Demolition agenda tightens on two city properties
At city hall Tuesday 6:35 p.m. a pair of demolition cases will face commission review. Valentin Romero seeks a federal CDBG grant to raze his 909 Pa property, with estimated costs at 3000 to 4000 dollars, while Darrell A McManness Leland D McManness and Michael C McManiness seek to raze 740 R.J within a historic district. The McMannesses urge a demolition permit despite hearing calls to preserve. The Romero home, built before 1873, may date earlier per local history, and its fate has drawn preservationist opposition. Lynn Goodell supports the CDBG grant as an eligible activity. The 30-day waiting period has passed. the home is not listed in the environs of a historic property.
