Simmons Secretary P J CITATIONS REPORT BY CHUCK DYKSTRA, SR. TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE JANUARY 9, 1992 S83 W18550 Saturn Drive (A-1 Storage) A final inspection was made on December 26 by one of our inspectors with a few items cited that require correction. Mr. Bob Herriot has contacted our department and requested the results of that inspection. Our department has outlined the results in a letter forwarded to A-1 Storage on December 31. We have not been called to do a reinspection as of this date. A-1 Storage cannot obtain a certificate of occupancy until an inspection verifies that there are no violations. Two citations are still outstanding and have been adjourned until January 18, 1992. W187 57825 Janesville Road (Benson.Oil Co.) On October 26, 1991, this case regarding the underground storage tanks was adjourned until February 1, 1992. I have still not issued the razing permit for the structure that was on this property. The structure, however, is down. A plumbing permit was just requested on January 8, 1992 to verify disconnection of sewer. Our department has received confirmation through Fax correspondence that gas and electric utilities have been disconnected. S99 W21351 Parker Drive (Esther Hartman) As reported last month, I had contacted Mr. Hartman in writing giving him until January 15 to restore the two buildings he desired to keep. I will make another inspection of this property at that time. 5102 W18758 Kelsey Drive (Tewes) I spoke with Mr. Tewes at the end of December. He stated that he has begun to take the structure down. He has been contacted by Agnes Posbrig of the Muskego Historical Society who requested lumber from the structure. Mr. Tewes was not sure when he spoke with me if he would have the time to grant Mrs. Posbrig's request when razing the structure. W195 56776 Hillendale Drive (Froelich) No change from last month. • Page 2 Public Safety Committe Report 1/9/92 OTHER MATTERS Lake Forest Subdivision - Phase I (Terra Development) Problems incurred in the first section of Lake Forest regarding soil erosion enforcement have been addressed via a new conditions of approval letter which give the department more control over contractors. This is working very well so far. W188 57598 Oak Grove Drive (Ed Lyon) An inspection made by our department on January 3, 1992 revealed that Mr. Lyon has completed siding 75% of the lower 8' of his home as outlined in my letter to him dated November 22, 1991. By February 1, 1992, 100% of the lower 8' of the structure must have siding installed. Another inspection will take place after the February deadline. W208 58097 Hillendale On December 18, 1991 I sent a memo to Alderman Harold Sanders regarding the garage at this address being subject to condemnation. It is my understanding that the alderman has 30 days to attempt to get the building removed voluntarily. I have not had a response from Alderman Sanders as of this date. W188 S7658 Oak Grove Drive On January 8, I spoke with Attorney Jack Wisniewski. He is the attorney handling the estate that owns this property. I will be in contact with him next week to make an inspection of the dwelling. Through a memo from the assessor's office dated December 13, 1991, I have been informed that the equalized value of the building is $17,200.
