#x2014;&#x160; Access to the lake to swim. â&#x2014;&#x160; Something that is easy for people with disabilities and young children to get around playground â&#x2014;&#x160; Hockey for all ages because we would have

to drive to west allis, Delafield, Hartland, and Brookfield to get to the closest one. ◊ ATV routes would be nice. ◊ none ◊ Skateboard/scooter facility ◊ Return summer swim education to park ◊ For recreational activities, town and village should be considered the same (same pricing). ◊ Outdoor pool, mini golf, bike trails, walking trails ◊ Ahhhhh, I do not know what programs are offered. How is this advertised/presented? ◊ Splash pad please! ◊ Kids and adult sports and enrichment ◊ Something for swimming or a small water park. YMCA gets too expensive. ◊ Beer Gardens. Rather spend my money in my county in my parks than travel to MKE. Perfect for whole family. ◊ None I can think of. ◊ encourage all different types of recreation and as much as possible ◊ Aqua Fitness ◊ No answer ◊ Better swimming access on Phantom Lake would be great, or at least expanding that recreational area on the river. ◊ Trail along side the Mukwonago/Fox River. ◊ Bike trails ◊ Canoeing, fishing, hunting from the ES Fox River bridge is quite popular. Update the access to the river. ◊ Rugby club sport ◊ I would like to see an offroad or ATV park. ◊ Not sure ◊ Retain as much natural habitat as possible! Don’t drain the wetlands that Waukesha County is known for, like the approved apartment

complex building on Hwy 83 south of the village. ◊ “Trap shooting. ◊ Mountain bike trails. ◊ Archery course.” ◊ Guided nature walks, so residents can get familiar with resources currently available, such as the Vernon Marsh area. ◊ It would be great if we had a larger playground in the village with more interactive pieces. Ex:Imagination station in Oconomowoc... when we travel we have gone to so many fun playgrounds and I feel that we need to leave the village to experience this ◊ Swimming lessons ◊ Art classes for young and older folks. Music in the parks. ◊ It is unacceptable that we have to pay non resident fees to participate in the Town of Mukwonago Park and Recreation program. ◊ Trails along the rivers ◊ Go back to sharing rec with Town so we don’t have to pay non res fees! ◊ A place for the dog people. Frisbee golf is hard enough without having to dodge the dog poop!! ◊ Adult rec programs ◊ An ATV use area would have a lot of interest in this area, even if its on a trial basis on a few acres. ◊ outdoor pool ◊ Programs for the going senior population, to encourage them to remain in the community ◊ Kayak and canoe rental ◊ swimming outdoors ◊ The large field below the Village’s fire dept is great for running dogs. But, the road is very poorly maintained and there are trails that could be enhanced for walking or biking. It would be nice to have addtn’l grilling areas or a shelter here. ◊ Not sure

◊ A Parks and Rec program for children like many surrounding areas offer. ◊ Outdoor Performance Stage. ◊ Woodworking ◊ Bicycle trails ◊ Bocce Ball Leagues For seniors. Ping pong for seniors. ◊ Splash pad/outdoor pool, local beer garden. ◊ canoe access to Fox River ◊ Youth sports. ◊ Outdoor Pool for kids in the summer, Lacrosse fields (growing sport in the community) ◊ canoe/kayak/SUP rentals ◊ No comment ◊ Team/youth programs/ sports ◊ More extensive bike trails which traverse the village. Would like to be able to cover the entire village, and parts of the town, on a reasonable trail or sidewalk. ◊ None ◊ Skateboard park, out door pool, ◊ We need a park and rec department such a downfall for living here and with the taxes we pay a huge disappointment. ◊ public swimming pool ◊ As village residents, we are frustrated with paying nonresident fees for Town of Mukwonago recreation programs/youth sports. Please come up with some kind of reciprocity or develop a program that is comparable. ◊ Off-road hiking and biking (not mountain biking), cross country skiing ◊ Outdoor yoga or walking group/club near the lake ◊ “Ice rink ◊ Youth sports so I don’t have to pay extra to join the Town offerings.” ◊ Convert the disc golf to a driving range ◊ a summer golf program for kids like east troy has

◊ A public pool would be outstanding! The closest to us may be Cool Waters? ◊ upgrade the existing beach at Indian Head Park or create a larger beach on Phantom Lake ◊ A youth program with a variety of activities including sports, STEM, and community involvement. It’s annoying paying out of residence fees for Town of Mukwonago, town of Vernon, or Town of East Troy because we do not have any alternative resource. ◊ teenagers are always getting in to trouble for riding skateboards in the wrong places,but yet they have nowhere to ride them.they need a skate park put in the village so they have somewhere to go.there should also be a Rec. space for kids too. ◊ “A new park for kids i n the Bear pass area for the childre n ◊ i n the apartments” ◊ Unsure ◊ Outdoor exercise equipment ◊ Outdoor pool ◊ Given the villages location, an ice rink would be a hit. ◊ Ice rink! Having learn to skate/play classes, hockey leagues etc would be great! I truly believe it would be utilized ◊ something swimming related and a sewing/crafts program for kids ◊ I would love to see an outdoor ice rink in the winter and an outdoor pool for the summer. ◊ None at this time ◊ Pickleball ◊ Trails connecting the village for better/easier access from all areas of the village to businesses and parks. ◊ A splash pad with nice Clean picnic areas

