Friday, March 12th, 2010In the neighborhood: burglar to be sentenced
Friday, March 12th, 2010Antonio Z. Andrews will be sentenced on April Fool’s Day for his night-time Story Hill neighborhood crime wave this fall, according to court records.
The sentencing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. before Circuit Judge Richard Sankovitz.
Andrews pleaded guilty Feb. 24 to one count of burglary. He still faces misdemeanor charges in two other cases.
City to consider free fixes for city tree-damaged sidewalks
Thursday, February 18th, 2010Ald. Robert Bauman is sponsoring a measure that would exempt property owners from assessments for new sidewalk sections if the sidewalk damage necessitating replacement is caused by city trees.
The measure is expected to be considered today by the Common Council’s Public Works Committee.
South-of-Bluemound Rd. Story Hill property owners got new sidewalks last in the fall and will be looking at sizeable special assessments for those sidewalks on their next property bills.
Some of the old sidewalks were damaged by roots from city trees — as the trees grew, the roots pushed up the sidewalk slabs. The city’s attitude was basically “too bad, so sad” — the adjoining property owner was liable for 50% of the cost of the replacement sidewalk slab. That is the standard sidewalk assessment rate.
Any chance of making the “city tree exemption” retroactive?
In the neighborhood: The foot patrols
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010A number of folks have asked, “Why, oh why, have their been police foot patrols in the neighborhood?”
It’s reassuring, but a little unnerving, to see cops walk down sidewalks where they rarely tread, even during Brewers season.
Not to worry, according to Mark Stanmeyer, Police Department spokesman and neighborhood resident. There were some burglaries on the west side, although NOT in Story Hill — so District 3 ordered extra foot patrols. A few arrests were made in the meantime and the break-in problem seems to have gone away.
This does not mean you should leave your doors and windows unlocked, however. A vigilant neighbor late last month spotted a man wandering suspiciously around the neighborhood, called police and followed him, letting the police know where he went. They stopped him, and he was wanted on outstanding warrants. He went to jail that day.
In the neighborhood: Hank Aaron Trail featured
Thursday, March 18th, 2010The Hank Aaron State Trail is featured in a Rails to Trails magazine story written by Story Hill resident Mike Brady, who also manages to plug Story Hill.
Way to go, Mike.
That’s him in the picture, misidentified.
