Demolition Parts Welcomes Dimos Ganiatsas To The International Team - Video

The Town Council granted an appeal Wednesday from David Frisbie, who objected to the Architectural Commissions decision last month to defer a demolition request for his property at 225 Indian Road.

I think ARCOM is stepping out of line, Council President Robert Wildrick said. They dont have that right. They need to follow the law.

The commission deferred demolition of the existing two-story house Jan. 22, noting its beauty and how it fit into the neighborhood. Members also were concerned about the status of a property line alteration between the house at 225 and the familys adjacent parcel 219 Indian Road, and the anticipated large size of the new home, which has not been decided.

Frisbies attorney Maura Ziska said the house is not landmarked and the commission had no legal ground for deferring the demolition. Denying the demolition has put her client behind schedule, she said.

Town attorney John Randolph said Ziska is right. The ARCOM code is very specific that demolition shall be granted unless the house is designated a landmark or on a list for possible landmarking, he said.

Im in agreement that ARCOM does not have the ability to deny a request for demolition in this particular case.

Planning, Zoning & Building Director John Page noted demolition requests were an issue at the December and January meetings.

In each instance, there was reluctance to approve destruction of homes that individual members believe fit nicely into the collective culture of Palm Beach, Page wrote in a memo to the council.

Wildrick does not agree with the commissions logic.

Theres a political feeling on ARCOM that they want to have total control of demolition and dont want to do it from an administrative standpoint, he said. I dont think its fair to have a landowner go to more expense, spend more time because of some intramural problems on ARCOM. Its not being properly handled.

Council overrules ARCOM, grants demolition request

It's a milestone week in the demolition of the Metrodome.

You can now see through some of the exterior walls. Crews have knocked out parts of the upper deck on the northeast side.

It's a meticulous process, bringing down a stadium that used to have the nickname ThunderDome. Now, all the decibels are coming from heavy machinery, smashing steel and concrete.. section by section.

Allen Troshinsky, Director of Operations Mortenson Construction's Sports Group says, "So as the weeks progress, you'll see coming out of that northeast corner, the hole in the building opening up and working its way in two directions both clockwise and counter-clockwise."

It would've caused too much dust and vibration to the rest of downtown, to blow it up with explosives. So crews are using a wrecking ball and an extended tool called a "muncher" to take it apart.

Crews are on schedule, despite the cold. But they're hoping for an extended warmup. At the same time the Dome comes down, construction on the new stadium is well underway.

Metrodome Demolition Begins

Since 2003, the First Southern Baptist Church on the southeast corner of 58th and Myrtle has remained vacant, and its condition has deteriorated. Surrounding property has not been developed as originally planned, and is now overgrown with weeds.

Monday morning, workers began the task of tearing down the historical building. It has been planned for almost a year. Public meetings were held last year by Glendale Historic Preservation Commission to get input from citizens about what they would like to see happen with the building.

Glendale Planning Director and Historic Preservation Director Jon Froke gave a look back at what has occurred since 2005.

In 2005, Glendale entered into a development agreement with Vanguard CityHome to build condominiums. The site began development pre-recession, and then, unfortunately, the condo project became a casualty of the recession, Froke said. The property went back to a lender, the half-block, the alley to 58th, and so the condo development does not look like it will get completed.

The property is now owned by Rialto Partners, which has owned it several years, Froke said, but he added the company is not really a development company. The actual request for the demolition came from one of the Vanguard partners, Mike Trailor.

Froke reviewed it and took it to the historical preservation commission in December, requesting permission for demolition.

Last summer, Froke said, the citys building safety department responded to some complaints about the site. They found the building to be uninhabitable, and posted it as such.

Froke said in the building were feral cats, feces, bedding in the basement, human waste, animal waste, and bees. So, it became a bit of a community eyesore.

So, we were having a hard time keeping the property secure, Froke said.

There was an opening on the north end of the building, and it was becoming a nuisance. So, the historical preservation commission agreed with Frokes assessment and determined the building should be razed.
