wilcal Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I'm pretty sure that if it is rebuilt that they can keep the building as it sits a foot or two off of the public street, but I'm annoyed by our building setback rules. Navigation is a major thoroughfare and will require a 25' setback if a new structure is built. That is basically the width of the front face of the building right along the parking lot. So what does the city want built here instead? Surface parking? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBTX Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I was under the impression it was purchased by Marquette when they bought the lot that Forth sits on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimum setback requirements are dumb, minimum parking requirements are dumb. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_cuevas713 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 That’s the fastest I’ve ever seen a building get demolished after a fire. There are a few buildings in this city that have been standing for years after the same thing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBTX Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 If I recall, Marquette bought this building when it was building Forth as "Phase II" of that redevelopment. I'm guessing they don't want a smoldering lead ash (the smell is noticeable) pile on their lot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
