Presentations from the Floor: Mrs. Goldsmith, Elena Road, brought to Council's attention the recent des- truction of a local historical site and the shock with which the Historical Society had learned of this unauthorized action. Council discussion followed on the background of this site, an order of the Town in 1967 to destroy the barn, failure to obtain a demolition permit from the Town for this activity and proposed development for the subject property. Mrs. Meyerott, Historian, referenced ordinance #213 as providing for Town enforcement of all historical landmarks. Mrs. Stutz, Elena Road, advised that the demolition work had begun on the previous Friday and that the City Manager was immediately notified. Mrs. Gottlieb, Summerhill, said that, to her recollection, the tract map files for this area showed "not a building site" at the barn/silo location. -2-
