RE: Demolition of 8991 West Point Douglas Road
Background
On December 8, 2020 the Economic Development Authority (EDA) approved the purchase of
8991 West Point Douglas Road, located in the Langdon Village area; southeast of Highway 61/10
and Jamaica Avenue. The EDA took possession of the property on January 19, 2021.
Location of 8991 West Point Douglas Road
Since the EDA gained possession of the property staff has been in the process of having all
hazardous materials removed from the property. An environmental consultant was brought to the
property to the test the walls, flooring, and paint for lead and asbestos materials. The
environmental consultant determined that there was asbestos in the bottom layer of kitchen
flooring and on top of the furnace. The asbestos was removed, and no lead paint was found. In
addition, other materials considered hazardous were also removed since they cannot be placed
in the landfill. The electric and natural gas services were also terminated during this time.
The home can now be used for Public Safety training before being demolished and the site
retained by the EDA for future development opportunities. The Police will conduct training inside

the home and once Police training is complete, Fire will conduct a controlled burn of the house
for their training. All hazardous materials needed to be removed from the structure before Public
Safety training because of the potential harm the materials could have on individuals training and
the hazardous materials items cannot be place in the landfill.
Discussion
The property will allow for great training opportunities for Public Safety, and they are currently
developing a plan for training. Once the schedule is finalized a date will be identified for the
controlled burn of the house. It is expected to take place by early Summer. After the controlled
burn of the house, there will be materials left such as the exterior basement walls, burnt housing
materials, and the well and septic. The materials from the house as well as the closure of the well
and septic will need to be appropriately removed per State and Washington County (County)
guidelines. The EDA has applied for a grant from the County for the sealing of the well and in the
process of obtaining quotes for the well sealing, while awaiting a grant agreement from
Washington County. The grant agreement with the County will need to be executed before work
can begin on sealing the well.
Quotes were obtained from three contractors for the removal of the basement walls, driveway,
burnt housing materials, and closure of the septic system The quotes also include back filling the
basement space and restoration of the disturbed area with 4-inches of topsoil and seed. A
contingency was added to the quotes in case the timeframe between the completion of Public
Safety training and when a contractor can begin work on the site. The contingency would be for
work such as temporary fencing materials to be placed around the burn site until contractors can
begin removal work. This would prevent the general public accessing the site and potentially
getting injured.
