City of Erie Building Code Board of Appeals refused to grant variance that would have eliminated shelter requirement; Prep-Villa takes case to court
The multimillion-dollar expansion of the campus of Cathedral Preparatory School has landed in court in a fight over tornadoes and the risk of them touching down in the city of Erie.
Erie Catholic Preparatory School, the entity that makes up the all-boys Prep and the all-girls Villa Maria Academy, is suing in Erie County Court to get an exception to a building code requirement. It mandates that Prep-Villa include a tornado shelter as part of the three-story addition to Prep s main building as it faces West 10th Street in downtown Erie.
