PALM COAST The site plan is finished and the building permit is inching closer to approval for the first Chick-fil-A restaurant in Flagler County, a city official has announced.

Ray Tyner, planning manager for Palm Coast, said the full approvals of the main building permit will take place very shortly for the restaurant, which is expected to be 4,390 square feet and will be built at 1000 Palm Coast Parkway NW.

Construction will begin following the demolition of the old structure that occupies the lot, which once housed a Perkins Restaurant. That Perkins location was closed in the spring of 2013.

Everything at the location will be redone, said Tyner, including the parking lot.

The new restaurant will be in proximity to various other dining chains near the Boulder Rock Drive intersection, including Outback Steakhouse, Houligans, Ruby Tuesday and Bob Evans.

Mark Baldwin, a Chick-fil-A spokesman, said the upcoming restaurant will feature a standard design with a dining room, playground and drive-thru service.

Baldwin said the company is in the extremely early stages for the new restaurant, but the plan is to open the location in the spring of 2015.

On average, a restaurant of that size employs between 60 to 80 people, said Baldwin.

Until the new restaurant opens, the closest Chick-fil-A locations for Flagler residents are scattered in various places across St. Augustine, Daytona Beach and Jacksonville. There are also locations in Ormond Beach, Port Orange, Orange City and Edgewater.

Lido plan for King's Meadow baths offers heated pool, spa, restaurant and bar

The team behind the Grade II-listed Bristol Lido were selected as preferred bidders to take over the dilapidated building in September 2013 and they set up a new company called Thames Lido Ltd for the project.

Listed Building Consent has been granted for repairs to the run down Grade II-listed baths which will be carried out before major construction works are carried out.

The application is for the full length of the north side of the pool, facing the River Thames, to be enclosed to form a single-storey restaurant.

Full height glazing will run around the pool with a steam room, sauna and lounge on the eastern side.

The west side will connect with the entrance and reception, through the bar and into the restaurant.

Highlights

Kelly Hess and her husband, David, spent $8,000 in April remodeling the outside of their Dallas house, and they paid for it without a home equity loan.

They tapped their "house savings account'' to replace the roof and install an 8-foot-high wooden fence in the backyard of the four-bedroom brick ranch housethey bought in 2006.

The Hesses prove there are other ways to pay for home improvements besides borrowing against the equity in your property. Home equity loans and lines of credit have provided homeowners with a reliable, usually tax deductible, cash stream for many years. However, home equity has dried up during the nation's four-year housing slump.

Many people don't have the necessary equity in their properties to qualify for a home equity loan. In fact, almost one-third of the country's homeowners holding mortgages at the end of the third quarter have negative equity or near negative equity in their homes, according to a recent report from First American CoreLogic, a California company that tracks real estate data. In other words, these people owe more on the mortgage than their house or condominium is worth.

"Negative equity continues to be pervasive and to impact almost every segment of the housing market,'' says Mark Fleming, chief economist with First American CoreLogic.

While home values have tumbled nationwide, banks and other lenders have tightened the rules for borrowers to qualify to leverage their home equity. This means people should be thinking about alternative financing for home upgrades.

Paying cash is always the best option, financial experts say. However, they acknowledge that's understandably difficult for many who depleted their savings during the recession.

"My husband and I are both very much on the same page when it comes to money,'' says Kelly Hess, a legal secretary. "We don't like to use credit except for buying a car or a house.''

Marcellus remodeling business receives national recognition

By Jason Gabak

When Scott began McClurg Remodeling and Construction Services in 1978, he was also serving as a member of the Syracuse Fire Department.

Scott was a firefighter, Brian Ciota, vice president and co-owner of the company, said. He started it as a small business but it quickly became more of a full time business.

By 1984 the business became incorporated and Jerry Pitt joined the company becoming vice president.

The business continued to grow over the years.

Ciota said in the mid 1980s the business relocated its headquarters to its present location on East Main Street in Marcellus.

At first it was just two small offices, Ciota said. Now we use 7,500 square feet. We have our warehouse on Lee Mulroy Road and we employ 34 full time employees.

But through all this growth, McClurg as a business has not lost sight of what has helped it to grow and be successful all these years.

Ciota said McClurg takes on a bit of everything.
