Demolition of ‘hazardous’ home on First Avenue begins at owners expense

After years of back and forth over the property at the end of First Avenue, demolition on the “hazardous” home began Thursday afternoon. The next of kin of the property owners will be billed for the $44,000 demolition, Faribault Fire Chief Dusty Dienst said. “This one is years in the making. Years and years of neglect. A lack of maintenance over time catches up with any building, and that’s the case here,” Dienst said. “This one was abandoned at least so it wasn’t as touchy as ones where there’s people still living in them.” Dienst said the owners of 1422 First Ave. died years ago, but no paperwork was ever signed to pass the home down to the owner’s family. The fire chief said the city was working with the owner’s next of kin, who were OK with the city’s demolition. “I don’t want to say they’re okay with it because you it’s their home they grew up in, but the reality of it is nobody has the resources to do what the building needs. There’s a reason it’s in the condition it’s in,” he said. “They were on board with the process we’re going through, which is not normal.

Aderman Hall pool currently needs $475,000 in repairs

The 112-year-old Aderman Hall pool at West Hills is in need of some updating. About 5,500 or more people use the West Hills pool annually for swimming lessons, water aerobics, family open swim and rentals, along with trainings for lifeguards and water safety instructors. “There’s really no practical indoor replacement in Owatonna for a pool,” Facilities and Fleet Director Patrick McDermott told the city council during its Wednesday study session. “The only other option — especially in the wintertime — would be the Owatonna Middle School, and that really does not have good access.” When the West Hills pool had to close in the spring for repairs, the local hotels with pools were contacted about availability for swimming lessons. “We got three responses with limited or no availability, and the remaining six did not respond,” McDermott said. “I think they just didn’t want the liability of making that a public pool within a hotel would be our assumption on that.” Large pool repairs history After its construction in 1914, the West Hills pool went about 84 years without record of major repairs. In 1998, a fiberglass pool liner was installed. In 2003, and ADA-compliant restroom and lift were installed thanks
