By Tim SchmidtRecord Managing EditorWright City officials say it’s time to reach some type of resolution with a home damaged by fire in April.Aldermen agreed to give the property owner a 90-day extension, but the city will continue taking steps to have the structure razed.The extension was requested from property owner Steve Hoerr. In a letter to the city, he wrote that the extra time was needed for the insurance company and attorneys to resolve problems.City officials hoped the additional time would allow for an agreement to be reached.“It is an eyesore,” Public Works Director Larry Janish said.Mayor David Heiliger added: “I would stress they got an extension, but let’s get this settled.”Police Chief Matt Eskew commented his officers are conducting extra patrols around the property since items were stolen from the damaged home.“It’s not taking a ton of manpower, but it is something we are paying attention to,” Eskew said. “I have concerns about kids breaking into it and potentially getting hurt.”The 90-day extension was approved by a 4-0 vote at the Dec. 10 board of aldermen meeting.Rezoning approved for portion of church propertyAlso at the Dec. 10 meeting, all four aldermen voted in favor of a rezoning request from First Assembly Church.The property at 632 Westwoods Road will be in the SR-3 (single-family residential) rather than the C-4 (general commercial) district.
