Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Weve had several inquiries lately about whats going with the fencing and teardowns at Delanson Circle off of Linden Street across from the now mostly empty Wellesley Square commuter rail lot. Its not surprising that the proposed condo project for that property might have faded from much of the communitys memory given that its been in the works for so long and lately out of the spotlight.

Thats the future site of Wellesley Crossing, a condo development that has been slogging through the towns approval process since 2017, originally as a 40B proposal that would have given the developer a break on zoning rules in exchange for including a certain percentage of affordable units. It was among a spate of 40B proposals that developers a few years back foisted upon the town, which has since scrambled to address its lack of affordable housing stock per state standards, in part by developing a housing production plan and in part by making progress on a 40R project at Wellesley Office Park. Theres a movement in town now to be more proactive about making housing in Wellesley more affordable and diverse, such as through the Building a Better Wellesley initiative.

We realized this week that we hadnt written much since mid-2019 about the Delanson project, or another one dubbed Wellesley Park from the same developer at 148 Weston Road and two adjacent properties. At that time we reported on the projects being scaled way down following meetings between the developer, neighbors, and town officials, and Town Meeting blessed the change in May of that year. Per usual, the developer rode into town aiming high95 units on Delansonand settling for less (35), and 55 units across five stories on Weston Road, and settling for 28 units across three stories and a separate 2-family building with affordable units.

In our defense, its been tough to keep track of these projects. Not that those developing the projects havent been visibletheyve subjected themselves to a seemingly endless gauntlet of meetings with the Planning Board, Design Review Board, Board of Selectmen, Zoning Board of Appeals, and we must be missing others, over the past few years. Its not uncommon to see the development team, at the end of the longer stages, jokingly bid a well miss seeing you on Zoom farewell to board members (as seen just before the 1-hour 30-minute mark of this Nov. 2 Planning Board meeting recorded by Wellesley Media).

But were not gluttons for the punishment of sitting through many of those often hours-long affairs. Theres no big payday coming for us at the end of this process as there presumably must still be for the condo project teams.

Developer Victor Sheen and team grinded out a 2-hour meeting with the Zoning Board of Appeals on the Weston Road project on Dec. 8 fresh off a stint at the Design Review Board on Dec. 2. Sheen (who we did reach out to by email for an update) sounded a bit worn out, no doubt from repeating his project development narrative for the umpteenth time.

But the developer still was making fresh appeals for assorted relief, this time related to building height (three stories above a garage) and a retaining wall. Sheen mentioned numerous times how much their plans had already been reviewed by others in town, and how what they are asking for is a matter of fitting in with the topography of the location, which is sandwiched between often busy Weston Road and quieter open space used for trails and gardens.

Not surprisingly, the hearing is being continued into early January for more action-packed discussion, with plans to focus on the construction management plan.

Both projects have passed through two major stages with the town. These are the residential incentive overlay (RIO) and project of significant impact (PSI) approval processes, the latter of which entails everything from town infrastructure to traffic concerns, according to Planning Director Don McCauley, who recently gave us a quick status report on the projects.

While the Weston Road project is already in the process of jumping the last big hurdlesite plan approvalat the ZBA, the Delanson project was waiting for an obligatory appeals period to end before it headed there. Once the projects get through the ZBA it shouldnt be long until construction is in sight.

That would make for big changes on and around Linden Street, where property manager Federal Reality also has a sizeable Linden Square upgrade in mind that would get underway in 2021. One break for residents concerned about the construction, increased traffic and other threats to the character of their neighborhood is that all appears quiet on plans to redevelop the parking lots at the train station, which have largely gone unused since the pandemic emerged except for a series of drive-in movies.

Paris District Road Report for the Week of January 4, 2021 - KSST

Going into the 2021 session of the Connecticut General Assembly, legislators will grapple with prioritizing bills that are urgent because of the COVID-19 pandemic, revisitinglegislation from 2020 that didn't go anywhere because of the pandemic and passing a biennial budget.

