property has no abuse, no children, no cars and no great de'nand
on it. Craig and Clark Fischer, sons of Larry Fischer appeared
before the Board to explain the repairs would cost between
$1,000.00 and $2,000.00, and they would be willing to meet the
requirements of the code, if they would be given enough time.
Clark Fischer that they would like the variance because there is
not an overabundance of rental properties in Muskego, and the
present renters appreciai.e i.he low rent payment. Mr. Ken Kralin,
the tenriat in the lower unit said he was willing to work on the
repairs.

house would add to the appearance of the house. Mr. Strzok is
