BUSINESS OF THE PUBLIC WORKS & HIGHWAYS COMMITTEE
MEETING DATE: February 4, 2026
PLACEMENT: Action Item
ITEM TITLE: Purchase of traffic detection cameras from TAPCO for an amount
not to exceed $27,340.00. (ACTION)
SUBMITTED BY: Matthew Mortwedt, Public Works Director
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
As part of the 2026 Public Works Highway Division capital budget, $30,000.00 was allocated to
upgrade the traffic detection cameras at the intersection of Maple Road at Freistadt Road.
As discussed during the budget process, the current traffic detection camera systems in place
around the Village are no longer supported by the original manufacturer, Iteris. The lack of
support and replacement hardware, coupled with future traffic signal knockdowns, will make
system repair nearly impossible to maintain. Losing detection at an intersection will cause traffic
flow complications in the corridor served.
The Village currently has six signalized intersections which utilize camera detection (Holy Hill
at Goldendale, Maple at Freistadt, River at High School, Division at County Line, Buffalo Wild
at County Line and Appleton at County Line). By replacing one set of intersection cameras each
year, the Village will transition to a product which will be supported both from a software and
hardware standpoint. Staff will also retain the components removed from each intersection to
have our own “internal stock” of Iteris parts. This will help us maintain the old systems until
they can be updated.
TAPCO is our local traffic signal parts supplier. Due to the abrupt lack of support with Iteris,
TAPCO is now representing & supporting “No Traffic”, which is another detection camera
company. TAPCO is the regional representative of No Traffic, therefore staff was only able to
obtain one price of this product. That said, these prices are similar in nature to other traffic
detection camera systems, including Iteris.
TAPCO: $27,340.00
ATTACHMENT:
1. TAPCO Quote
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends purchasing traffic detection cameras for an amount not to exceed $27,340.00
and to forward this request to the Village Board with a positive recommendation. If approved,
the funds shall be allocated from capital account: 40562000-594400.

ITEM TITLE: Purchase of tar and mastic and an application trailer rental from
Sherwin Industries for an amount not to exceed $55,861.65.
(ACTION)
SUBMITTED BY: Matthew Mortwedt, Public Works Director
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
As part of the 2026 Public Works Highway Division operating budget, funds were allocated for
the purchase of asphalt sealant, mastic and mastic applicator rental.
Each year, staff self-performs crack sealing on roadways, as needed to improve longevity by
minimizing water intrusion into cracks. A large portion of this work is completed in conjunction
with and ahead of the seal-coating project. On average, the Highway Division applies nearly
40,000lbs of mastic and 25,000lbs of tar on area roadways. The product is purchased locally
through Sherwin Industries Inc. and the cost is listed below for review. Sherwin Industries is the
sole provider of this product in our region.
Crafco Asphalt Rubber Plus: $18,431.65
Crafco Mastic One: $30,030.00
Mastic application trailer: $7,400.00
ATTACHMENT:

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

application trailer rental in the amount of $55,861.65 and to forward this request to the Village
Board with a positive recommendation. If approved, the funds shall be allocated from the DPW-

PLACEMENT: Action Item
ITEM TITLE: Purchase of a scissors lift from Yes Equipment Services for
$21,647.80. (ACTION)
SUBMITTED BY: Matthew Mortwedt, Public Works Director
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
As part of the 2026 Buildings & Grounds operating budget, $25,000.00 was allocated to
purchase a scissors lift. This lift is necessary to maintain many of the mechanical facilities at the
new DPW facility, many of which are near the ceiling. Currently, when mechanical maintenance
is performed, contractors have a rented scissors lift delivered to our facility ahead of the work
taking place. These costs are passed on directly to the Village through contractor invoicing.
Having a scissors lift on site will allow both DPW staff and contractors to do the work necessary
to maintain our facility. Rented lifts have been utilized at other facilities for previous
mechanical repairs. While this lift will be stationed at the DPW, it can be easily moved to the
library, fire station and police department to offset future rental costs at these facilities as well.
Ahead of time, staff researched scissors lift specifications to verify it will meet the needs of the
facility. Staff contacted area vendors for pricing and the pricing is list below for review.
Yes Equipment Services: $21,647.80
Fabick – Cat $21,960.00
Ideal Crane Rental: $23,900.00

PLACEMENT: Action Item
ITEM TITLE: A three-year HVAC service agreement with Martin Peterson
Company for a total of $38,260.00 and a first year cost of
$12,850.00. (ACTION)
SUBMITTED BY: Matthew Mortwedt, Public Works Director
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Because the DPW facility is no longer under a construction warranty, an HVAC preventive
maintenance agreement is necessary for the facility. The HVAC equipment at the DPW facility
consists of air handlers, VAV-units, make-up air units and exhaust fans. The aforementioned
equipment is monitored and operated by an automated controls system. The proposed agreement
includes inspections and testing for all mechanical equipment and also includes controls system
maintenance. Staff solicited pricing from area contractors for a 3-year preventive maintenance
agreement and the results are listed below. Any repair that is not considered preventive would
be billed separately. By entering this agreement, the Village realizes a cost savings of 10% in
our hourly “street rate” for work necessary outside of the agreement.
Martin Petersen: $38,260.00 (over the life of the 3-year agreement). Yr#1 $12,850.00, Yr#2
$12,517.00 Yr#3 $12,893.00
PremiStar: $63,744.00 (over the life of the 3-year agreement). Yr#1 $20,832.00, Yr#2
$21,144.00 Yr#3 $21,768.00
Lee Mechanical: $67,938.00 (over the life of the 3-year agreement). Yr#1 $21,980.00, Yr#2
$22,639.00 Yr#3 $23,319.00
ATTACHMENT:

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends a 3-year maintenance agreement with Martin Petersen Company to perform
all necessary preventive HVAC maintenance at the DPW facility for an amount not to exceed
$38,260.00 and to forward this request onto the Village Board with a positive recommendation.
If approved, funds shall be allocated annually from the buildings & grounds operating budget:
10563000-551800.

ITEM TITLE: Purchase of a Trimble R580 Global Navigation Satilite System
(GNSS) unit from Seiler Geospatial for $18,291.44. (ACTION)
SUBMITTED BY: Matthew Mortwedt, Public Works Director
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
This is the budgeted upgrade for the existing unit used by the Public Works Engineering
Division. The new unit will have improved technology for better accuracy, but most
importantly will be much more efficient to use in the field. The current unit is nearly 20
years old and has difficulty acquiring signals which makes surveying extremely slow.

ITEM TITLE: Wastewater Utility Lift Station 6 Land Acquisition (ACTION)
SUBMITTED BY: Matthew Mortwedt, Public Works Director
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The acquisition of land to relocate Lift Station 6 has been part of the wastewater utility
budget for several years. In 2026, it was re-approved for up to $1,200,000.
The Wastewater Utility is interested in securing the parcel on the west bank of the
Menomonee River on County Line Road. Lift 6 currently resides on the east bank of
the Menomonee River, in the right-of-way adjacent to County Line Road and south of
the Buffalo Wild Wings Restaurant. The reason for interest in this land is 4-pronged:
1. The capacity of the lift station is confined in the current location. The need to grow
in the future, based on development, is not possible. Development in that sewershed is
likely in the coming years.
2. The lift station has not had a major rehab in 20+ years and, absent rebuilding it on
the other side of the river, that rehab project will need to become part of the 5-10 year
plan. In addition to anticipated mechanical and control upgrades, the well in Lift 6 is a
steel structure that has a defined period of life that will also need to be addressed. That
will make the rehab of Lift 6 essentially a replacement.
3. Development around Lift 6 has caused it to sit at a low point where it is at risk of
flooding. This was acutely witnessed in August 2025 when emergency measures
narrowly saved Lift 6 from being a total loss to flooding. The proposed location across
the river sits higher and is not as prone to flooding.
4. The relocation of Lift 6 could allow for the elimination of Lift 3 which could allow for
operational savings, but more importantly one less point of failure in the system.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff are requesting a positive recommendation of the land acquisition moving forward
to the Public Works and Highways Committee.

ITEM TITLE: Water Supply Service Area Plan (WSSAP) Review (ACTION)
SUBMITTED BY: Matthew Mortwedt, Public Works Director
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
State of Wisconsin DNR regulation NR854 required certain water utilities to create a
Water Supply Service Area Plan (WSSAP) by the end of 2025. The Germantown
Water Utility Plan has been drafted, and we now anticipate it moving through the
approval process. That will start with the Utility Advisory Committee, followed by the
Public Works and Highway Committee and then at a publicly noticed hearing at the
Village Board.
The plan is a study on sources of supply for the Village and is intended to look 10 years
into the future using an analysis of current supply, anticipated development, land uses,
etc.
Ultimately, the plan determined that, based on current supply and projected
development, there may be a need for an additional well at some point in the 10-year
window. The Water Utility currently has two options for a new well location:
- The addition of a deep well in the high pressure zone at the Well 12 location.
- The addition of a well in the primary zone near County Line Road and Lannon Road.
Alternatively, alternate sources previously evaluated may be evaluated again.
Though state regulations do not require examination of storage facilities, the analysis
provided some insight into that issue as well. Again, depending on development,
another tower may be necessary in the high pressure zone in same 10-year window.

Water Supply Service Area Plan • Germantown , WI
Water Supply Service Area Plan (WSSAP)
Executive Summary
Purpose
Wisconsin law requires communities serving a population over 10,000 people that withdraw
water from waters of the State to prepare a Water Supply Service Area Plan (WSSAP) by the end
of 2025. The purpose of this plan is to help the Germantown Water Utility ensure they can meet
water demands for the next 10 years. This is accomplished through a high-level analysis of the
existing and anticipated future water supply and storage facilities.
Existing Water System
Germantown’s water system is comprised of six (6) groundwater wells, two (2) water treatment
facilities, four (4) elevated storage tanks, one (1) booster station, and three (3) pressure
reducing valve vaults. An additional groundwater well will be placed into service in January
2026. The water distribution system provides a means of transporting and distributing water
from the water treatment plants and wells to the utility customers. Within Germantown’s water
system, there are three pressure zones including the Primary Pressure Zone, the Low/Reduced
Pressure Zone, and the High/Boosted Pressure Zone. The majority of the infrastructure is within
the Primary Pressure Zone, but the system can provide water between the three zones.
Water Quality
Raw water quality is generally good with the exception of radium and iron being present in some
of the water captured from the wells. Treatment is completed prior to the water entering the
distribution system. All treatment points are regularly monitored to ensure water entering the
distribution system meets all state and federal requirements for consumption.
Current Water Use
Germantown’s average day water demand is approximately 2.1 million gallons per day with a
maximum daily demand of approximately 4.2 million gallons/day.
2035 Water Use Projections
Germantown’s average day water demand in 2035 is projected to be approximately 3.0 million
gallons per day with a maximum daily demand of approximately 6.0 million gallons/day.
WSSAP Recommendations
Based on the supply analysis, the Village will have sufficient supply through the 10-year planning
period. In 2035, the combined reliable supply capacity is anticipated to be at 98%. In addition,
the High/Boosted Pressure Zone would have a supply deficit in the event of failure of the
booster station supply or discharge main. It is recommended that the Village continue planning
for two (2) additional deep wells. One will be located in the Primary Pressure Zone and the
second in the High/Boosted Pressure Zone. The Village should also plan for an elevated storage
tank in the High/Boosted Pressure Zone. Additionally, the Village should plan to monitor water
use annually and review the WSSAP a minimum of every five (5) years. Significant changes to
water use may adjust the timeframe for the recommended improvements.
Public Participation
The Village shall undertake a public participation process and invite comments before finalizing
the WSSAP. All comments will be incorporated via Appendix B.