VILLAGE OF MUKWONAGO || COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION PLAN

◊ Splash pad and new playground and way more sidewlaks ◊ “Canoe & kayak rental on the Fox River ◊ Better playground equipment “ ◊ none at this time ◊ Partnering with the Town of Mukwonago Parks & Recreation Department. ◊ more bike and hiking trials ◊ daytime programs for seniors ◊ Splash pad, kickball leagues, outdoor concerts/beer garden at Field Park. ◊ Improve playground equipment for younger children, and disc golf course options and maintenance. Q20 Please use this space to provide any other comments relating to pedestrian, bicycle, park and recreation services or facilities in the Village of Mukwonago. ◊ Safe biking. Outdoor ice rink. Sanitary swimming at river. ◊ Continue to invest in own parks and recreational projects. Develop “pocket parks” in subdivisions or other areas. ◊ Indian Head and Phantom Glen could be renovated ◊ expand pedestrian path ◊ None ◊ Connect, extend, and construct new trails ◊ There are a lot of families with young kids that love to meet outdoors when weather is nice. A new large playground would be nice (without sand underneath) with splash pad or wading pool, ample parking, picnic shelters/tables and clean restrooms. ◊ “Not complaining, we love the Village. Everything is well kept, but

aged areas cannot always be simply maintained. ◊ It would be good to allocate significant funds to improving multiple areas and also get the new ones in place that have been promised (Hello Bielinski-Fairwinds!!!)” ◊ If the parks were updated, Mukwonago could host so many more events. Would be great for the community. ◊ I think the Village of Mukwonago does a nice job with its parks and facilities--the main thing is to keep them maintained so we can continue to enjoy them! ◊ Skateboards are concern for older people. ◊ “Lots of trees along bypass path as there is NO shade and sun is not good for your skin. ◊ Field Park pavilion needs to be upgraded or replaced as it is a disgrace to our visitors!” ◊ Any additions such as parks or trails is welcome to our family. ◊ N/A ◊ I would sure love to see fireworks held in our community. Having to go to East Troy or Waukesha is ridiculous. Consider cutting fireworks from Midnight Magic or Father’s Day ◊ I really like the bike/walking trails at Minawauken park and Holz Parkway... it would be awesome if it could be extended further (maybe to downtown). ◊ There should be paths all around the high school. There are so many kids that run through the village after school it’s dangerous and they don’t move over for cars. ◊ Would like more hiking trails maintained ◊ I would love to have at least one of the parks be

and Inclusive Playground and rec programs. Not only for the children but then anyone adult or child with a disability can go there. Because they would be able to get around and enjoy the outdoors. ◊ We would love to see the Holtz Parkway path expanded ◊ Consider working w/other nearby towns to establish bike trails. Current 2 lane roads have little to no shoulders & are too risky for most bicyclists. ◊ Overall, I am very pleased with the parks and facilities offered by the Village of Mukwonago. ◊ Weather makes it difficult to be useful year-round, but biking/walking from the local/outlying neighborhoods could be more convenient. In general, they are very nice parks. ◊ Maintain what you have, make biking safer, and work together with the Town to make the “Greater Mukwonago Area” one combined area for recreation. ◊ The Village Park needs to be updated. Remove the unsightly chain-link fence around the park to make it appear more inviting. ◊ Miniwaukan needs better baseball fields and bathrooms and parking. ◊ The park is often closed at the beach area in mukwonago due to ecoli in the water so we have been frequenting muskego beaches instead. ◊ Miniwauken really needs to be improved to draw more baseball teams and tournaments. Concession stands could raise funds to pay for additional accommodations. ◊ NN needs a sidewalk on BOTH sides. If you don’t build in bike lanes on the highways, slow the speed

limit WAY down because someone’s going to get injured! ◊ My daughter likes to bike in town to get ice cream so I’m glad that NN is improved & we love Holt parkway ◊ Parks are not maintained very well. ◊ Like everything in the Village, we are stagnant. There is growth in business (retail) and recreation all around us and Mukwonago sits relatively idol. I spend most of my income outside of the Village and would really like to not do that. ◊ Connect the sidewalk from NN to the bypass sidewalk. Continue sidewalk to Two Rivers subdivision. Install sidewalk on ES from Two Rivers to downtown. ◊ Should be a safer way for those far our to get to stores shops, ect. By biking/walking ◊ There are at least 2 select baseball organizations that call Mukwonago home. Our baseball facilities are embarrassing compared to other organizations that play in our league. ◊ I don’t like that the path that’s by the interstate doesn’t go anywhere ◊ Streets in Mukwonago are not very bicycle or pedestrian friendly. More needs to be done to educate motorists about bicylists & pedestrian safety. ◊ just to make it more bike friendly & offer something for the teenagers to do (i.e. skate park) ◊ NA ◊ I am from a Minneapolis suburb: they have trails woven between neighborhoods, parks and stores. They get used alot, because they have been there for generations. I hope Mukwo-

