The Village of Spring Green Board of Trustees voted Feb. 26 to issue a raze order to property owner Ellis Pifer for dilapidated structures at 433 W. Madison St.
Trustee Damian Barta moved to issue the raze order, and Trustee David Saperstein seconded. The motion carried by voice vote after the board considered the Building Inspector’s report and discussed issuing an order under Wis. Stat. § 66.0413, the board minutes state.
The board then voted to give the property owner 60 days from receipt of service of the raze order to remove personal property and raze the structures. That motion was made by Trustee Deb Miller and seconded by Trustee Jeannie McCarville; it carried by voice vote.
Trustee David Saperstein moved and Trustee Jean-Claude Bédard seconded a motion to authorize the Village President and the Village Clerk to sign the raze order on behalf of the board and to direct village staff to prepare and serve the order; that motion carried by voice vote.
The minutes do not specify further details about the inspector’s findings, remediation costs, or whether the village will perform the demolition if the owner does not comply. The statute cited in the meeting (Wis. Stat. § 66.0413) authorizes municipalities to address unsafe or uninhabitable structures; the board’s motion directs staff to proceed with preparing and serving the order.
The board reconvened from a closed session later in the meeting and took no additional public action on matters discussed there. The meeting adjourned at 8:27 p.m.
