Koertje asked what is the timeline for demolishing the house. Frank said the stay is prohibiting them from demolishing the house. Koertje said if there was any way to move this structure he would be willing to remove the stay. Watson stated zoning rules and regulations prohibit this structure from adequately being moved to another part of this property. La Grave offered to advertise this house to see if anyone would be interested in taking this structure. Frank stated he is not willing to delay their plans past August. Watson asked if Frank would be willing to put this structure on Craig’s List. La Grave suggested an ad in the Daily Camera. Stewart reminded the HPC this was just a discussion item and if there was going to be a decision made he would need to recuse himself from voting, due to previous involvement.