1. Introduction
The Village of Germantown Water Utility is a municipally owned utility that provides water
service to residences and businesses within the Village’s corporate boundaries and a portion of
the Village of Menomonee Falls . The Village currently obtains water from six (6) groundwater
wells. A seventh (7) well will be placed into service in January 2026. The water from two (2) of
the wells is treated using pressure filtration and hydrous manganese oxide (HMO) addition at the
well stations prior to being discharg ed to the distribution system. The distribution system is
separated into three (3) pressure zones.
Wisconsin State Statue s281.348 requires all public water systems serving a population
of 10,000 or more that withdraw water from waters of the State to have a water supply service
area plan (WSSAP) prepared by December 31, 2025. Requirements and procedur es for the
WSSAP, established in Wisconsin Administrative Code NR 854 (Water Supply Service Area
Planning Rule), became effective On July 1, 2024. In response to the need for this plan, the Village
of Germantown retained Foth Infrastructure and Environment, LLC to prepare a WSSAP to meet
the requirements set forth in NR 854.
1.1 Purpose
The objective of the WSSAP is to develop a process that helps a water utility ensure they
can adequately supply their customers over a 10 -to-20-year planning period. The WSSAP is
intended to be used as a planning document and is not meant to contain the level of detail
required for an engineered facility plan.
The purpose of this plan is to provide background on the Village of Germantown’s existing
water system and water use, develop a high -level basis of criteria required to evaluate water
supply and storage requirements, and identify the required supply and storage improvements
necessary to serve the Village of Germantown over the next 10-year planning period until 2035.
1.2 Previously Approved Plans and Agreements
In the development of the WSSAP, the Village was requested to provide all previously
approved planning documents to ensure a consistent plan. Planning documents used in the
development of the WSSAP include:
◆ Village of Germantown 2050 Comprehensive Plan, Adopted September 26, 2022.
◼ Amendment No. 1 – Adopted May 15, 2023
◼ Amendment No. 2 – Adopted November 20, 2023
◆ A Regional Water Supply Plan for Southeastern Wisconsin – Planning Report No. 52,
SEWRPC, 2010.
◆ Community Assistance Planning Report No. 70 (2nd Edition), Sanitary Sewer Service Area
for the Village of Germantown and Environs, Washington County, Wisconsin, SEWRPC,
2023, 2025.
1.3 Scope of Work
The Village requested preparation of a 1 0-year WSSAP to accomplish the objectives set
forth in NR 854 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code. The primary objectives of the work are
listed below:
Page 50 of 172
Water Supply Service Area Plan • Germantown, WI Foth • 2
◆ Provide background information on the Village of Germantown.
◆ Determine the estimated water service area population throughout the planning period.
◆ Provide a summary of existing sources of supply.
◆ Provide a summary of the existing water system.
◆ Identify water quality issues in the Village’s existing sources of supply.
◆ Determine the Village’s projected water demand throughout the planning period.
◆ Summarize the basis of design criteria used for evaluating supply and storage capacities.
◆ Evaluate alternative water sources.
◆ Provide recommendations for future water system improvements and water sources.
◆ Provide recommendations for the analysis of consistency with other plans and
agreements, public participation, and submission policies.
◆ Prepare a report documenting all phases of the plan.
1.4 Location
The Village of Germantown is located in the southeast corner of Washington County,
Wisconsin. The Village is located north west of Milwaukee and approximately 10 miles west of
Lake Michigan. The Village encompasses a combined area of approximately 34.45 square miles.
The northern portion of the Village is primarily rural residential and agricultural. The majority of
the existing urban development is located in the southern central portion of the Village. The
Village is bound on the north by the Town of Jackson, on the west by the Village of Richfield, on
the east by the City of Mequon, and on the south by the Village of Menomonee Falls.
1.5 Water Service Area
The Village of Germantown currently provides water service within the corporate
boundaries of the Village of Germantown and a portion of the Village of Menomonee Falls. As
part of this Study, the existing water service area was approximated based on GIS data and billing
meter data. The ultimate water service area coincides with the sanitary sewer service area that
is anticipated to be approved by the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) and the
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) in early 2026. The parcels currently served
and the ultimate service area are shown in Figure 1-1. Parcels shown on the figure within the
ultimate service area boundary that are not served are either not developed or are served by
private wells. To determine the proposed service area at the end of the planning period , the
Village Staff identified all parcels they anticipate will be developed by 2035. These areas are
shown in Figure 1-1.
1.6 Land Use
Land use data, when combined with water use data, provides a basis for estimating water
demands throughout the Village of Germantown. Existing land use classifications used in this
report were based on current zoning information provided by the Village and are shown in Figure
1-2. The future land use for parcels proposed to be developed by 2035 was provided by the
Village and is summarized in Table 1-1.
1.7 Population Projections
There is generally a close relationship between a community’s population and water use.
As a result, it can be expected that water demands will increase as the population grows. Precise

statistics on population and the number of dwelling units are reported by the Bureau of the
Census for each decade. Population projections for each municipality in Wisconsin are
developed by the Wisconsin Department of Administration (WDOA) and the Southeastern
Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC). The historic population estimates and
WDOA and SEWRPC population projections are shown in Figure 1-3.
The water service area population was estimated based on the number of residential
customers that are currently served by the Village of Germantown. The water service area
population shown in Figure 1-3 does not include Village residents that are served by private wells.
It was assumed that by 2050 , the water service population will include all Village residents
currently served by private wells.
As shown, the population has increased slightly since 2010. WDOA is currently predicting
that the Village’s population will begin to decline. This decline contradicts the anticipated growth
previously projected by the WDOA and projected by the SEWRPC in the Village’s 2050
Comprehensive Plan. The 2035 and 2050 population, based on SEWRPC projections, is estimated
to be 26,304 and 30,766 respectively.
For the purposes of this Study, the projected population of the Village will be based on
SEWRPC projections. It was assumed that the growth will be linear from 2025 to 2035. The 2035
Village population and water service area population were estimated to be 26,304 and 22,400
respectively.
2. Sources of Supply
As part of the requirements for NR 854, the municipality is required to evaluate alternative
sources of supply. There are over 11,000 public water systems in the State of Wisconsin, of which
268 are located in Washington County. A total of seven ( 7) of the 268 public water systems in
Washington County are classified as municipal community water systems. Surface water and
groundwater are both used as sources of supply by communities in the State of Wisconsin.
Typically, smaller communities have relied on groundwater sources while larger communities
adjacent to major rivers, large lakes, or the Great Lakes have used surface water.

2.2 Alternate Water Supply Sources
Alternative water sources near the Village of Germantown evaluated for this Study include
surface water, groundwater wells, and connections to neighboring water systems. The following
are summaries of the alternative water sources for the Village of Germantown.
2.2.1 Surface Water Supply Source
The significant surface waters in the vicinity of the Village of Germantown include the
Menomonee River and Lake Michigan. The Menomonee River is not viewed as a suitable source
of supply for the Village of Germantown and is not being considered as an alt ernative supply
source. Lake Michigan is the source of supply for numerous communities in eastern Wisconsin
and is considered a suitable source of supply for the Village of Germantown.
2.2.2 Groundwater Supply Source
Groundwater serves as the primary source of supply for all seven (7) of the municipal
community water systems in Washington County, including the Village of Germantown. T here
are three (3) primary groundwater aquifers in the vicinity of the Village including the Quaternary-
age sand and gravel (Sand and Gravel Aquifer), Silurian-age Niagara Formation (Niagara Aquifer),
and the Ordovician -age and Cambrian -age s andstone formations (Sandstone Aquifer) . The
bedrock geology and known aquifers in the vicinity o f Washington and Ozaukee Counties are
shown in Table 2-4.
The Sand and Gravel Aquifer consist of outwash, glacial -lake deposits, or alluvium. The
thickness of the Sand and Gravel Aquifer varies based on location and is primarily considered an
adequate aquifer in areas west of the Village of Germantown. Generally, the Sand and Gravel
Aquifer is not considered an adequate source of supply in the vicinity of the Village.
The Niagara aquifer in the vicinity of the Village of Germantown is predominantly
comprised of dolomite rock. The Niagara Aquifer can be locally confined ; however, it is often
hydraulically connected to the overlying S and and Gravel Aquifer. Groundwater flow and
availability within the Niagara is often dependent on local horizontal and vertical fracturing, typical
of dolomite aquifers; however, more recent studies have shown that porous coarse -grained
stratigraphic units, specifically the Racine Formation and Mayville Formation (lowest formation
in the aquifer), can significantly contribute to well yield. The Niagara and underlying sandstone
aquifers are separated by the Maquoketa shale formation, which is considered a low-permeable
aquitard formation.
The Sandstone Aquifer includes all Ordovician and Cambrian rocks older than the
Maquoketa Shale formation. The Sandstone Aquifer in the Vicinity of the Village of Germantown
can be divided into hydraulically connected subgroups consisting of the Galena-Platteville aquifer,
upper sandstone aquifer, and lower sandstone aquifer. Of the three primary aquifers (Sand and
Gravel, Niagara, and Sandstone) , the Niagara and Sandstone aquifers are considered the most
suitable sources of water supply for the Village.
Water quality in the individual aquifers varies based on location. Overall, the quality of the
groundwater is fair to good; however, some water has characteristics that are unsuitable and
require different levels of treatment to be suitable for industrial and domestic uses. Chemical
characteristics of concern in the area include hardness, iron and manganese, sulfate, radium and
Page 57 of 172
Water Supply Service Area Plan • Germantown, WI Foth • 9
gross alpha, and arsenic. These characteristics need to be evaluated at individual sites to
determine the adequacy of the individual aquifers.

2.2.3 Connection to Neighboring Water Communities
The municipal community water systems nearest in proximity to the Village of
Germantown include the Village of Jackson located approximately 9 miles to the north, the Village
of Menomonee Falls located approximately 4 miles to the south, and the City of Mequon located
approximately 5 miles to the east.
The Village of Jackson is supplied with water from five (5) groundwater wells. The Village
of Menomonee Falls is supplied with water from three (3) groundwater wells and surface water
from Lake Michigan. The City of Mequon is supplied with surface water from Lake Michigan. The
surplus capacities and transmission capacities of these water systems are unknown and are not
currently being considered as alternative supply sources for the Village of Germantown.
3. Water Quality of Existing Sources
Water quality characteristics determine the level and type of treatment that is required for
a municipal water supply. Raw water quality can be generally based on inorganic, radionuclide,
and per/poly-fluoroalkyls (PFAS) characteristics. Water quality sample results obtained from the
WDNR public water system database were analyzed as part of this Plan. Inorganic raw water
quality characteristics from the existing groundwater wells are summarized in Table 3 -1.
Radionuclide raw water quality characteristics from the existing groundwater wells are
summarized in Table 3-2.
As shown in the tables, raw water from Well No. 4 exceeds the secondary standard for
iron, raw water from Well No. 12 exceeds the secondary standard for copper, and raw water from
all wells except Wells No. 3 and No. 4 exceed the secondary standard for TDS. Raw water from
Wells No. 3 and No. 11 exceed the Wisconsin DNR Maximum Contaminant Limit (MCL) for total
radium and gross alpha.
Raw water samples have been collected at the entry points to the distribution system and
analyzed for PFAS. The sampling results for PFAS are summarized in Table 3-3. As shown, PFAS
concentrations are all below the MCL in the treated water entering the distribution system.
4. Existing Water System
The Village of Germantown’s water system consists of a water distribution system, seven
(7) groundwater wells, two (2) water treatment facilities (WTF), four (4) elevated storage tanks,
one (1) booster station, and three (3) pressure reducing valve vaults.
The water distribution system provides a means of transporting and distributing water from the
water treatment plants and wells to the utility customers and other points of usage. Per the
Village of Germantown’s 2024 Water, Electric, or Joint Utility Annu al Report submitted to the
Wisconsin Public Service Commission (WPSC), the Village’s water distribution system consists
of approximately 66.8 miles of water main ranging in size from 4-inch to 16-inch in diameter. The
distribution system consists of three (3) pressure zones, including the Primary Pressure Zone, the
High/Boosted Pressure Zone, and the Low/Reduced Pressure Zone. The pressure zones operate
on different hydraulic grades, allowing the Village to serve a larger elevation range. A schematic
of the Village of Germantown’s existing water system is shown in Figure 4-1.