But due to the impacts of virtual meetings, some legislators have noted they don't expect or wantvery many bills to be introduced this year.

Incoming House Speaker Matt Ritter, D-Hartford, doesn't think it will be feasible to have as many bills as normal and said the legislative process will move even slower because of remote work.

Rep. Holly Cheeseman, R-East Lyme, said we shouldn't see the usual number of bills submitted, and legislators must concentrate on what's important. She said she and her caucus feel "the focus should be on COVID recovery, from a public health point of view, from an economic point of view, from a mental and spiritual health point of view."

Ritter and Cheeseman shared their thoughts on legislative logistics and priorities with The Day this past week, as did Senate President Martin Looney, D-New Haven; Sen. Cathy Osten, D-Sprague; and Sen. Heather Somers, R-Groton.

The session starts Wednesday, and the plan is for senators and representatives to be sworn in outside the State Capitol building.

Ritter said committee meetings and public hearings will happen virtually on Zoom, but his hope is that as more people get vaccinated and the weather gets warmer, business will become more normal.

Outside of Zoom, CT-N will be covering some but not all hearings, and Osten said others will be on YouTube. Channels have been set up on YouTube to correspond with different hearing rooms.

Ritter said even with committees meeting over Zoom, they still will have to reserve room space, because that will prevent too many committees meeting at once. He said legislators must have their video camera on to vote, and if their video isn't working, they'll have to go to the Capitol.

Lawmakerswill have to vote on opening day to adopt the rule changes so the legislature can operate virtually. For example, Ritter said legislators have had to physically sign proposed bills, but a proposed change would create a mechanism to do this electronically.

Somers said some legislators "are very concerned about going to a completely virtual legislature, because it really infringes and dampens and lessens the ability to have a true democracy."

Legislators often have meetings for different committees they're on happening at the same time, so Somers questioned how members can run from one meeting to the next on Zoom. She also questioned how to hold votes open on Zoom and how to "ensure legislators are not just putting up a picture and tuning out." She would like to see a hybrid approach, where at least committee leaders are in person, spread out.

Somers said residents and other legislators have asked why legislators are reconvening now, and what role they'll play, considering Gov. Ned Lamont's emergency powers run until Feb. 9.

Cheeseman expressed concern about the digital divide, noting that many people particularly those who are older don't have a computer or smartphone. She said it would be wrong if people are precluded from weighing in because they don't have access to technology.

Leadership priorities

Ritter said his priority is "the budget, the budget, the budget." On odd years, the General Assembly is in session from January through June and passes a biennial budget, while on even years, the session is from February to May.

Ritter said there will "be a lot of wait and see" on the budget, because it depends on the impacts to the state of the $900 billion stimulus bill Congress just passed and there won't be a real sense of revenue projections until April.

Looney noted the governor will submit his proposed budget in February and then the Appropriations Committee of which Osten is co-chair will kick into action.

Regarding pandemic-related bills, Looney said he thinks the legislature will be looking at mental health needs, and at issues related to health insurance and access to quality care.

"In addition, I think we're going to be looking at things through a social justice focus, and how state policies affect racial justice matters, social justice matters, the huge gap between rich and poor in our state," Looney said.

He also expects a debate on legalizing cannabis, and hopes to legalize sports betting. He noted Lamont said he isn't proposing a bill on tolls this session.

Ritter said some of his priorities include amending the state Constitution to provide for early voting and no-excuse absentee balloting, and lowering health care costs, particularly on the exchange.

Asked about perennial topics such as marijuana legalization and sports betting, Ritter commented, "Would I vote for those? Yes. Are they my number-one priorities? No."

Cheeseman, an opponent of recreational marijuana legalization, thinks this issue is too important to do virtually, that it "deserves scrutiny in a regular session where the public can have access to the legislature."

Ritter thinks Connecticut should join other states and get rid of the religious exemption for childhood vaccination requirements. This has come up before: Lawmakers heard nearly 24 hours of public hearing testimony in February.

