The barn demolition may proceed following the Commission’s unanimous vote, although officials said the property had been mistakenly overlooked under the Demolition Delay Bylaw. No further work was to occur until the Commission reviewed the matter, and a letter was to be sent to the building inspector and homeowners. The Commission noted the barn’s historical significance but was told remaining original materials might be incorporated into the new design.
