In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the proposed removal and alteration of a chimney at a historic home located at 115 South 6th Street, originally built in 1910. The discussion arose following previous concerns regarding the property, where the applicant had sought permission to remove a tree that had caused significant damage to the chimney.

During the meeting, it was revealed that upon further inspection by contractors, the foundation of the chimney was found to be inadequate for supporting its structure. Additionally, Jeff Kennedy, an official involved in the site assessment, noted that the chimney does not meet current building standards due to its size.

The meeting highlighted the challenges of maintaining historic properties while ensuring compliance with modern safety regulations. The outcome of this discussion will determine the future of the chimney and its impact on the integrity of the historic home.