4.2 High/Boosted Pressure Zone
The High/Boosted Pressure Zone serves the northwestern portion of the Village and is
supplied by one (1) groundwater well (Well No. 12). Prior to discharge into the distribution system,
raw water from Well No. 12 is treated with sodium hypochlorite for disinfection and fluoride for
prevention of dental caries. There is one elevated storage tank that provides storage in the
High/Boosted Pressure Zone. Water Tower No. 4 has a volume of 500,000 gallons and is a
spheroid style tank.
4.3 Low/Reduced Pressure Zone
The Low/Reduced Pressure Zone serves the southeastern portion of the Village and is
supplied entirely by the Primary Pressure Zone. Water enters the Low/Reduced Pressure Zone
through three pressure reducing valve stations. There are currently no groundwater wells or
elevated storage tanks in the Low/Reduced Pressure Zone.
4.4 Interzone Transfer
The Village operates one booster station. The Goldendale Booster Station houses two (2)
service pumps and a flow control valve. In addition, a pitless style booster pump is located at the
Goldendale Booster Station site. The service pumps and pitless booster pump allow transfer of
water from the Primary Pressure Zone to the High/Boosted Pressure Zone. The flow control valve
can transfer water from the High/Boosted Pressure Zone to the Primary Pressure Zone.
5. Water Use
The analysis of present and past water use, as well as the projection of future water use,
serve as the basis for capital improvements planning for the water supply and distribution system.
Present and past water use was analyzed using water use information obtained from the WPSC
and the Village. From this information, basic water use design criteria was developed. When
applied to the land use and/or population data, the basic water use design criteria can be used to
determine the water use requirements at various stages of development. The following sections
summarize the methodology used to determine the basic water use design criteria.
5.1 Past and Present Water Demand
An analysis of past and present water demand was completed based on information
obtained from the PSC and Village. The total volume of water supplied to the users is measured
at the well stations. Water use factors that must be determined to design storage, pumping, and
pipeline facilities include average annual water use, maximum day water use, and peak hourly
fluctuations.
5.2 Average Annual Water Use
The volume of water supplied to the Village from 2014 to 2024 was evaluated to determine
the average annual water use. A summary of total water pumpage and total water sold is provided
in Table 5-1. The total average annual finished water pumpage (treated water entering the Village)
has decreased 19.4 percent since 2014 from 2.15 mgd to 1.73 mgd. The total water sold within
the Village’s water service area has decreased 18.0 percent since 2014 from 1.798 mgd to 1.475
mgd. For the purposes of this plan, a conservative existing average annual design demand of
2.10 mgd will be used for evaluating system capacities.

5.3 Historical Water Sales
A historical summary of the number of customers served and total water used based on
individual customer class is shown in Table 5-2. As shown in the table, the residential, multi-
family, commercial, industrial, and public water has been relatively constant. Overall, residential
water use consists of approximately 42 percent of the total retail sales, multi-family water use
consists of approximately 9 percent of the total retail sales , commercial water use consists of
approximately 20 percent of the total retail sales, industrial water use consists of approximately
27 percent of the total retail sales, and public water use consists of ap proximately 2 percent of
the total retail sales.
5.4 Non-Revenue Water
Non-revenue water includes the water that is pumped but not sold in the water system.
Non-revenue water consists of unbilled authorized consumption, apparent losses, and real
losses. Unbilled authorized consumption includes some metered uses such as wate r use to
prevent freezing and unmetered estimated uses such as hydrant flushing and fire protection.
Apparent losses include estimated losses due to unauthorized consumption (theft), data and
billing errors, and meter inaccuracies. Real losses include es timated reported and unreported
leakage. A summary of the Village’s non-revenue water is included in Table 5-1. The total non-
revenue water has ranged from 2 to 23 percent from 2014 to 2024 and averaged 15 percent. The
total real losses have ranged from 3 to 16 percent from 2014 to 2024 and averaged 11 percent.
For the purposes of this study, a non -revenue water use of 15 percent will be used when
determining water demands.

5.7 Maximum Day Water Use
The maximum day demand is defined as the amount of water pumped during a single day
of the year with the highest water usage. The maximum day demand is often expressed as a ratio
(or factor) of the annual average day pumpage. Maximum day demand ratios vary from
municipality to municipality based on factors such as population, primary land use, climate, and
economic status.
Typically, maximum day demands usually occur during the summer months, on hot days,
and during dry periods. The high demands are typically related to watering lawns,
irrigation/gardening, washing, and industrial cooling. It is important to note that artificial
demands caused by water main breaks, tank filling/overflows, or hydrant flushing b e identified
and excluded from the evaluation for determining maximum day demands.
Water records were analyzed to determine the maximum daily demand for the Village.
Maximum day demand is recorded in the annual WPSC reports. A summary of the historical
maximum day water use in the Village is shown in Table 5-5. As shown, the ratio of maximum
day water use to average annual water use has ranged from 1.55 to 2.15. The majority of the
maximum day demands occur during periods of high demands in summer. However, some of the
highest maximum day demands have historically occurred when one of the Village’s largest water
consumers takes their private well offline and exclusively relies on the Village as its sole source
of supply.
For the purposes of this plan, an evaluation was performed to determine the appropriate
maximum day demand ratio to be used for evaluating the water system capacity. A summary of
the evaluation is shown in Table 5-6. For the years 2014 to 2024, the average maximum day
demand ratio was 1.78, with a standard deviation of 16 percent. To evaluate the existing water
supply and storage needs for this plan, a maximum day to average day ratio of 2.00 will be used.
Even with the artificial maximum day demands, this ratio provides a confidence level greater than
90 percent based on maximum day pumpage ratios reported over the evaluation period.

5.8 Unit Consumption Values
Projections of customer demands serve as the basis for capital improvements planning.
Water consumption data for the Village serves as the basis for estimating future water needs
within the future water service area. All the residential, commercial, industrial, and public
customers in the Village are metered. The water data and number of customers for each
customer class are presented in Table 5-7. Water use and customer data can be used to develop
per capita and per customer unit consumption values and consumption values on an acreage
basis. The per capita and per acreage unit consumption values are necessary to determine future
water requirements for the design of supply and storage facilities.

5.8.1 Residential Water Use
Residential water use consists of dwelling buildings that serve a single family or two -
family unit through a single meter. Residential water use accounts for the majority of water use
within the Village. The residential water use was estimated based on gallon per capita day (gpcd)
and gallon per acreage day (gpad) basis.
The residential water use per capita was estimated based on 2024 annual residential
water use and estimated water service area population. The estimated water service area
population includes customers classified as residential and multi -family. A summary of
residential water use is shown in Table 5-8. A per capita average day water use of 50 gpcd will
be used for projecting future residential water use.

6. Supply and Storage Analysis
Reliable supply and storage capacity evaluations were performed to determine if the
existing water system could adequately serve the projected 20 35 demand requirements of the
Village of Germantown . The reliable supply and storage capacity evaluations and the design
criteria used for this evaluation are summarized in the following sections.
Page 73 of 172
Water Supply Service Area Plan • Germantown, WI Foth • 25
6.1 Reliable Supply Capacity Evaluation
The minimum reliable supply capacity for the combined system and individual pressure
zones should equal the maximum day demand with the largest source of supply out -of-service.
This will allow pumping units or treatment systems to be taken out -of-service for repair and still
enable the utility to meet demand requirements. This will also allow supply facilities to replenish
storage facilities during off-peak hours while depletion of available storage occurs during peak
demand hours.
As previously mentioned, no well s are located in the Low/Reduced Pressure Zone. The
sole source of supply for the Low/Reduced Pressure Zone is the Primary Pressure Zone. As a
result, for the purposes of this Plan, water demands within the Low/Reduced Pressure Zone are
included in the Primary Pressure Zone capacity evaluations.
For the Village of Germantown, two (2) criteria were evaluated to determine the reliable
supply capacity of the combined system, as well as each individual pressure zone. The t wo (2)
criteria included:
◆ Raw water (well) supply capacity.
◆ Interzone transfer capacity.
The raw water well supply capacity is the capacity of the existing supply sources (wells)
to supply water from the aquifer to the distribution system. For the purposes of this Plan, the
individual well reliable capacity will be considered as 100 percent of the design capacity of the
well when operating 24 hours per day. The total reliable raw water supply capacity for the
system/pressure zone is the sum of the individual well’s reliable capacity less the largest well.
The interzone transfer capacity is the capacity of the transfer pumps and/or flow control
valves to deliver water from one pressure zone to another pressure zone . The capacity of the
transfer pumps is based on several factors including:
◆ Available capacity in the source pressure zone.
◆ Capacity of the transfer pumps and flow control valves.
◆ Supply and discharge main capacity.
◆ Station operation.
For the Village of Germantown’s Goldendale Booster Station, the transfer capacity from
the Primary Pressure Zone to the High /Boosted Pressure Zone is limited by the supply main
capacity of 2,300 gpm and operation of the booster station. The booster station only allows for
either the pitless pump or the transfer pumps to operate at one time. A summary of criteria used
to determine the reliable supply capacity of each pressure zone and combined system is shown
in Table 6-1.
As shown in Table 6-1, the Village of Germantown’s combined system reliable capacity is
6.16 mgd. The combined systems’ reliable capacity is limited by the largest well, Well No. 7, being
out-of-service. The Primary and Low/Reduced Pressure Zones reliable capacity is 5.00 mgd. The
Primary and Low/Reduced Pressure Zones reliable capacity is also limited by the largest well,
Well No. 7, being out-of-service. The High/Boosted Zone’s 2035 maximum day demand exceeds

the total well capacity in the High/Boosted Zone, so there is no additional capacity for the transfer
valve to supply water from the High/Boosted Zone to the Primary Zone.
The High/Boosted Pressure Zones reliable capacity is 2.27 mgd. The High/Boosted Zones
reliable capacity is limited when the only well in the High/Boosted Zone, Well No. 12, is out-of-
service; however , the service pumps at the Goldendale Booster Station allow water to be
transferred from the Primary and Low/Reduced Pressure Zones to the High/Boosted Pressure
Zone. The allowable transfer capacity was determined to be the difference between the Primary
and Low/Reduced Pressure Zones supply capacity and the Pr imary and Low/Reduced Zones
2035 maximum day demand.
A recommended reliable capacity evaluation was performed to ensure the reliable supply
capacities could meet the projected 2035 water demands. The results of the evaluation are
shown in Table 6-2. As shown, the Village currently has adequate supply capacity to meet the
projected 2035 demands in the combined system and each pressure zone individually.

6.2 Water Storage Facilities Design Criteria
Elevated storage provides water for fire protection, peak demand periods use, and
operational flexibility for water supply facilities. Operating storage is required to provide a control
range to stop and start pumping equipment. Equalizing (peak hour) st orage furnishes the
increments of demand which exceed the capacity of the supply facilities. Firefighting reserve
furnishes the increments of demand imposed during a firefighting period that exceeds the
capacity of the supply facilities.
It is anticipated that the peak hour demands and reliable supply capacities will change as
the community grows and water supply improvements are implemented. The fire protection
requirements may change dependent on the specific development requirements. To assure a
reliable supply for fire protection, this portion of storage should be reserved for emergency use
only and should not be utilized to meet peak hour or operation requirements. The criteria used to
determine the optimum storage volume for this plan are as follows:
◆ As a minimum, the reliable supply capacity should equal the projected maximum day
supply requirements.
◆ The total available storage should be capable of meeting demands in excess of the
maximum day demand, as well as fire protection needs.
It is possible to reduce required storage volumes if there are excessive supply capacities
within the system or if it is possible to transfer water from one pressure zone to another pressure
zone. The following criteria may be used to offset storage requi rements when reliable
pumping/supply capacity exceeds maximum day demands:
◆ Peak Hour Storage: The reliable pumping capacity in excess of the maximum day demand
requirement may be utilized to offset peak hour equalization storage.
◆ Fire Protection Storage: Reliable pumping capacity in excess of the peak hour demand
requirement may offset the required fire protection storage needed for the duration of the
maximum fire flow requirement for the pressure zone.

