The site was also visited on December 12th by archeologist Stuart Reeve and Land Use Officer Aimee Pardee. Ray reads aloud excerpts from an email from Stuart Reeve, who will later issue and official report. Stuart states that the building in question does not have historical or archeological value, and that it is his professional opinion that there is no basis upon which to institute a 180-day demolition delay. Aimee Pardee adds that during the visit, Stuart inspected the foundation for signs that it was part of the original structure at that site but concluded that what is on the property at this time is contemporary and beyond repair. Anda Cumings motions that the 180 day demolition delay be waived on the basis of this conclusion. Matt Lecher seconds, the motion passes unanimously.
