[MassHistPres] definition of structure

[Tucker, Jonathan]

Amherst no longer has any surviving diner cars, unfortunately.

 

Maybe if they were rusted in place, the wheels would no longer count.

In Worcester there are four diners listed on the National Register.  Some probably still have their original wheels.  There are many more National Register listed diners across the state in the same condition.  They might all be in limbo as far as this definition of structure goes!

	"Structure" - Any edifice, object or building of any kind that is constructed or erected and requires more or less permanent

	location on the ground or attachment to an object with permanent location on the ground, not including wheels.

	Do any communities out there have a definition of ‘structure’ in a demo delay or other bylaw, of which you are particularly fond, and seems to work well?

	 

	Thanks very much-
