If not, then here you go:
ITEM 5B: Crystal Ridge Ski Hill (7900 West Crystal Ridge Drive) Special Use permit as it relates to future park purposes and adequate athletic fields within the City of Franklin.
If you recall, I mentioned that the City of Franklin, or should I say Mayor Taylor, are beginning to show a greater interest in the ski hill. This was kicked off by a Common Council meeting in February where Mayor Taylor and several aldermen expressed displeasure over the current situation at Crystal Ridge, especially when the terms of the special use permit the city gave to the ski hill operator is apparently not been met yet.
The discussion relating to the permit is significant; if the Parks Commission decides to recommend to the Common Council to revoke the ski hill's special use permit, and the council agrees, then to my knowledge the ski hill would have to shut down until the city felt it came into compliance with its special use requirements. This could anger both the operator and Milwaukee County, the owner of the site with some large financial troubles at the present time. This could pave the way for a possible takeover of the ski hill site by the City of Franklin. It could become a multi-governmental takeover if the Village of Greendale became a party to this due to the site straddling the Franklin/Greendale border.
This should provide for some interesting discussion as time goes on.
