A Warsaw property owner who has worked with the city's building department has until the end of 1996 to get his renovation plans approved and obtain a valid building permit, Warsaw's Board of Works ruled today.

Ted Rondeau, who appeared before the board in a housing hearing at the board's last meeting, agreed to move his tenant out of the four-residence building, to finalize his building plans and to abide by the building department's schedule.

The board will establish a performance bond for Rondeau at its Jan. 3 meeting. Rondeau has until Dec. 31 to work out the details with Pam Kennedy, Warsaw building inspector, said Mayor Jeff Plank.

If Rondeau fails to submit a plan to Kennedy, Plank said, "the clock will begin ticking on a per-day fine."

Kennedy said the next Board of Works meeting will discuss problems with three rentals owned by DGL Rentals on East Fort Wayne Street. DGL Rentals is owned by Don Light, George Klinger and Lyle Metzger.

In other business, the Board of Works approved the city's assuming of electrical expenses for the Christmas decorations.

The board also thanked John Hileman for donating his services to fix a gas leak at a residence in the city's owner-occupied housing program, and Pete Gatke of the Warsaw Fire Department for installing smoke detectors in low-income homes. [[In-content Ad]]
