Langley’s public hearing over a land swap with the owners of the Dog House Tavern included no public comment and ended with a soft tap of Mayor Fred McCarthy’s gavel Monday.

Having extended the public hearing over the city offering about 700 square feet of public property, in exchange for an amount to be determined, from its original Nov. 17 date to Dec. 1, the city waited for further input. On Monday, none was given — save from Councilwoman Robin Black who said she heard from several people who offered “very, very positive feedback” regarding the offer.

The Dog House owners were not present at the December hearing, though one discussed their plans at the November hearing.

McCarthy said owners Charlie and Janice Kleiner had contacted appraisers to evaluate the property on First Street and Anthes Avenue, which is the next step in the process toward the reopening of the iconic building’s tavern with a restaurant, residential space and event rental room.
