Appeal # 13-97 Anne and Michael Recknagel,W190 S7096 Wentland
Drive. REQUESTING: Under the direction of Section 3.08 (1)
Appeal Provisions, Petitioner seeks two (2) variances:
1. Chapter 17--Zoning Ordinance: Section 5.02 (1) Building
Location. Said regulation requires a 7.5 foot offset from the
northern property line. Petitioner seeks a 4.6 foot variance to
build an addition to the rear of the home 2.9 feet from the
northern property line. 2. Chapter 17--Zoning Ordinance:
Section 4.06 (2) A.1 Legal Nonconformity: Classification and
Regulation. No such structure may be expanded or enlarged
except in conformity with the regulations of the district in
which it is located. Petitioner seeks to construct an addition
2.9 feet from the northern property line.
Zoned: RS-3/OLS, Suburban Residence District with a Lake Shore
Overlay.
Mr. Trejo explained to the Board members that this is a
different submission with new drawings and new location on
survev.
Chairman O'Neil administered an oath to Michael and Ann
Recknagel, Barbara LaMere, and Attorney Kurt Frank.
Dan Schepp made a motion to hear this appeal based on the new
information. Jim Ross seconded. Upon roll call vote, motion
carried unanimously.
Attorney Frank described the modified proposal and the need to
cover the exposed basement area covering the sump pump.
Enforcement of the zoning code would cause unnecessary hardship
due to preexisting location of the residence and a variance
would not be in contrary to public interest and would be in the
spirit with the public code because the existing offset would
not be increased but maintained. The home would be improved and
aesthetically pleasing in accord with spirit of the code. It
would increase the tax base for the city and not adversely
affect the neighborhood.
BOA 06/26/97
Page 2
The upward addition of 1200 sgare feet would increase livability
of the home and create what the Recknagel's originally planned
when they purchased the home.
Mrs. Barbara LaMere, neighbor most affected by addition was here
in support of proposed addition. Mrs. LaMere further stated all
the homes in this area are all too close to the lot lines.
Carlos Trejo explained the house is 4.6 feet within the
nonbuildable area. The second floor would increase to the total
amount of square footage that is already nonconforming. Mr.
Trejo, further stated, that the extent of the renovation of the
home could exceed the 50% allowed for nonconforming structures.
Per assessment records, the dwelling is listed at $54,000,
allowing $27,300 for improvements. Mr. Trejo questioned costs
and a need for a cost breakdown. Mr. Recknagel stated his
designer has 30 years of experience and estimates the cost at
$18 per square foot, totaling $17,000 dollars. The Recknagel's
stated that they plan to do a lot of the work on their own.
Appeal #17-97 Parkland Venture LLC/ Arthur D. Dyer, S74 W17000
Janesville Road, REQUESTING: Under the direction of Section
30.09 (4) Inspections: Board of Appeals, Petitioner aggrieved
by decision of Building Inspector: 1. Chapter 30-Building
Code: Section 30.05 (1) (c) Permits: Permits Required. Said
regulation requires permit for wrecking or razing work; and
Chapter 30-Building Code: Section 30.50 Failure to obtain
permit. City of Muskego, Schedule of Building Permit Fees sets
regulation for a penalty fee of three (3) times the applicable
permit fee when work is started prior to a permit being issued.
The property is zoned B-4/OPD, Highway Business with a Planned
Development Overlay.
Chairman O'Neil administered an oath to Building Director Chuck
Dykstra, Sr., Art Dyer, George Resch, Attorney Richard Frederick
and Wendy Reinbolt.
Attorney Frederick explained to the Board the intent of his work
at the Parkland Mall was only clean-up. Wrecking is a dilemma,
there is no definition in the City Code defining exactly what
constitutes wrecking or razing. There is also no definition in
the State Statutes. The Wisconsin Administrative Department of
Natural Resources, however, has a definition under 442.02(11)
for demolition. The work done at the Parkland Mall was strictly
clean up work, not removing load -supporting structural walls.
Attorney Frederick feels this is selective enforcement on the
part of the Building Department directed to the Parkland Mall.
Chairman O'Neil stated this is not the issue before the Board
and would not hear this argument.
Mr. Dyer stated that researching past practice in community, he
found that there were no demolition permits issued over past
five years. There were no wrecking permits for the old Sentry
store located in the adjacent parking lot.
Mr. Dyer refered to letter sent to previous owner requiring work
be done immediately to the roof of the Parkland Mall. Mr. Dyer
stated that he was complying with the conditions of the letter.
BOA 06/26/97
Page 3
Thirty dumpsters were required to remove ceiling tiles and flea
market leftovers not removed by the previous tenant.
Mr. Dyer has worked in Fox River Hills, Racine, Milwaukee, West
Milwaukee, Okauchee and numerous other communities in which no
permit was required for clean-up work. There were no structual
walls removed nor plumbing removed, however, the Building
Department of the City of Muskego required a permit and assessed
triple fees as a fine for work being done without a permit.
There was no wrecking/razing permit required by Rozman's True
Value nor for Sentry walls being removed. There was a permit
for the Golden Chicken and that was completely taken down. Mr.
Dyer stated he has in his possession letters from City of New
Berlin and Village of Big Bend stating no permit is required for
clean up work.
Mr. George Resch stated he has worked in the wrecking/razing
field for 30 years and is currently working for EBA. He has
done approximately 3,000 demolitions and has never taken out a
permit for work removing nonbearing walls.
Chuck Dykstra, Sr., Director of the Building Inspection
Department stated there is confusion regarding demolition
permits. When demolition is being done with a remodeling/
alteration permit, no separate demolition permit required, its
part of the remodeling/alteration permit. In the case of the
Parkland Mall, no plans were submitted for alteration/
remodeling, hence a demolition permit to remove walls is
required.
Mr. Dykstra presented a survey from Southeastern Wisconsin
Building Inspectors Association asking who requires a demolition
permit to remove walls in commercial buildings regardless if
walls are bearing or not. 16 of the 17 inspectors surveyed
required demolition permits.
The Building Department has a policy of assessing triple permit
fees to all contractors when work is done without a permit.
Mr. Dyer stated this was only clean up work, sweep -up mold and
mildew tiles, no electric nor plumbing were removed. Electric
was left in place or else placed up in the ceiling. The
telephone lines have been cut.
Mr. Dyer indicated there is a pattern of abuse by the Building
Director as in the case of Jack Galkowski. On June 4th, Mr.
Galkowski reported to Mr. Dyer the Building Director harassed
and screamed at him (Mr. Galkowski) at the Parkland Mall.
Dan Schepp made a motion to hear a rebuttal by Mr. Dykstra, Mike
Brandt seconded. Upon voice vote, motion to hear was denied.
Mr. Dykstra stated he objects and did not agree with that
decision.
Appeal #18-97 William R. and Pamela Lehmann, W183 S6453 Jewel
Crest Drive REQUESTING: Under the direction of Section 3.08
(1) Appeal Provisions, Petitioner seeks two (2) variances: 1.
Chapter 17--Zoning Ordinance: Section 5.02 (1) Building
BOA 06/26/97
Page 4
Location. Said regulation requires a 55 foot setback from Topaz
Drive. Petitioner seeks a 21 foot variance to build an
accessory structure 34 feet from the centerline of Topaz Drive.
2. Chapter 17--Zoning Ordinance: Section 5.02 (1) Building
Location. Said regulation requires a 55 foot setback from Jewel
Crest Drive. Petitioner seeks a 29 foot variance to build an
accessory structure 26 feet from the centerline of Jewel Crest
Drive. The property is zoned RS-3/OLS, Suburban Residence
District with a Lake Shore Overlay.
Mr. Trejo informed the Board that the petitioners had been
before the them on a previous appeal, that had been denied.
They have proposed a new location for the garage.
Mike Brandt made a motion to re -hear the Appeal. Dan Schepp
seconded. Upon roll call vote, motion carried unanimously.
Chairman O'Neil administered an oath to William and Pamela
Lehmann. William Lehmann stated he had spoken to the Police
Department and Public Works to correct confusion regarding where
the garage was proposed to be built and discussed the corner
vision. Mr. Lehmann stated this garage would not have an
adverse affect to code nor public safety. The existing attached
garage would come down as well as a small shed if approved. The
proposed garage would be 24' x 28'. The hardship is the
preexisting location of structure on lot, the irregular
configuration of the lot, and the lot being locked in by a
corner, surrounded by two streets on the side. With the
inclusion of the ultimate right-of-way, there is no buildable
area on his property. Mr. Lehmann offered two location options:
A Location and B Location.
Mr. Trejo explained the legal nonconforming building allowed 50%
of assessed value for structual renovations or additions and
that an attached garage structure is an option for the
petitioner. If detached, the 60% rule would allow for a 773
square foot accessory building, the plan proposed is under that
figure. Mr. Trejo explained that even though the configuration
of the lot is unique and complex, owners are responsible for
doing their homework when purchasing a home. If the Board were
to grant a variance to the Lehman's, this would be an injustice
to the potential owners that did do their research and selected
not to buy the lot. Mr. Trejo expressed a concern in regards
that the detached structure would encroach within the vision
angle of the intersection, which proposes a threat to safety and
public welfare. If a structure is built, staff would recommend
that the structure be built parallel to the road, not to the
house. Prior to issuing any building permits a survey would be
required with garage staked out.
Mr. Lehmann reiterated the following: Trees to be removed per
vision code. Pine trees are year round to block view of yard.
Attached garage would require a variance as well. If garage
were parallel it would be a moot point because we are only
talking a couple of feet and would be more in the vision line
(in his opinion)
Mrs. Lehmann's question is do aesthetics play a part in this
decision; the answer was no, that is not a hardship.