nago can encourage our residents to become more active by making it easy to access trails...and get Moving! ◊ Last I recall, Mukwonago was sharing it’s recreation activities with East Troy - is this still true? Why doesn’t mukwonago have its OWN recreation department - most activities are IN East Troy. ◊ There just seems to be a bunch of “pieces” of a recreational trail around town...just connect them all and try and do it so there are minimal locations where you have to cross the street/deal with busy roads like Hwy 83 which is very over-crowded and dangerous (cars don’t yield to pedestrians) ◊ We have plenty of Frisbee golf courses. Not at all happy with the new one added to Minor Park. Also concerned about the proposed work on the boat ramp interfering with people actually being able to get their boats in the water next spring/summer? This needs to be properly communicated, and the needs of the taxpayers considered. ◊ Repaint all pedestrian crosswalks with cross-hash marks. ◊ Would like to see concession stands and dugouts for the baseball diamonds at Miniwaukan. Seems to be one of the few area parks without either? Maybe outdoor lighting at one of the diamonds as well. ◊ I live in the town, so this does not concern me as much but I generally like the idea to transform our ‘downtown’ area into a more foot friendly space with areas to stroll with a family ◊ It would be great to see

A-40

some of the parks maintain or add volleyball courts. ◊ Would love to see safer access to parks by bicycle from subdivisions. Newer playground equiptment more in line with New Berlin, Delafield, and Oconomowoc. So excited about possible improvements! Thank you for asking! ◊ I’m very glad this is being taken into consideration ◊ The name ‘park’ implies (to me) play equipment. In other towns, each neighborhood has their own park. ◊ Indianhead beach- concerns about safety on the beach- broken glass frequently found under sand, and restroom facilities in disrepair. ◊ As a frequent cyclist I think more road markings and signs to make drivers more aware of cyclists would promote more cycling. Bike lanes where possible also would be a great addition ◊ It will be nice when the boat launch is re-done. I understand this has been put off until 2018. ◊ I don’t even know where if any in the village there are pedestrian walking trails. ◊ WE NEED MORE PLACES TO BIKE ◊ We cannot have too much green space. The Village should buy up all the land they can and preserve the semirural atmosphere that makes Mukwonago a good place to live. ◊ We are fortunate to have the parks we have and I think the village is doing a good job of maintaining them. ◊ Many areas just seem rundown. Miniwaukan: Grass is always way too long, when large trees or branches fall it takes

months for them to get cleaned up, disc golf tee pads are abysmal, indications of where the disc golf course crosses the pedestrian path (striped paint?), disc golf course signage in general (please do not use the signs on the baskets that destroy a disc if it hits the edge right). Field Park: Tennis courts cracks, horse shoe pits, grass along the paved areas, main building. All Parks: Trash cans are ugly, picnic tables are always paint chipped, not enough trashcans and benches, real bathrooms. Mukwonago Co. Park (S. of LO): Parking area. ◊ Again, I know it says Village.... but the Town need shoulders on the roads. To provide safer roads for pedestrians, bikers, and people driving. ◊ I love living here and love our parks! ◊ “Add outdoor fitness equipment ◊ Dog poop bags stations at every park” ◊ We are lacking compared to other areas. ◊ Need more bike trails ◊ I would like an environment to help me feel safe taking kids biking who are just learning to ride and to get around to main locations without riding on busy/crowded hwy 83 ◊ We have several bits and pieces of bike trails and hiking but they don’t “connect” well ◊ Could make good use of sidewalks from Field Park west the high school so kids are not walking on neighbor’s yards or in Road. ◊ We agree that an Arts and Cultural facility should be built in Mukwonago ◊ I would like to see more bike trails in the village. ◊ Another consideration is

some shuffleboard courts. A fun activity for all ages. ◊ Generally pleased with the offerings in the Village ◊ spend your money wisely ◊ This survey is written in a very biased way, similar to the school board referendum. The village has been run fine for many decades, quit needlessly spending the taxpayer money on property that isn’t selling (Horter’s and Chapman’s) and worry about existing core services. ◊ Need to get the word out to new residents as to where the parks and trails are located! ◊ I like the sidewalk non Veterans parkway ◊ Really need to look at traffic safety by Aldi/ Home Depot area ◊ Adding pedestrian sidewalks all across Village of Mukwonago and Pedestrian cross-walk with flashing lights on major intersections would be great so kids could walk home safe from school. ◊ Don’t waste $$$ trying to stop Emerald Ash..just let them go and plant other species ◊ It would be nice if a bike/ walk/running trail was available that connected to one of the big ones; i.e. Glacial Drumlin, etc. ◊ Build the Fairwinds Park!!!! ◊ Would just like a nice bike trail in Mukwonago so we don’t have to go all the way to Sunset Park. ◊ more side walks ◊ Things are looking good from my perspective, keep up the good work! ◊ Very discouraging that village residents have to pay non-resident fees for the Town rec program, especially when the village does not have a program. There should be more community cohesion between the

