Culver Town Council Discusses Demolition of City Tavern Building

The Culver Town Council members are continuing discussions about the demolition of the former City Tavern building at 415 Lakeshore Drive.

If the owner of the building does not demolish the building by Feb. 28, the town has authorization to move forward with demolition, as court ordered. 

In case the town needs to perform the action, Town Manager Jonathan Leist he is going to contact firms so the town can move forward with environmental services.  He will obtain information on costs for a phase of the process.  Leist said he also spoke to Building Commissioner Chuck DeWitt to put together demolition specifications for the property. 

The condition of the former City Tavern building at 415 Lakeshore Drive in Culver has been discussed for several years and issues increase as time goes on.  The reason for the environmental services is that there is mold inside the building and last year the neighbors complained of the pungent odor emitting from the rotting structure. 

More information will be presented in March.
