Ald. Foldy presented a serious problem which has developed in Hale Park t
Meadows Subdivision. It appears the water table in the single 1500 foot
well serving the subdivision has dropped and can no longer produce the
500 gallons per minute as originally designed. There is also excessive
air in the system. Countless complaints have been received. Rite Realty
is aware of the problem and certain solutions are being considered. Ald.
Knudsen moved to have Building Inspector Lee withhold any further
Building Permits or Occupancy Permits for homes in Hale Park Meadows
since there is insufficient water to serve them. Seconded by Ald.
Wallner, motion carried. The committee will seek an opinion from City
Attorney Buckley regarding legal ramifications of not issuing new
building permits and occupancy permits in the subdivision and withholding
final approval of the Guernsey Meadows Subdivision. The engineering firm
of Ruekert & Mielke will review original engineering specifications of
the well and report back to the committee. The committee further
recommended that both fire departmentt*be notified of this water sit-
uation.
Ald. Foldy reviewed with the committee the continuing problem the city
•is having with House of Homes on Janesville Road. He advised the
committee that the screening originally required when the building was
moved to its present location is not serving the purpose as originally
intended and there is some doubt as to whether or not trees, shrubs, etc.
were even planted. Attorney Buckley will be asked to review with the
committee his actions against the House of Homes. Mr. Bertram will be
asked to check for noxious weeds on the lot and to have them cut if
they are present.
• The committee recommended that the Public Works Department have
"No trespassing" signs placed on the form Bluhm farm in order for the
police department to be able to cite trespassers.