VILLAGE OF MUKWONAGO || COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION PLAN

town and village and less burden on the taxpayers, especially when the village residents already pay higher property taxes. ◊ Heading in the right direction! ◊ more places to park bicycles and eat outdoors ◊ It would be great to see the playground equipment at the park on County LO near Minors Homestead upgraded and expanded, a shelter/pavilion added, and parking expanded and paved. An outdoor public pool and splash pad would provide great summer recreation for the families of the Mukwonago area! Also, fullcourt basketball courts with premium goals would provide excellent recreational and athletic development for area youth. ◊ The subdivision behind the High School should really have sidewalks. The rest of the village has sidewalks. ◊ To make Mukwonago a “dark sky certified” city and town. http://darksky. org/ ◊ While there doesn’t always need to be a trail it’d be nice if at least we could try to get paved shoulders so it gives bikes some place to ride when drivers aren’t giving them space. ◊ I would like to see programs offered to youth such as gymnastics, tball, basketball, etc., where it does not cost us to be considered a non-resident in the town of Mukwonago. Instead of feeling united there is a divide between the town and the village. It’s unfortunate. ◊ My wife’s family has a cabin in the town of Baraboo I think would be

an excellent community to look at from the standpoint of an outdoor pool. ◊ Update playground equipment. Parks are destinations and part of the overall quality of a community. Our parks need a major overhaul and update. ◊ More sidewalks ◊ I know from other families that indoor space for baseball and soccer would be very helpful. ◊ Basketball courts and an outdoor Mukwonago Public Swimming pool ◊ The sidewalk on Hwy 83 by the museum is not a safe place. A barrier needs to exist, additionally someone is going to run someone over there... for real. ◊ Please start and finish the park in the Fairwinds subdivision ◊ I love our parks and though I am not in the village, would support more ped and bike trails. I walk frequently and would make use of it. ◊ Na ◊ Plant native trees!!! 50 years from now our Village will be more beautiful if we plant native oaks, maples (NOT Norway maples), hickory, Aspen, etc. Planting of trees like Norway Maple, Ash, Japanese Tree Lilac, non-native Elm, etc. should not be permitted on Village parks/property and road parkways. ◊ We have started bringing the community together with bike trails. We need to finish that and make the whole community available by bike or walking ◊ I love that there are so many parks and green spaces. I’d love for pedestrian traffic to be more encouraged throughout town. ◊ Add a Hockey rink

◊ none ◊ Better lake access would be nice for swimming and onshore fishing. ◊ We just moved here and I am excited to see all Mukwonago has to offer. In researching where to move I will say the only couple draw backs I saw to Mukwonago was lack of off road paved biking (or at least lack of ease finding much about any) and lack of pool. As a whole though the draw to Mukwonago was/is so strong and I am thrilled to learn more about all there is. Thank you for making this an amazing community! ◊ Bike path on bypass is great, but access is poor. ◊ Have lived here for 10 years and have two small children-mukwonago is a very isolated community-grew up in Wauwatosa with pool, parks, rec department. None of that here...no sense of community...nothing walkable, hasn’t change in 10 years of living here... except hwy no sidewalk. Stop investing in gas stations and coffe shops and put in a bike trail or sidewalk ◊ Make sure to make it safe to travel throughout the village for biker and pedestrians - sidewalks/ trails are needed! ◊ I was disappointed in having to pay the non-resident fee for town of Mukwonago for a class my daughter I was in; the class was not worth the full fee. I hope the village can figure something out to offer classes/ leagues as my children get more of age to participate for a better value. ◊ We need a Rec dept with activities or to re-establish the agreement with the town. Paying extra fees when we all live in one

small town is ridiculous. ◊ Please no more bike. ◊ like to see a bike trail throughout the village and town ◊ The village has nice parks. Thank you for asking for input and considering improving on what is already a good thing! ◊ I am concerned about all the new residential and multi-family housing in the area, but especially up and down Hwy 83 and ES. I am afraid this is too much in a short period of time and will result in traffic problems, etc. ◊ We think flashing pedestrian lights over main roads like 83 would be a good idea/investment. ◊ Need a map for walking and biking facilities ◊ Mukwonago has done a very good job providing parks, sidewalks, activities,swimming, they have gotten value for the money they spend. I am not against new spending, but there are people who always want more, without consideration of cost, and cost benefit ratio. ◊ Sidewalk connection make it a full circle ◊ I just feel like it’s a difficult community to send your kids out on a bike ride because of the lack of continuous sidewalks, which really is a shame when we live in a smaller, safer community. Also, I would love to see restrooms at Minniwaukan & Lauren & others. So difficult for ball players & families to not have good restrooms when they spend hours there. ◊ Very happy with what we have now but the Mukwonago/Fox River is underutilized. ◊ Finally NN to 83 has been updated with sidewalks. I wrote an email to the village president ex-

pressing my concern for safety for this area and did not get a response. It was horrible riding bike on, especially when the catholic church let out. ◊ Would really appreciate something being added to the fairwinds park like playground equipment, picnic tables, shelter, splash pad ◊ Need places to safely ride bicycles. ◊ You have good pedestrian options, but the boat launch at Phantom is awful. There is nothing for off-road bicycling. The Village seems only interested in warming-up to businesses that will overtake greenspace with parking lots and ugly buildings. The quality of life aspects in the Village are poor. ◊ It would be great if there could be some bicycle trails or a bicycle lane that would allow bicycles to get from place to place in the village. The traffic gets pretty heavy and I do not feel comfortable letting my children ride there bikes around with me. It would be fun if we could ride our bikes to different parts of town safely. ◊ Bring back the music in the parks. We loved it. Bought the community together. ◊ Again want to mention the desire for the park that has been penciled in for the Fairwinds subdivision for years to finally be constructed. ◊ It would be great to have better and new playground equipment at the park on County LO across from the Minor’s subdivision. ◊ Would like to see more safe walking paths/sidewalks to get to restaurants, library, particularly along HWY ES.

