Attorney for property owner asks zoning board for 60-day recess
After nearly two hours, the Kent Board of Zoning Appeals appeared no closer Monday to deciding the fate of a house set for demolition on Franklin Avenue. The zoning board reconvened its April 15 meeting, which itself lasted several hours, Monday night to continue hearing the appeal of a demolition order for the house at 509 Franklin Ave. Ravenna attorney Diana Prehn argued on behalf of the property owner, Caven McLoughlin, for the city to hold off on its plans to pursue demolition of the house so he could make repairs. City building officials condemned the house in 2009 due in large part to damage caused by a fire at the property next door in 2007. Click here for more information about why the house is on track for demolition. "We are just…

What's the most memorable structure you think Kent has lost recently?
In the past four years structures across Kent's landscape have quickly been disappearing. And 2012 was no exception. The city issued demolition permits for 24 structures in 2012. That's the most in one year since 2009, when Kent started to see a sudden rush of construction work largely in preparation for the more than $100 million redevelopment of downtown under way now. Here's how the number of razed structures spread out over the past four years: That's 77 total buildings that were erased from the landscape permanently. To be fair, that number includes some less than memorable buildings ranging from detached garages to condemned houses and even a vacant old motel. But included in that massive pile of bricks was the old C.L. Gougler …

Couldn't they have done something else with the train for the mill? Especially now that Ametek has moved out of it's building by the tracks. Maybe the Gougler building could have been used for that as well. I can't think that any of those truckers enjoy the traffic trying to get into that place! more ›
Porthouse mansion in Sugar Bush Knolls sold for $300,000
A foreclosed mansion with deep Kent roots sold at a bargain recently at sheriff's auction. PNC Bank was the successful bidder at the foreclosure auction for the former Porthouse estate in Sugar Bush Knolls just north of the Kent city limits. The mansion and grounds, which sold for $1.2 million in 1995, were bought by PNC Bank as part of a foreclosure sale for $311,100, according to the Portage County Clerk of Courts online records. The property had been appraised at $425,000 for auction. A Portage County judge signed off on the sale late last month. PNC Bank is the same mortgage lender that filed coreclosure proceedings on the property in August 2012 against former owner Daryl J. Yane. The house had been built in the early 1960s by Cyril …

University agrees to lease house in River Bend neighborhood for $56,000 annually
Kent State University has another element that may help in the search for the 12th president of Ohio's second largest university. The university's board of trustees formally established a presidential residence Tuesday at 1501 Elizabeth Court in Kent's River Bend neighborhood — a house formerly owned by Kent State President Lester Lefton and his wife, Linda. The formal vote to establish the residence follows action last month by the university to enter into a lease agreement with Shaker Heights, OH, attorney Edward Cochran, who bought the house from the Leftons in April for $700,000. The lease agreement stipulates the university will lease the house as the official presidential residence for a period of 20 years, until 2033, from Cochran …
