Hearing Results on Proposed Demolitions Considered June 9, 2011

OLD BUSINESS DEMOLITION APPLICATIONS

440 Newton Street/923 Nunez Street: DEFERRED 60 days to give the owner time to find a buyer that might restore this corner store building.

2118 St. Ann Street: Proposal to demolish for Carver Theater development. – DEFERRED 30 days at the request of the applicant. HDLC voted that they will NOT defer on this demolition request again.

2126 St. Ann Street: Proposal to demolish Carver Theater development. - DEFERRED 30 days at the request of the applicant. HDLC voted that they will NOT defer on this demolition request again.

2431 St. Ann Street: DENIED. This building is in poor condition, but since it has been sited for blight, the City can move the property to “Sheriff Sale” quickly. If the house were demolished, it would take much longer for a new blighted process to start.

1420 N. Robertson Street: DENIED. The owner has identified a buyer and is no longer interested in demolishing the house. Thanks to all that have helped this owner find a win-win for the owner, the neighborhood and the preservation community.