A-42

◊ “Village does a nice job maintaining our parks. ◊ Not so nice in enforcing loose dog rules in parks - nor in picking up after dogs.” ◊ Bathroom Facilities could use better upkeep (paint, fixtures, etc). ◊ The village does not provide bike paths to move around the village or parking space for any large events at our parks. ◊ Love the new sidewalks and lights on the finished NN. ◊ beverage machines ◊ I would think if the Village enhanced the make shift boat launch off of National Ave that many would be willing to pay a small fee to launch and park there. It’s very convenient and a great place to access the Fox River and Vernon Marsh. ◊ Overall decent sidewalks in most of the areas in town. ◊ Please do not allow the disk golf group to destroy the natural wooded area in Minors park. ◊ “Need bikes for poor folks to rent ◊ Start anime sharing program” ◊ Bicycling in Mukwonago is unsafe. I’m really surprised it’s one of the worst communities. Take some ideas from Milwaukee and the Oak Leaf Trail. ◊ More bike trails ◊ Park with playground within walking distance of National Ave northeast of Hwy NN, sidewalks along National Ave to access area parks, restaurants, and stores. ◊ more hiking and biking trails ◊ we need much better/ safer pedestrian walkways within the village so kids can walk/bike safely to schools ◊ Include developer fi-

nanced park-like facilities in new housing developments. ◊ There is no longer continuous bike path that would provide for a more significant bike ride. All end after short distances and result in biking in less safe highways or roads. A plan which would connect areas to provide a longer route would be nice. ◊ Town needs to add bike/ walk paths into village from major sub division neighborhoods ◊ It would be wonderful (not sure if it would be possible) to create a trail that would stretch the length of Mukwonago (much like exists in Muskego) ◊ Once again I can’t comment enough how disapponted the families are including mine for not having a park and rec department and making us spend so much to go to town of Mukwonago and Vernon. there should be no reason why there isn’t a park and rec. Kids want to play with their friends in the village as well and not constantly be split up. ◊ We are very concerned about the amount of trees being taken down in village parks and the lack of/limited variety of trees being planted to replace them. As lifelong residents, we are concerned about places like Field Park becoming open fields instead of shaded parks. ◊ I do not want my taxes to go up for parks. I’d like to see the money that is already budgeted used for improvements or I’d like to see public-private partnerships to pay for things. For example, let a coffee shop help fund improvements to a

park trail in exchange for being allowed to set up a coffee store in the park. Let a corporation fund improvements in a park in exchange for having the park named after their company or for having free advertising in the park. An example would be the way Kentucky Fried Chicken sponsored certain road repairs in the South in exchange for having their name written on the pavement. I DO NOT want more bike lanes hogging up our roads. Put bike lanes in the parks or on roads next to the marsh or other parks but do NOT cut back the space on our roads so people can bike 7 or 8 months out of the year. Even people who bike and don’t drive go to the grocery store and buy food or goods that were shipped to the stores by truck so it’s in everyone’s interest to keep the roads open. Everyone has a stake in having good and ample roadway. A fraction of the population utilizes bike lanes and I don’t want my money going to pay for them. ◊ It’s a well known safety engineering strategy (and common sense,) that to decrease pedestrian accidents you need to separate the pedestrian from the vehicle. Uneven and damaged pavement and the absence of sidewalks deter many from enjoying a walk outdoors and endanger those who do. Whether to have sidewalks should not be left up to the residents of the block, any more than whether to have streetlights or, for that matter, paved roads. A network of sidewalks is not built primarily for the residents

VILLAGE OF MUKWONAGO || COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION PLAN

of any one block, but rather for all of us who want to go safely from one place to another by foot. ◊ I wish the traffic would be slower on ES so the kids can safely ride bikes. A lot of speeding between the fork with 83 and the bridge on ES. ◊ Overall the parks and rec department, I would consider a failure. Lack of organization for all Mukwonago, no rec baseball but plenty of “select” teams who are poor quality. I have noticed a huge drop off in community pride in 17 years. ◊ Village seems to spend alot on police, business, village hall, too many employees, village board, but not much on the children’s programs in this village. ◊ I’m just very excited that this is a topic or interest. This has been a key area that Mukwonago lacks. ◊ There is a surprisingly large amount of children i n this areaof Mukwo nago, wit no park area open. ◊ Make bike riding safer ◊ My kids participate in Town of Mukwonago park district sports. It is very frustrating to have to pay extra because we aren’t in the town. Why do we not have one big park district which combines the village and town? ◊ Keep DNR conservancies intact and only have walking trails in these areas ◊ “A footbridge, sidewalk and traffic lights at the intersection of ES & Edgewood ◊ Upgrading the park/ equipment in Fox River View” ◊ None at this time ◊ These are important part of individuals lives and

should be updated. ◊ better trail connectivity, upgrades to Field park to increase usage, partner with private/corporate sponsors for additional projects and funding ◊ Keep bikes off the roads as much as possible for safety.

PARK & OPEN SPACE CLASSIFICATIONS/ GUIDELINES

APPENDIX B: PARK & OPEN SPACE CLASSIFICATIONS/GUIDELINES

B-1

PARK & OPEN SPACE CLASSIFICATIONS/ GUIDELINES Definitions used in this plan are modifications of definitions found in the Wisconsin Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan, 20112016, Appendix E. They are used to classify the existing parks and recreation system and to guide plans for its future development.

