It appears after five years of empty promises, the developer of Medley Centre in Irondequoit is finally going to begin work on the nearly empty shopping mall.

Scott Congel secured demolition permits last week to raze three buildings on properties he owns near the former Irondequoit Mall. The demolition is set to begin Thursday that will level three buildings on the East Ridge Road side of the shopping mall.

The three buildings set to be demolished are in poor condition after sitting vacant for years. They include a former insurance agency at 1665 East Ridge Road along with a former auto dealership and an abandoned home.

The demolition marks the first major milestone in Medley Centre's redevelopment.

"He has to really clean up the property. It has to be ready for anything that's done with this project and of course, I'm pretty stubborn in sticking to him. My primary goal is yes, we want to see this project move but meanwhile I have to protect our residents and our taxpayers that Irondequoit is a viable community for development and for business and aesthetically beautiful," said Town Supervisor Mary Joyce D'Aurizio, R-Irondequoit.

Business owners in that area say they've suffered the past number of months while East Ridge Road underwent extensive repairs. That project is about to wrap up.

The next step in improving the neighborhood is removing the dilapidated buildings. Applebee's sits between the properties slated to come down.

In a statement, the restaurant chain said:

D'Aurizio says the auto dealership building will stay for now as Congel wants to use it as a construction office and garage for construction vehicles.

His plan is to convert Medley Centre into a mixed-use facility that includes retail and residential. The Rochester Broadway Theatre League has also proposed putting a new performing arts center there.

Mayor Ross Humber points to a string of houses as he drives up to a fenced-off portion of the old Route 430 highway. Theres a lot of this town that should never have been dead.

In moments, old family homes in Daniels Harbour became piles of rubble with several swipes by the arm of an excavator. Demolition of homes located in a cordoned-off area began early onSept. 26. Photo by Jeff Elliott/The Northern Pen

Fluorescent pink Xs mark the fate of more than a dozen properties that trace the Daniels Harbour coastline.

Soon, the excavator starts its work and demolition begins early in the morning on Sept. 26.

One after the other, family homes are turned into piles of rubble.

The community of nearly 260 was plagued by a series of landslides in the past few years. In October 2006, a state of emergency was declared when the earth gave way, displacing four houses and one business as masses of soil descended into the Atlantic swell below.

In April 2007, 120,000 cubic metres of earth toppled into the sea by a landslide three times more powerful than the first which hit just months prior, causing a bungalow to careen over the chewed-away cliff, splashing into the Gulf of

St. Lawrence. Many nearby homeowners were forced to flee their houses, which were left on the embankment edge, thought to be too dangerous to occupy.

The 30-metre escarpment also devoured a portion of Route 430, which once cut through town, leaving most of the communities on the Northern Peninsula temporarily cut off from the rest of the province. Engineers eventually made a new route that completely bypassed the town.

The last landslide occurred in June 2008, but it didnt endanger any homes.

Arlington, MA (PRWEB) September 30, 2013

Infrasense, Inc., a national leader in detecting subsurface conditions, has recently completed subsurface investigations for 57 bridge decks in Michigan's southwest region. Most of the bridge decks of this project were surveyed with high-speed Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and high-resolution video, and select decks were surveyed using high-speed Infrared Thermography. These tests provide a condition assessment of the reinforced concrete bridge decks without requiring any cores or exposed rebar, and with no disruption to traffic flow.

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) data is collected to estimate rebar depth and corrosion conditions. The GPR data is collected in a series of lines spaced 3 feet transversely across the width of the deck, with each line representing a cross sectional slice of the deck at a particular offset. Decks in good condition consist of strong and uniform radar reflections from the rebar. GPR data with weak and inconsistent reflections indicate rebar-level deterioration in the bridge deck. As a part of the GPR data collection, high-resolution video was collected to allow for subsequent mapping of deck surface conditions (i.e. patching, spalling, and severe cracking.

The infrared data is collected in a series of passes across each deck, with each pass covering a deck width of between 12 and 15 feet. For a typical interstate deck with 2 lanes and left and right shoulders, the survey is carried out in four passes one in each lane and one in each shoulder. The survey produces a series of infrared images that are subsequently stitched together to produce a full-scale plan view infrared map. High-resolution optical video is collected simultaneously with the infrared video in order to identify any surface features that may appear in the infrared data. Structural features such as patches and sealed cracks, or surface features such as staining and debris, can be identified during the analysis to ensure an accurate assessment of the bridge deck condition.

Infrasense also offers a combination of both GPR and infrared to create a more effective bridge deck condition assessment. By combining IR and GPR surveys, the maximum amount of information can be obtained for the least cost. Decks with concrete overlays illustrate how GPR and IR methods complement each other. Infrared surveys are effective in detecting overlay debonding, while GPR is effective in detecting rebar-level deterioration. Combining GPR and IR methods becomes economical when applied with a two-level analysis approach comprised of an initial high-level analysis to obtain quantities of concrete deterioration, and subsequent selection of decks that would benefit from a more detailed analysis and mapping of the deck damage.

Infrasense Scans Michigan Bridge Decks for Delamination Using Ground Penetrating Radar, Infrared Thermography

LA GRANGE PARK A proposed amendment to the village's zoning code to promote the building of front porches was denied by the Village Board Sept. 24.

The amendment would have exempted the first 200 square feet of unenclosed front porches from the village's building coverage limit of 30 percent, allowing residents to build front porches without sacrificing interior space.

The amendment was requested by McNaughton Development, Inc., the developer building eight homes in the new Heatherdale subdivision. Village staff supported the amendment, but the board voted 4-2 against it.

The four trustees who opposed the amendment argued it wasn't a change the village necessarily needed. They were also hesitant to amend the village's new zoning code, which was approved in 2011.

Village staff backed the proposed amendment because residents with front porches spend more time outside in front of their homes, which helps them come into contact with neighbors, said Emily Rodman, assistant village manager.

Rodman said that over the past five years, only four of the 12 houses that have been rebuilt in the village included front porches.

"We felt that the data indicates that people are choosing to take the building coverage they are allowed and use it for interior space rather than use it for porches," she said. "We feel if that trend continues over the long term, we may see a loss of front porches in the community and that could impact characteristics of the community."

Trustee James Kucera, one of two board members who voted for the amendment, saw it as a chance to make the village more accommodating to potential homeowners.

"We want to make sure that we keep diversity of housing, well-built housing [and create] a strong housing market, giving people the option to put a front porch on," he said.

Although the amendment was intended to encourage the building of new front porches, it would have in effect given residents with existing porches a credit of 200 square feet to build on elsewhere on their property.
