New Berlin Update

A quick update on happenings in New Berlin.

MSP Development is hosting an informational open house Friday (June 4th) from 3PM-7PM at the New Berlin City hall on the proposal that has generated so much backlash.

Then the Plan Commission is meeting Monday June 7th. Curiously, they have amended their agenda to include a closed session at 5:30 PM-6PM to discuss the MSP Development and their options.
(g) Conferring with legal counsel for the governmental body who is rendering
oral or written advice concerning strategy to be adopted by the body with
respect to litigation in which it is or is likely to become involved, more
specifically:
 City Center multi-family development

There is a Privilege of the Floor in which anyone can speak for three minutes immediately following the closed session. The MSP proposal is the first item after the Privilege of the Floor.


Keep in mind that MSP Development has modified their proposal to include more parking, which is the sole reason why the Mayor asked for this reconsideration; to withdraw the waiver for the reduced parking. Given that MSP now meets the requirements, there apparently is no rationale for the Plan Commission to reject the proposal after MSP has jumped through all the hoops.


It should be an interesting meeting on Monday.
