The acting chief noted that transcriptions were still needed from some of the taped Interviews and the lab reports were not finished on materials gathered at the site, In- cluding the flammable liquids. A report froth the National Fire Protection Association released last Thursday Indicates some guidelines set up by the national organization were not followed by the Milford Fire Department during its practice sea- siori. The report contains a list of 13 guidelines that it suggests should be followed anytime a “live fire” train- ing exercise takes place. Two of those seem not to have been followed, according to a fact sheet that accompanies the report. First, flammable liquids were used In starting the fires In the fl~ year- old farm house. The NFPA guidelines state flammable liquids should not be used or only under ocr- Highland United Methodist Church and Highland Baptist Church.— .

Some Investigators stated shortly after the fire that the department may have used up to three times the amount of fuel neede4. Second, the NFPA states before an exercise begins, hazardous storage should be removed and hazardous conditions should be corrected. The fact sheet states : “In addition to the flammable liquids, various combustible furnishings, such as sofas and chairs, contributed to the fuel load. Although the presence of flammable liquids is thought to have been significant in this incident, other fire spread variables such as combustible ceiling tile and wall finish materials are also thought to have affected the rapid build-up of the fire”. The fact sheet states alter the fires were Ignited on-the first floor, six fial- ly equipped firefighters went to the second floor. The unexpected rapid buildiq of fire on both floors forced the firefighters to try to escape through upstairs windows. tributed.

From Huron Valley Schools: the Apple Committee, Huron Valley Band Boosters, Milford Band Parents, Milford Marching Band, Milford Varsity Cheerleaders and Highland Elementary offered dona- tions. The Huron Valley Schools transportation department also wanted to offer Its own contribution which came in the form of bus shuttle service between Lone Tree Road and Milford High School. Transportation Director Gary Davis estimates over 100 people were serv- ed between 10:15 ajn. and 12:15 p.m. on Thursday.

The three who were unable to escape were Martha Baczynskl of Milford, Robert Gregory of Highland, and Thomas Phelps of Lyon Township. The NFPA also suggests a lafety officer be assigned to “prevent un- safe acts, eliminate unsafe condi- tions and to provide for the safety of all participants.” The report does not indicate If such an officer were pre- sent at the burn. The exercise was designed to train firefighters in the use of self- contained breathing apparatus . and to help them identify possible arson fires. The report Indicates a Minnesota firefighter died in a practice session five days prior to the Milford blaze. It acids nine of 53 fIrefighter training - deaths over the past 10 years haveoc- cun~ed during live fire or smoke training. Overall, most of the deaths were caused by heart attacks. In addition, South Lyon Big Boy, South Lyon Jaycees, Salem Jaycees, South Lyon Supply Company, Benson Catering, Atlas Truck Rental, Bob Evans and Fisher Big Wheel also . -contributed. While members of the local fire department were busily preparing for the solemn occasion, an area fraternity of firefighters turned out to staff the stations and take emergency calls, Including: Rose Township, West Bloomfield, Hoily, Wixom, Novi, Northvllle, the City of South Lyon, Pittsfield, Green Oak Township and Ann Arbor Township, coordinators said. Local businesses and organizations also donated food to the fire halls and the victims’ families. The donated food was estimated to have fed about 5,000 people. Highland Township merchant Ronald Colasan- ti drove the excess food in refrigerated trucks to three Detroit soup kitchens Friday. Students who need financial aid for college or graduate school are in- vited to write for their free pamphlet “Hot Tips On Obtaining Financial Aid,” being offered to the public by Great Potentials Resource Center ( GPRC). The pamphlet Is based upon research conducted by the Chicago- based financial aid Information center. It presents guidelines to help students have the best possible chance to successfully obtain finan- clal aid. GPRC Mid it has also studied the problem of why approximately $135 million in aid goes unused every year.

