Met with Ken Sack the Owner
David Bartholomew and I did a site visit to see the condition of a building used as
a slaughter house business. The structure had been remodeled without a permit
with the installation of a large walk-in work in refrigerator. In a sense, a building
within a building. The existing building appeared to have a small office and
bathroom. We could not find a septic but the building may have a shared a septic
with the house nearby. A storage tank was installed on the NW end. As per Mr.
Sack, this was to store the material from the floor drains. Another pipe was
inst— alTe-through the wall to the outside of the SW corner. Mr. Sack said that was
for collecting blood from the slaughter process. The framing for the refrigerated
box may be in question. The attachments from the existing building to the refrig
structure were not adequate. It did not appear the electricity was done to code
with bare romex wire and unsupported electrical conduit. The refri units did no
appear to have drains. Large areas of unprotected foam insulation were expose
which would be a fire hazard. As per Mr. Sack, the prior owner was Frank
Billmeyer. He said the building had been a cabinet shop. We took pictures of the
inside and walked around the outside. It did not appear that any animals had
been slaughter in the structure. They were still moving equipment into the
structure.
I explained some of the issues with Mr. Sack and said that a design professional
would need to review the structure as well as our inspectors. I explained that the
building permit process could be done concurrently with the land use, but we
could not issue the building permit until the land use permit was issued.
