During a recent city council meeting, discussions centered on the impending demolition of a property located at 310 South Hamlet Avenue, which is currently under the jurisdiction of the Board of Adjustments (BOA). The council sought clarification on the timeline and process surrounding the demolition, particularly in light of the BOA's upcoming meeting scheduled for early December.
Council members expressed concerns that the property owner may have left the previous meeting with the impression that no action would be taken until the council reconvened. To address this, the council discussed the possibility of requesting the BOA to postpone any demolition until after the council's next meeting in January. This would ensure that all parties involved have the opportunity to present their cases and that due process is followed.
The council emphasized the importance of clear communication and proper notice to all stakeholders regarding the timeline and decisions made by the BOA. It was agreed that the council would reach out to BOA members to facilitate this request for a continuance.
In addition to the property discussion, the meeting also touched on infrastructure updates, including upcoming roadwork on Green and Center Street. City officials indicated that the work would be scheduled during off-peak hours to minimize disruption, with public notices to be issued in advance.
The meeting concluded with a focus on ensuring that all processes are transparent and that community members are kept informed about developments affecting their neighborhoods.