Nearly six months after it denied , Green Oak Industries’ request for tax abatement on a building addition, the township board voted Oct. 21 in favor .:- of granting applicant Dennis Dubuc a ~ ~hree-year abatement on his in- ~dustrial facility. ~I The motion passed 3-1 with Trustee ; ,Wallace Quails casting the lone dissenting vote. Clerk Marlyne McKIm, Treasurer Mary Buckless ., and Trustee JoAnn Murphy were all : absent from the meeting. . ~ . The action taken by the board ,, follows an appeal made to the State -~ -Tax Commission by Dubuc, who .., charged the township had denied his request without proper justification. On Aug. 18, the State Tax Commls• sion overturned the township’s denial •and approved an Industrial Facility Exemption Certificate for the corn- pany located at 126fl Ten Mile Road. The application was subsequently , ,returned to the township to make a ~C;determination as to the number of .. ~ ‘years the certificate (abatement) ~,‘wouid be in effect. Under Public Act . . j~, abatements can be granted for a •, 1 perlod of up to 12 years. For the second time this year. an Increase in landfill dumping fees by . Browning Ferris Industries will be •~p’assed on to residents in the City of SouthLyon. The price hike of nearly 18 cents :‘per unit per month went into effect .

The action took , place at council’s regular meeting of -Oct.26. : - Browning Ferris Industries, which ~I -owns the Lyon Development Corn- . ~mny Landfill In New Hudson and the Arbor Hills Sanitary Landfill ~ In Salem Township, raised the disposal cost per cubic yard from $3.60 to $4.10 on Oct. 1.

