Request for oral hearing in case is denied
A Portage County judge has ruled that the court case over the relocation of a historic Kent house should not be reopened for further oral arguments. Portage County Common Pleas Judge John Enlow issued a ruling in the ongoing court case between two groups, the Kent Wells Sherman House, Inc., and Save the Standing Rock Garden, over the relocation of the Kent Wells Sherman House to the lot at 247 N. Water St. Enlow's ruling was issued in response to an objection to an earlier ruling in the case by Portage County Magistrate Kent Graham.

Group files objection to magistrate's ruling
The struggle persists over the relocation of a historic Kent house to a cherished piece of greenspace. Kent attorney John Plough, representing members of the group Save the Standing Rock Garden, who oppose the relocation of the Kent Wells Sherman House to 247 N. Water St., has filed an objection to a magistrate's decision in the court case about the issue. In December Portage County Magistrate Kent Graham denied three injunction requests made by Save the Standing Rock Garden in an effort to stop the relocation of the house to the lot, which has been used — but not owned — for decades by members of neighboring Kent arts group Standing Rock Cultural Arts.

A Portage County magistrate has ruled that several requests for an injunction to stop the relocation of the Kent Wells Sherman House to 247 N. Water St. have all been denied by the court.

Magistrate issued order this week in case
A Portage County magistrate has issued an order denying a request from a group of Kent residents to stop the relocation of the historic Kent Wells Sherman House to a vacant lot at 247 N. Water St. Portage magistrate Kent Graham issued the ruling this week, which denies the request of members of the group Save the Standing Rock Garden for a preliminary injunction to stop placement of the house on the lot. "The motion for a preliminary injunction ... prohibiting (Kent) Wells Sherman House, Inc., from disturbing or removing trees, plants, and soils, making any excavation, and placing structures or equipment on its property located at 247 N. Water St. ... is denied," the magistrate's ruling reads in part. Check back with Kent Patch for updates…