Appeal #19-97 Dean A. Lubecke, W183 S6526 Jewel Crest Drive
REQUESTING: Under the direction of Section 3.08 (1) Appeal
Provisions, Petitioner seeks one (1) variance: 1. Chapter
17--Zoning Ordinance: Section 4.06 (2) A. Legal Nonconformity:
Classification and Regulation - Nonconforming Structure. Said
regulation restricts expansion or enlargement of a nonconforming
structure except within conformity of the zoning district.
Petitioner seeks to repair, alter, and expand said structure
over 50% of its current fair market value. The property is
zoned RS-3/OLS, Suburban Residence District with a Lake Shore
Overlay.
Chairman Terry O'Neil stepped down as chairman. Vice Chairman
Mike Brandt took over the meeting.
Vice Chairman Brandt administered an oath to Dean and Sherry
Lubecke and neighbor Terry O'Neil.
Dean Lubecke stated he obtained a permit from the Building
Department and the Plan Department to extend the foundation and
build an exposed basement. This project was just a hobby to
work with his family. When he purchased the home, the ad
mentioned this would be a handyman's special. Mr. Lubecke
stated he then received a letter from the City stating he was
going too slow and the City would be monitoring his progress.
At that time, a carpentry company got involved to speed the
project up, and then Mr. Trejo wrote a letter stating that the
project had gone too far and to stop work. Mr. Lubecke was
requested to bring in receipts from contractors for work being
done, but Mr. Trejo questioned the validity of the receipts.
Carlos Trejo stated that the question before the Board is
whether the appellant may exceed the 50% rule. This parcel is
composed of two nonconforming lots that create a conforming
parcel. There is plenty of buildable space on this property.
The existing structure on the property is too close to Jewel
Crest, and the owner expanded the structure in the
nonconformance area. The foundation permit issued was in the
buildable space and at that time it was explained to Mr. Lubecke
what the 50 % rule was. Mr. Trejo stated the City is not
denying Mr. Lubecke the use of his lot, however, this is a
public safety issue being too close to the intersection and too
close to the road. The other issue here is there was no permit
applied for to build a second story nor a first and second story
on the new foundation.
Mr. Terry O'Neil stated he has been living next to this
structure for 10 years and has requested from the Building
Department to have it condemned to no avail. It is a pleasure
to finally have someone fix up this house and no longer have to
watch it being vandalized.
A ten minutes recess occurred. Chairman Terry O'Neil resumed
chairmanship over the meeting.

