COMMUNICATIONS MISCELLANEOUS
4-23-07
Dear Mr. Mayor, City Council and City Engineer
There is a house at 3399 – 14th Street that is now for sale by
Zanglin Realty of Trenton. Phone #675-7500. This house is
nonconforming by Wyandotte Building Code.
It sits at the back of the lot and was refused a building permit
for a garage a few years back by our City’s Planning Committee or
some similar group in our City.
I think this house should be bought by the City and demolished. It
is a very large lot about 80 ft x 140 feet and this lot could be
sold for rebuilding a nice brick home which conforms better to our
neighborhood.
Please look into this if you will. Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Ron Rushford, 3461 14th Street, Wyandotte

From: Sam Ansara, 3249 Biddle, Wyandotte, MI 48192
Re: Outdoor café encroachment
My name is Sam Ansara, I am the owner of Austin's H.P. Grille,
3249 Biddle. I am writing the city to request its permission
encroach in the Eureka and Biddle right of ways. The encroachment
on Biddle is .55", and the encroachment on Eureka is 10%09". These
new encroachments are in line with the existing sign, which has
been in that location for several years, please see attached
survey. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me at
586-530-5555.
Very truly yours
Sam Ansara

Communication from:
David and Carolyn Razmek
605 Orchard Street, Wyandotte, MI
734-282-6613
Subject: Status of the vacant lot known as 615 Orchard
To our Honorable Mayor James DeSana and City Council
On September 25, 2006 Dave and I attended the city council meeting
to present documentation of our request to bid on the property at
615 Orchard Street per city guidelines, and the outright sale of
the property to Jerry and Lisa Fivecoat.
At the council meeting September 25, 2006 we were told a purchase
agreement had been entered into with the Fivecoat's and the
engineering office would work with the purchaser to resolve as
quickly as possible the issue of setback from our property that we
have been promised.
In our last communication with the mayor's office and the
department of engineering, dated February 5, 2007 we requested a
date be set to resolve this issue and we were told the Fivecoat's
were very close to submitting a revised plan.
We are approaching the end of April, 2007 with no resolution.
There is debris on the property and soon the grass will need to be
cut. We are again requesting a date be set to resolve this issue,
so that we may determine next steps with our home at 605 Orchard
Street.
Thank you,
Carolyn Razmek
PERSONS IN THE AUDIENCE
Jody Chansuolme, Museum Director, presented the following:
April 19, 2007
Dear Citizens of Wyandotte,
Congratulations to Wyandotte on your designation as a Preserve
America community! The preservation and enjoyment of your
historical and cultural resources celebrate an important part of
our nation’s heritage. You honor our nation’s past and inspire and
educate for the future.
President Bush and I applaud your achievement. As your community
shares its story with residents and visitors, you set a great
example for others.
The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation will soon send a
package of relevant information and materials. Thank you for your
enthusiastic participation in the Preserve America initiative.
Sincerely,
Laura Bush, Honorary Chair, Preserve America
COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITY AND OTHER OFFICIALS
April 25, 2007
The Honorable City Council City of Wyandotte
Gentlemen and Madam:
I am writing to submit the name of Mark A. Kowalewski for
re-appointment as City Engineer for a two-year term retroactive to
April 16, 2007 and ending R Aril 20, 2009. I am recommending that
Mr. Kowalewski's annual salary remain at $101,504.00, plus
benefits identical to those provided other non-union general city
employees, except for any approved general salary increases.
I am also recommending that the City Engineer continue to receive
an annual auto allowance. Since 2001, Mr. Kowalewski has been
receiving an auto allowance of $2,000.00 per year. At that time,
gasoline was $1.40/gallon. Taking into consideration that gas is
now at $2.75/gallon (or more), I am recommending that his annual
auto allowance be increased to $3,000.00 per year. I am sure you
understand that the $3,000.00 is for more than just gasoline. Mr.
Kowalewski attends many meetings outside Wyandotte on city
business and uses his personal vehicle to travel to and from those
locations. In addition to gas, there are extra expenses including
insurance, license plates, and wear and tear on his vehicle.
While I was investigating this issue, I also discovered that Todd
Drysdale uses his personal vehicle for city business and submits
monthly mileage reports for reimbursement. I am, therefore,
recommending that Mr. Drysdale also receive an annual auto
allowance, eliminating the need for him to file a monthly mileage
report. Mr. Drysdale's annual auto allowance would be set at
$1,000.00.
In closing, I request your concurrence in my recommendation and
further, direct the Director of Financial and Administration to
submit the appropriate budget amendments if necessary.
Sincerely,
James R. DeSana, Mayor

Dear Mayor DeSana and City Council Members:
I hereby certify and report that the attached is the Special
Assessment roll, and the assessment made by me pursuant to a
resolution of the City Council adopted on February 13, 2007, for
the purpose of paying that part of the cost which the Council
decided should be paid and borne by special assessment for the
Phase IV Streetscape in the City of Wyandotte, to wit:

Notice of Special Assessment District #902
William R. Griggs, City Clerk
City of Wyandotte, Wyandotte, MI 48192
Dear Mr. Griggs:
I received your notice of a special assessment in the amount of
$1,115.21 for property at 3848 Biddle Ave Phase IV Streetscape –
west side Biddle Avenue (Orchard – Forest) in the City of
Wyandotte. That must apply to all eight condos. First place that
frontage does not belong to me but belongs to the County.
I’ve been a resident in the City of Wyandotte for 73 ½ years. I
opened a print shop in 1971 which I managed to establish a very
lucrative business. By 1985 the City ran me out of business by
building a boulevard in front of the business, closing of Forest
Street at Fourth, denying me a parking lot next to my building,
thus costing me thousands of dollars in revenue. Now they want to
further penalize me by making me pay for something I have
absolutely no use for nor can benefit by. I feel I have suffered
enough both financially and emotionally by benefiting someone
else. They chose to render my building useless and now want me to
compensate them.
Consequently, I will be seeking legal advice.
Yours truly,
Edward Grzegorczyk, 3848 Biddle, Wyandotte, MI 48192

Dear Mayor DeSana and Council Members:
The notices sent out on April 4, 2007, regarding the
establishments of the Special Assessment Districts for Phase V
were incorrect. They did not reflect the reduction in cost for the
Downtown Development Authority contribution and the Grant.
The notices contained the estimated construction cost instead of
the assessable cost. See enclosed letter of March 28, 2007 to the
City Council.
The correct estimated assessable costs were sent out with another
notice on April 25, 2007
I apologize for any confusion this may have caused the property
owners who would be assessed.

Re: Objections to the proposed 2007 CBD Streetscape Project for
Eureka
Dear Sir:
I am the owner of apartment premises located at 335-337 Eureka,
Wyandotte, and I object to the creation of a Special Assessment
District to pay for this proposed public improvement.
This project contemplates the installation of pedestrian lights,
walks, etc., along a two-block area on Eureka from 3rd to 5th
Streets and is clearly designed to extend existing pedestrian
lighting from the City Center outward and expand the City's
beautification scheme for this area. This project would benefit
the entire City if it goes forward and therefore, should be funded
by general assessment or from other general funds rather than by
the very few owners of property in this limited area.
