Hearing continued after attorney says property-owner will submit revised plans for 8 Dover conversion
Summary
A property at 8 Dover that had been converted to four units without permits was continued to a September hearing after the owner's attorney said a permit application and improved floor plans were filed; hearing officer asked for paperwork and scheduled the next hearing date.
City of Milwaukee Zoning Hearing Officer Robert Naslund continued the case for 8 Dover on Friday after an attorney for the property’s estate said an application and revised plans were in hand and more detailed plans would be submitted within days.
The matter involves a property that had been converted to a four‑family configuration; staff said two basement apartments had been created without permits and the property’s zoning allowed only two units. Staff told the hearing the owner reported the unpermitted units had been removed and that an application to regularize the work was filed the day before the hearing and a partial floor plan was emailed that morning.
Attorney Lathoris told the hearing, “we will submit a little bit more elaborate plan that Ian has shown us. I anticipate having that in a couple days, and we should be able to resolve this matter.” Ian, the zoning staff member working the file, told the hearing the application was received but could not be approved in its current form because the submitted floor plan was incomplete.
Why it matters: the case involves an alleged conversion beyond the property’s allowed occupancy and unresolved permit paperwork; resolving the permit is necessary to close outstanding enforcement and fine exposure.
Outcome and next steps: Naslund said the office would revisit the matter in a month to allow time for the applicant to submit complete plans and documentation. The hearing was continued to September 24, 2024; staff will notify affected parties and the case will return to the hearing docket if issues remain.
Ending: The file remains open pending submission and review of the revised plans; if the applicant resolves outstanding items, the case may be closed administratively without further hearing. If not resolved, the matter will return to the hearing docket.