If an automatic control valve (s) exists that allows water to be transferred from a higher
pressure zone to a lower pressure zone, the available storage in the higher pressure zone less the
sum of the peak hour equalization storage and the operations storage may offset the fire
protection storage requirement in the lower pressure zone based upon the available rate of water
transfer when assuming a fire at the most hydraulically remote location in the lower pressure
zone with the largest contributing control valve out-of-service.
The supply and storage analysis for the Village was completed based on the methodology
described above and the following design criteria:
Operating Storage: Approx. 30% of gross storage or top 10 feet of tanks.
Peak Hour Equalization Storage: As calculated based on a typical diurnal curve.
Fire Flow Storage: Primary Pressure Zone: 3,500 gpm for 3 hours (630,000
gallons), as determined by the Village Fire Department.
High/Boosted Pressure Zone: 2,500 gpm for 3 hours
(450,000 gallons), from previous recommendations.
6.3 Water Storage Facilities Evaluation
The results of the storage evaluation are summarized in Table 6-3. As shown and
mentioned previously, the Village water system has adequate reliable supply capacity to meet the
projected 2035 maximum day demands.
The optimum storage requirements are shown in Table 6-3. The optimum storage
requirements for the combined system, Primary and Low/Reduced Pressure Zone s, and
High/Boosted Pressure Zone are 2,079,000 gallons, 1, 744,000 gallons, and 780,000 gallons,
respectively. Based on the existing storage volume and available transfer capacity, the existing
storage will be adequate in the Primary Pressure Zone and inadequate in the High/Boosted
Pressure Zone in meeting the projected 2035 water demands. As a result, the Village will need to
begin evaluating options to either provide additional storage in this zone or provide additional
supply to offset storage requirements.
7. WSSAP Recommendations
As part of this plan, water system recommendations are provided to ensure the Village
can adequately provide water service to its customers over the next 10 years. It should be noted
that the recommendations of this Plan are solely directed to sources of supply such as wells,
surface water intakes, and connections to neighboring communities. This plan does not provide
recommendations for additional or redundant transmission or supply mains. While potential
deficiencies with elevated storage and transmiss ion mains are noted in the supply capacity
evaluation, further discussion will be required confirming the Village’s design criteria prior to
recommending these improvements.
Based on the supply analysis presented in the previous sections, the Village will have
sufficient supply through the 10-year planning period. However, at the end of the planning period,
the Combined System reliable supply capacity will be at approximately 98%. In addition, the

High/Boosted Pressure Zone would have a supply deficit in the event of failure of the Goldendale
Booster Station supply or discharge main. For these reasons, and to offset storage deficiencies
and be ready should a high usage customer connect to the water system, Foth recommends the
Village continue planning for an additional well. Future deep well sites have been identified in the
Primary Pressure Zone and High/Boosted Pressure Zone. The location of the well will be further
Page 78 of 172
Water Supply Service Area Plan • Germantown, WI Foth • 30
evaluated based on future development trends. The following sections provide summaries of
source water alternatives, and environmental and economic impacts associated with future wells.
7.1 Previously Recommended Sources of Supply
The Village is currently planning for a future well in the High/Boosted Pressure Zone , a
future well in the Primary Pressure Zone, and a future elevated storage tank in the High/Boosted
Pressure Zone. Well Station No. 12 has been designed to accommodate a future expansion to
house water treatment facilities required for a deep sandstone well. A rea for a future well site
west of Interstate ‘41’ in the Primary Pressure Zone has also been identified in a recently approved
development plan. The Village does not have a site selected for the future elevated tank. It is
anticipated that the tank will be located in the vicinity of Interstate ‘41’ on the south side of the
High/Boosted Pressure Zone. A schematic of the recommended water system is shown in Figure
7-1. With the addition of these wells and elevated storage tank, the Village will have excess
supply and storage capacity over the planning period of the WSSAP.
7.2 Alternate Source Evaluation
Alternative sources were previously evaluated. SEWRPC prepared a Regional Water
Supply Plan for Southeastern Wisconsin in December of 2010 (Report Number 52). The plan
included recommendations on the sources of supply for municipalities located within
Southeastern Wisconsin. The plan recommended that the V illage of Germantown convert from
using groundwater wells to surface water from Lake Michigan. This recommendation was made
to allow the deep aquifer to recover, reduce chloride discharges to surface w aters, improve
impacts on stream flows, preserve groundwater for other sources, and use available excess
production capacity at the Milwaukee Water Works. The Village is aware of the recommendation
but is not planning to convert at this time due to the complexity and cost associated with the
conversion. As a result, the Village is planning to construct additional groundwater well s when
required.
A Niagara Aquifer well site investigation was performed in the vicinity of the previously
recommended Primary Pressure Zone well site located west of Interstate ‘41’. Results of the
investigation indicated that a Niagara well would impact neighboring private wells. To eliminate
these concerns, a deep Sandstone Aquifer well was recommended for that location. To avoid
interfering with the existing Niagara Aquifer well, any future well on the Well No. 12 site would
also be required to be a deep Sandstone Aquifer well.
7.3 Recommended Alternative
The deep Sandstone Aquifer wells are estimated to yield between 800 and 1,000 gpm
based on similar wells in the Village of Germantown. The proposed well sites are not in close
proximity to other municipal wells so they are not anticipated to negatively im pact other well
yields. However, prior to moving forward with any new wells, it is recommended that a preliminary
well impact assessment be completed to determine expected potential interference between all
municipal and other high-capacity wells in the area.
Water quality concerns of deep Sandstone Aquifer wells in the vicinity of Germantown
primarily include radium and iron. It is anticipated that treatment for one or both of these will be
required with the proposed wells.

7.4 Environmental Impact
It is not anticipated that deep Sandstone Aquifer wells will have a negative environmental
impact on the surrounding area. The Sandstone Aquifer well in the vicinity of Germantown is
confined by the Maquoketa Shale. As a result, the wells will not be hy draulically connected to
surface waters and will not impact local surface water, wetlands, or flood plains.
7.5 Economic Impact
The economic impact of the future sources of supply is highly dependent on water quality
and site constraints. For planning purposes, it can be estimated that construction of a future well,
well station, and required treatment facilities will be between $3 -$5 million per well.
7.6 Public Participation
The Village shall undertake a public participation process to discuss the WSSAP. This will
include:
◆ Public notice of the proposed plan.
◆ A minimum of one public hearing on the proposed plan.
◆ Opportunity to provide written comment on the proposed plan.
Comments and responses from the public hearing will be included in Appendix B.
7.7 WSSAP Updates
The Village shall, at a minimum, review the Water Supply Service Area Plan every 5 years
and update the Plan every 10 years. Changes in water use and population shall be monitored by
the Village to assess the need to update the plan.

State of Wisconsin. (ACTION)
SUBMITTED BY: Matthew Mortwedt, Public Works Director
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The timing of the commitment needed to make salt purchases from the State of
Wisconsin WisDOT cooperative salt contract does not align with regular committee and
board meeting cycles. Staff anticipates receiving paperwork for the 2027 salt
purchasing window from the State in February and needing to make a commitment
before the March meeting. As opposed to just reporting the results, we are requesting
the authorization in advance.
We will make the salt order based on several data points:
- Salt used in the 2025-2026 winter season
- Historical consumption
- Inventory
- Consideration for the budget
ATTACHMENT:
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve staff to enter into an agreement with WisDOT to secure the 2027 salt
order. The payment will be made upon delivery in 2027.

of Village of Germantown land to WisDOT for additional right-of-
way at the intersection of Divison Road and STH 145 (Fond du Lac
Ave). (ACTION)
SUBMITTED BY: Matthew Mortwedt, Public Works Director
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
In order to accommodate the planned roundabout at Division Road and STH 145 (Fond
du Lac Ave), WisDOT is looking to acquire a small portion of land from the Village of
Germantown to serve as additional State right-of-way. They are also seeking a small
temporary land easement (TLE) while the project is constructed. The additional right-
of-way to be acquired by WisDOT does not affect future plans for the Village-owned
property at this location. The acquisition of right-of-way and the TLE will result in a
payment of $13,500.00 to the Village.

SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work for this assignment included:
• A personal inspection of the exterior of the subject property,
• A review of public record information concerning the subject property and other properties in the immediate
neighborhood and vicinity of the subject,
• A review of Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s right of way plat maps and construction plans as appropriate,
• A search for recent sales of vacant and/or improved properties similar to the subject property, and
• Verification and inspection of the sales relied upon in this appraisal.
• An investigation and analysis were completed to determine the Highest and Best Use of the subject both Before
and After the proposed acquisition has been accomplished.
• The appraiser also examined and viewed the survey stakes/markings that were placed by the acquiring agency’s
survey crew. These markings were set to mark or outline the area of the proposed acquisition. They are assumed
to be correctly placed.
• The universal rule known as the “Project Influence Rule” has been strictly followed during the preparation of this
appraisal assignment to obtain reliable results. The appraiser took careful steps within this appraisal and his
analysis not to consider any positive or negative influences on the subject that may be due to the proposed
municipal highway improvement project prior to work actually commencing.
• Wisconsin Statutes §32.09(6) indicates that in a partial acquisition, the compensation (market value) of the
proposed acquisition “shall be the greater of either the fair market value of the property taken (value of the part
taken) as of the date of evaluation or the sum determined by deducting from the fair market value of the whole
property immediately before the date of evaluation, the fair market value of the remainder immediately after the
date of evaluation, assuming the completion of the public improvement (before and after).” The appraiser has
considered the subject (property) of this appraisal, with both a before and after analysis, as well as under the value
of the part taken in his analysis. In this appraisal, the appraiser has placed greatest rel iance on the loss in value
(damages) resulting from the proposed acquisition to be the value of the part taken.
• The Unit Rule has been followed in the valuation of the subject without identifying any specific value to any existing
easements that may exist within the boundaries of the subject property or within the proposed acquisition area. It should
be noted that the acquisition plat does indicate that there may be several existing easements, such as utility easements,
found within the area of the subject and possibly into the proposed acquisition area. These easements will not be
valued independently in this appraisal but rather are considered as part of the subject whole parcel under the Unit Rule.
• The appraiser has completed this appraisal in conformity with appropriate Wisconsin statutes, regulations, policies,
and procedures applicable to the appraisal real estate to be purchased for public use. Also, to fulfill the USPAP
requirement of providing credible assignment results, and as required by WisDOT appraisal standards and
guidelines, the appraiser has not included, nor has the knowledge that any portion of the value assigned to the
subject property, nor any portion of the appraiser’s estimated loss in value, or damages, include items that are
non-compensable under Wisconsin laws and guidelines.
• This appraiser has been asked to provide an independent analysis of the likely loss in market value, or damage,
that may occur to the subject property. In doing so, the appraiser is acting as an independent, unbiased, third
party.
Client, and intended user of this appraisal
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), the appraiser’s client, is the intended user of this appraisal
report. WisDOT is the sole user, but the appraisal and other documents may be reviewed by others. As example, a copy
of this appraisal report will be given to the property owner to fulfill the disclosure requirements of Wisconsin Statutes
§32.05. The owner or others viewing the appraisal are not, however, considered to be an intended user(s) of this
appraisal report nor secondary users. They should address any questions or concerns to the acquiring agency’s
negotiation agent.
Purpose or intended use of this appraisal
This appraisal is intended to identify, or estimate, the loss in market value resulting from the proposed acquisition from th e
subject property, which will be utilized by the acquiring agency in their negotiations and subsequent acquisition of the
proposed acquisition. Possession of a copy of the report does not confer client or intended user status upon the holder,
and no use other than that described above is authorized by the appraiser. As an example, this report is not intended to
be used for mortgage financing nor to secure a loan.

Rights being appraised
Fee Simple Estate.
Jurisdictional exceptions
There were no jurisdictional exceptions required in the development of this appraisal report.
Extraordinary assumptions
This appraisal required the use of the following extraordinary assumption(s):
The proposed project involves the acquisition of the temporary use of a small portion of the subject lot. This area is known
as a Temporary Limited Easement (TLE). Any TLE area that is located on the subject lot is to be used temporarily and
primarily during construction of this project. As the State’s use of the land within the proposed TLE area is only temporary,
title to the land will remain with the owner at all times. Even though no permanent rights to the TLE lands are to be
exchanged, it is assumed that the property owner is due compensation for the State’s temporary use of the lands within
the TLE area.
The expiration date and term of the Temporary Limited Easement (TLE) stated within this report has been established
by the acquiring agency and based on the length of project construction. This date has not been recorded and has not
been identified on the Project Plat; however, the term of the TLE and the expiration date stated in this report is
assumed to be accurate and correct. In addition, since the construction contractor is typically unlikely to know the exact
date when construction is to be completed, the appraiser further assumes that the stated term of the TLE will supply
adequate time for the completion of the proposed project. The start date is assumed to be the day of the appraiser’s
final property inspection on September 10, 2025. For this appraisal, it is assumed that the TLE will extend from the
date of the appraiser’s final inspection of the subject property (September 10, 2025) to June 30, 2027. Therefore, for
the purpose of this appraisal the full term of the proposed TLE is assumed to be ro ughly 22-months, or 1.80-years, and
will terminate on or before June 30, 2027.
The acquiring agency did not supply the subject's current lot size to the appraiser. The size of the subject lot was
obtained from the local assessor's office and County GIS mapping system. The assessor’s office indicates that the
subject lot contains 4.748-acre (excluding any existing road right of way). This size appears accurate and is assumed
to be correct. The lot size of 4.748-acre is assumed to be the true and correct size of the subject lot.
The acquiring agency reports that the subject parcel does include 0.772-acre of lands that are located within the existing
road right of way of the subject’s abutting two streets (Division Road and Fond Du Lac Avenue). The existing right of way
is assumed to be under the control of the State and/or local municipality. As the existing road right of way is under
municipal control it is not under the owner’s control and offers no utility and no value to the subject proper ty. As such, the
net lot size of the subject lot is the actual and true size of the site. The net size 4.748 -acre is assumed to be the subject’s
correct lot size.
The subject had been improved with several special purpose buildings that have recently been removed (razed) by the
owner (Village of Germantown). There appears to be minimal site improvements remaining (small, paved parking lot &
asphalt driveway) on the site. However, it is assumed that the remaining site improvements will also be removed. It is
further assumed that they hold no value.
As the subject is owned by the Village, it is not assessed nor is it taxed. As any remaining site improvement found on
this parcel are not being impacted by the proposed acquisition or project, and as such, their valuation is not relevant to
the appraisal problem at hand. For this appraisal, it is assumed that the subject is a vacant lot and that its land value,
as vacant, is based on the value of similar institutional, light industrial, or business lots within the area. Also, it is
assumed that any existing improvements found on the lot are of no value.
The subject property is located in an area that does not have municipal water nor sanitary sewer service. As such, the lot
will need to be improved with a private well and on-site septic system. The apprasier did not find such improvements
located on the site and assumes that these systems may have been removed. However, for this appraisal, it is assumed
that the subject lands are suitable to support an on-site septic system and private well suitable for the institutional, light
industrial, or business use of the subject lot. It should be noted that the use of an on -site septic and private well is
common and standard in this area.

