City of Delafield - Delafield Mayor Ed McAleer will present to the Common Council Monday night a revised version of his proposal to impose a moratorium on future development in downtown Delafield until a downtown land use plan is completed and approved.

Instead, McAleer is going to recommended the moratorium be restricted to development in a 30 acre neighborhood located east and south of City Hall until the city determines whether it wants to develop a road network that will connect the neighborhood to Genesee Street and remaining downtown business districts.

McAleer said that Acting City Administrator Marilyn Czubkowski and developer Bob Lang convinced him to revise his proposal.

McAleer said he wanted a moratorium on all of the downtown business district until the city had an opportunity to complete a storm water control plan. However, the city has already completed such a plan, Czubkowski has informed the mayor.

McAleer said he also understood Lang's concerns that the word "moratorium" had a negative connotation that could affect Lang's and other downtown land owners ability to sell or develop their properties.

McAleer said since the storm water plan had been completed and the only land remaining in the city that might be redeveloped is the 30 acres behind City Hall, a moratorium on development throughout the business district may not be necessary.

Lang may still be impacted by the moratorium since he owns about 14 of the 30- acres behind city hall that will be subject to a moratorium, if approved by the Common Council, until the city decides on whether to plan a street network in the neighborhood.
