I hate to admit it, but it took me a while to figure out why VK Development would name the Ruby Farm/WTMJ project Percheron Square. The light bulb finally lit. (Somehow I thought the Ruby Farm horse barns housed Belgians instead of Percherons.)
Alderman Jerry Mellone, 6th District Alderman, sent out this email reminder today:
A
proposal for the new development at the Ruby Farms site will be made to the
Plan Commission on Monday June 9th at 7 PM. The developers are asking for rezoning to
higher density etc.
You
can attend the meeting but cannot speak to the Plan Commission. In light
of the flooding of this weekend, I feel it is important to note the density of
this development and the implications it would have to storm and sanitary
drainage problems to say nothing of the added traffic to our
neighborhood. Please note the traffic generated from this site will access
primarily onto Calhoun and not Bluemound.
Your
presence could make an impact. I hope to see you there. Please spread
the word.
Commission to look at Ruby Farm plans gives a thumbnail sketch of the project. Fairly Conservative's Percheron Square, Brookfield, Wisconsin provides an in-depth look at many details and concerns I was unaware of. Take a look.
VK Development is famous notorious for high density in their projects. People still are talking about Capitol Heights! It comes as no surprise he is looking for an increase in zoning.
If the ever increasing density of Brookfield's development concerns you, I would think it would be good to attend this meeting: Brookfield City Hall, Monday, June 9th, 7pm, Council Chambers.
