t2198-984
Dear Mr. Rubio:
On behalf of the City of Muskego, subject to Council approval, I
would like to request the release of the Parkland Mall property
Muskego's jurisdiction for all Building, WAC, Plumbing and
located at 574 W17000 Janesville Road, back to the City of
Electrical work, as well as related inspections, and all sewer
and water permits and inspections.
Because of the importance of this property and the prolonged
process through which it appears this may take through the State
Attorney General's office, I would like this property returned to
the City of Muskego's jurisdiction with the understanding that
this item will be placed on the Common Council agenda for July
14, 1998, to receive their concurrence.
Please refrain from any action until July 15, 1998, when I have
concurrence by the Common Council. This letter should be
considered as an Intent to Return until Common Council action.
Thank you for your cooperation with the City of Muskego over the
past year and I will be contacting you shortly.

RE: Transfer of inspection responsibilities for property located
at S74 W17000 Janesville Road, Muskego, WI - Tax Key #2198-984
Dear Mr. Burks:
Subsequent to our telephone conversation of July 25, 1997 and
pursuant to your request for same, this letter is forwarded to
request a transfer of inspection responsibilities for the structure
located at S74 W17000 Janesville Road, Muskego, WI - Tax Key
This request is a result of conflicts which have arisen between the
most recent owner of this facility, Mr. Art Dyer and the City of
Muskego.
As explained in our telephone conversation, Mr. Dyer and the City
have had numerous encounters, including but not limited to the
following:
'City disapproving a proposed development by Mr. Dyer known as
Cowtown.
subject of this letter.
'City and Mr. Dyer competing for purchase of structure which is the
#2198-984.
City.
'City and Mr. Dyer competing for purchase of other property in
for demolition of interior partitions when no alteration permits
'Mr. Dyer challenging this department's decision to require permits
have been submitted for building.
to the press and expressing his intention to file claim of same
'Mr. Dyer making claims of selective enforcement by this department
with the State.
W182 S8200 Racine Avenue Box 903 Muskego, Wisconsin 53150-0903 Fax (414) 679-5618
In an attempt to minimize the possibility of future conflict
between the City and Mr. Dyer and in the interest of obtaining a
code compliant structure, the City is requesting the State take
over the inspection responsibilities for the property located at
S74 W17000 Janesville Road, Muskego, WI - Tax Key #2198.984, for
the duration of time during which Mr. Dyer has ownership of the
building.
Upon transfer of ownership to anyone other than Mr. Dyer, the City
and inspections of the facility. The City also reserves the right
of Muskego would wish to again resume responsibility for permits
to terminate this transfer at any other time as may be deemed
appropriate.
This request is intended to encompass Building, WAC, Plumbing and
Electrical work as well as all related inspections. Likewise,
permits or inspections would be required by the City, for the work
should additional sewer or water service work be required, no
normally inspected by the City Plumbing Inspector. The City does
reserve the right to charge other reasonable and customary fees not
related to inspections.
Zoning fees will also continue to be charged as will fees for our
Business Registration program which would affect new tenants of the
structure.
The City would continue to exercise control over exterior lighting,
signage, parking and other site plan issues through the Plan
Commission site and operation plan approval process, but would not
issue electrical permits for same.
In an effort to minimize the possibility of future problems or
misunderstanding, between Mr. Dyer and the City, relative to
required site plan reviews, the City requests that State plan
review offices (Waukesha and/or Madison), notify the City upon
receipt of plans for projects at this location. The City will then
verify all approvals have been obtained for same and in the event
local approval has not been obtained, will notify Mr. Dyer of
required procedure.
If possible, the City would also like to receive notification from
the State when plans have been approved or when any portion of the
final inspection and state receipt of completion statement from
facility has been approved for occupancy or use, (upon approved
supervising professional), so that we can stay appraised of ongoing
0 activities in our community
We hope that you will give careful consideration to this request
and look forward to discussing any questions you may have in this
regard.
Sincerely,
Chuck Dykstra, Sr.
