The manager for the funeral home didn't do his homework and had a very weak case. During his presentation, he said that the parking lot that would take the place of the house would accommodate only four cars. That made it obvious to everyone that it would be a waste to tear down the house. Four parking spots is not enough to solve whatever parking problem the funeral home has. He claimed that the building was derelict; but if that was the case (it's not, judging from other people's testimony), it was the funeral home that let it become derelict. If the house isn't needed by the funeral home, they could sell it for over $100,000, which would do a lot for their bottom line. In short, the funeral home needs to show more concern and respect for the history of the town.
