Description

Appeal of Dawn C. Wells for encroachment fees. (3273 N. 6th St.) (6th Aldermanic District)

Summary

The document concerns Milwaukee ordinances regulating vegetation that extends into public sidewalks, streets, or alleys. Under Sections 80.17.6, 116-55, and 116-56, property owners must trim encroaching trees, shrubs, or other vegetation, including maintaining at least eight feet of clearance above sidewalks. The City may correct violations after 15 days and bill the owner, with charges beginning at $195 and potentially becoming property-tax assessments. The notice for 3273 N. 6th Street lists $195 in charges, later shown as $308.65, plus possible administrative fees and collection consequences. Owners may appeal administrative procedures—not the underlying building order—within 120 days by submitting a written petition and $25 fee to the Administrative Review Board of Appeals.
