-- 2 - • • member questioned Mr. Heinemann about the dumpster , he gave the following response : a. He did not know his garbage was being inspected; b. That it is not illegal to utilize a dumpster ; and c. The dumpster was only put out once a month. It is regrettable that kr. Heinemann was not asked what the contents of the dumpster were and, of course , he did not volunteer that information. It is noteworthy, however , that he did state that they never put out gar- bage or recycableslIt To me the dumpster contents were a clear signal that this was scrap materials from the commerical antenna activities being car- ried on at the Heinemann residential property. Mr. Heinemann is a sub- contractor for Evans Industrial Communications, Inc, , 4902 Pflaum Road, Madison. Although other neighbors can also atteat to the weekly presence of the dumpster along Hwy TT, the frequency of BFI dumpster pick-ups per month is really not important. However , BFI Waste Systems, 3083 County Trunk i,iE, Madison, would be able to provide some interesting details and data. Furthermore , John Norwell, Dane County Highway Commissioner , has ap- prised me that placing a commerical dumpster on the shoulder of any County Trunk Highway is illegal. He stated that locating such a dumpster on the shoulder of Hwy TT would be considered a road hazard and no Street Permit for the utilization of a dumpster in that manner would ever be issued. Since the Heinemann' s commercial dumpster was utilized on 2/8 to 2/9/93 and mentioned to the Committe on 2/9/93 , the dumpster has not been placed on the shoulder of Hwy TT of the Heinemann property. 2. In order to endeavor to establish whether commercial activities were indeed taking place on the Heinemann residential property, I observed, during the work-week of March 1 - 5 , 1993, from about 7:30 A. . to 9: 30 A. a. each day, the comings, goings and activities that I could observe taking place in back of the Heinemann home and in and around the adjacent building located behind the home . I did this to obtain a pattern of activ- ities by the Heinemanns and their workers. I was able to observe the back yard and adjacent building, apparently a portion of which at least is being utilized as a work shop, from the south ridge of Hwy TT which is consider- ably higher than the Heinemann property located on the north side of Hwy TT with the aid of binoculars. What I observed was that workmen (Mrs . B. Heinemann told neighbors in her canvass of the neighborhood on 3/6 and 3/7/ 93 , that they have 6 workmen) began to arrive between 7:45 and 8:10 2,.M. as a rule. A period of bustling work activity would ensue outside , within and around the adjacent building for anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour or longer (I would depart at 9 :30 A .-M. after the most obvious work activities had ceased. Having thus satisfied myself that work-related activities were indeed taking place , the next logical step was to have a Dane County Official as- certain whether my conclusions were properly founded. The Dane County Zoning Department was apprised of the possible non-compliance by the Heinemanns of activities restricted for a residential property. Inspector