The appraiser is aware of no soil absorption, contamination, or bearing tests made on the subject. It is assumed that
the site has no adverse soil conditions or contaminants that would adversely influence the marketability and value of
the property.
The acquiring agency reports that the site does include 0.772-acre that is located within the existing road right of way. The
existing right of way is assumed to be under the control of the State and/or local municipality. As the existing road right o f
way is under municipal control it is not under the owner’s control and offers no utility and no value to the subject property.
As such, the net lot size of the subject lot is the actual and true size of the site. The net size of 4.748-acre is assumed to
be the subject’s correct lot size.
There is a small two-post frame sign located in the northwestern corner of the subject site. This sign is located in the Fee
acquisition area and will be removed as a result of construction. However, this sign is older and found to be in fair
condition. It also is a remnant of the previous use of the subject parcel and no longer applies to the subject’s use which is
currently vacant. It is the opinion of the apprasier that this sign holds no value. It is assumed that there will be no loss in
the subject’s market value once removed. It is also assumed that any other site improvements found on the site are of no
value.
It should be noted that the extraordinary assumptions are used to clarify information that was unclear or unknown at
the time of the completion of this report. Should any of these assumptions later be found to be inaccurate, the
concluded estimate of the subject’s market value and/or the appraiser’s estimate of damages (loss) could possibly
change. The appraiser reserves the right to review and modify this report should any of the extraordinary assumptions
offered above be found to be in error. Errors could result in an increased valuation or possibly a reduction in the
estimated damage amount. It is unlikely that any changes would result in a significant change or influence in the
conclusions reported in this appraisal.
Hypothetical conditions
This appraisal required the use of the following hypothetical condition(s):
A hypothetical condition, that the proposed public improvements, the acquisition for which this appraisal analysis has
been performed, do not exist, and have not been proposed, or adopted for the before -condition analysis of the subject
property. This hypothetical condition is based upon a federal requirement established by 49 CFR, Part 24.103(b) -
“Influences of the Project on Just Compensation,” which states that “The appraiser shall disregard any decrease or
increase in the fair market value of the real property caused by the project for which the property is to be acquired, or by
the likelihood that the property would be acquired for the project, other than that due to physical deterioration within the
reasonable control of the owner.” This hypothetical condition is further based upon Wisconsin Statutes §32.09(5)(b) which
states that “Any increase or decrease in the fair market value of real property prior to the date of evaluation caused by the
public improvement for which such property is acquired, or by the likelihood that the property would be acquired for such
improvement, other than that due to physical deterioration within the reasonable control of the owner, may not be taken
into account in determining the just compensation for the property.” The use of this hypothetical condition may have
altered the appraisal results, but not the estimate of loss as identified by Wisconsin Statutes.
A hypothetical condition, that the construction of the proposed public improvements, the acquisition for which this
appraisal analysis has been performed, have been completed as of the effective date of this appraisal, has been adopted
for the after-condition analysis of the subject property. This hypothetical condition is based upon Wisconsin Statutes Sec.
§32.09(6) which states that ”In the case of a partial taking of property other than an easement, the compensation to be
paid by the condemnor shall be the greater of either the fair market value of the property taken as of the date of evaluation
or the sum determined by deducting from the fair market value of the whole property immediately before the date of
evaluation, the fair market value of the remainder immediately after the date of evaluation, assuming the completion of the
public improvement and giving effect, without allowance of offset for general benefits, and without restriction because of
enumeration but without duplication, to the following items of loss or damage to the property where shown to exist.” The
use of this hypothetical condition has not influenced the estimate of loss as identified by Wisconsin Statutes.
In accordance with Wisconsin Statutes §32.09, the subject is appraised in the “after condition” under the hypothetical
condition that construction for the proposed public project is complete as of the effective date of this appraisal. As the
highway construction has obviously not yet begun, the appraiser needs to make the hypothetical condition to value the
property in its after condition under the assumption that the roadwork has been completed. The use of this hypothetical
condition has not influenced the estimate of loss as defined by Wisconsin Statutes.

Project ID: 2475-04-21 Parcel No. 2 Page 11 of 51
The subject property (Parcel No. 2 on the project plat) was, until recently, improved with special-use buildings and site
improvements. Most, if not all of the building features and site improvements, have recently been removed. Some minor
site improvements remain and most likely some below-grade improvements. For this appraisal, the subject has been
valued as if it were a vacant parcel, suitable, and able to be placed into its highest and best use and sold as a vacant lot
for institutional, light industrial, or commercial/business use. The use of this hypothetical condition will not diminish the
appraiser’s estimate of the subject’s loss in value.
Also, as required by state law and federal guidelines, the appraiser has not considered any changes or items that are non -
compensable. Although some non-compensable items and/or changes may reflect a change in value, state law (Section
§32.09, Wisconsin Statutes) prohibits the appraiser from considering such changes in his analysis and appraisal.
Therefore, non-compensable changes or non-compensable items acquired are assumed to be of no value as a
hypothetical condition of this report. The use of this hypothetical condition has not influenced the estimate of loss as
identified by Wisconsin Statutes.
Definition of value utilized
Market Value: 12 CFR Part 34.42(g), which regulates real estate lending and appraisals, defines market value as : “the
most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair
sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue
stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller
to buyer under conditions whereby:
1. Buyer and seller are typically motivated;
2. Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their own best interests;
3. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
4. Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and
5. The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or
sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.”
As required by the guidelines set by the Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions and as set by
WisDOT standards, in the valuation of the subject’s Market Value in Fee Simple Value (Fee Simple Interests or Estate)
the “Unit Rule” (also referred to as the undivided fee rule) must be followed. As such, the appraiser has valued the fee
simple estate of the subject property by adhering to the unit rule.
Exposure time:
Estimated length of time that the property interest being appraised would have been offered on the market prior to the
hypothetical consummation of a sale at market value on the effective date of the appraisal. Comment: Exposure time is a
retrospective opinion based on an analysis of past events assuming a competitive and open market.
The appraiser has developed an opinion of exposure time for the subject property. Following an analysis of market
conditions and discussions with knowledgeable real estate professionals, the appraiser estimates the exposure time for
the subject property to be roughly 75-days to 250-days.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT
The purpose of this project is the reconstruction of the STH 145 (Fond Du Lac Ave) and CTH G (Division Road)
intersection in the Village of Germantown. It is being undertaken to address safety at the STH 145 and CTH G/Division
Road intersection by reducing the high crash rate.
The project will extend along STH 145 approximately 400 feet to the west and 900 feet to the east of the intersection. The
project will extend along CTH G approximately 600 feet to the north of the intersection and extend south along Division
Road approximately 325 feet to the south of the intersection. While the Washington County Bicycle Map identifies STH
145 as a potential route for a side path under its “Build- Out Network”, this roundabout project will not construct paths due
the current rural character of this location. However, the project will grade the site soils to facilitate future path
construction. Although the plans will show the location of the future path, it will not be built by this project.

The project is needed to reduce the high crash rate and severity of crashes at the intersection. Of the 45 crashes reported
from 2016 through 2020, 26 of these crashes involved right-angle “T-Bone” collisions and another 5 involved left turns.
Approximately 20% of the crashes involved an injury.
Review of the data identified a single lane roundabout as the best alternative to address the angle crashes at the
intersection and reduce the likelihood of high-severity crashes. Lower cost improvement options implemented over the
last 6 years, including “traffic on STH 145 does not stop” signing, additional stop signs on the left side of NB CTH G,
shifting of stop bars, and red reflective strips on the stop signs, failed to reduce the number of crashes measurably.
The proposed project will be constructed in a single stage. Access to businesses and residences will be maintained during
construction, although detour routs will be available. The current construction s schedule includes the closure of STH 145
during the time of construction. Construction of this project is anticipated to start on, or about, March 1, 2026 and be
completed by June 30, 2027. Most direct roadwork is anticipated to be completed by the end of December 2026 with
minor landscaping and cleanup possible until June 30, 2027.
Seven (7) parcels located along this stretch of road are to have property rights acquired from them allowing for
construction of the proposed project to proceed. Most of the interests to be acquired are the acquisition of Fee Simple
interest in small areas as well as for the acquisition of the temporary use of lands in the form of a Temporary Limited
Easement (TLE).
The proposed project is considered to be an improvement for the area and a general benefit for all area property owners
and residents. This work and project will not be a specific benefit to any one property or property owner. The State of
Wisconsin fully funds the cost of this project. There will not be any special assessments charged to the property owners
affected by the project.
DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT NEIGHBORHOOD
Market Characteristics of the Subject Neighborhood:
Stage of Neighborhood Life
Cycle:
Growing – The area is an outer suburban, or rural like, area situated in the
mid to northern portion of the Village of Germantown in southern Washington
County. The area is agriculturally based and is considered to be growing
with the expansion of the suburban and outer residential growth. As with
most outer suburban areas, cultivated agricultural tracts or farms with farm-
residence, are separated by smaller single-family home sites. Many larger
tracts have been split to accommodate single-family home uses. Single-
family uses are the subject area’s primary use. In general, the zoning and
mixture of single-family and agricultural uses in the area are supported by
municipal zoning codes. Outer residential uses are in strong demand in the
area. Again, taking advantage of this demand, some agricultural parcels, or
portions of parcels, have been split and sold for residential use. However,
most farmland is held by owners that are reluctant to sell and are intent to
maintain their agricultural uses. The strong demand for residential uses, has
presented residential growth with no decline in growth or values observed
nor anticipated in the near future.
Supply and Demand:
Demand exceeds the supply - Supply for both residential lands and
agricultural lands are limited. Residential homes currently sell swiftly and
many at or only slightly below asking price.
Built up:
25% to 50% - The project area and general neighborhood has been an
established farming area that now contains a mixture of open farmlands with
scattered single-family residential sites. Demand for outer residential sites is
strong.
Location:
Rural or Outer-Suburban in Nature. As noted earlier, the subject’s project is
located in the mid to northern portion of the Village of Germantown. The
project itself is found at the intersection of STH 145 (Fond du Lac Avenue)
with CTH G (Division Road) in southern Washington County. Both STH 145
and CTH G provide access to the northern portion of Washington County
which is primarily agricultural based with strong demand for outer single-