Looney, who thinks exemptions should be for only health-related reasons, thinks COVID-19 will provide momentum for the bill's passage, because "for the first time in a long time, we're confronted by a deadly virus for which there was no vaccine but now there is one."

Somers thinks "those types of super controversial bills," such as the religious exemption, should be put to the side "and we should focus on the things that are most critical in public health during a pandemic."

Local senators share priorities

The portal for legislators to start submitting bills opened last month. Once bills for 2021 are available online, the public can visit the CGA website, http://www.cga.ct.gov, to search for bills by keyword or by subject, and to track bills to get an alert when a certain bill changes status or when a public hearing is scheduled.

Aside from the budget, Osten said the Appropriations Committee will be working on a big piece of legislation on teachers' retirement.

A big priority for her and others in eastern Connecticut is passage of a gaming modernization bill that would allow sports betting.

In December, Osten outlined proposed legislation to create a standing Office of Pandemic Preparedness and a Medical Manufacturing Pipeline, similar to the Manufacturing Pipeline Initiative.

Osten also referenced several Native American issues she's working on: She wants to see Native American history incorporated into school curriculum, the John Mason statue removed from the Capitol Building and put in a museum, the phase-out of Native American mascots, and a retaining wall for a Schaghticoke burial ground that isunderwater.

She also said she's putting in legislation to look at mental health in the prison population, saying she wants to assess the amount of time served as a portion of the sentence and the recidivism rate or the likelihood to be arrested and imprisoned again for people with mental health conditions, compared to those without.

Both Osten and Somers, a ranking member of the Public Health Committee, said their top priorities are extending telehealth.

Somers also would like to see medical assistants be able to administer vaccines; Connecticut and New York at the only states that don't allow this.

Her other public health priorities include developing a physician recruitment program, limiting liability for health care workers treating COVID-19 patients with off-label drugs, improving access to funds for long-term care facilities and repealing the tax on personal protective equipment.

Somers said she is also interested in various environmental issues this session, such as implementing a deposit on nip bottles and providing resources to rural towns for enforcement of safe recreation on lakes.

Somers also said she is certain we will see bills that try to address issues in the police accountability bill that passed last summer.

With its stock down 35% over the past three months, it is easy to disregard Korea Computer Terminal (KOSDAQ:089150). It seems that the market might have completely ignored the positive aspects of the company's fundamentals and decided to weigh-in more on the negative aspects. Fundamentals usually dictate market outcomes so it makes sense to study the company's financials. In this article, we decided to focus on Korea Computer Terminal's ROE.

ROE or return on equity is a useful tool to assess how effectively a company can generate returns on the investment it received from its shareholders. In other words, it is a profitability ratio which measures the rate of return on the capital provided by the company's shareholders.

See our latest analysis for Korea Computer Terminal

Return on equity can be calculated by using the formula:

Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) Shareholders' Equity

So, based on the above formula, the ROE for Korea Computer Terminal is:

3.6% = 1.3b 37b (Based on the trailing twelve months to September 2020).

The 'return' refers to a company's earnings over the last year. One way to conceptualize this is that for each 1 of shareholders' capital it has, the company made 0.04 in profit.

We have already established that ROE serves as an efficient profit-generating gauge for a company's future earnings. We now need to evaluate how much profit the company reinvests or "retains" for future growth which then gives us an idea about the growth potential of the company. Assuming everything else remains unchanged, the higher the ROE and profit retention, the higher the growth rate of a company compared to companies that don't necessarily bear these characteristics.

It is hard to argue that Korea Computer Terminal's ROE is much good in and of itself. Not just that, even compared to the industry average of 6.1%, the company's ROE is entirely unremarkable. Therefore, Korea Computer Terminal's flat earnings over the past five years can possibly be explained by the low ROE amongst other factors.

As a next step, we compared Korea Computer Terminal's net income growth with the industry and discovered that the industry saw an average growth of 3.8% in the same period.

