Commission asks code enforcement about long-running demolition at Germantown and Ellis
Summary
A commissioner asked code enforcement about a property at Germantown and Ellis that has been under demolition for about a year; staff said the owner found termite infestation, plans to clear the site when weather allows and intends to rebuild but must confirm setbacks with staff.
During the closing portion of the Planning Commission meeting in February 2026, a commissioner asked code enforcement about a house at the corner of Germantown and Ellis that "they're tearing down for a year now."
An unidentified staff member said the owner had attempted a remodel two to three months earlier, discovered a termite infestation while removing siding, and planned to clear the site when weather permitted and to rebuild. The staff member advised coordinating the building setbacks with another staff member named Sam.
The exchange was informational; no formal enforcement action, timeline for demolition completion or permit details were recorded in the meeting transcript.