B.1 PARK & OPEN SPACE CLASSIFICATIONS Mini-Park

Also sometimes referred to as a “Tot Lot” or “Pocket Park” typically located on a small lot, generally a ¼ acre or less, within a residential neighborhood or commercial business district. Often these sites were originally intended for residential use, but due to various factors (e.g. poor lot design, environmental concerns, etc.), have been converted to a park. Mini-parks generally lack any active recreational facilities and may be limited to gardens, benches, gazebos, fountains, or other small social gathering facilities. Mini-parks typically do not have off-street parking or restroom facilities. Over time they may develop into neighborhood playgrounds. Desirable size: 1.5 acres or less Acres / 1,000 population: 0.25 to 0.5 acres Service Area: 1/8 to 1/4 mile radius

Neighborhood Playgrounds

A neighborhood playground mainly serves the active recreational needs of children from 5 to 15 years of age, and it may offer passive recreation opportunities to adults. Neighborhood playgrounds typically consist of one or more playground apparatus, small green space/general purpose fields, and associated benches. Some neighborhood playgrounds may develop over time to include additional amenities to become neighborhood parks. Neighborhood playgrounds typically do not have off-street parking, shelters, or restroom facilities.

B-2

Desirable size: 1 to 3 acres Acres / 1,000 population: 0.5 to 1.5 acres Service Area: 1/4 to 1/2 mile radius

Neighborhood Parks

In addition to neighborhood playground facilities, neighborhood parks often include shelter facilities, grills, basketball courts, ball diamonds, lighting, and toilet facilities. In general, neighborhood parks offer a more complete range of recreational facilities, for a wider range of age groups, in a larger setting than neighborhood playgrounds. Off-street parking and permanent restroom facilities are not as commonly found as within community parks. Desirable size: 3 to 10 acres Acres / 1,000 population: 1.0 to 2.0 acres Service Area: 1/2 to 1 mile radius

Community Playfields

The community playfield provides for the active recreational needs of several neighborhoods. It provides more unique facilities than a neighborhood park but less facilities as compared to a community park. Examples include parks designed specifically for court games (tennis, basketball, pickleball, etc.), field games (soccer, football, ultimate frisbee) or ball games (softball, baseball). A community playfield might adjoin a public junior or senior high school. Community playfields usually include off-street parking for vehicles and bicycles, concessions and restroom facilities. Desirable size: 5 or more acres with 10 to 40 acres being most common, but will vary depending on function Acres / 1,000 population: 5.0 to 8.0 acres Service Area: 1 to 2 mile radius

Community Parks

The community park is intended to serve the active and passive recreational needs of a number of neighborhoods or a medium-sized municipality. Community parks can be thought

VILLAGE OF MUKWONAGO || COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION PLAN

of as a combination of a neighborhood park and community playfield. However, community parks usually also offer areas for passive recreation use such as wood areas and walking trails, scenic lookouts, botanical gardens, multiple shelters, grills, and picnic areas. Unique active use facilities may include band shells and aquatic facilities. Off-street parking areas for vehicles and bicycles, permanent restroom facilities, shower facilities, and lighting are common.

improvements may be provided which are incidental to the enjoyment of the property. Improvements are usually located in one section on the property so that the area remains largely undeveloped. Improvements may include parking areas, interpretive centers, and restrooms. Hunting may be a primary recreational activity in such areas. Other recreational uses might include backpacking, camping, trail use, picnicking, and bird watching.

Desirable size: 25 or more acres Acres / 1,000 population: 5.0 to 8.0 acres Service Area: 2 to 5 mile radius

Desirable size: Varies - depends on function Acres / 1,000 population: Varies - depends on function Service Area: Varies - depends on function

Special Use Parks

A special use park is often designed as a revenuegenerating enterprise created to satisfy demand for a particular sport, recreational activity, or special event. A special use park may also be a sports park combined with enterprise activities and administered as a community recreation resource. Certain recreational facilities such as disc golf courses, golf courses, race tracks, municipal pools and waterparks, fishing areas and marinas might be considered special purpose parks. Less active uses may include community gardens or veteran memorials. Special use parks may be combined with community parks. Supporting facilities (offstreet parking, restrooms, etc.) will vary based on the user needs.

Greenbelts

Desirable size: Varies - depends on function Acres / 1,000 population: Varies - depends on function Service Area: Varies - depends on function

These are special purpose parks designed to serve motorists. They are important to a tourist industry as a means of providing rest and information. They may include restrooms, picnic areas, shelters, or other facilities needed by motorists. The size and location of special purpose parks depends upon natural features and the functions they are intended to serve. If oriented to motorists, traffic volumes must be considered.