At that time, BFI said : ,, ts price hike was unavoidable due to •~ignificant increases in. equipment, -~ labor and environmental re- jannual ~ While South Lyon Area Pt- ~pkinfest ‘87 is only a month gone and : fall harvest pumpkins are still in . season, Pumpkinfest planners are ; already planning for next year’s ex- .1 travaganza. : Pumpkinfest planners have held : one meeting, reflecting on the highs I and lows of the recent festival. Now :comn the task of regrouping and :. preparing for a bigger and better : Pumpkinfest next year, said Helen ~Read, Pumpklnfest Committee I treasurer. ; An organizational meeting is fkheduled for Oct. 12, at 7 p.m. at the :Odd Fellows Hall on Warren Street to ~ begin planning for Pumpklnfest ‘88. ~Area residents are invited to attend. ~ ~‘Our biggest message is that we :~needhelp,” indicated Read, adding, :i”the same 12 to 15 people are trying ~tocover everything and we’re nmn- -ingoutofsteamand ideas.” I Groups are forming In arts and crafts, publicity, concessions, fund “We urge that the township be reasonable in its deliberations In deciding the number of years,” wrote John Person, secretary for the State Tax Commission, In a letter to Dubuc following the commissIon’s Aug. 18 meeting. . Dubuc, however, said last week he believes the township has been anything but reasonable. Though he did receive an eight-year abatement in May 1985 on the first phase of his building, Dubuc said the three-year abatement granted on the 9,~ foot building extension shows Inconsisten- cy on the part of the township. He also Is upset that it took two years to get the abatement request approved. Dubuc filed for an abate- ment on the building addition in Oc- tober 1985. ‘‘The state told them (the township) to be reasonable. I should have expected that they would ?ant me an eight-year abatement. That would be reasonable,” Dubuc said. In short, Dubuc bejieves he has been discriminated against and harassed by the township ever since the planning commission approved a quirements by the State of Michigan. City Manager Rod Cook said he an- ticipates substantial increases In dumping fees during the next two years as well. Cook pointed out that the Issue of limited landfill space and the associated costs are capturing the at- tentlonof many communities. Oakland County is currently forg- i~ahead with Its plans for a multi- million dollar solid waste incinera- tion plan. Meanwhile, South Lyon has joined a Solid Waste Consortium to independently study the issue in more detail. “It’s a business of supply and de- mand. There are fewer dumping sites and the prices seem to rise cx- ponentlally and not reasonably,” Thomas Duncan, owner of the Dun- can Disposal, told council members. City Attorney Parvin Lee added he thinks some tough question will In- evitably have to be asked. “There comes a point at which time one must determine whether the increase Is predicated on actual cost raising, recreational vehicles, park- Ing. clean-up, programs, entertain- ment and the annual queen contest. Read said planners would also llke.to add other programs, like an antique show and consumer displays. ~The trouble Is we get people who say, ‘Why don’t you do this next year?’ and we say, ‘Why don’t you come out and help us?’ and we haven’t had people coming to the meetings to support us,” Read said. This year’s Pwnpklnfnt netted $2,000. Most of the money will be channeled to publicity and supplies for next year’s Pumpkinfest. Money will also be earmarked for communl- ty projects and charitable donations, she said. In addition to Read, Pumpklnfest ‘88 officers include Chairperson Dean Sparks and Secretary Jan Renwick. Pumpklnfest ‘88 Is scheduled for Oct. 7-9, 1988, the first full weekend In October. site plan for the original building, on. ly to later find out it was too close to a residential subdivision and in viola- tion of the zoning ordinance. Dubuc said a sayings of between $1s,~ and $2O,~ will have been lost as a result of the township’s decision to grant him a three-year abatement instead of eight. Dubuc also cites three abatements granted by the township after he made his application for abatement on the building extension. In June of 1986. Kelsey Hayes was granted a seven-year abatement; in July 1986, Export Corp. received a six-year abatement; and in September 1986, Wagner Inc. received an ownership transfer on a seven-year abatement. Township SupervIsor Ron Niece said Friday he thought a three-year abatement was a fair compromise since some board members only wanted to grant Green Oak In- dustries a one-year abatement. Niece indicated one key factor the township takes into consideration when deciding the length of abatements Is busIness growth poten- or is an exercise of the monopoly power of one company owning all the dump sites In one area,” said Lee. The latest price increase is ex- pected to cost the city an additional $3,412 per year. Cook said the add!- tional costs would be reflected in residents’ water bills. In a related move, council voted to extend its agreement with Duncan Disposal for another year through June ~, 1990. The rubbish firm will charge an additional 1.4 percent for services during the 1969-90- fIscal- year. In his letter to council, Duncan indicated the Increase reflected in- creases in the Cost of Living index. Mayor Todd Wallace said he has been pleased with Duncan Disposal’s 4 ‘conacientow, good service over the years.” The motion to extend the con- tract carried 4-0. In other action at the Sept. 26 tial and the number of persons the business will employ. Niece said Dubuc has actually reduced his number of employees since the time his application was filed. Dubuc, however, said that at cer- tain times of the year he may have as many as ~) employees working at Green Oak Industries, depending upon the task at hand. The business does specialty work on cars for cx- hibit shows and also does low- volume, production painting. In addition, several businesses oc- cupying his buildings lease space, Dubuc said. The bottom line is that Dubuc sea no alternative to the abatement issue but to take the township to court. . “There’s no way I can appeal to the township and I can’t appeal to the state. I have to go to court,” Dubuc said. Meanwhile, Dubuc has requested the state conduct a performance evaluation of the township’s building department. The request stems from anongoingprnblem Dubuchashad in trying to get the township .10 Issue him a Certificate of Occupancy for meeting, council accepted the first reading of an ordinance to eliminate the compensation commission in the city. The vote was 3-1 with Wallace casting the lone dissenting vote. The commission was formed during the lSlOs to set salaries for elected of- ficlals in South Lyon. Council alsovotedtosendaprocoe- ed zoning change back to the piana- big commission for further review. James Walker and Donald Hillier had made a request to the planning commission to rezone land located at the northeast corner of Washington and Mcflattle streets from B-3, general business district to R-T, two- family residential district. The corn- mission had recommended approval, but some council members express- S concern about an already low commercial land inventory and are the second phase of his complex ( center and i-ear building). Bill Moyer, execitlve director for the Bureau of Construction Codes, has made a recommendation to the Construction Code Commission that the evaluatioá be conducted. Moyer said the commission will discuss the issue at its Nov. 4 meetIng. He would not offer any further comment. Niece acknowledged that he is aware a performance evaluation may be conducted, but said he views it as “a house cleaning exercise on their (the state’s) part.” Niece added he has “no fear of a review.” Though he did receive an occupan- cy permit for the first construction phase (front building) of Green Oak Industries, Dubuc said he has been trying for more than a year to have the township conduct a final inspec- tion of the second phase to secure the necessary occupancy permit. Initially, township building depart- mont officials informed Dubuc they would not Issue the permit since they believed the building had not been constructed according to the approv- S blueprints submitted and approv- The city has learned it has approx- imately $22,0~J available through CDBG. It appears those monies will be put toward resurfacing of local streets. The application showing the list of CDBG projects must be corn- pleted by Dec. 18.

