Architects tapped to tweak design

HARVARD -- The proposed Town Hall renovation project that for a time seemed at risk of withering on the vine has been reinvigorated, even reinvented, with a downsized wish list and a recent mandate set by the selectmen to move forward based on the current design but with an "acceptable" price tag. That is, about $2.4 million, which is the balance left from the $3.9 million Town Meeting appropriated for the job in 2012.
From their ongoing discussions, the selectmen's vision now is a back-to- basics version of the existing design townspeople have come to know over the last couple years but leaving out some of the pricier components. For example, the addition and HVAC system will remain in place, with repairs. And instead of gutting the interior of the 19th-century building to create an entirely new look, the new floor plan will be functional but less ambitious, moving all offices downstairs and leaving the second floor pretty much as is, gracious front staircase and all, adding a lift for access.
Selectmen as THBC
Selectmen assumed the mantle of de facto building committee in November, 2013 after voters resoundingly rejected a bid to up the original bankroll by another $1 million to cover a sudden, unexpected spike in the construction cost estimate.
Acting under new marching orders, selectmen discussed next steps with a jeweler's eye to cost control.
With summarized outcomes from those forums in hand, the selectmen discussed the matter again at their Jan. 7 meeting. All things considered, they agreed it was time to talk to the architects - LLB, of Rhode Island - about a design fix.
Citing the contract, Chairman Marie Sobalvarro suggested at the time that there might be no additional cost to taper the design to fit the budget, but even if the architects charged an added fee, money in the schematic design budget should cover it, she said.

Town Hall project to move ahead
Brookfield, WI (Sports Network) - Former president and fellow of the American Society of Golf Course Architects, Larry Packard, has died.
Packard, who was also known as the "Father of the modern ASGCA", was 101 years old.
He started his career as a golf course architect in the 1940s with Robert Bruce Harris, who was one of the founders of the ASGCA, before starting his own firm in 1954.
Packard was president of the ASGCA from 1970-71 and was one of the first architects to address environmental concerns for golf courses, advocating the use of effluent for course irrigation.
"Larry Packard was a pioneer in the game of golf," ASGCA president Rick Robbins said. "Those who influenced his work date back to the 1800s, and the courses Larry designed still stand today and will for decades. Those who play the game will be positively impacted by Larry Packard for generations to come."
Packard had worked on more than 600 golf courses in North America, including Innisbrook Golf and Country Club in Palm Harbor, Fla., Turnberry Country Club in Crystal Lake, Ill., Lake Barrington Shores in Barrington, Ill. and Countryside Country Club in Clearwater, Fla.
He also designed and renovated golf courses in Egypt, Guatemala, South Korea and Venezuela.
St. Johns city council has approved in principle the expansion of downtowns Scotia Centre. Earlier this month, council gave the go-head for East Port Properties to add a three-storey building to the 235 Water St. property.
The extension will be constructed on the podium deck, or open space, that faces Water Street, said Coun. Tom Hann at city councils Jan. 6 meeting. The development will consist of three storeys, and will create over 2,600 square metres of floor area, which includes Class A office space and retail space at the street level.
The amount of open space left after the construction will remain open to the public, said Hann. The plan is to revitalize the podium space at the rear of the building facing Harbour Drive, what is known as Ayers Lane. Its also proposed for redevelopment.
Under downtown parking guidelines, the development would require 36 parking spaces to be created, but the developer is considering payment in lieu, said Hann.
The proposal was in front of the citys standing committee on planning and development in December, which recommended approval, attaching the conditions that the developer submit landscape design and art work for the remaining podium space, discuss parking options, and that council schedule a public meeting on the application.
Mayor Dennis OKeefe said more parking spaces are being created downtown, but the city is also starting to see more applications from developers who plan payments in lieu of parking spaces in their proposals.
Weve got to have a serious look at that before we end up defeating what weve created, lets put it that way, he said.
Hann noted that the city hasnt actually accepted any proposals with payments in lieu yet, but there are three or four on the books.
Staff is always looking at it from the point of, what can we do as an alternative to payment in lieu? he said. Can we find parking elsewhere? Can we find parking in some of the new parking garages? Can they find parking in Atlantic Place and so on? Staff is always aware of the situation of trying not to erode any advancement that weve done in terms of identifying parking spaces in the downtown.
Council voted to accept the planning and development committee reports recommendations.
Ashburn-based Meladon Development Group submitted a rezoning application for its Cascades Overlook development on Jan. 8.
Their proposal is to change the land, which was formerly the Faith Bible Church campus, into a development with 253 multi-family dwelling units, 135,000 square feet of retail space, 8,000 square feet of office space and a minimum of 8,600 feet for civic use in Sterling.
New zoning would change the land from single-family residential and planned-development office park to planned-development town center.
The Board of Supervisors will decide whether or not to approve the request in February.
Don Wooden, the president of Meladon Group, understands that the process won't be easy, and that there are opponents to the development, but he believes he has made a strong case to make the new zoning possible. Wooden hopes that a promise to build 100 percent of the commercial space before they begin residential construction will put approval of the development over the edge.
Apartments within the complex are currently slated to be named Eagles Crest; the Meladon Group's Cascades Overlook is not related to the apartment complex of the same name already in Sterling.
"We have two key components," said Wooden.
"One: we have a signed lease with Harris Teeter. And then we have a restaurant destination where we intend to bring in five restaurants called the crescent area.
It will encompass a very lively public space. The neatest part of that space is we are having a Loudoun County wine tasting area."
Wooden said one of the restaurants that would occupy the space has already signed an agreement with Chuy's Mexican Cantina, a Texas-based company, which will take 7,000 square feet of space.

