Public Meeting Announcement

  • Event: Community Public Meeting
  • Date: July 16th, 2025
  • Time: 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
  • Location: Ottawa Town Hall o Address: W360S3337 State Road 67, Dousman, WI 53118-9709

Meeting Purpose

  • The Wisconsin Department of Transportation has recently identified several roads within the state that may qualify for inclusion in the federally funded High Risk Rural Road Program (HRRRP), a component of the Highway Safety Improvement Program. https://highways.dot.gov/safety/hsip/hsip-special-rules/high-risk-rural-roads-hrrr
  • HRRRP is dedicated to incorporating low-cost countermeasures for improving hazardous run-off-the-road situations.
  • One important Waukesha County road, CTH Z, extending from Northey Road to Scuppernong Creek, is ranked as the 6th highest priority in the state for HRRRP safety improvements.
  • During the HRRRP evaluation period (2017-2021) CTH Z experienced 22 total crashes, including 11 run off the road crashes, 1 fatality and 6 serious injury crashes impacting 9 people.
  • The Waukesha County Department of Public Works is considering applying for federal HRRRP funding to enhance the safety on CTH Z through the installation of new pavement surface, centerline rumble strips, improved pavement markings, increased and improved signage, and the removal of trees and vegetation within the roadway clear zone safety area.
  • Before applying for federal HRRRP funding, Waukesha County would like to share project concepts, gather public feedback and measure public support for the proposed project.


We encourage community participation and involvement. Active participation and communication are critical to the success of this safety initiative, ensuring safer and more efficient roadways for everyone.


Questions about the project or public meeting can be directed to Ethan Moser, Waukesha

County Project Engineer @ 262-548-7748 or email to EMoser@WaukeshaCounty.gov

CDP BOUNDARY UPDATE MAP



SENT VIA EMAIL



PLANNER REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
TOWN COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT PLAN (CDP) MAP AMENDMENT

DATE:                                               November 2, 2020

PETITIONER:                                 Town of Ottawa
                                                            W360 S3337 STH 67
                                                            Dousman, WI  53118

LOCATION OF PROJECT BOUNDARY EXPANSION AREA:

Refer to Exhibit A.  

REQUEST AND ANALYSIS:

To amend the Adopted WDNR Project Boundary (Paradise Valley Wildlife Area of the Kettle Moraine State Forest „1¤7 Southern Unit) that is part of the Town of Ottawa’s Comprehensive Development Plan by incorporating the current adopted boundary limits (refer to Exhibit A).

The current area depicted on the Town of Ottawa’s CDP map is out of date and should reflect the current boundary line so those areas can be recognized for planning purposes when efforts to protect, preserve and conserve open space, wildlife habitat, the natural resource base, farmland and the rural landscape in the Town of Ottawa are desired.

The boundary incorporates lands with frontage along the Bark River, the state-owned Glacial-Drumlin Bike Trail, wetlands, woodlands, floodplain, various water resources, varying kettle moraine topography, wildlife habitat, some prime agricultural lands/lands that could continue in farming use, lands that could be restored as prairie, etc.

And while the updated boundary does include a few new parcels, it also excludes a few parcels currently included such as the Kettle Moraine Gold Course, as well as cleans up the boundary where lands have already been purchased.

PLANNER RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the request to amend the Town of Ottawa’s Comprehensive Development Plan map be approved.  Based on the above, approval of the request would update the Town’s CDP to include the current limits of the project boundary so that those areas can be recognized for planning purposes when efforts to protect, preserve and conserve open space, wildlife habitat, the natural resource base, farmland and the rural landscape in the Town of Ottawa are desired.  The proposed amendment complies with the objectives and standards contained in the Town of Ottawa’s Comprehensive Development Plan which includes the protection of both the rural character, farmland, and wildlife habitats of the Town.  These lands could provide not only public access to natural resources, but also wildlife habitat and public recreational opportunities, and continued farming opportunities, which in turn protect and preserve the aesthetic appearance of the rural landscape in the Town of Ottawa.

Respectfully submitted,
Sandra L. Scherer
