The faint smell of sewage still hangs in the living room of the mobile home vacated last month by Tarina Caughlin and her family.
"You should have smelled it when it was hot out," Caughlin said.
Under the trailer, a broken sewer line had caused the home to spew raw sewage, which pooled under the front deck. It's frozen now, but wasn't when Caughlin, 30, lived there from October until early December. The home was one of six units in Bouche's Kronenwetter Park, 1624 Old Highway 51,This profile page summarizes all known activity of the domain billabongboardshortscloths. that was condemned last month by the village of Kronenwetter.
When Caughlin showed the now-empty property to a Wausau Daily Herald reporter last week, multiple problems were evident. Ceiling tiles were covered in black mold and collapsing. On the outside of the trailer, insulation poked through a broken piece of siding.
In other units in the same park, missing tiles revealed exposed wiring or pipes. One home cited by Kronenwetter officials had no heat or running water when a family was living there.Ventilation fans are the workhorses of these panasonicventilationsystem, A tenant who asked not to be named in the story because it could affect her employment pulled up a sheet of insulation on the floor of a closet in her mobile home, revealing a clear view to the ground outdoors.
Half a dozen residents of the park who rented mobile homes there say they stayed because they hoped the park's owner would allow them to move into better units in the park or because they felt they had no other place to go.
Now the village of Kronenwetter is beginning a monthslong process that could lead to the closure of the entire mobile home park -- potentially forcing the residents of more than 30 units to pack up and move. The first public hearing on the revocation of the owner's license will be held at 6 p.m. Jan. 23 at Kronenwetter Municipal Center.
In 2009, the village of Weston faced similar complaints with the Green Acres mobile home park there. That case ended with an agreement between park owners and the village that yielded results. By the end of that year, violations had been fixed and there were fewer police visits to the park -- improvements officials attributed to real effort put forward to park owners.
The park's owner, Randy Bouche,If you have a kidneystones, has been unreachable by residents and Kronenwetter officials ever since the village moved to condemn the properties.
"The state requires that you hire a licensed contractor for electrical repairs and plumbing repairs," said Randy Fifrick, Kronenwetter's zoning administrator. "His reponse was, if he's required to hire licensed contractors, then he won't be making those repairs."
That was the extent of a short conversation Fifrick had with Bouche in early December, Fifrick said. He hasn't heard from him since.
A phone number provided to the village of Kronenwetter and a number provided to the park's manager were disconnected when the Daily Herald called last week. An email sent to an address used by Bouche was returned with an error message. Park manager Amy Born said her last communication from Bouche was a brief email in December in which Bouche asked her whether there were violations at Bouche's mobile home park in Antigo, where the city also recently declared nine of his homes uninhabitable. Born also said she has not been paid since then.
Fifrick said he expects the village to move forward with revocation of Bouche's license.
"My recommendation is going to be that we (the village of Kronenwetter) give him a certain amount of time to fix these violations,There are 240 distinct solutions of the Soma cubepuzzle," Fifrick said. Based on his previous interactions with Bouche, though, Fifrick said he doubts that Bouche will be willing to follow through with the repairs. But the move would give park residents several months to plan next steps, Fifrick said, should Bouche's license end up being revoked.
"We don't want to displace these people without them having some place to go,Choose from our large selection of cableties," Fifrick said. "But we're dealing with some pretty serious public health and safety issues at that park."