In February of 1917, a letter reitiv- ed by Dubuc from BuIldIng Insp4~’~r Gordon Appleton ordered him to vacate the building until sevçal safety Items could be addressed:No specIfIc violations were listed, however. “The (building) code says that they are to provide one (a list) In writing if violations exist,” D~ibuc said. . - The stalemate continued for moo- ths and at one point the township threatened to take him to coçt. Dubuc said the threat was without substance and caused harm to . his business. Currently, Niece said township of- ficials will have nothing to do with Dubuc’s buildings as a result of ,the conflicts they have encountered- In late September, Dubuc was granted a building permit froM the State of Michigan not the towi~sblp to construct a 7,5~ square (oot building adjacent to Green Oak-In- dustries. Dubuc said at least 2,500 square feet will be used for office space. .. Included in the list of possible I~ provement projects is a drain cultert replacement and extension frOm McHattle to the Yerkes drain. Cook indicated this was proposed due to greater than expected water runOff along Pontiac Trail. The estimated price tag for this proposal is ssidoo to$60,000.

went over what we know,” Mallettsaid.

The acting chief noted thattranscriptions werestill needed fromsome of the taped Interviews and thelab reports were not finished onmaterials gathered at the site, In-cluding the flammable liquids.

A report froth the National FireProtection Association released lastThursday Indicates some guidelinesset up by the national organizationwerenot followed by the Milford FireDepartment during its practice sea-siori.

The report contains a list of 13guidelines that it suggests should befollowed anytime a “live fire” train-ing exercise takes place.

Two of those seem not to have beenfollowed, according to a fact sheetthat accompanies the report.

First, flammable liquids were usedIn starting the fires In the fl~year-old farm house. The NFPAguidelines state flammable liquidsshould not be usedor only under ocr-

after the fire that the departmentmay have used up to three times theamount of fuel neede4.

Second, the NFPA states before anexercise begins, hazardous storageshould be removed and hazardousconditions should be corrected.

The fact sheet states : “In additionto the flammable liquids, variouscombustible furnishings, such assofas and chairs, contributed to thefuel load. Although the presence offlammable liquids is thought to havebeen significant in this incident,other fire spread variables such ascombustible ceiling tile and wallfinish materials are also thought tohave affected the rapid build-up ofthe fire”.

The fact sheet states alter the fireswere Ignited on-the first floor, six fial-ly equipped firefighters went to thesecond floor. The unexpected rapidbuildiq of fire on both floors forcedthe firefighters to try to escapethrough upstairs windows.

The NFPA also suggests a lafetyofficer be assigned to “prevent un-safe acts, eliminate unsafe condi-tions and to provide for the safety ofall participants.” The report does notindicate If such an officer were pre-sent at the burn.

The exercise was designed to trainfirefighters in the use of self-contained breathing apparatus . andto help them identify possible arsonfires.

The report Indicates a Minnesotafirefighterdied in a practice sessionfive days prior to the Milford blaze. Itacids nine of 53 fIrefighter training -

I . ‘ Nearly six months after it denied, Green Oak Industries’ request for tax

abatement on a building addition, thetownship board voted Oct. 21 in favor

.:- of granting applicant Dennis Dubuc a~ ~hree-yearabatement on his in-~dustrial facility.~ I The motion passed 3-1 with Trustee; ,Wallace Quails casting the lone

dissenting vote. Clerk MarlyneMcKIm, Treasurer Mary Buckless

., and Trustee JoAnn Murphy were all: absent from the meeting.

. ~. The action taken by the board,, follows an appeal made to the State-~ -Tax Commission by Dubuc, who.., charged the township had denied his

request without properjustification.On Aug. 18, the State Tax Commls•

sion overturned the township’s denial•and approved an Industrial FacilityExemption Certificate for the corn-pany located at 126fl Ten Mile Road.

