Frustration as Tesco fences off public footpath

TESCO is facing a backlash after it fenced off a public footpath and a piece of green space at a controversial site in Marston.

The company has been planning since 2008 to turn the old Friar pub at the corner of Marston Road and Old Marston Road into a supermarket despite local opposition.

With work yet to begin Tesco has erected a fence around the site because of concerns about its state of repair.

But the fence has sparked uproar as residents claim it is blocking off a public footpath and much-loved green space.

Crotch Crescent resident Eric Perkins, 54, accused Tesco of using bully boy tactics.

He said: This fence has blocked off the footpath in front of the old pub and also the area of grass and trees in front of that.

In Marston we are very passionate about our green space and our trees because it gives a feeling of open space to the area.

There was no public notice about this fence. Someone just turned up and started to erect it, blocking off a public right of way.

After several years of fighting to demolish a decaying building in Beaufort's downtown historic district, attorney Jim Moss has been granted permission by the city and is moving fast.

The Historic District Review Board approved Moss' request Jan. 25.

Work to tear down the house at 1411 Duke St., started Wednesday, and it is expected to be finished early next week.

Not all of the house will be destroyed. Some of the wood and its tin roof are going to the soon-to-open Buck Bass and Beyond in Beaufort Town Center, according to B.J. Adams and Jim Moss Jr., who are performing the demolition. The tin will be used in the store's indoor archery range, Moss Jr. said.

Adams said most of the scrap metal already has been removed by scavengers. A man was seen riding away Thursday with an old air conditioner strapped to his bike.

Historic preservationists opposed Moss' first request for demolition in 2010. However, after further inspection last month Maxine Lutz, interim director of the Historic Beaufort Foundation, said her organization would no longer oppose it because the house lacked historical significance.

Moss bought the house in 2007 for $206,000 as part of a group called Beaufort Six. He plans to build several two-story buildings, with commercial space on the first floors and apartments on the second floors.

PITTSFIELD -- The $10 million, 54-bed Berkshire Place nursing home facility planned for adjoining lots at 276 and 290 South St. has passed muster with the city Historical Commission.

The commission voted 5-1 this week, with Kathleen M. Reilly opposed, not to delay the demolition of a house built in 1894 on the site. The house and an addition built around 1979, which faces South Street, has been used for medical offices in recent decades.

James Scalise of S-K Design Group Inc., representing the developer, Berkshire Retirement Home Inc., said research showed the architecture of the home was not considered historically significant and the architect's identity could not be determined.

The two-story home does have "a limited connection" to a historical Pittsfield family, the Colts, because members lived in it early in the 20th century for several years, he said.

The building was later a boarding house and used for apartments before being used for medical offices for about a half century. The interior of the original house has been divided and renovated for offices. It is not listed on lists of historical significance, Scalise said.

Reilly said that because the home is not listed doesn't mean it could not be listed if such a designation were sought. "This is a significant neighborhood in Pittsfield history," she said.

While other commissioners appeared reluctant to approve the razing, they didn't believe there was enough historical significance

Scalise accepted a suggestion to consider that, if someone came forward soon and wanted to move the original home to another lot, an agreement would be considered. The developer is also open to allowing salvage of historic aspects of the building for reuse elsewhere and to encompassing a piece of the original house into the nursing home complex.

However, he said designers

Demolition to go as planned for new Berkshire Place nursing home in Pittsfield

WESTERLY The owner of the Potter Hill Mill has applied to the town for a demolition permit on the heels of the town taking steps to demolish buildings on the property itself.

Meanwhile, a hearing on Renewable Resources Inc.s appeal of the towns demolition order, the legal mechanism putting the company on notice of the towns intent to demolish buildings on the property, was postponed from Thursday night to Feb. 28, meaning the long saga will likely continue for at least another few months.

The hearing, to be conducted by the Building Code Board of Appeals, was postponed by agreement of the board and Renewable Resources, town solicitor Michelle Buck said. Kelly Fracassa, the lawyer who represents Potter Hill Mill, did not return a telephone message requesting comment for this story.

Edward Carapezza, the principal owner of Renewable Resources Inc., wrote to Building Official David Murphy on Tuesday in an email and outlined the companys plans to demolish eight buildings on the property, starting with the wooden buildings.

Carapezzas apparent willingness to demolish the buildings comes one month after he said he would fight efforts to demolish the buildings, which he planned to renovate and maintain because of their historic significance.

On Jan. 18, the town issued a stop work notice to Renewable Resources claiming it had started unauthorized demolition work without obtaining town, state, and federal permits.

Renewable Resources Inc. is appealing a Dec. 20 demolition order citing unsafe conditions issued by the town. The order puts the company on notice of the towns intent to demolish buildings on the property and to charge the company for the work through the placement of a tax lien on the property.

The dilapidated 19th century mill has been targeted for demolition, at various times, since at least the early 1980s when it was owned by Helen Cottrell.

Rhode Island Superior Court Associate Justice Brian Stern recently cleared the way for the town to demolish the property when he vacated a restraining order which had prohibited the town from following through on an earlier demolition order.

Mill owner applies for demolition permit

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. --

On the heels of a dozen vacant home arsons last spring, Birmingham Mayor William Bell pitched a plan to bulldoze hundreds of Birmingham's dilapidated buildings.

I can almost assure you that the houses we're looking at are the worst of the worst, Bell pointed out.

The Mayor asked for $1.5 million from the city's savings account.

However the city could only use that money, if the demolition was declared an extraordinary circumstance and if five City Councilors approved.

While some Councilors felt the move violated their policy of only spending five percent of city savings in a given year; most backed the plan.

I will be the first one to go out there Mr. Mayor with a hard hat and a sledgehammer and knock the first brick some of these dilapidated structures because they need to be torn down, Councilor Johnathan Austin argued.

I am certainly in agreement that if these places are beyond saving we do need to get them down because they bring the neighborhood down, stated Councilor Valerie Abbott.

We can violate our own policy when there is an emergency and we are in an emergency status, then-Councilor Carole Smitherman said.

It was an emergency plan to demolish the more than 220 properties.