Earnings growth is a huge factor in stock valuation. Its important for an investor to know whether the market has priced in the company's expected earnings growth (or decline). This then helps them determine if the stock is placed for a bright or bleak future. One good indicator of expected earnings growth is the P/E ratio which determines the price the market is willing to pay for a stock based on its earnings prospects. So, you may want to check if Korea Computer Terminal is trading on a high P/E or a low P/E, relative to its industry.

Korea Computer Terminal doesn't pay any dividend, which means that it is retaining all of its earnings. This makes us question why the company is retaining so much of its profits and still generating almost no growth? So there might be other factors at play here which could potentially be hampering growth. For example, the business has faced some headwinds.

In total, we're a bit ambivalent about Korea Computer Terminal's performance. Even though it appears to be retaining most of its profits, given the low ROE, investors may not be benefitting from all that reinvestment after all. The low earnings growth suggests our theory correct. So far, we've only made a quick discussion around the company's earnings growth. So it may be worth checking this free detailed graph of Korea Computer Terminal's past earnings, as well as revenue and cash flows to get a deeper insight into the company's performance.

This Saturday On JP Roofing FAN NATION (Jan 2) - CBS Pittsburgh

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) The countdown to the new year has officially started! Time is winding down with only two days left, however police are urging people to put down the guns and stop celebratory gunfire.

Firing a gun into the air is illegal in the state of Virginia and if someone is hurt in the process, its considered a felony.

As many Virginians get ready to ring in the new year, its important to revisit the dangers of celebratory gunfire. New Years Eve is traditionally celebrated with fireworks and social gatherings, but some choose to celebrate illegally by shooting off rounds into the air.

Chesterfield County Police Captain Michael Breeden says theres an uptick in gunfire on the Fourth of July and New Years Eve, proving to be deadly.

What goes upmust come down, Captain Breeden said.Unfortunately, it happened here.

Before pulling the trigger, think about Brendon Mackey. On July 4, 2013, the 7-year-old was walking near the Boathouse in Brandermill with his father to watch fireworks when a stray bullet struck the top of his head, killing him instantly. Chesterfield County Police believe Mackeys death was the result of celebratory gunfire.

I cant imagine as a parent just a tragedy, Captain Breeden said. After that, we enhanced the law to where you could be charged with a felony if celebratory gunfire resulted in injury or unfortunately someone died.

The tragic case is unsolved, but still active. However, years after the 7-year-olds death in Chesterfield, folks are still firing off. Brandon Brooks, Operations Manager at Cross Timbers Roofing, holds onto stray bullets collected in the Richmond-Metro area.

What we have found over the years is occasionally we run into thisand that is bullet holes in the roof, Brooks said.

As Brooks verbalized that statement, he poured out the collection of bullets on a table.

Brooks manages the residential division of Cross Timbers Roofing and says his team is often called out to service leaky roofs. However, upon further inspection sometimes the culprit of the leak is a bullet lodged into the structure, which Brooks calls alarming.

When we find one of these (bullets) its never laying on the roof, Brooks said. We find it upside down on the roof. The beauty of your roof is that it protects you from the elements. Well, it also protected a family from a bullet, so us finding it in the roofyes that might be a good thing that day, but what if it didnt hit a roof on the way down.

According to Chesterfield Police records, the department has received 220 calls for fireworks and 57 for gunfire on New Years Eve over the last five years.

If you hear gunfire, youre encouraged to report it to police. If someone is hurt, call 911, but if not then officials ask you to call your city or countys non-emergency police number.

Liquid Roofing Market Research 2020 Deals with Business Segmentation By Revenue And Structure Forecast 2026 - NeighborWebSJ

Grace Roofing and Construction LLC, a respected Winston Salem Roofing Company, is quickly establishing itself as the unquestioned leader in their area when it comes to metal roofing. Thats because they now are installing advanced standing seam metal roofing panels that not only are extremely decorative but are also virtually leakproof under normal conditions. The special metal panels because of the way that they are installed and how sturdily they are built also feature unmatched longevity.

