Abatement, 2375 Madison Street (Dannemiller) I-A-3 Manager explained that abatement of this building was authorized in September 1973, but because the owner was making some progress, the builidng permIt was extended. However, even with extension, the building remains hazardous, as set out in memo from the building department previously distributed to Council members. Staff recommended proceeding with the abatement. Public hearing was opened. Lynda Wilt, 1990 Garfield Street, and Gary Buchholz, 27119 Bertelsen Road, were opposed to the abatement on the basis that no real hazard existed. They ac- knowledged that the recycled lumber being used was unsightly but declared the building was secure against entry. They felt that given more time, the build- ing would "come together." Robert Dannemiller, owner of the property, described the work he was accomplishing on the house and itemized work already finished. He presented pictures and said the materials would be cleaned up. Entry could not be made, he said, unless forced. He recognized the protracted time in completing the project but explained his job loss, lack of finances, etc. He asked for more time to complete the work - nine months - since he felt his position now was such that the would could be completed by that time. Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony presented. - Manager suggested that within the next two weeks Mr. Dannemiller present the building department with some written plan of work contemplated so as to arrive at some arrangement for completion of the building in a reasonable time. He said quite a bit of work had been done on the building, and recommended holding further abatement proceedings for two weeks. Mr. Keller moved second by Mr. Haws to hold action on the abatement proceedings for two weeks. Motion carried unanimously. D.