The application was subsequently, ,returned to the township to make a~C;determination as to the number of.. ~‘years the certificate (abatement)~,‘wouid be in effect. Under Public Act

Now:comn the task of regrouping and:. preparing for a bigger and better: Pumpkinfest next year, said Helen~Read, Pumpklnfest CommitteeI treasurer.; An organizational meeting isfkheduled for Oct. 12, at 7 p.m. at the:Odd Fellows Hall on Warren Street to~begin planning for Pumpklnfest ‘88.~Arearesidents are invited to attend.~ ~‘Ourbiggest message is that we:~needhelp,” indicated Read, adding,:i”the same 12 to 15 people are trying~tocover everything and we’re nmn--ingoutofsteamand ideas.”I Groups are forming In arts andcrafts, publicity, concessions, fund

“We urge that the township bereasonable in its deliberations Indeciding the number of years,” wroteJohn Person, secretary for the StateTax Commission, In a letter to Dubucfollowing the commissIon’s Aug. 18meeting.. Dubuc, however, said last week hebelieves the township has beenanything but reasonable. Though hedid receive an eight-year abatementin May 1985 on the first phase of hisbuilding, Dubuc said the three-yearabatement granted on the 9,~footbuilding extension shows Inconsisten-cy on the part of the township.

He also Is upset that it took twoyears to get the abatement requestapproved. Dubuc filed for an abate-ment on the building addition in Oc-tober 1985.

‘‘The state told them (thetownship) to be reasonable. I shouldhave expected that they would ?antme an eight-year abatement. Thatwould be reasonable,” Dubuc said.

In short, Dubuc bejieves he hasbeen discriminated against andharassed by the township ever sincethe planning commission approved a

quirements by the State of Michigan.City Manager Rod Cook said he an-

ticipates substantial increases Indumping fees during the next twoyears as well.

Cook pointed out that the Issue oflimited landfill space and theassociated costs are capturing the at-tentlonof many communities.

Oakland County is currently forg-i~aheadwith Its plans for a multi-million dollar solid waste incinera-tion plan. Meanwhile, South Lyon hasjoined a Solid Waste Consortium toindependently study the issue inmore detail.

“It’s a business of supply and de-mand. There are fewer dumpingsites and the prices seem to rise cx-ponentlally and not reasonably,”Thomas Duncan, owner of the Dun-can Disposal, told council members.

City Attorney Parvin Lee added hethinks some tough question will In-evitably have to be asked.

“There comes a point at whichtime one must determine whether theincrease Is predicated on actual cost

raising, recreational vehicles, park-Ing. clean-up, programs, entertain-ment and the annual queen contest.Read said planners would also llke.toadd other programs, like an antiqueshow and consumer displays.

‘ ~Thetrouble Is we get people whosay, ‘Why don’t you do this nextyear?’ and we say, ‘Why don’t youcome out and help us?’ and wehaven’t had people coming to themeetings to support us,” Read said.

This year’s Pwnpklnfnt netted$2,000. Most of the money will bechanneled to publicity and suppliesfor next year’s Pumpkinfest. Moneywill also be earmarked for communl-ty projects and charitable donations,shesaid.

In addition to Read, Pumpklnfest‘88 officers include Chairperson DeanSparks and Secretary Jan Renwick.

Pumpklnfest ‘88 Is scheduled forOct. 7-9, 1988, the first full weekend InOctober.

site plan for the original building, on.ly to later find out it was too close to aresidential subdivision and in viola-tion of the zoning ordinance.

Dubuc said a sayings of between$1s,~and $2O,~will have been lostas a result of the township’s decisionto grant him a three-year abatementinstead of eight.

Dubuc also cites three abatementsgranted by the township after hemade his application for abatementon the building extension. In June of1986. Kelsey Hayes was granted aseven-year abatement; in July 1986,Export Corp. received a six-yearabatement; and in September 1986,Wagner Inc. received an ownershiptransfer on a seven-year abatement.

Township SupervIsor Ron Niecesaid Friday he thought a three-yearabatement was a fair compromisesince some board members onlywanted to grant Green Oak In-dustries a one-year abatement.

Niece indicated one key factor thetownship takes into considerationwhen deciding the length ofabatements Is busIness growth poten-

or is an exercise of the monopolypower of one company owning all thedump sites In one area,” said Lee.

The latest price increase is ex-pected to cost the city an additional$3,412 per year. Cook said the add!-tional costs would be reflected inresidents’ water bills.

