Building permit delay tied to alley costs for Coca Cola warehouse
City officials said a Coca Cola warehouse permit on East Seventh Street will be delayed until the company agrees to cover costs for opening an east west alley from New York Street to the north end of the existing north south alley. Building inspector Willard R. Larkin noted the project conflicts with a recent city ordinance vacating part of the site and stressed the need for residents to access garages. Testerman said Coca Cola had a contract but was unclear about the alley action and loan implications, with alternate alley costs estimated at 200 to 500 dollars.
