Lindsay Road driveway variance and culvert flooding

Pewaukee

Summary

A buried, non-functioning culvert on Lindsay Road is backing water into a historic barn and a mulch business, and semis can't safely turn out of the narrow permitted driveway. The city says the whole corridor floods and is slated for reconstruction with curb, gutter and storm sewer in its five-year plan, which may solve the drainage problem without a variance.

O'Hern Business Park culvert and driveway variance

Approving it would let 53-foot semis exit the site without running into the ditch and would restore drainage away from the barn and mulch business; staff argued the standard width is workable and the road reconstruction project may resolve the issues.
