Case Feed building debris still sits at site
Photo
JANESVILLE City staff still were waiting Monday for paperwork needed to keep their crews from hauling the Case Feed building debris to the landfill.
The city tore down the structure at 922 Rockport Road on Aug. 30 after giving the owner, North American Group of Companies, Madison, a raze-or-repair order almost a year ago.
K. Andreah Briarmoon, real estate agent for the building, the day after demolition filed an appeal to the zoning board of appeals, asking that the owner’s agent, Nadeem Syed, be given the chance to salvage the brick and other material. Syed asked that he be allowed to salvage the remaining material on-site because the brick could be damaged in transport.
By that time, almost two-thirds of the debris already had been hauled away and dumped into the landfill.
The city stopped hauling the debris and gave the owner three days to file paperwork indicating he’d found a certified contractor to salvage the debris and waiving the city’s liability.
Syed, however, did not get the notice until Sept. 10 because of a “glitch” in the paperwork at the city, said Gale Price of the city’s community development office. The notice was hand delivered Sept. 10 by a police officer to Syed’s place of employment at Five Points Grocery & Beverage in Janesville.
If Syed does not file paperwork indicating he has a certified company to salvage the debris, the city will haul the remaining material to a temporary site at the landfill, where it would remain until the zoning board of appeals hearing Tuesday, Sept. 28.
As of late Monday afternoon, no paperwork had been filed with the city, Price said.

Of course it is. Some screwy goofball stuck her nose in where it DOESN'T belong.
I am curious WHY the owner bought this building only to let it decay. WHY? There aren't any cell towers on it!!
Wouldn't he ask to do this long ago when he didn't "fix or repair" OR ELSE?
Stomskid" dump in on Court street where it say "save Case" on the marquis.
Take the sign down . IT IS GONE!(almost)
Sannio- she has NO regard for any laws or codes. She brings these things on herself.
mytransam- CITY services consist of when the have to arrest her for NOT following the laws.
I am sure they would be better served doing something else besides babysitting KAB and keeping us safe from her.

Sigma40, the city is very willing to remove the debris but have the red tape to go through because of KAB's appeal. How can she file an appeal when it isn't even her property?

Get rid of that mess! The symbolism alone is devastating, not to mention the vermin that must be making homes in it, especially at this time of year.

Yes, and how about those deadline that were extended for Case and the carriage shack? Let's not forget those.

Anyone else see a pattern here? Private groups are given a deadline to raise money for a new ice arena. They didn't do it in time, so the city saw fit to change the deadline. Janesville- City Of Parks???!!! How about Janesville- City Of Ever-Changing Deadlines!

Spending money to whip Graff into shape is money well spent.
As for cleaning up Case, your champion has exploited the largess of our democratic system with paperwork for the purpose of putting the cleanup on hold.

"the city resources she uses up could be better spent elsewhere."
Yes, "could be", but WOULD they be? Doubtful.

Once those bricks hit the landfill they become a liability issue for the city. KAB can't walk in there and load them up, neither can Syed. What if they hurt themselves or claimed to? One big lawsuit. I'm not even sure a contracting company can go in there and extract them. The Zoning Board of Appeals will take all this into consideration when the case is reviewed at the meeting. The ZBA is very fair to the citizens, my guess is they would want them to have the bricks but not at the expense of a lawsuit against the city.

Sannio/ Are you kidding me? Sure she shows up at every Council meeting, it's her obsession to get her name in the minutes and her face on TV. She knows she's not helping the community because no one is backing her up, except maybe you. Do you actually listen to what she says at these meetings? Pointless and meaningless agreement or disagreement comments about whatever subject the Council is discussing. She's actually pretending to be a Council member because she can't get elected as one. This woman is two fries short of a happy meal and you admire her? She's costing each and every tax payer a lot of money with her antics, including you.

Right or wrong, K. Andreah Briarmoon shows up for most of the counsel meetings, and knows what's going on in this community.
I'm not trying to make any judgment here, I'm just saying she gets out and puts her time and effort into what she believes in, and she believes she's helping the community.
She continues year after year amid quite a negative atmosphere.
For that, I give her credit.

Maybe Briarmoon can gather up the bricks and put messages on them and throw them through City Council member's windows like her uncle Ernest T. Bass
