Bluffton council intends to demolish a structure at 145 W. Riley St. after passing the first of three readings to that effect on Monday.
The resolution deems the structure to be insecure, unsafe and structurally defective.
According to Stephen Chamberlain, village solicitor, “The owner has had multiple opportunities to cooperate with the village and has not done so.”
He explained that the council intends to have three readings of the resolution. Demolition of the structure could take place as soon as 30 days following the third reading.
Late evening road will is scheduled for specific areas on State Route 103 and Main Street on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to the village.
Beginning at 10 p.m.,Tuesday, July 11, and recurring on Wednesday, July 12, Premier Patching will perform necessary road maintenance along State Route 103, North Main and South Main streets.
The work consists of crack sealing needed areas. The work is scheduled to extend through the night and be completed before 6 a.m. with traffic being maintained throughout this project.

This year 215 bicycle riders accepted the invite to the third annual Ride to Remember bike ride in Bluffton. Of those, 29 hard-core riders took the 112-mile Gran Fondo.
The ride supports the Bluffton Lions Foundation bike and pedestrian pathway project, which, when completed, will encircle the entire village of Bluffton.
Although it sounds like a very long way off, it is possible that in 2022 two separate projects from the current State Route 103 corridor study could get underway.
Choice One Engineering hosted the second public meeting on July 6 of its corridor study. The entire project is still in the early planning stages.
The study was funded by $50,000 from Allen County Regional Planning and $15,420 from the Village of Bluffton.
The study considered points on State Route 103 from the Norfolk Southern Railroad to Pocono Drive on the east side of the interstate.