In a related move, council voted toextend its agreement with DuncanDisposal for another year throughJune ~, 1990. The rubbish firm willcharge an additional 1.4 percent forservices during the 1969-90- fIscal-year. In his letter to council, Duncanindicated the Increase reflected in-creases in the Cost of Living index.

Mayor Todd Wallace said he hasbeen pleased with Duncan Disposal’s4 ‘conacientow, good service over theyears.” Themotion to extend the con-tract carried 4-0.

In other action at the Sept. 26

tial and the number of persons thebusiness will employ. Niece saidDubuc has actually reduced hisnumber of employees since the timehis application was filed.

Dubuc, however, said that at cer-tain times of the year he may have asmany as ~) employees working atGreen Oak Industries, dependingupon the task at hand. The businessdoes specialty work on cars for cx-hibit shows and also does low-volume, production painting.

In addition, several businesses oc-cupying his buildings lease space,Dubuc said. The bottom line is thatDubuc sea no alternative to theabatement issue but to take thetownship to court.

.“There’s no way I can appeal to thetownship and I can’t appeal to thestate. I have to go to court,” Dubucsaid.

Meanwhile, Dubuc has requestedthe state conduct a performanceevaluation of the township’s buildingdepartment. The request stems fromanongoingprnblem Dubuchashad intrying to get the township .10 Issuehim a Certificate of Occupancy for

meeting, council accepted the firstreading of an ordinance to eliminatethe compensation commission in thecity. The vote was 3-1 with Wallacecasting the lone dissenting vote. Thecommission was formed during thelSlOs to set salaries for elected of-ficlals in South Lyon.

Council alsovotedtosendaprocoe-ed zoning change back to the piana-big commission for further review.James Walker and Donald Hillierhad made a request to the planningcommission to rezone land located atthe northeast corner of Washingtonand Mcflattle streets from B-3,general business district to R-T, two-family residential district. The corn-mission had recommended approval,but some council members express-S concern about an already lowcommercial land inventory and are

the second phase of his complex( center and i-ear building).

Bill Moyer, execitlve director forthe Bureau of Construction Codes,has made a recommendation to theConstruction Code Commission thatthe evaluatioá be conducted. Moyersaid the commission will discuss theissue at its Nov. 4 meetIng. He wouldnot offer any further comment.

Niece acknowledged that he isaware a performance evaluationmay be conducted, but said he viewsit as “a house cleaning exercise ontheir (the state’s) part.” Niece addedhe has “no fearof a review.”

Though he did receive an occupan-cy permit for the first constructionphase (front building) of Green OakIndustries, Dubuc said he has beentrying for more than a year to havethe township conduct a final inspec-tion of the second phase to secure thenecessary occupancy permit.

Initially, township buildingdepart-mont officials informed Dubuc theywould not Issue the permit since theybelieved the building had not beenconstructed according to the approv-S blueprints submitted and approv-

The city has learned it has approx-imately $22,0~J available throughCDBG. It appears those monies willbe put toward resurfacing of localstreets. The application showing thelist of CDBG projects must be corn-pleted by Dec. 18. A public hearingwill also need to be held before anyaction Is taken regarding the CDBG

In Februaryof 1917, a letter reitiv-ed by Dubuc from BuIldIng Insp4~’~rGordon Appleton ordered him tovacate the building until sevçalsafety Items could be addressed:NospecIfIc violations were listed,however.

“The (building) code says thatthey are to provide one (a list) Inwriting if violations exist,” D~ibucsaid. . -

The stalemate continued for moo-ths and at one point the townshipthreatened to take him to coçt.Dubuc said the threat was withoutsubstance and caused harm to .hisbusiness.

Currently, Niece said township of-ficials will have nothing to do withDubuc’s buildings as a result of ,theconflicts they have encountered-

In late September, Dubuc wasgranted a building permit froM theState of Michigan — not the towi~sblp— to construct a 7,5~square (ootbuilding adjacent to Green Oak-In-dustries. Dubuc said at least 2,500square feet will be used for officespace. ..

Included in the list of possible I~provement projects is a drain cultertreplacement and extension frOmMcHattle to the Yerkes drain. Cookindicated this was proposed due togreater than expected water runOffalong Pontiac Trail. The estimatedprice tag for this proposal is ssidooto$60,000.
