MINUTES OF MEETING HELD MARCH 12, 1992
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 P.M. by Chairman Taube.
Also present were Committee Members Patterson and Simmons,
Building Inspection Director Chuck Dykstra, Mayor Salentine and
Chief Johnson.
The Committee reviewed attached update on Citations and
Condemnations with Chuck Dykstra. Ald. Patterson moved to send a
letter to Mr. Mort Bailey to advise that the City is proceeding
with condemnation procedure with the Froehlich property at W195
56776 Hillendale Drive. Seconded by Ald. Simmons, motion
carried. Ald. Taube will contact the property owner at W188 57658
Oak Grove Drive to determine if a voluntary removal of the
structure could be accomplished before the City would proceed with
condemnation procedures.
The Committee reviewed existing forms and ordinances. No changes
were determined at the present time.
Chuck Dykstra indicated that the ditch bonds were still being
reviewed.
The Committee reviewed Waukesha County's proposed "No Parking"
regulations on CTH L between Tess Corners and Durham Drive as
addressed in Waukesha County Transportation Department's Ordinance
#146-99, dated February 6, 1992. Ald. Simmons moved to recommend
a resolution be adopted, and mailed to Waukesha County, indicating
the following:
"No Parking" zone on the north side of CTH L, west
of Tess Corners Drive be left as presently signed;
which is a "No Parking" zone 33' from curve west on
CTH L to present "No Parking" sign.
Seconded by Ald. Taube, motion carried.
The Committee reviewed correspondence from Waukesha County dated
March 2, 1992, requesting the City to review two "No Parking"
zones; one on CTH L (Janesville Road) and one on CTH Y (Racine
Avenue). Ald. Simmons moved to send a letter to Waukesha County
recommending the following:
In regard to parking restrictions on CTH L in the area of
Park Drive (vicinity of former Dandelion Park) the
Committee believes that existing "No Parking" zone
should remain as presently posted.
In regard to CTH Y (Racine Avenue) "No Parking" zones
at Woods Road (vicinity of the High School), the City
wishes to have the zone remain as it.
Seconded by Ald. Taube, motion carried.

March 12, 1992
Correspondence from Chief Johnson was reviewed regarding a request
for a stop sign at Hawthorne and Emerson. A study was done in
November of 1990, and it is the Police Department's opinion that
since there have been no appreciable change in traffic patterns,
the request for a stop sign at that intersection should be
denied. Ald. Patterson moved to approve installation of a stop
sign. The motion failed for lack of a second. Ald. Simmons moved
to deny request. Seconded by Ald. Taube, motion carried. The
Committee requested that the Police Department continue to monitor
area.
The meeting adjourned at 8:32 P.M.

Mr. Dennis Pippin of the DNR has advised our department that the
DNR will be removing all of the tires at A-1 Storage no later than
April 15, 1992. The matter was again in court on March 7, 1992
and was adjourned until April 25 in light of the information
received from the DNR.
W187 57825 Janesville Road (Benson Oil Co.)
This property was purchased by Jenkel Oil Co., 425 South
Washington Street, Combined Locks, Wisconsin. A letter has been
sent to Jenkel Oil Co. informing them that they must remove the
abandoned tanks. The original citation issued to Benson Oil was
dismissed on March 7, 1992. If the new owner does not comply, a
new citation will be issued to Jenkel oil.
W187 56922 Gold Drive (Dale Kreil)
On February 20, the Board of Appeals denied Mr. Kreil's appeal of
the Plan Commission determination that he could not park more than
two boats 15' in length at his residential site. The Board has
given him until June 15 to remove the boats. I sent Mr. Kreil a
letter on March 4, 1992 informing him that he has still not proven
that any of the boats on the property are his personal boats. I
have instructed him to contact Officer Gary Mrotek of the Muskego
Police Department sometime this week to go over the paperwork and
the I.D. numbers to verify his personal ownership of the boats.
At the last court date, the case was adjourned until March 21.

A citation was issued to Mr. Miller for failure to remove illegal
signs and failure to obtain Plan Commission approval and purchase
the necessary permits for temporary signs at the above locations.
At the court date of February 15, 1992, Mr. Miller did not
appear. He was found guilty and fined $67. As of this date, he
has paid the court fine and has taken out the necessary permits
for the temporary signs, which were approved by the Plan
Commission. Mr. Miller was issued another citation on
February 14 for failure to comply with approved soil erosion
measures within the specified time. Court date is set for

Lembezeder, Hillendale, Gold, College, and Racine Area •
Regarding Ron Ford's concerns about soil erosion in this area,
letters were sent out on the 19th of February to property owners
who may have trails located on their property. The letter
requested that they post "No Trespassing" signs on the trails, and
make an effort to try to restore some vegetation in these areas.
Response has been less than spectacular.