family lots. Northern portion of project area extends into the Town of Polk
and Town of Jackson, as well as west into the eastern portion of the Town of
Richfield. Again, this area is becoming more suburban in nature as a result
of strong demand for outer home sites. The project area is outer residential
in nature.
Predominant Land Use(s):
Land uses in the subject neighborhood are predominant single-family
residential and agricultural uses. There are some scattered commercial and
business uses in the area, generally found at busy intersections, however,
this is minimal.
Neighborhood Boundaries: The general neighborhood boundaries are CTH F to the south, STH 164 to the west,
CTH M to the east, and Sherman Road to the north. Again, most uses are outer single -family home sites mixed
among larger tracts.
Other Comments: Predominant land uses in the project area are a mixture of agricultural and single-family
residential uses. Such uses are scattered throughout the project area. The area lacks sanitary sewer service
and uses must rely on on-site septic systems and private wells. Single-family parcels generally range in size
from slightly over 1-acre to 10-acres in size. Residential parcels, although varying in size, larger sized home
sites appear preferable by the market participants. Demand has been strong with quick sales of both residential
and agricultural lands. Both have seen appreciating values of roughly 3% to 6% per year over the past several
years. Demand for commercial and business uses are low as a result of the area’s lack of sanitary sewer.
Commercial/business uses are uncommon in the immediate neighborhood, but are anticipated to grow as
development and sanitary sewer service extends into the surrounding area.
DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY (Before Acquisition)
Physical Characteristics (Before Condition)
Current Use: Assumed to be a Vacant Parcel without any improvements.
Land Area/Site Size: A 4.748-acre lot made of 2-tax parcels used as one property.
Special Physical Characteristics: Corner Lot – Southeastern corner of the intersection of STH 145 and CTH G.
Topography: Level
Drainage: No Drainage Issues Known or Observed
Site Cover: Mainly grass covered, not wooded, without landscaping
Site Shape: Mostly Triangular in shaped, uncommon shape
Easements Encumbrances and
Restrictions: Other - Common utility easements are assumed. No other easements known.
Encroachments: None known or observed. None are assumed.
Utilities (Check all that apply): Water (Needed): ☐ Public ☒ Private Sewer (Needed): ☐ Public ☒ Private
☒ Electricity ☒ Natural Gas ☒ Cable/Internet
Access (Via): Driveway off Division Road (CTH G), a modestly busy 2-lane street.
Visibility from Roadway:
Subject overlooks STH 145, a well-traveled thoroughfare averaging 6,400 vehicles
per day (AADT 5/2023) to the north and CTH G to the south. As this is an outer
area, traffic adds little influence on appeal or value.
Additional Physical
Characteristics:
It should be noted that located in the northwestern corner of the lot, adjacent to the
intersection of STH 145 with CTH G is a small two-post frame sign. This sign was
constructed of two standard grade frame-posts with graphic displays on its two-
sides. The sign appears to be in fair condition and of no value. This sign is
considered an on-premises sign that is owned by the property owner. It will be
removed as a result of construction.
As the subject is located in an area that does not have sewer service available nor
municipal water service available, it is assumed that the subject’s soils can
adequately support a private on-site septic system and private well. Both are
common and typical for this area.

5 Year Sales History
Was the property sold or transferred in the past 5 years? ☐ Yes ☒ No
To the best of the appraiser’s knowledge, the subject property has not sold, nor has it been offered for sale, in the past five (5)
years. The appraiser has no knowledge of the subject property currently being under contract to sell or be transferred to
another..
Current Zoning and Land Use Restrictions
Zoning Designation:
I-1, Institutional Use – The I-1 district is intended to be applied to existing areas of
the Village which are under public or quasi-public ownership and where the use for
public purpose is anticipated to be permanent. In the future, public or quasi-public
uses shall be granted as conditional uses in appropriate zoning districts. Uses in
this district are to be municipal approved conditional uses.
Permitted Uses:
I-1, Institutional Use allows for a mixture of governmental and community service
uses as well as telecommunication, utility uses, and transportation uses. Many of
these uses are light industrial in nature and allowed in light industrial or business
areas.
Subject’s Current Use: The subject property’s current use is considered to be a permitted use. as a result
of its institutional styled usage.
Minimum Lot Size:
I-1 - A minimum of 7,200-sq ft of area. All lots must have at least 60-feet of street
frontage at the building setback line. The subject’s lot area of 4.748-acres (93,567-
sq ft) conforms to the minimum lot size requirements in the before condition. In the
after condition the subject’s site will continue to conform with the minimum lot size
requirement.
Minimum Setback:
I-1 Front Yard: Minimum 35-Feet us required.
I-1 Back Yard: Minimum 35-Feet Required.
I-1 Side Yard: Minimum 25-Feet Required..
Land Use Restrictions: None known other than that set by zoning.
Additional Comments:
As stated earlier, the subject is a double-lot that contains two adjacent tax parcels
of differing sizes. The smaller containing less than 0.1-acre, too small for use on its
own. They are currently used as one entity or one property and appear to be best
suited for use as one parcel. It is beyond the scope of this appraisal to determine
how or if these two lots could be split or divided. The subject is being valued as
one entity or one larger parcel.
LARGER PARCEL ANALYSIS
The concept of larger parcel or whole parcel is an analytical principle unique to eminent domain valuation and is an
essential step in determining the property to be appraised and therefore, essential to the determination of damages.
The “larger parcel” is defined in the Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal Third Edition as follows:
In Condemnation, that tract or tracts of land which are under the beneficial control of a single individual, or entity
and have the same, or an integrated, highest and best use. Elements for consideration by the appraiser in making
a determination in this regard are contiguity, or proximity, as it bears on the highest and best use of the property,
unity of ownership, and unity of highest and best use.
Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions indicate the following about the larger parcel:
It should be noted, however, that since unity of use is one of the elements for an integrated unit, it would not
necessarily follow that a continuous body of land in the same ownership constitutes a unit for valuation if the
highest and best use for various parts are different. Failure to value the property as an integrated unit should,
however, always be explained and supported.

RE1005
Project ID: 2475-04-21 Parcel No. 2 Page 15 of 51
In determining the larger parcel to be appraised, the appraisers must consider three main factors in his analysis and
factors must be met to formulate the larger parcel. The primary factors are as follows:
Unity of Title: This is generally referred to as equal legal control over the ownership and future use of the
land or tracts in question.
Contiguous Location (Unity of Location): In general, separate parcels or tracts can be considered as parts of
the larger parcel if they are neighboring parcels and only reasonably physically separated so that they are or
can be used as one.
Unity of Use: Unity of use is typically not restricted to parcels that are not reasonably separated. The appraisers
must determine if it is reasonably probable that separate parcels or tracts would sell as one integrated single
entity even when reasonably separated. If it can be shown that parcels would be sold separately as
individual tracts a nd not as one larger parcel then each parcel should be considered a separate larger parcel.
The local assessor’s office has indicated that the owner of the subject parcel does indeed own other tax parcels in the
area of the subject property to be appraised. One of these parcels is located directly across the street, west of Division
Road, and is separated from the subject lands being appraised by Division Road. As such, this addition al lot does not
share unity of location. Even though it shares unity of ownership (title), it does not meet the requirements stated above
and has been determined not to be a part of the larger parcel to be appraised. The current owner also owns lands located
immediately to the south of the subject lands being appraised. These lands do share unity of location as well as unity of
ownership; however, they are improved with several storage buildings as well as a portion improved with a baseball field
and are used as a municipal park. As the subject is currently vacant and well suited for commercial/business use, these
southern abutting lands do not share unity of use. They are not considered as part of the larger parcel that is being
appraised.
The plat and aerial photos/sketches included within this report and its addenda depict the subject’s larger parcel being
appraised. The larger parcel consists of two tax parcels that share unity of ownership (title), unity of location, and unity of
use as both are now vacant and suitable for commercial/business use. These two tax parcels have a combined total land
area of 4.748-acre. They are identified as assessor’s parcel numbers GTNV 153-991 & 153-992. Again, it should be noted
that the subject parcel is comprised of these two tax parcel and these two parcels are best suited for use as one larger
parcel (property), partly a result of its triangular corner shape and the small size of one of these tax parcels. For this
appraisal, these two tax parcels are considered to be the larger parcel being appraised, as one property with a total
combined net acreage of 4.748-acre. Again, there are several plat maps and aerial photographs within the addendum that
depict the subject’s whole or larger parcel (subject property). For simplicity, it will be referred to in this report as the
subject property.
HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF SUBJECT PROPERTY
The appraiser has analyzed the four criteria (four tests) for establishing the highest and best use of the subject property
(legally permissible, physically possible, financially feasible and maximally productive). Based upon the legally permissible
uses identified in the Current Zoning section of this report, the physical characteristics (physical possibilities) identified in
the description of the subject property, the market conditions (financial feasibility) identified in the description of the
subject area and neighborhood and the maximally productive use determined by an analysis of the sales data identified
thru the appraiser’s value development research, the highest and best use of the subject property in the before condition
is as if vacant for institutional, light industrial, or business use as a legal and conforming parcel.
The highest and best use of the remainder of the subject property in the after condition has not changed as a result of the
proposed acquisition and subsequent construction project. Therefore, the highest and best use of the subject property in
the after condition is as if vacant for institutional, light industrial, or business use as a legal and conforming parcel .
Note; Currently the highest and best use of the property in the Before and After Condition is for commercial/business use
as one parcel or one lot that is comprised of two tax parcels totaling 4.748-acres. The combined lot size of these two tax
parcels provides a more reasonable site that would be suitable for more uses under the subject’s highest and best use.
Considering its triangular shape, location at the intersection of two busy streets, need to provide for on -site septic system,
and as well as on-site parking and setbacks, the combined lot size is more acceptable by market participants and likely
would produce a greater value in comparison should the two tax parcels be valued separately. Again, the smaller of these
Page 103 of 172
Wisconsin Department of Transportation
Dated: 10/2022
RE1005
Project ID: 2475-04-21 Parcel No. 2 Page 16 of 51
two tax parcels contains less than 1.0-acre and is not suitable for use as a separate or independent parcel. Its only use is
to be combined with the other lot that shares unity of ownership, unity of location, thus sharing unit of use.
The apprasier also considered single-family use for the subject parcel as a possible alternative use. However, the parcel
is not currently zoned for residential use and would require a zoning change to be approved and supported by the Village
for such a use. Such a change does not appear likely. Further, the subject property is not well suited for residential use
due to its location at a busy intersection, the abutting storage buildings to the south and the current municipal salt-storage
facility found to the west. Such inharmonious uses would detract greatly from the appeal and likelihood of residential use
of the subject parcel. A commercial, or business use of the site would appear more reasonable, legally permissible,
physically possible, financially feasible and maximally productive. Such use would also likely be well supported by local
zoning and planning officials as this use closely follows that outlined in the Village’s 2035 land use plan.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PERMANENT ACQUISITIONS
Acquisition Description
Fee (Land Acquired): 0.210-acre being acquired
Access Rights: None being acquired
Existing Road Right of Way: 0.772-acre being acquired
Highway Easement: None being acquired
Permanent Limited Easement: None being acquired
Improvements Acquired: As noted earlier, an on-premises sign and some minor site improvements were
found on the site. However, this sign and any surviving site improvements are
assumed to hold no value and can easily be removed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY (After Acquisition)
The proposed acquisition includes the full and total acquisition of several areas that contains a total of 0.210-acre
(9,153-sq ft) of the subject lot. The majority of this 0.210-acre area is an irregular triangular shaped area that covers
the northwestern corner of the subject lot. It then extends a short distance south along the subject’s Division Road
frontage. There is also a very small triangular shaped strip that is found in the northeastern corner of the lot, along the
lot’s STH 145 frontage. The Fee acquisition will reduce the size of the lot, change it shape slightly, and reduce it value.
The majority of the Fee acquisition area is grass covered and does not contain any site improvements, landscaping, or
buildings. No other changes will occur to the property because of the proposed Fee acquisition.
Located within the proposed Fee acquisition area is the subject’s two-post sign. This sign will be acquired and removed
because of this project. This two-post sign is an on-premises sign that was found to be in fair condition and of no value.
Its removal will not diminish the market value of the subject property.
The proposed acquisition also includes the temporary use of several small strips or small area that total 0.041-acre
(1,807-sq ft). These areas are known as Temporary Limited Easements or TLE. The TLE area is comprised of two
small and relatively narrow strips that extend a short distance along the subject’s STH 145 (Fond Du Lac Avenue). The
proposed TLE acquisition areas extend across a small portion of the subject’s STH 145 frontage, but not all of the
frontage.
As noted earlier, roughly 0.772-acre (19,692-sq ft) of the existing road right of way is to be transferred to the acquiring
agency as a part of this project. This is being done to clarify the ownership of the lands located within the road and to
remove these lands from the tax roll. It is assumed that this will occur prior to the completion of the proposed project. It
should be noted that as the 0.772-acre of right of way offers no utility to the subject property, its removal will not reduce or
negatively impact the subject property.

