Site Design
1. Site Analysis & Planning
Resources
- Contact the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
(Remediation & Redevelopment, 414-263-8557) and the
City of Milwaukee Department of City Development (Brownfields
Team, 414-286-5756) to obtain any existing site or environmental
data that may be available from previous investigations.
Additionally, use the materials contained in Appendix
2 to help assess and plan for environmental and geotechnical
characteristics of your site.
- Since its development, the downtown Milwaukee Riverwalk
project has increased property values by $182 million.
- Urban land adjacent to a Portland, Oregon greenbelt was
worth approximately $1,200 more per acre than land 1,000
feet away from the greenbelt.
- The Sigma Group, in the Menomonee Valley, took advantage
of the need to build on piles to develop a passive methane
venting system. The system saved considerable money over
a conventional methane venting system.

Site planning guidelines are intended to maximize the build out
area and create a cohesive sense of place for the Menomonee Valley.
- Design all parking facilities and open spaces to work together
to manage stormwater, create connections to the river and Hank
Aaron State Trail and improve the aesthetics of your site.
- From the outset of the development project, integrate site,
landscape and soil needs into architectural and construction sequences.
- Preserve and enhance cultural resources that might exist on
or near your property. Refer to the Menomonee
Valley Cultural Resource Management Plan.
- Maintain a ratio of total gross floor area to total lot area
of no less than 25% for initial site build-out.
- Build to street-fronting property lines, or to the setback
of neighboring buildings. When buildings cannot be at property
lines, minimize parking along the street frontage.
- Do not construct within ten feet of any interior side lot line
of the property. Side yards on the street side of corner lots
shall have no minimum required width.
- Attach signage to a vertical surface of the building or to
a ground-mounted base. Do not post signs other than corporate
identification signs, directional and educational or interpretive
signs.
- Where feasible, install utility lines underground.
