Carmel's Flanders Mansion won't be on November ballot
Carmel decides to consider other options for building

EXCERPT HIGHLIGHTS:
The council, on a 4-1 vote Tuesday, decided against rushing to put a measure on the November ballot to ask voters whether the city should sell the vacant, city-owned mansion in the Mission Trails Nature Preserve.
The action came after a yearlong, unsuccessful effort to lease the 90-year-old Tudor Revival home to a party that would restore it and keep it as a single-family home.
But the council decided it wanted to step back and look at more options rather than selling the home — a prospect that has triggered lawsuits and years of controversy — or leasing it to someone who would do a full-fledged historical restoration.
The council said it wanted to look at three other issues in regard to the Flanders Mansion, which the city bought in 1973.
One would be the possibility of a caretaker-style lease. Another would be to simply hang on to the mansion, do basic maintenance and treat it as another park building, Beach said.
The council also said it wanted to have a
specialist analyze the historical significance of the building. Carmel decides to consider other options for building