Nature Preserves

Nature preserves may be established to conserve forest lands, marshlands, floodplains, prairies, wildlife habitats, and other areas having cultural, scenic, or natural values. Such areas are usually provided by county, state, or federal governments and have the primary function of wildlife and resource protection. Nature preserves usually include large tracts of land that are undeveloped or have limited development, although some

The greenbelt has basically the same characteristics and functions as the reservation or preserve; however, a greenbelt may be used to shape urban development. It may be a buffer between an urban area and surrounding rural areas and may connect parks within an urban area. Desirable size: Varies - depends on function Acres / 1,000 population: Varies - depends on function Service Area: Varies - depends on function

Waysides, Welcome Centers, and Historic Markers

Desirable size: Varies - depends on function Acres / 1,000 population: Varies - depends on function Service Area: Varies - depends on function

APPENDIX B: PARK & OPEN SPACE CLASSIFICATIONS/GUIDELINES

B-3

PARK & OPEN SPACE CLASSIFICATIONS/ GUIDELINES B.2 PARK FACILITY GUIDELINES The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) recognizes the importance of establishing and using park and recreation guidelines The guidelines on the following pages are from Lancaster, R.A. (Ed.). (1990). Recreation, Park, and Open Space Standards and Guidelines. The data from Lancaster should be used as a rule of thumb to guide future park facility development rather then City policy. For example, while the guideline identifies a community should have one tennis court per 2,000 residents logic would dictate that facility supply be based on demand or locational needs. For example, placing eight tennis courts in one park to meet the one per 2,000 standard may not be as effective as dispersing 4 tennis courts in parks across the City. In addition, local demand may dictate higher or lower service standards depending on the popularity of tennis in the community. In addition, the Lancaster publication does not include guidelines for all types of park facilities. For example, the guidelines for soccer facilities listed in the table are for regulation sized fields for high school or adult play and do not address youth soccer needs. The information in the table may be more useful as guidelines for facility sizes and desired orientations than those sections addressing units per population or service radius.

MUKWONAGO MULTI-USE TRAIL STANDARDS

APPENDIX E: MUKWONAGO MULTI-USE TRAIL STANDARDS

E-1

MUKWONAGO MULTIUSE TRAIL STANDARDS The Village of Mukwonago Comprehensive Plan requires the installation and connection of multiuse trails within and throughout the community. Where the trails are required and constructed with new development, these standards are provided for consistency of design and construction within and between developments, for the protection and safety of path users, for the mitigation of conflicts between path users and neighboring private property owners and for reduction of long term maintenance costs of the trails.

D.1 GENERAL LOCATION CRITERIA 1. Multi-use trails should be located in accordance with recommendations contained in the Village Comprehensive Plan and should be provided to connect residential areas to each other; to park and pool and park and ride transit stations; to commercial, industrial and other major activity centers; and to recreational areas. 2. Proposed new trails should be located so as to connect to existing trails in adjacent residential, commercial and industrial areas and in major parks and parkways so as to form an integrated system. 3. Trails generally should not be located immediately adjacent to roadways, except as directed by the Comprehensive Plan. 4. Trails that are located adjacent to roadways shall be located as far from the roadway as reasonably practicable.

for the cost of design and installation, with all appurtenances, for trails required within the subdivision and within adjacent right-of-way. 2. These standards will apply in most situations. When special circumstances exist, such as constructing a trail within a right-of-way adjacent to a public street, exceptions can be granted by the Village Engineer and Village Planner. If exceptions are granted, then any deviation to the design pursuant to these standards shall conform with safety guidelines found in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officialsâ&#x20AC;? (AASHTO). 3. In the absence of the Village Engineer and/ or Village Planner, a Committee of the Building Inspector, Police Chief and Fire Chief shall determine compliance with these standards.

D.3 DESIGN Whenever feasible, the multi-use trail design shall be part of the development design and/or layout so the trail and trail corridor shall conform to AASHTO Guidelines and the following Village of Mukwonago standards: 1. The trail corridor shall be at least 20 feet wide as illustrated in Figure 1. 2. The trail corridor shall accommodate a path width of a 10-foot base and an 8 foot paved surface as illustrated in Figure 1. 3. The trail shall provide for two-way traffic.

D.2 GENERAL RULSE The following general rules apply to these standards:

4. When the trail corridor is straight (non-curved), the alignment shall accommodate a cross section of 2% grade from the high side to the direction of desired drainage.

1. Developer and/or subdivider shall be responsible

5. When the trail corridor is curved, the alignment

shall accommodate:

of trail base, shall be 3 to 1.

a. A super elevation of 3%. b. Minimum radii of curvature in accordance to AASHTO guidelines. c. To transition the super elevation of the curve to a straight route or reversing curves, a 25foot tangent transition distance shall be required. 6. Where conditions such as limited sight distances make it desirable to clearly separate the two directions of travel, a double yellow line shall be used to indicate no passing and no traveling to the left of the centerline. A yellow centerline shall be used 100 feet from the intersection of the path with the public right-of-way street pavement. On the trail, permanent marking shall be installed with the installation of the paving. 7. The trail corridor shall accommodate a maximum lineal grade of no less than 0.5% and no more than 5%, or per the table in the AASHTO Guidelines, subject to the approval of the Village Engineer. 8. The trail corridor shall accommodate a slope on each path side, of between 2 to 4% grade slope away from path, and of at least 6 feet in width. However, on the side accepting the path drainage, a swale shall be allowed 3 inches deep over a 2-foot width. 9. If site conditions prevent the opportunity to accommodate a 2 to 4% slope away from the trail to a distance of 6 feet from pathâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge of pavement, then the Village Engineer may grant a waiver to #8. To grant a waiver, the following conditions must exist: a. Extreme site conditions that prevent conformance with #8, and the waiver shall only apply to the section of path where the extreme site conditions exist. b. The maximum slope allowed, from the edge

