Demolition at One Rehoboth Site Extended to June 27
The City of Rehoboth Beach has extended the demolition permit for the One Rehoboth site a second time – now through June 27th. The demolition is of the existing Grotto’s Pizza and Sirocco Motel. This is the second extension – the City of Rehoboth Beach traditionally has a moratorium on this type of activity from May 15 through September 15. The demolition will be permitted weekdays from 8am to 7pm. When demolition began in late April, the structural integrity of the motel was found to be compromised. The developer now plans to utilize a 70-foot high -reach excavator to dismantle the building swiftly.
“The building continues to pose a clear safety concern,” says City Manager Taylour Tedder. “This second extension has been granted so that the developer may remove the dangerous structure safely and as expeditiously as possible.”
