REPORT TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE JANUARY 3, 1991 PAGE 2 J-udt 4- .4s %p OTHER MATTERS w 5104 W15103 Loomis Drive (Wieselmann) �7J`S R�r�aoRQsa7 Judge Zick had or eyed that all the tires and the pile o ground up tires be removed from the property. A letter was written stating that the regular parking of commercial trucks was in violation of the ordinance and that periodic inspections would be made and a citation issued if the trucks were found to be parked I'�F on the premises. During one of those inspections, it was noted r Of- that the pile of ground up rubber had not been removed. Based on r✓Y Judge Zick's order that permitted the city to remove the tires, I asked John Loughney to remove same. Under the directive of the ayo , I was told this was the wrong procedure. Since two artments were involved, it should have been his decision to Ja' per request Public Works to remove same. Periodic inspections will / p� .continue to be made regarding the parking of t.9heL��cks. ��0 [ram 7�L /7�� L yr,/r/v/Bfic ����. W187 57825 Janesville Road (Benson Oil Co.)�I'niJ ���� —CCs ltND ',pnl�'� At the time t e storm sewers on the Schaefer property were being installed along the north lot line next to the Benson Oil Co. vacated land, a field tile was hit carrying what appeared to be a lot of gasoline or oil. The inspector informed the contractor to block up the tile and I contacted DNR regarding the contaminated soil. The DNR stated that they had letters going to Benson Oil Co. and that they had monitoring wells on the site. I reviewed the file and decided to cite Benson Oil for failure to remove the tanks in accordance with a letter sent on October 9, 1989. Prior to mailing the citation, I received a call from the Vice - President of Benson Oil, Mr. Lee Hucker, stating that he had received a letter from the DNR stating that he had moderately contaminated soil. The letter did not inform him of what is necessary when soil is moderately contaminated. He stated that without knowing what was permitted by the DNR, he could not remove the tanks. Therefore, the citation was not sent. I wrote a letter to Attorney Molter on December 13 requesting his direction and as of this date, I have not received an answer. Schaefer Outbuildings Alvin Schaefer took out a permit to remove the cattle barn, silo and one machine shed. A permit was taken out after the fire to remove and level the lot. There are still outbuildings between Racine Avenue and Lions Park Drive that should be removed. Those are the large metal building to be removed by May 15, another building used for drying corn and two garage structures. It is my understanding that the residences can remain and are being rented to the Schaefers.
