OGDEN — It's all about that wood. It's supposed to be fire-retardant treated, but it's not. That's why construction remains at a standstill on historic 25th Street in downtown Ogden, ever since last March.
The developer, Summa Terra Ventures says it planned with the contractor to put in the required fire-retardant-treated wood, but somewhere down the line, the contractor switched that out. The initial plan was denied by city inspectors. It now has another plan under review that the city says it's working hard to expedite.
Subsequently, and without the knowledge or consent of Summa Terra ventures, the property's ownership, and Ogden City, makers line unilaterally made the decision to substitute fire-treated lumber, as originally prescribed in the contract, the approved building plans, and the prevailing national building code, with untreated lumber.
