PSM19910613. PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE - CITY OF MUSKEGO MINUTES OF MEETING HELD JUNE 13, 1991 The meeting was called to order at 7:01 A.M. by Chairman Taube. Also present were Committee Members Patterson, Mayor Salentine, Chief Johnson, Building Director Chuck Dykstra, Plan Director Gene Kovacs, Craig Lake (Village of Big Bend), and Stella Dunahee. Committee Member Simmons arrived at 7:30 P.M. The Committee reviewed attached list of condemnations. Ald. Harold Sanders is requested to contact Mr. Clarence Froehlich to check on status of agreement that was suppose to be signed and return to the City. Chuck Dykstra and Gene Kovacs reviewed with the Committee status of the Building & Planning departments. Job descriptions for department employees should be finalized for the July meeting. Chief Johnson discussed with the Committee the proposed turn lane/signal at the intersection of Janesville Rd. and Lannon Drive. Chief Johnson reported that while the turning lane and signal may result in a more orderly traffic flow and less wait during rush hours, it didn't appear that there is a serious safety problem without those controls at this time. The future with increased traffic may change this reasoning. Chief Johnson reported that the deer crossing sign is not needed on Tess Corners Drive. Chief Johnson reported that there appears to be no reason to lower the speed limit on College Avenue. He stated that even if we requested the County to do so, it appears the City of New Berlin and probably the County Department of Transportation itself would balk at that request as not justified. Chief Johnson reported on request for review of a proposed "Slow -Children Present" sign on Gaulke Drive. The Committee debated the need for this sign and request that Ald. Simmons review and report back to the Committee. Craig Lake appeared before the Committee to discuss inspection and zoning services to the Village of Big Bend. Ald. Patterson moved to approve time to be billed to Big Bend at a rate of $35.00/per hour as outlined on attached report from Chuck Dykstra. Seconded by Ald. Taube, motion carried. The Committee reviewed parking concern on Martin Drive as a result of activities on Idle Isle. Ald. Patterson moved to post "No Parking" signs on both sides of Martin Drive, from Hardtke Drive . to College Avenue. Seconded by Ald. Taube, motion carried. • Public Safety Committee - Page 2 June 13, 1991 Chuck Dykstra reviewed proposed update and clarification of existing forms for the Building Inspection Department.

TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE JUNE 13, 1991 CITATIONS W143 56958 Belmont Drive (Radtke) At the April 27 trial, James Radtke was ordered to pay (to the building department) a $330 fine. This amount was to be paid in three installments, the first one due June 12 in the amount of $130. Since Mr. Radtke could not pay the entire payment of $130, he appeared in court on June 12. He made an $80 payment which was brought over to the building department today by Debbie, the court clerk. The judge added the $50 not paid on 6/12/91 to the last installment of $100. Mr. Radtke now owes the following: $100 due 7/31/91 and $150 due 8/24/91. If the remainder of the fine is not paid by August 24, Mr. Radtke's driver's license is to be suspended for five years. A drive -by inspection made by me on June 13, 1991 revealed that the property remained cleaned up to an acceptable condition in the front yard area. W Tn1S case was adjo April 27, the case A.M.) for review. CONDEMNATIONS le Road (Benson Oil rned until April 27 was adjourned again 1991 for review. On until June 29, 1991 (9:00 S99 W21351 Parker Drive (Esther Hartman) After discussion with Alderman Dave Sanders regarding this property and the outbuildings that need to be removed, I wrote a letter to Esther Hartman dated May 30, 1991. A copy of this letter was provided to the Public Safety Committee members. The letter stated to Ms. Hartman that Alderman Sanders has granted her 90 days to remove the buildings per a diagram provided to her also. She has until August 15, 1991 to accomplish this and an inspection will be made by our department following that date. An inspection made today revealed no work has been done as of this date. 5102 W18758 Kelsey Drive (Tewes) On March 6, a permit was taken out to raze the structure. The structure would have been subject to condemnation. An inspection made June 13 revealed the building is still standing. I spoke with Elizabeth Tewes and she stated that the woman who lived in the structure was in the process of selling the furniture and appliances from inside the building and that she lives out of town at this time. When I asked Elizabeth Tewes for a time frame on the razing of the building, she stated that the building should be taken down by the end of July. S82 W15880 Mystic Drive (Lawdanski) Page 2 Public Safety Committe Report 6/13/91 • An inspection today revealed all the cottages are now removed. There has been substantial amounts of filling done on this property and I will be checking to see if permits have been taken out for this filling. S94 W14580 Groveway Lane (Hampel) An inspection made revealed that the razing of the cottage has started and is about 50% completed. I will send a letter urging a prompt completion of this demolition. S70 W16211 Martin Drive (Lindemann) An inspection made on June 13 revealed that there has been no change since May 2. Approximately 75-80% of the debris has been cleaned up, some debris remains. W179 58204 Reise Drive (Wauer) On December 27, 1990 a permit was taken out to raze the building. It was last inspected on April 29 and the building is still there. I made an inspection of the property on June 13 and the building is still there. I spoke with Mr. Carl Wauer and he stated that he has done some minor preparation for the razing of the building and he expects to have it down by or before the end of August. W195 56776 Hillendale Drive (Froelich) • A conversation with Attorney Vollmer's secretary on June 13 (Mr. Vollmer was not available) revealed that neither Suzzanne nor Clarence have signed this agreement as of this date. The secretary mentioned that she did not feel that there should be any problem getting Clarence's signature but that Suzzanne was going to be a problem. Based on the above mentioned conversa- tion, it would appear that this letter and document was used as a stall tactic to get the city off of their back for a few months. I will be following up with Mr. Vollmer sometime the week of June 17. OTHER MATTERS 5104 W15103 Loomis Drive (Wieselmann) A letter was written to Mr. Wieselmann on June 11 stating that the fence has been anchored properly as verified by inspection made on May 22, 1991. This letter was written in response to a request by Mr. Wieselmann. Truck Parking The question we had regarding truck parking has been resolved re - Ordinance #716 amending Chapter 17, Section 6.04(4) G.2.c. Mr. Wieselmann's parking was denied based on the 800' radius decision that was made. Parkland Mall (Reinspection) Please see the attached for information regarding this matter.