c. Only in severe topographical cases shall the gradual slope be waived on both sides of the trail. In those cases, accommodations shall be made to drain the trail along the lineal length of path, and not to the edge of cross section. d. Where a down slope exists immediately adjacent to the trail, a decorative safety rail shall be installed between slope and trail, with rail design approved by Village Engineer and Village Planner. 10. Trail pavement shall accommodate a minimum of 6-foot horizontal distance from trees, poles, wall, fences or other lateral obstruction, except where a waiver is granted by the Village Planner when the obstruction is unavoidable due to a preexisting condition or the obstruction is necessary for the safety of trail users, such as a bridge. 11. Trail pavement shall accommodate a minimum of 10-foot vertical clearance from any overhead wires, tree branches, low structural members of underpasses, or other horizontal obstructions. 12. Crossing of streams or wetlands shall be avoided if at all possible. If unavoidable in certain conditions, a trail corridor shall be selected that minimizes disturbance to the natural feature, such as crossing the stream or wetland at the narrowest point. 13. Developer/Subdivider shall be responsible for obtaining any permits required by Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR), or any other government agency, for the crossing of streams and/or wetlands. 14. At no time shall any creek, stream, or manmade or natural flow of drainage be allowed to sheet drain across the trailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface. In those cases, the design shall include a bridge or piping of the drainage below the crushed limestone base of the trail, so to not obstruct or interfere

MUKWONAGO MULTIUSE TRAIL STANDARDS with proper use of the trail. a. Bridge water openings and culverts or piping shall be designed to pass the 10-year recurrence interval flood flow of the stream, watercourse, or drainageway concerned without raising the upstream or downstream hydraulic grade line by more than 0.001 foot and without overstepping the bicycle way. b. In the case of a required WDNR permit, design and sizing of flow beneath the trail shall be according to the approval of the WDNR. c. In the case the WDNR is not needed, design and sizing of flow beneath the trail shall be according to the approval of the Village Engineer. 15. If a bridge is required to cross a drainage flow, then the following shall apply: a. Developer/Subdivider necessary permits.

shall

obtain

all

b. Design shall be as approved by WDNR, other government agency, or Village Engineer. c. Bridge shall have a usable width of at least 8 feet. d. Design precautions shall be taken at bridge approaches, such as aesthetic barriers or fencing, to prevent inadvertent bicycling off of the trail. For purposes of these standards, aesthetic means nicely designed fitting into the natural landscape. e. Developer/Subdivider shall be responsible for cost of bridge design, materials and installation. 16. The trail edge of pavement shall be located at least 10 feet from any property line in private ownership. If it is determined a fence is necessary to separate the trail from neighboring property,

E-4

the fence design shall be aesthetically pleasing and approved by the Village Planner. 17. The trail shall intersect a sidewalk and street pavement at a right angle or radial to sidewalk or street pavement. 18. All trails shall connect to a subdivision sidewalk or to street pavement to allow a continuous trail circuit. 19. When a trail is designed to connect to a street pavement and will extend across the street pavement, either with current construction or in the future, the trail shall cross the street at a right angle or radial to the street centerline. 20. Any trail intersection with street curb and gutter shall employ the design of a ramp from path to street level. The width of ramp and path taper to ramp, and other standards, shall meet the requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and Wisconsin State Statutes 66.0909 and all pertinent federal and state laws, and shall be subject to the approval of Village Engineer and Village Planner. Design could differ from location to location due to conditions at the location, anticipated amount of bike traffic, site distances, etc. 21. Where trails and sidewalks intersect, the concrete sidewalks shall extend through the intersection with the trails, with the asphalt trail continuing between the sidewalk and the edge of the street curb and gutter or pavement. 22. The Village Engineer, Village Planner, Police Chief and/or Fire Chief may require the design and installation of a bollard or gate system at trail entrances from streets. The bollard or gate system would prevent motor vehicle access to the path, while retaining an opening to allow free flow of bicycles or pedestrians. A lock system would allow emergency vehicle access to the path.

D.4 CONSTRUCTION

Construction standards shall be utilized conjointly with the design standards. Generally, construction shall adhere to the standards of Village Development Requirements. Where the standards are not specific to a trail, the following shall apply: 1. Remove all topsoil and remove subgrade to depth of at least 8 inches below adjacent match grade. 2. If the trail necessitates a grade higher than existing grade to facilitate proper slopes away from path, then remove topsoil of entire width to be disturbed (complying with permit requirements of protection of any natural site feature), and raise path base with clean clay and/or other suitable material. 3. Compact subgrade, with proper sloping as designed. 4. Install and compact 6 inches of 3/4 inch crushed limestone traffic bond, to a 10-foot width as illustrated in Figure 1.

5. Install 2-inch surface course Bituminous Concrete (State Gradation #3), leaving one foot of crushed limestone visible on each side. 6. Complete side slopes in accordance with design standards and fill 2 to 4 inches topsoil over exposed crushed limestone to edge of surface course. 7. Where trail intersects with street and trail is planned to continue across the street, paint onto street pavement a crosswalk according to the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards. 8. Install street warning signs indicating a trail street crossing according to the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards. All trail street signs within common space of a subdivision shall be maintained and replaced when necessary by the Homeowners Association. 9. Install trail signage (stop signs) at intersections with sidewalks/streets according to the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards.
