Land Use & Development Tips – May Lunch & Learn Recap

The May Lunch & Learn featured Tim Casey, Economic Development Administrator with the City of Brookfield, who provided a balanced look at important steps not to be overlooked in site selection.  Tim also offered insights on best practices for working with municipalities to help get your project approved in a timely fashion.  He provided an in-depth look at the challenges faced when developing The Corridor, the former Ruby Farms site bordering both Bluemound Rd. to the North and I-94 to the South.  Tim’s suggestions included: use of the available site mapping tools such as the GIS Land Information System on www.waukeshacounty.gov; conducting a comprehensive site soil survey (he strongly advocated for doing due diligence by working with an experienced Geotech consultant); development of a comprehensive land use plan; and guidelines for the plan review and approval timelines, including fast track approvals.
