Recommendation

This item was brought forward by Ald. Cummings on behalf of the Garden Prairie Condo Association.  The condo association would like to have a regular standard street name sign installed at the roadway that serves their condo complex.  This roadway access is officially known as Garden Prairie Drive and it a private roadway that only serves the condo complex and is not an official city street.

Since the roadway is not an official street, the condo association would be responsible to pay the City of Waukesha for the signing materials and cost of labor to install the sign.  The City would also require an agreement from the condo association that they are responsible for the perpetual maintenance of sign.

If the committee agrees to have the sign installed, the City of Waukesha would have to obtain a permit from Waukesha County Highway Department since E. Racine Avenue is a County Highway in this location.  The County has responded back that they will allow the sign installation under permit.
