<div>Hi everyone,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The house apparently caught fire in the wee hours of this morning, and the fire was not completely out until mid day. There were no injuries. I expect it will be declared structurally unfit within a day or two and hopefully the investigation will be completed by the end of the week--I can't comment further. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Town staff is working aggressively in coordination with county officials to make sure this place will be torn down and the lot cleared absolutely as soon as possible. The Charles and Vivian Shi own the property and have made plane on numerous occasions that they plan on removing the structure and want to redevelop the site in tandem with the Alamo Plaza. Therefore I cannot conceive of any justification for not quickly removing the burnout. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best wishes,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Vern <br><br></div>