New development seeks Board approval in February
RICHFIELD - Young women and little girls are being sold for the purpose of sex in countries around the world - including the United States.
A Snyder County woman is ministering to those forced into sex trafficking both abroad and at home.
Kristen Kreider of Middleburg is a missionary with Compassion First in Indonesia and will be a house mother/mentor for a new restoration home for sex trafficking victims here in the United States. The new home will be located at an undisclosed location in Juniata County.

A meeting about the restoration home possibilities will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday in the fellowship hall of Richfield Mennonite Church. The meeting will feature Jeanne Allert, founder and executive director of Samaritan Women, which is the group leading the ministry of the home.
Kreider first became involved with the mission while staying in Indonesia in 2013. The 2011 Midd-West High School graduate said she felt "called by God" to serve in some capacity in Indonesia. In January of last year she made her way to the country and admittedly "wandered around blindly" for the first couple of months. Kreider had been to the country in 2010 to meet a child she had sponsored with Compassion International. She had kept contact with some of the translators from that trip, and one of them hosted Kreider at her home when she returned in 2013.
One Sunday last March Kreider said she was in church in Indonesia and was introduced to two Americans who were with a group known as Compassion First. The group's goal is "providing long-term, hope-filled solutions for victims of sex trafficking," according to its website. The couple asked Kreider what skills she had. Kreider noted she was a cosmetologist who had attended McCann School of Business and Technology in Sunbury.
It turned out the organization needed someone to train young women in that field for the sake of finding employment for them.
Kreider then began working with the young women - all under the age of 18 - who had been victimized by the sex trafficking industry.
The website humantrafficking.org explains that most girls sold into the industry are between the ages of 10 and 17. The number one cause of this forced labor is the lack of employment opportunities and poverty in Indonesia. Compassion First "seeks to always employ long-term strategies while engaging in transitional care for these victims," its website indicates.

Russia ramped up pressure on Ukraine with a threat of withholding aid until the country forms a new government after the cabinet loyal to President Viktor Yanukovych bowed to nationwide protests and quit.
Premier Mykola Azarov, 66, resigned yesterday, as Yanukovych tried to ease a political crisis. It was not enough for protesters, who vowed to hold their positions at the site of deadly clashes with police last week in the capital Kiev. Opposition leaders maintained a demand for a snap presidential election and wrangled with government lawmakers on further concessions including an amnesty for protesters and constitutional changes.
Yanukovych, 63, is struggling to contain unrest thats spread from the capital to other cities since his rejection of a European association pact triggered anti-government protests in November. The demonstrations turned deadly last week and the turmoil has led to a tug-of-war between Russia and Europe for influence in the nation of 45 million people.
Elections are the best method for the people to decide, Elmar Brok, chairman of the European Parliaments foreign affairs committee and head of delegation to Ukraine, told reporters in Kiev. The people have lost the belief they can trust what the government says.

Russia agreed to lend Ukraine $15 billion and give its western neighbor a one-third discount on natural gas supplies to Ukraine after Yanukovych pulled out of the EU agreement, which Russian President Vladimir Putin has said could damage Russias economy.