The company owner, Richard Sakowski, says, Many people are under the impression that all types of metal roofing panels offer the same benefits. Thats simply not the case. Some like the standing seam metal roofing panels that we offer are very advanced compared to other types of metal roofing panels that are out there. So much so, that they are by far what we recommend most to our customers who are exploring their metal roofing options. We encourage anyone who is looking for a quality made, decorative, and long-lasting roof covering, to highly consider adding standing seam metal roofing panels atop of their homes.

Sakowski continued by saying that one of the more unique qualities of their specialized metal roofing is that it has a hidden fastener system which greatly enhances its looks. In addition to that, standing seam metal roofing panels are raised where they are fastened together. He added that this keeps their seams about 1 above the normal water runoff channel. That way if even a section of one of the seams where two metal panels come together opens up over time, that seam is well above where the roof sheds the water and still will not leak. The company owner says that this is not the case with more conventional metal roofing panels because they are fastened together with screws that have neoprene washers that keep water from penetrating the roof. Those washers typically wear out after 10-15 years and by the time the leak is found, there is normally a lot of damage to the roof and the roof decking from water intrusion. Sakowski also pointed out that customers may save 50%-60% on the installation of regular metal roofing panels but they usually only last about as long as a shingle roof. Standing seam metal roofing is a true metal roof and when installed correctly will last a lifetime.

Those who have had standing seam metal roofs installed by Grace Roofing and Construction give them high marks on their Winston Salem roofing reviews. John Webster, simply stated in his 5 out of a possible 5-star review, Very pleased with our standing seam roof. Steff Nicholson declared, Fantastic to deal with!! Friendly customer service and fair prices. Highly recommend! Kate Brown wrote, Very pleased with the work and the whole process. They did everything promised. Even a friend, who is rarely impressed, said they did a great job. Great local company. Well worth your time to contact. All of these reviews were left on the companys Goggle maps Business Listing where some 50 reviews average out to a much more than respectable 4.9 out of a possible 5-stars.

Sakowski went on to add that they are a family-owned roofing business that brings over 15-years of experience to every job that they do in the Piedmont Triad area of North Carolina. One of their most popular services is whole roof replacements. He says that they also do many other large and small type roof repairs and they are excellent when it comes to finding and resolving roof leak issues. They have also made a name for themselves providing high-quality commercial flat roof services. The owner stated that those who would like more information on their metal roofing Winston Salem services can call them, shoot them an email, or they can fill out the form found in the middle of the homepage on their website. Grace Roofing and Construction not only provides roofing services for those in Winston Salem but also serves the roofing needs of those in Greensboro, King, Tobaccoville, and High Point.

Fire Marshal Kathy Clay never forgot a lesson she learned from the U.S. Forest Service about wooden roofs and fighting fire in the wildland-urban interface.

One of the things they teach is that if you have a home that has a shake roof thats more than 25% on fire, you just drive by, Clay told the Teton County Board of County Commissioners on Nov. 15. Its a triage effect, essentially. ... Youll save more by driving by.

Thats why Clay, the Teton Area Wildland Protection Coalition and Jackson Hole Fire/EMS recommended the County Commission disallow fire-retardant treated wood roof coverings for buildings in Teton Countys wildland-urban interface, areas where human-made structures and infrastructure like cell towers are in or close to places prone to wildfire. That includes much of Teton Village, East and West Gros Ventre buttes and swaths of land off Fall Creek Road, among other higher-end county locales.

The rule would not be retroactive, Clay told the News&Guide, meaning people with wooden roofs most often cedar shake roofs because of a common material wouldnt have to change them. Instead, Clay saw the regulation as forward-looking.

Itll be a good educational tool for people that are looking at their roofs and saying, Gee, maybe its time, she said.

The commission took Clay up on her suggestion, voting unanimously to begin a 45-day comment period. The board is now set to hear the issue for a final decision on Feb. 16.

Read more about the origin of the proposal and why cedar shake roofs are dangerous in the News&Guide, available for $1 on news stands countywide through Tuesday. You can also read online at JHNewsAndGuide.com.