VALUATION ANALYSIS
The valuation analysis of the subject property has considered all three approaches to value:
• The sales comparison approach - There is adequate comparable sales data available to support the sales
comparison approach, which will be utilized to value the subject’s site as if vacant.
• The cost approach – The subject property is currently improved; however, the proposed acquisition and
subsequent construction project will have no impact on the value of the primary buildings. Therefore, the
contributory value of the subject’s improvements (including all site improvements as well as primary buildings)
will be recognized through the utilization of the equalized assessed value of the improvements as established
by the local assessing authority. The Cost Analysis will not be used in this appra isal.
• The income capitalization approach – The proposed acquisition includes only land and minor site
improvements and will not affect the subject’s primary buildings or affect the income generating potential of the
remainder in the after-condition. The valuation of the land and site improvements acquired does not support
the use of the income capitalization approach, so the income approach will not be employed.
When considering the three approaches to value, the appraiser must keep in mind that the subject property is being
analyzed and valued under the Unit Rule (see earlier sections of this report) with all potential property interests being
valued together as if under a single ownership. Again, this is required as Wisconsin follows the “unit rule” for valuation
of acquisitions of interests in land pursuant to eminent domain. Under the unit rule, the manner in which the land is
owned, or the number of owners, does not affect the value of the property. When property that is held in partial estates
by multiple owners is condemned, the condemnor provides compensation by paying the value of an undivided interest
in the property rather than by paying the value of each owner’s partial interest. Easements or partial interests in land
are generally not considered in the before valuation (before condition). An easement in gross, such as a utility
easement that is an interest granted to the utility for the installation and maintenance of a utility facility, does not tie the
benefits or burdens of a servitude to the land, and may be personal or transferable. Therefore, valuation of an
undivided interest in the land includes compensation for all parties with an interest in the subject property.
Valuation of Subject Land
The subject’s lot (land) will be valued using the sales comparison approach. The analysis will be supported through the
use of four (4) recent sales of comparable commercial/business vacant lots from within the Germantown area. The
appraiser sought sales of light industrial, commercial/business lots of similar size, without sanitary sewer, and of similar
location as the subject for this analysis. The sales utilized are similar in many features to the subject parcel. However,
as sanitary sewer is generally a primary requirement for commercial or business uses, such sales were found to be
very limited. As a result, several older sales and sales more distant from the subject were utilized. A further description
of the comparable sales used in this analysis is contained in the addendum of this report.
These comparable parcels were compared to the subject lot for differences in features and characteristics. The
differences were used to establish the subject’s site value. To do so, percentage adjustments have been made for
differences between the sales and the subject site. These adjustments reflect the comparable properties inferiority or
superiority to the subject property. Amenities or features without adjustments are considered to be essentially equal to
the subject property and/or not having a measurable impact, and therefore an adjustment would not be necessary.
Minor differences reflect minimal adjustments, with substantial adjustment being 25% or more. Again, features or
differences with no adjustment are considered to be essentially equal to the su bject property and/or not having a
measurable impact on value. This analysis provides a reasonable and market supportable value estimate for the
subject. The following is an analysis of the comparable data identified:

General Comments on Land Value
The appraiser found that the unit of comparison most recognized by the market is the price per acre. In this appraisal,
and analysis, comparisons are based on this standard. The appraiser tried to locate comparable lot sales that, like the
subject, are small sized lots in urban or outer suburban settings within or near Germantown. However, as seen in the
chart above, many of the sales differed slightly in terms of features and amenities. Adjustments for differences between
the subject and the sales were made to offer an indication of the subject’s unit value. Adjustments for differences were
based on both qualitative and quantitative analysis completed by the appraiser. Such analysis included paired -sales
analysis, simple linear regression analysis, as well as information obtained from area Brokers and the local MLS
system. A brief summary of the major adjustments required follows:

Market Conditions (Time): From a review of area sales, it was determined that the area has seen good demand and
improved market conditions over the past several years, primarily due to improvements in the area’s economy and
strong demand for real estate in the area. Market conditions are expected to continue improving within the subject
neighborhood. A review of area land sales would suggest that the area’s real estate market has been somewhat active
with appreciating values. To reflect the area’s upward changes in market conditions (appreciation), all sales used in
this analysis were adjusted upward at the rate of roughly 4% per year from their date of sale.
Size: An analysis of area lot sales indicated that larger lots sell at a lower unit value than smaller lots. Several of the sales ,
Land Sales No. 1, 2, and 3, are smaller sized lots as compared to the subject. As smaller lots sell at higher unit values,
these sales were adjusted downward to reflect the subject’s larger lot site. As Land List No. 4 is larger in size as
compared to the subject lot, it was adjusted upward.
Shape (Configuration): Like the subject, Land Sale No. 2 is an uncommonly triangular shaped lot. As the market considers
lots of standard shapes as offering greater usable area, thus allowing for greater utility, they are perceived as being
preferable by market participants. Buyers slightly discount sites that are uncommonly shaped as they offer less utility
when compared to standard shaped lots As Land Sales No. 1, 3, and 4 are commonly shaped lots, superior to the subject
lot, each was adjusted downward to reflect the more desirable configuration. No adjustment was required to Land Sale
No. 2 as its shape is similar to the subject lot.
Corner Sites: An analysis of the market indicates that there is a preference for corner commercial /business lots over
interior lots. Buyers consider corner lots as being preferable for commercial/business uses as they typically have greater
visibility and often provide better access than interior lots. As the subject is a corner lot, a n upward adjustment was made
to Land Sales No. 2 and 4 as they are inferior interior lots. Land Sales No. 1 and 3, like the subject, are corner lots and no
adjustment was required to these parcels.
Location: All the sales are from the subject’s general market area; however, Land Sale No. 2 is found in a more
suburban area with greater commercial/business uses and is superior to the subject in its location. It was adjusted
downward to reflect its superior appeal and value as a result of its superior location over the subject parcel.
View/Site Orientation: All the sales are from the subject’s general market area and are influenced by similar economic
conditions and neighborhood factors as the subject. However, unlike the subject, Land Sale No. 4 overlooks a heavily
traveled highway (I-45) along its rear lot line. As this parcel is highly visible from I-45, market participants prefer its
orientation. It was adjusted downward to reflect its superior orientation over the subject. The orientation of the other land
sales is considered very similar to the subject and no adjustments were required.
Septic vs. Sewer: Unlike the subject, Land Sales No. 1 and 2 are improved with sanitary sewer, a feature regarded by the
market as far superior to lots with private septic systems. A sizable downward adjustment was made to Land Sales No. 1
and 2 to reflect the subject’s lack of sewer service. Like the subject, Land Sales No. 3 and 4 also must have on-site septic
systems and no adjustments were required to these two parcels.
Conclusion of Land Value
After adjustments, the unit value for the subject was found to fall within a relatively narrow range of values. The
adjusted sales indicated a unit value for the subject lot that ranged from $5 3,700 per acre to $65,600 per acre
(rounded). The average unit value was found to be $59,400 per acre with a median value of $59,300 per acre
(rounded). The average and median unit values would suggest a unit value for the subject that is slightly below
$60,000 per acre. Of the four sales used in this analysis, three fell between a unit value of $59,100 per acre (rounded)
to $65,600 per acre. Only one fell below $59,100 per acre. This offers support for a unit value for the subject that is
above the average and median values. It should be noted that strong consideration was placed on Land Sales No. 3
and 4 as they, like the subject, lack sanitary sewer service. As they are found in a slightly more outer location, the
subject’s unit value is anticipated to fall above their value indications. The range set by the adjusted sales, a simplified
statistical analysis, as well as the subject site’s concluded value, can be found in the following table:

Wisconsin Department of Transportation
Dated: 10/2022
RE1005
Project ID: 2475-04-21 Parcel No. 2 Page 20 of 51
Based upon my analysis of the subject’s site, the available sales data, and dependent on the assumptions and limiting
conditions contained herein, it is my opinion that the estimated unit value of the subject lot is $62,000 per acre. Based
on the unit value of $62,000 per acre, the market value of the subject lot was found to be $294,400 (4.748 -acre x
$62,000 per acre, rounded).
Conclusion of Subject’s Before Value
The appraiser estimates the contributory value of the subject lot at $294,400. As stated earlier, the subject is being
valued under the hypothetical condition that it is a vacant lot without improvements. As it is being valued as a vacant
lot, the sales comparison approach to value is the only applicable approach to be considered in the valuation of the
subject. The appraiser concludes the subject’s market value, before the proposed acquisition , to be $294,400 (Land
Only).
It is the opinion of the appraiser that the Before Value of the subject property is $294,400 .
AFTER CONDITION VALUATION ANALYSIS
Contributory Value of Remaining Lot: As stated earlier, there will be a minor change in size and shape to the subject lot
resulting from the proposed acquisition. The proposed fee acquisition will reduce the lot’s size by 0.210 -acre. Once the
acquisition has been completed, the lot will contain 4.538-acre (4.748-acre less 0.210-acre, rounded). There is no direct
indication that the unit value of the lot will change as a result of the Fee acquisition and it will remain at $62,000 per acre
after the acquisition has been completed (After Condition). The estimated value of the subject’s lot in the After Condition
was found to be $281,400 (4.538-acre x $62,000 per acre, rounded to $281,400). The subject lot will see a loss in its
market value of $13,000 ($294,400 less $281,400 = $13,000, rounded) as a result of the proposed fee acquisition.
Contributory Value of Existing Road Right-of-way:
The proposed acquisition also includes some of the lands found within the existing right-of-way that is located within
the Fond Du Lac Avenue and Division Road roadway. However, the acquisition plat does not clearly identify these
lands or their location. It is assumed that they are found within both of the existing abutting streets. The 0.772-acre of
lands that are located within the eastern portion of the existing right-of-way are to be acquired and transferred to the
acquiring agency as a part of this project. This is being done to clarify its ownership of the road and to remove the road
right-of-way from the tax roll. The acquiring agency reports that 0.772-acre is located within the existing road right-of-
way. Based upon the Wisconsin Supreme Court Case, Joint School District No. 1, Town of Greenfield v. Bosch et. al.,
the underlying fee rights are assumed to have no contributory value to the larger parcel and no damages will be
indicated for the underlying fee rights acquired. Also, as the lands located within the existing road right-of-way are
under the control of the WisDOT (acquiring agency) and not under the control of the property owner, this 0.772 -acre
contributes no value to the subject property. Therefore, the 0.772-acre of existing road right-of-way that is to be
acquired by the WisDOT has no market value (i.e., holds no value). The inclusion of this area as part of the acquisition
will not detract from the market value or appeal of the subject property.
Also, as indicated earlier, there is a two-post frame sign that is located in the proposed Fee acquisition area. This sign will
be removed as a result of the Fee acquisition. The removal of this sign will not diminish the market value of the subject
property.

