Salt Lake Tribune
The Salt Lake City Council carved out a section of the Yalecrest area from the Historic Designation process on Tuesday nights meeting, see map. They also unanimously voted to restrict demolition of any home built after 1942 without the Historic Landmark Commission approval, even though the neighborhood is not designated as Historic yet, this is a temporary restriction that will expire September 10th of this year. The Council plans on new having demolition rules in place by then. The final vote on the Historic District will be January 15, 2011.
According to the Salt Lake Tribune “The neighborhoods still wrestling with preservation, from Harvard-Yale, Gilmer Park, Douglas Park, Normandie Heights and elsewhere, now have until Jan. 15 to petition the landmarks commission for some kind of protection - either as a conservation district or historic district”.
