Gay property owner Sam Sitzman told the council he plans to rebuild outbuildings destroyed by a recent fire and said neighbors had no objections; the council agreed to approve the plan and will clarify how to present information to Building Inspectors.

Property owner Sam Sitzman told the Gay Town Council on Jan. 12 that several outbuildings on his property had been destroyed by fire and that he wants to rebuild in the same locations once the insurance company finishes its examination. Sitzman said he had spoken with neighbors on both sides, who "indicated a willingness to provide written statements" in support of rebuilding.

Mayor Christopher J. Walker and all council members present indicated they would approve Sitzman’s plan and asked staff to determine how required information should be presented to the town’s Building Inspectors so the project complies with local ordinances. The minutes record the council’s intent to support a rebuild in the original locations, subject to the usual inspection and permitting process.
