CARNEGIE — Plans to turn the former home of baseball great Honus Wagner into a bed-and-breakfast and museum were rejected by a zoning hearing board amid parking concerns.

Owners of the house several miles outside Pittsburgh had wanted to restore it in time for the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, which will be played July 11 at PNC Park. Now, they say they will auction it in part or whole around the time of the game.

"We're done," said Michael Gissin, of Mount Lebanon, president of Wagner Carnegie Inc., which paid $130,000 for the house in October. "We don't want anything the community doesn't want."

The Carnegie zoning hearing board voted 4-0 on Wednesday against granting a variance that would have allowed the project in a residential area.

The board's main concern was parking. Neighbors said parking is sometimes difficult in the area.

Stanley Klos, a partner in the project, said the group would not appeal the decision.

Wagner moved into the three-story, yellow brick home in 1918, a year after playing his last game for the Pirates.

Klos had spent $15,000 for builders' records for the home at an auction. He had intended to use them to guide restoration.
