T. Jack Walsh As Tom pointed out, several demolitions probably could have been avoided if BOARD of DIIt =RS minimum maintenance standards for the historic district had been put in place years Eric spencer Buchanan ago. Because the city is unable to enforce its housing codes consistently, minimum Susan Gunter maintenance standards appear to be the only vehicle for ensuring that buildings do Sandra Flochstetter not become the victims of "demolition by neglect." Even in the case of a burn -out Felton Lamb such as 1410 Commerce Street, it is easy to imagine that minimum maintenance Robin Loucks standards might have prevented the conditions that ultimately led to the fire. Jim McKenzie Carl Menyhart Wally Nixon Because of their condition, the Quapaw Quarter Association will not object to the Beth Feck-Cooper demolition of the houses in the 1400 block of Commerce, just as we did not object Patsie Rogers last fall to the demolition of the houses in the 1300 block of Rock Street. We do Merie Smith object, however, to the fact that the MacArthur Park Historic District continues to be eroded by demolitions necessitated by absentee owners' lack of maintenance of EXECUITVE DIRECroR structures, and we urge the Historic District Commission to continue working Cheryl Nichols toward the creation of minimum maintenance. standards for the historic district.