Inspection Requests (414) 679-4110
The following information was complied as a result of action taken by Mr. Arthur Dyer to appeal the
Building Inspectors decision, requiring a demolition permit, for work performed at the Parkland Mall
facility.
Inspectors representing numerous surrounding communities were questioned to determine their policy on
requiring permits for demolition work. The Inspectors were asked if they require permits for demolition
work in commercial buildings which involves the removal of non -bearing walls in malls, shopping centers
and other commercial tenant spaces. The community, name and phone number of the inspector and any
comments offered are included below. Inspectors were encouraged to provide comments to explain their
specific policy.
City of Brookfield No separate permit required for demolition work, if the demolition
work occurs as part of the overall construction project, under the
authority of an alteration permit.
Inspector: Ken Dentice Phone 796-6646
Village of Brown Deer Separate demolition permits are typically not required; however, if a
large scale demolition project is proposed with no planned
reconstruction, a demolition permit would be required.
Inspector: Robert Premo Phone 357-0144
City of Franklin Typically demolition is done with as alteration to tenant spaces. If we
were to have demolition work alone we would charge a permit.
Inspector: Fred Baumgart Phone 425-0084
Village of Germantown Our permit is based on the cost of the complete renovation and we do
not distinguish between demolition work or new work. In an instance
where they are only doing demolition work then we would issue a
separate permit for demolition.
Inspector: Robert Myers Phone 253-8250
Village of Grafton Yes, we require permits for demolition work which includes the
removal of non -bearing walls.
Inspector: Tom Johnson Phone 375-5305

