Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Asbestos is being removed from the former St. Nicholas Church in preparation for demolition of the historic Troy Hill landmark, which representatives of the city, the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation met recently to plan.

Diocese spokesman the Rev. Ronald Lengwin said the demolition has not been scheduled because it is not known how long asbestos removal will take: "It's not going to happen for a while."

When the church does come down, lane closures may result because traffic on Route 28 is just a sidewalk away from the towering brick structure. PennDOT spokesman Jim Struzzi said the demolition is unlikely to conflict with the state's highway construction, but the city will be responsible for coordinating traffic flow past the church during the tear-down.

The city granted the church historic status in 2001. Three years later, the parish in Millvale consolidated the Troy Hill congregation and began fighting efforts to save the old structure. PennDOT shifted its expansion of Route 28 to go around the church in 2008. At that point, the Preserve Croatian Heritage Foundation had raised $60,000 to begin plans for the building's reuse as a museum.

The foundation also paid to secure the building and make minor repairs.

For years, preservationists went back and forth with the parish over the church's future. Parish representatives argued that the vacant church was draining it of money that it needed for upkeep of the Millvale church and that it was a safety hazard.

The preservation group contracted its own study that determined it to be structurally sound and a feasibility study that indicated the building could viably be used as an immigrant museum.

After several suitors bowed out of deals to buy the church, the Northside Leadership Conference, in support of the preservation group, offered $1 for it, pending a survey to determine whether the hillside was stable.

Instead, the diocese sought a hardship provision in the city's historic code that allows for demolition. The Historic Review Commission denied the request, in part considering they had an offer that would relieve them of further expense, but they won in Common Pleas Court last summer.

Judge Robert Colville ruled that $1 is not a reasonable return. He cited previous case law in describing the church's historic designation in 2001 as, in effect, "a taking" that left the church hobbled by historic code demands.

Clearing of waterways to continue till Dec. 7 in barangay Maguikay, Tabok and Paknaan Cebu Daily News

A government demolition crew started taking down 15 of 130 houses in barangay Banilad, Mandaue City despite verbal protests of residents who pleaded to spare their houses because Christmas was near.

Some families chose to dismantle their own houses to avoid trouble.

Demolition work will resume in sitio Orel at 8 a.m. today as part of the citys effort to clear danger zones like creeks and easement zones of informal settlers.

Tonypet Juanico, housing and home site regulation officer, said Dec. 7 is the target date to clear the site and other inhabited areas in barangays Maguikay and Tabok (74 houses) and Paknaan (60 houses).

As early as 6 a.m., residents of houses built along a three-meter easement and danger zone of a waterway in sitio Orel gathered near the gates of San Miguel Corporation and blocked the entry of vehicles, including the food conglomerates delivery trucks.

The standoff lasted throughout the morning as a representative of the affected residents, Roberto Lebata, tried to negotiate a stay of the demolition with authorities.

He spoke with Supt. Crisaleo Tolentino, deputy police director and Cynthia Suico, community affairs officer of the Housing and Urban Development Office (HUDO).

The demolition proceeded at around 2 p.m.

Representatives of the Presidential Commission on the Urban Poor (PCUP) and the Commission for Human Rights (CHR), were present to ensure that the operation was carried out in a humane manner.
