Village of Kewaskum Workshop - Group 1 (10 participants)
Natural and Agricultural Resources chosen to preserve:
• Geological Areas
• Primary Environmental Corridors
• Secondary Environmental Corridors
• Isolated Natural Resource Areas
• Upland Woodlands
Group 1 mapped medium density residential growth in most of the remaining undeveloped areas inside the existing municipal boundary of the Village of Kewaskum. A few areas outside of the Village’s municipal
boundary but inside the planned sewer service area were also mapped at medium density.
The 2005 estimated population for the Village of
Kewaskum was 3,689 people. For Group 1, densities defined by the group along with the areas
mapped and the average number of persons per
dwelling unit (2.5 persons) were calculated to produce an increase of 2,243 people which sent the
population to 5,932, which is 113 people more than
the projected population for the year 2035.
The densities defined by Group 1 were:
Medium: 3 dwelling units/acre
2,243
2,243
People
At a medium density, 299 acres of land were
mapped for residential growth to suit 2,243 people.
The following are comments provided by Group 1:
• Slow development down.
• Put new growth within undeveloped areas of Village.
• We could use 6 lanes thru town.
• Would like to see some kind of open space in the downtown area. (A consistent break in residential/
commercial/industrial areas.)

Group 2 mapped new residential growth within or adjacent to the planned sewer service area of the Village of
Kewaskum.
The 2005 estimated population for the Village of
Kewaskum was 3,689 people. For Group 2, densities defined by the group along with the areas
mapped and the average number of persons per
dwelling unit (2.5 persons) were calculated to produce an increase of 2,311 people which sent the
population to 6,000, which is 181 people more than
the projected population for the year 2035.
The densities defined by Group 2 were:
Medium: 3 dwelling units/acre
Low: 1 dwelling unit/acre
1,911
400
People
2,311
At a medium density, 254 acres of land were
mapped for residential growth to suit 1,911 people.
160 acres of land were mapped for low residential
growth to suit 400 people. The two densities
combined suited 2,311 people and consumed 415
acres of land.
The following are comments provided by Group 2:
• Preserve the wetlands to the south of Village.
• Low density on border could cause trouble—when their septic fails then they will want sewer.
• The mechanism to preserve open space is the problem, not the concept.
• Concern about capacity of schools and fire department with new development of TIF area.

Group 3 mapped medium density residential growth in areas that were inside the planned sewer service area.
The 2005 estimated population for the Village of
Kewaskum was 3,689 people. For Group 3, densities defined by the group along with the areas
mapped and the average number of persons per
dwelling unit (2.5 persons) were calculated to produce an increase of 1,139 people which sent the
population to 4,828, which is 991 people less than

Village of Kewaskum
Visioning Statements
I envision the Village of Kewaskum to be…
•
A village that has some industry and jobs versus being a bedroom community;
a community that values its young people and provides good schools for them;
a place that offers good library services in an expanded building or new building; a village that looks out
for its citizens and looks ahead, beyond its next budget!
•
A wonderful place to live and raise a family.
•
What was once a nice community is now growing out of control. The appropriate place for new
businesses is where the Village Center was supposed to be built, but now there are condos and houses
being planned on that site.
As for the population estimates of 9000+ people in the next 5 years that was reported at the Waste Water
meeting, the estimate is completely ridiculous and is not a good reason to spend $10.8 million.
•
Get the dogs and bikes off the sidewalks so people can enjoy a walk without getting ran over or chased
by a dog. Check dog liscensing too. Most are not liscensed.
•
A safe place to live. It should have services such as police, fire protection, library, etc. It should also
have limited growth (so school sizes can keep up) and plenty of green space.
22
21
•
Goal #5 – We need a bypass for Highway 45.
Goal #6 – We should look at the fire chief position – I think it is a little early for a full-time chief.
Goal #7 – We should be planning and get started on up grading our library (new library in Kewaskum).
•
I lived in Kewaskum since 1973 and have had to drive to Milwaukee to support my family because
wages are too low here – attract more business – paid workers on public project prevailing wages and
enforce it.
•
As a new resident, I believe you need to look at the lack of industry on the Hwy. 45 corridor. A lot of
people leave here to work. Need the industrial development to help pay for the growth already here. It’s
a great quaint community that is a very nice place to live. Pave the bike path and more bike traffic will
come and add to ecomomy.
Some room for industrial development to have some better paying jobs in the area. More restaurants –
not just fast food. Niche retail to fit the village image. Too close to West Bend for bigger retail. Keep
growth measured to insure quality of living.
•
•
•
My vision was gone once our village became surrounded by developments. What was once a quiet and
friendly community is gone.
We need to slow down the growth and stop the developers from ruining this village any further!!
Kewaskum has grown mainly because families are moving here from Milwaukee to get away from the
problems they had there, mainly – traffic, crime, racism and high cost of living.
Now the same problems are brought out to our community, and they still have to drive to Milwaukee to
work.

A place to work. Not a place to leave to go to work.
•
To me we need to go and get businesses to move here and hire people for jobs. We do not need anymore
rich people to come buy up land and divide it for new homes.

I would like to see NO more residential growth in Kewaskum – would like to see Hwy. 45 south of town
rerouted around town.

Would like a 2nd or 3rd opinion on the engineering waste water treatment plant.