removal of non -bearing walls.
Inspector: Mel Teska Phone 543-5500 ext 333

for work to follow the demolition, a permit would be required.
Inspector. Richard Holden Phone 768-6544
City of Port Washington Yes, we require permits for demolition work which includes the
removal of non -bearing walls. However, sometimes the demolition
permit is incorporated into the building permit.
Inspector: Brian Kober Phone 284-2600
City of Racine Demolition work is covered under the building permit.
Inspector: Robert Jensen Phone 636-9471
City of Sheboygan *" We do not require a permit for the demolition of non -bearing walls.
Inspector: Jack VanDer Weele Phone 459-3481
City of Waukesha Generally we do not issue demolition permits as the demolition is part
of the building permit. In a case where the owner wants to remove
walls, ceilings, etc, and does not have a tenant, we will issue a
demolition permit so the owner can clean out the tenant spaces. Permit
fee determined at S7.00 per $1,000.00
Inspector: Ray Holzman Phone 524-3530
City of Wauwatosa Yes, we require permits for demolition work which includes the
removal of non -bearing walls when the work is not incorporated under

City of West Allis Yes, we require permits for demolition work which includes the
removal of non -bearing walls.
Inspector: Bob Ruesch Phone 302-8414

require supervising and design professionals be assigned to the job and
plans be submitted.
Inspector: Dick Simmons Phone 334-I362
Independent Inspections LTD Most Municipalities IIL works for include the demolition with the
Covering 80+ communities remodeling permit. If there is not a remodeling permit submitted and
they wish to start demolition work, a demolition permit is then issued
subject to local ordinance.
III, CEO - Operations, Thomas DeIacy Phone 544-8280
Summary: The overwhelming concensus of those questioned was that the demolition work will typically
be included along with the new work under an alteration permit. In the few circumstances where there is
no remodeling or improvement plans ready and the individual wants to start demolition work a separate
permit is required to cover the demolition alone in all communities questioned with the exception of
Sheboygan, who did not really elaborate on how they handle that situation.

Dear Mayor D'Angelis:
We have received notice of the above referenced appeal and, although we will be unable to attend the
gearing In person, we wanted to let you know that we are in support of the City+s position on this issue.
Having worked with the City through the design approval, permitting, and Inspection process, it is clear
to us that the City of Muskego is very diligent when it comes to its review of construction and
development. It is reasonable that the same standard apply to other projects as well.
We appreciate receiving your notice and invite you to all if you have any questions relative to this issue.
Sincerely,

Demolition Permit Survey
Muskego currently requires contractors to obtain a demolition or wrecking permit to
remove walls in commercial buildings (regardless of if walls are bearing or not) and we
frequently hear statements to the effect: "We don't need to obtain a permit for this in
any other community". To help us better gauge how this issue is handled in other
communities we have devised the following brief form to survey other area inspectors as
to their policies. Thank you for taking the time to complete the following questionnaire.