Conclusion of Subject’s After Value
The estimated After Value of the subject property was found to be $281,400. As indicated above, this was determined
by applying the unit value of $62,000 per acre to the remaining lot of 4.538-acre. The following chart also summarizes
the appraiser’s findings of the subject’s market value after the acquisition has taken place.
It is the opinion of the appraiser that the After Value of the subject property is $281,400 .
TEMPORARY LIMITED EASEMENT
The proposed acquisition includes a temporary limited easement (TLE) that will be utilized for the proposed construction
project. There are two potential elements of value loss or compensation resulting from the acquisition of a TLE. The
compensation for the actual occupation and use of the affected land (the TLE itself) and the contributory value of the
landscaping/site improvements removed as a result of the use of the TLE. This section of the appraisal report only
addresses the compensation for the use of the land within the TLE. The potential loss of site improvements and
landscaping items have been addressed earlier in this report.
Acquisition Description
Temporary Limited
Easement (TLE):
Size: 0.041-acre - The TLE is two small areas, one along the northeastern
portion of the subject’s Fond du Lac Avenue frontage with the other found in the
southeastern corner frontage of Fond du Lac Avenue. Ownership of the lands
within the TLE will remain with the property owner. Owner’s use will be restricted
somewhat during construction. The expiration date used to estimate the
compensation for the use of the land within the TLE is June 30, 2027. This date
was provided by the State as part of the appraisal assignment and is utilized
under an extraordinary assumption. The start date is assumed to be the
appraiser’s final inspection of the property, September 10, 2025. Again, the lawn
and drive area located in the TLE area will be restored/repaired, in-kind, if
damaged by constriction.
The compensation for the use of the land within the TLE is estimated based upon an annual rent calculation using
an annual yield rate applied to the estimated value of the affected land. The size of the affected area (TLE) as
identified earlier in this report, and the term of the TLE was identified earlier in this report at 22-months or 1.80-
years. The value of the affected land has been estimated as part of the reported appraisal analysis. The Annual
Yield Rate (rent) has been estimated by the appraiser and is based upon market research into alternative safe
investment rates, the current rate of inflation and the appraiser’s opinion of the risks associated with the imposition
of the TLE on the subject property. In many areas, a discount rate is applied as th e owner is being paid in advance,
and in full, for the TLE prior to the start of project construction. However, it is this appraiser’s opinion that no
discount is to be applied in the instant case. This is a result of the lack of market participants utiliz ing such
discounts, the residential use of the subject, the small size of the TLE area, and the area’s strong market conditions.
Again, discounting has not been applied in the valuation of the subject’s TLE
The following information reflects the actual calculation of the amount of compensation determined to be
appropriate for the one-time payment for the use of the land within the temporary limited easement:
Acre Size 4.538
Price / Acre $62,000
Est Lot Value $281,356
Lot Value (Rnd) $281,400
Plus: Bldgs $0
Less: Lost Items $0
Total Value $281,400
After Value (Rnd) $281,400

Project ID: 2475-04-21 Parcel No. 2 Page 22 of 51
Based on this analysis, the one-time lump sum rental payment for the WisDOT’s use of the TLE is determined to be $415.
The amount of $415 appears appropriate for the limited and short-term use of the TLE area during the construction of this
project as well as the minimal physical changes to the land within the TLE.
Estimated value and compensation for the TLE is estimated to be $415
TOTAL DAMAGES AND ALLOCATIONS
Wisconsin eminent domain law specifies that damages are the difference between the market value of the subject before
and the market value of the remainder after the acquisition. The appraiser has previously valued the subject before and
after the acquisition. In this type of comparison, the compensation due the owner for loss of real estate is then calculated
by subtracting the value after from the value before the acquisition. To this difference is added the value of any temporary
interests acquired (TLE). This is seen in the following table:

The following chart summarizes the items to be acquired.
ALLOCATION Of ACQUISITION
Acquisitions Segments
Fee Acquisition (0.210-acre x $62,000 per acre) $13,020
Existing Road Right of Way (0.772-acre) $0
Permanent Limited Easement (None) $0

Other Items (None) $0
*Total Damages $13,020
Additional Compensation
Temporary Limited Easement (0.041-acre) $415
Appraiser Rounding $65
Total Compensation (Rounded) $13,500
* This amount is the same as the Total Damages estimated in the Before and After Analysis.
In determining the value of the acquisition, the appraiser has considered all compensable items allowed under Wisconsin
Statutes §32.09(6)(a-g). The appraiser has also completed a separate entity analysis of the acquisition area and
concludes that the fair market value of the property acquired, as of the date of valuation, is not greater than the deduction
of the after value from the before value. The separate entity analysis was deemed not to be applicable. As seen in the
analysis completed above, the estimated loss in market value to the subject property (value of the partial acquisition) was
determined to be $13,500. It is the professional opinion of the appraiser that the compensation due the owner of the
subject property (Parcel No. 2 of Project No. 2475-04-21), as of September 10, 2025, is:
Thirteen Thousand Five Hundred Dollars

Remarks
This is the 2024 sale of a vacant 1.34 acre lot that backs onto Summer Street (STH 60), with frontage on S Pike
Lake Drive and High Road in the City of Hartford, Washington County. This slightly irregular rectangular-shaped
lot has 286-ft of frontage along the curve of S Pike Lake Drive at High Road, and a minimum depth of 168-ft. It
lies mostly level, and slopes slightly in both the northeast corner and the northwest corners. There is a very
small/minor wetlands at the rear of the lot, but this did not aff ect the value or use of the lot. The lot is not in a
floodplain and is not wooded. The lot is zoned for business use, and has access to city water and sewer along with
electric, cable and natural gas utilities. This lot fronts S Pike Lake Drive with access likely to be from this street.
It backs up to STH 60 where it appears that no access allowed off Hwy 60, typical for a corner lot. It is highly
visible from STH 60 with a traffic count of 20,000 vehicles per day. S Pike Lake Drive and High Road, are paved
and improved with curb and gutter. There is an asphalt sidewalk along the S Pike Lake Dr. This lot has good
exposure and appears to be well suited for business use. The lot was offered for sale at $150,000 and sold after
only 65-days of market exposure. It sold in October 2 024 for $127,500 and was a cash sale and an arm's length
transaction. This sale equates to $95,149 per acre, or $2.18 per square foot.

Remarks
This is the 2025 sale of a vacant 3.747-acre lot on Old Orchard Road, being north of Stratton Circle just west of
Hwy 145 in the village of Menominee Falls in Waukesha County. This is a triangular -shaped lot with roughly
818-ft of frontage on Old Orchard Road, with a max depth of approx. 497-ft. Its shape is uncommon for this area.
Its shape diminishes its usable area and market appeal. It is located on the near south side of Menominee Falls
in an area of light industrial / business uses. It is found just west of Hwy 145 and east of STH 141, both very busy
streets. Although not located on Hwy 145, it has an Hwy 145 address, but no direct access to this highway. This
lot is level, is not wooded and has no wetland or floodplain. The abutting Old Orchard Road is paved, has curbs
and gutters, and the 4 traffic lanes with grass median. The lot is zoned for light industrial use and located among
established light industrial uses with sanitary sewer and municipal water. It is well suited for light industrial /
business use. This lot sold as a cash sale in February 2025 for $370,000 in an arm's length transaction. This sale
equates to $98,746 per acre, or $2.27 per sq ft.

Remarks
This is the sale of Lot 1 in the Polk Industrial Park Washington County. The Polk Industrial Park is a small non-
sewered development that is located on the west side of CTH P and a short distance north of STH 145. This
development backs up to I-45 (West Bend Freeway), but has no immediate access to I -45. Standard and typical
access to I-45 is available a short distance south at the intersection of CTH P with STH 145. This development
has only four lot, all will require an on-site septic system and private well as municipal utilities (sewer and water)
are not available at this location. Natural gas and electricity are within the abutting street. This parcel is located
in an outer area that is primarily agricultural in nature. This flat and rectangular shaped lot was cultivated with
row crops at the time of sale. It was originally offered at $273,000 for roughly 1,415-days before selling. It sold
in April 2024 for $205,180, or $56,368 per acre or $1.29 per sq ft. The lack of sanitary sewer and outer location
added to its extended marketing time. The buyer plans to build a self-storage facility on this site.

Remarks
This is the sale of Lot 3 in the Polk Industrial Park Washington County. The Polk Industrial Park is a small non-
sewered development that is located on the west side of CTH P and a short distance north of STH 145. This
development backs up to I-45 (West Bend Freeway at its rear, but has no immediate access to I-45. Standard and
typical access is available a short distance south at the intersection of CTH P with STH 145. This development
has four lots, all will require an on-site septic system and private well as municipal utilities (sewer and water) are
not available at this location. Natural gas and electricity are within the abutting street. This parcel is a flat and
rectangular shaped lot that was cultivated with row crops at the time of sale. It is at the end of the development's
interior street and overlooks I-45 at its rear. It was originally offered at $299,700 for roughly 1,290 -days before
selling. This lot sold in May 2024 for $299,314, or $56,368 per acre or $1.29 per sq ft. Seller’s Realtor confirmed
that this lot sold as part of a package purchase with several lots; however, each lot sold at asking price with no
discount being offered. The resulting unit value was confirmed at $56,368 per acre. This unit value is also
supported by other sales within the development that also sold at this unit value. As it was marketed as one lot of
5.310-acre, its price was allocated as one 5.310 -acre parcel by information obtained by the Realtor. The lack of
sanitary sewer and outer location added to its extended m arketing time. Its position overlooking I -45 did not
appear to enhance its value when compared to other lots sold in this development. The buyer plans to build a
warehouse facility on this site and acquired an adjacent parcel to create a larger parcel for this use. Again, the
purchase of several lot in one package did not influence its sale price.

BUSINESS OF THE PUBLIC WORKS & HIGHWAYS COMMITTEE
MEETING DATE: February 4, 2026
PLACEMENT: Action Item
ITEM TITLE: Authorization to exceed the construction administration services
professional services agreement with raSmith for the High Point
Pass project on a time and materials basis not to exceed
$225,000.00. (ACTION)
SUBMITTED BY: Matthew Mortwedt, Public Works Director
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
In 2025 the Village Board approved the construction of High Point Pass by Vinton, and
authorized construction administration and inspection services by raSmith. For this TID project,
raSmith’s contract was in the amount of $173,970 for construction administration and inspection
services, based on their estimate. Based on raSmith’s most recent December invoice, their
services exceed this amount. raSmith had incurred costs associated due to Change Orders for
design changes, additional work, material changes and time extensions:
- Additional Construction administration, meetings/discussions, plan/submittal reviews, site
visits
- Additional Construction observation for additional work
- Additional design for change order items
- Additional design for potential change order for parking lot which was not approved due to
price
- Additional Geotechnical services Test pits and report, site observation, proofrolls (Terracon)
This additional work beyond the original scope exceeds the budget in the amount of
approximately $25,000, totaling approximately $198,000, and is summarized below:
Design Changes/Additions (pond, storm extension, detour, water lateral size change, unsuitable
soils, sanitary revisions, storm realignment for MLG): $25,000
Material Changes (LSI lighting): $3,000
Time Extension (work beyond completion): $12,000
Parking Lot: $4,000
Geotechnical Services: Terracon Consultants, Inc. $7,000
In addition, there is work remaining: electrical field observations/as-builts, record drawing edits,
quantity verifications, project closeout, pay applications, punch-list/warranty work, change order

completion. The total construction administration and inspection services is now anticipated to
total approximtaely $225,000.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends to increase the total authorization on raSmith's professional services

BUSINESS OF THE PUBLIC WORKS & HIGHWAYS COMMITTEE
MEETING DATE: February 4, 2026
PLACEMENT: Action Item
ITEM TITLE: Road Program Review - Kings Way (Discussion)
SUBMITTED BY: Matthew Mortwedt, Public Works Director
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Esquire Estates is included in the 2026 Road Program, and the approved amount was $619,000
based on full depth mill estimate and contingency for excavation below subgrade.
Upon further survey, analysis and design, the Kings Way area expands from 60-ft ROW to 120-
ft with 5 concrete driveway connections. The road has slopes less than 1%, and would not
currently be accepted if this subdivision were proposed this way today, and as a result has poor
drainage.
Staff evaluated construction of additional inlets with catch basins (5 @$5,000 each) and storm
sewer (350-ft of 12-inch dia. at $150/LF) along with removal and replacement of approximately
750-ft of curb (estimated at $35/LF, totaling an additional $100,000 over budget). This design
would improve drainage, however slopes would remain flatter than 1%, and that would be
anticipated to be problematic for constructability and not ideal for drainage in the long term.
Another option for consideration is to evaluate the configuration of the Kings Way, where there
is an un-named frontage for 5 driveways over approximately 250-ft. Based on survey, the
elevation of the existing driveways at the curb (approx. 90-ft from centerline) to the existing
curb (30-ft from centerline), allows for slope of approximately 2%. Driveway extensions could
meet the design standard. The cost estimate for 5 new driveways at approximately 1,000 SF of
5-inch concrete at $15/SF is estimated $75,000. This alternative would include 2 new inlet catch
basins and approximately 250-ft of curb (est. $48,000).
The driveway extension alternative reduces the sub-standard slopes, and would require
clarification of maintenance responsibility in the right of way. One option is to update the plat
with a uniform 60-ft ROW, and transfer approximately 14,700 feet of ROW to the adjacent
parcels. As part of the project, lawn restoration following the concrete driveway work would
blend into the existing front yards. The driveway alignments and potential expansion do not
appear to have significant impact to municipal facilities including (sanitary, water, storm, trees,
and no lighting is present). Staff would request a planning ticket to explore private facilities
(gas, electric, fiber, telephone, cable, etc) to address easements on the plat work.
