Tipton names new building commissioner and opens enforcement at 120 West Madison
Summary
Tim Bradford started as Tipton's building commissioner and outlined process improvements; planning staff reported nine permits issued, two failed inspections, and a zoning violation at 120 West Madison for operating a wildlife rehabilitation business that was ordered to remove animals within ten days.
Tipton introduced Tim Bradford as the city's new building commissioner in the planning department; Bradford said he started last Monday, listed previous experience in Westfield in infrastructure and community development, and said he will prioritize process improvements and coordination with regional counterparts.
Staff reported nine permits issued since last month (one electrical, one building, five fencing, two demolition). Planning staff (Paige) said she issued a zoning violation for 120 West Madison after a health-department complaint that wildlife were being rehabilitated at the address; staff said the business had 10 days to remove animals and that officers will check compliance.
Two final inspections were discussed: 604 Hickory Drive passed after a reinspection and was issued a certificate of occupancy; 875 Industrial Drive failed and requires remediation before a final inspection can be scheduled. A demolition permit for 'Sweetland' has been filed and paid; staff are awaiting the contractor's signature to finalize that permit.
