In a recent meeting of the Historic Landmark Commission, community members expressed their support for a proposed single-family home development at a site previously occupied by a dilapidated hangar. One resident voiced relief over the shift from an earlier plan for apartments, citing concerns about the hangar's unsafe condition and the debris it generated. The resident welcomed the new development, emphasizing the need for improvement in the area.

Commissioners discussed the demolition request for the hangar, noting that while it is over 50 years old, it lacks historical significance. They described the site as unsafe, with significant trash and structural issues, making it unsuitable for habitation. The current owners, who recently purchased the property, confirmed their intention to demolish two of the three structures on-site, retaining a small building in good condition.

The commission unanimously approved the demolition request, with the condition that any heritage trees on the property be preserved according to city regulations. This decision marks a step towards revitalizing the area and addressing safety concerns raised by local residents.

Additionally, the commission reviewed another demolition request for a structure at 510 Live Oak Street, owned by Restructures Inc. The property, which is not located in a historic district but is over 50 years old, is also set for demolition, reflecting ongoing efforts to manage and improve local real estate conditions.
