Motion
On a motion by R. Pelusio, and seconded by A. Daniels, (3-1,; F. Sheets absent) that the
Landmarks Board issue a stay-of-demolition for the building located at 940 North St. for
a period not to exceed 180 days from the day the permit application was accepted by the
city manager in order to explore alternatives to demolishing the building and adopt the
staff memorandum as findings.
W. Jellick explained his dissenting vote by stating that while the building may be eligible
for landmark designation, he did not consider imposition of a stay-of-demolition would
be productive use of time as the applicants have indicated that alternatives have already
been explored and consider demolition to be the only feasible option.
The 180-day stay period will expire on April 28, 2019 if no action is taken prior to that
date.
R. Pelusio and A.Daniels volunteered to be on the subcommittee to work with the
applicant during the stay-of-demolition.