separated from the balance of the building by 2-hour construction. ILHR 10, the Flammable and
Combustible Liquids Code, requires that the room be of 4-hour construction. Which code applies?
Answer: The more restrictive requirement of ILHR 10 would apply in this case.
Subchapter II -- Application of Building Code
(1) NEW BUILDINGS AND ADDITIONS. The provisions of this code shall apply to all new
buildings and structures, and also to additions to existing buildings and structures, except those
indicated in s. ILHR 50.04.
An addition is new construction which increases the volume of an existing structure. Additions can
be horizontal or vertical.
(2) ALTERATIONS TO BUILDINGS. The provisions of this code shall apply to all
remodeling or alterations in any building or structure which affect the structural strength, fire
hazard, exits, required natural lighting or replacement of major equipment. The provisions of
this code shall apply to remodeling and alterations that effect efficiency as specified in
s. ILHR 63.001. These provisions do not apply to minor repairs necessary for the maintenance
of any building or structure nor to buildings exempt, as listed in s. ILHR 50.04.
Alteration is work within an existing building which does not increase the volume of the existing
building.
Compliance with the code will be required in most cases since very little can be done in the form of
alteration which will not affect the structural strength, fire hazard, exiting or natural lighting. Even
new wall, floor and ceiling finishes are regulated by code, and affect fire hazard. Partition
changes, either addition or removal, affect exiting.
Although the code provisions will always apply, it may not be necessary to obtain state approval for
the work. If a minor alteration project is contemplated, the local code officials should be contacted
to determine if that local official will require state approval of the project prior to issuance of a
building permit.
(3) CHANGE OF USE.
(a) If the use of an existing building or structure is changed in accordance with the definition
of s. ILHR 51.01 (87), and the requirements for the new use are more stringent than those for
the previous use, the building or structure shall be made to comply with the requirements for
the new use as provided in this code.
1. Exception. Unless the requirements for the new use are modified subject to the written
approval by the department.
2. Exception. An existing building undergoing a change of use shall comply with the
accessibility requirements specified in s. ILHR 69.03 (3).
ILHR 57.79 (4) specifies that if the change in use is to covered multifamily housing and the building
i is remodeled or added to, the building shall comply with ILHR 57 Subchapter II.
(b) If, upon inspection of an existing building or structure, it is found that its use has changed
and that it does not comply with the requirements of the building code in effect at the time of
-1997-50-4-
50.06
(1) This code shall not limit the power of cities, villages and towns to make, or enforce,
additional or more stringent regulations, provided the regulations do not conflict with this code,
or with any other rule of the department, or law.
(2) EXCEPTION. Pursuant to s. 101.75 (2), Stats., all manufactured multifamily dwellings
approved by the department shall be deemed to comply with the requirements of all building
ordinances and regulations of any local government except those related to zoning and siting
requirements including, but not limited to, building setback, side and rear yard requirements and
property line requirements.
Note: This exception applies only to those building elements and building parts covered under the provisions of
s. ILHR 50.125 Wisconsin Insignia. The exception does not apply to on -site constructed elements such as, but
not limited to, footings, foundations, attached porches, steps, concrete floor slabs and on -site constructed
mechanical systems.
Designers should always check with the municipal, town, and county authorities to determine if
there are local ordinances which are more restrictive than the state building code. Except for
manufactured multifamily dwellings, you may have to meet more restrictive or additional local
requirements in the design of the building.
Subchapter III -- Design and Supervision
Every new building, or alteration to a building, shall be designed in compliance with this code.
(1) Buildings containing not more than 50,000 cubic feet total volume. The plans and
specifications for every new building, or alteration to a building, containing not more than
50,000 cubic feet total volume, or addition to a building in which the volume of the addition
results in the entire building containing not more than 50,000 cubic feet total volume, may be
prepared by a registered architect, engineer, designer, contractor or an authorized agent.
(2) Buildings containing more than 50,000 cubic feet total volume. The plans and specifications
for every new building, or alteration to a building, containing more than 50,000 cubic feet total
volume, or addition to a building in which the volume of the addition results in the entire
building containing more than 50,000 cubic feet total volume, shall be designed as follows:
(a) Building or structural design. The plans and specifications for the design of the building
or structure shall be prepared, signed and sealed by a Wisconsin registered architect or
engineer.
If the volume of the building exceeds 50, 000 cubic feet, a registered professional is required to sign
and seal the submittal. The volume of the building is that volume which the building will have
following completion of the proposed project.
Although the building code implies that only the plans and specifications require a seal, the signing
and sealing requirements of the Department of Regulation and Licensing are more encompassing
and require seal, signature and date on all prepared documents.
LN. Question 1: Please give a clear set ofguidelines for signing and sealing documents which are
submitted to Buildings and Structures.
Answer: The requirements for signing and sealing of documents as found both in the DILHR
Administrative Code in the Wisconsin Statutes, and Administrative Code relating to Architects,
