As the demolition of the former Princeton Hospital progresses, so do complaints by residents of the neighborhood about noise, air quality, contaminants, and debris. While members of the municipal staff have responded courteously to many of the residents problems, there is a concern that the towns actions are more reactive than proactive.
It really shouldnt be for the neighbors to make recommendations, said Anita Garoniak, whose Harris Road house is close to the site. But thats whats been happening.
Ms. Garoniak was referring to a communication between another resident and the municipal staff about spraying down only the lower level of the building while the upper level was being demolished. The problem was corrected. Its concerning that this has to come from somebody in the neighborhood whos keeping an eye on things, Ms. Garoniak said.
A report by a resident who said she experienced a metallic taste in her mouth and an irritated throat and nasal passages when walking by the site was taken seriously by the towns health officer Jeffrey Grosser. After investigating, Mr. Grosser said he is not overly concerned but will continue to look into the situation.
We spoke to one individual who had the symptoms, but nothing told us it was actually coming from the site, he said. There are a lot of reasons to have a metallic taste in your mouth. Some are environmental. Based upon interviewing different people at the site as well as checking the monitors, and asking around, we didnt have any reason to believe there was a problem. But we havent ruled it out, either. Well continue to check the air monitor reports.
Mr. Grosser and other members of the staff visit the site every Monday morning and do spot checks during the week. Some neighborhood residents have suggested that those checks be stepped up, with someone be on site at all times to anticipate problems.
Noise is another source of complaints. AvalonBay, the developer that plans to build a 280-unit rental complex on the site, has an acoustical consultant there during the demolition and the repair work to the parking garage. Monitoring has revealed that noise has exceeded acceptable levels. Bob Kiser, Princetons engineer, said the Mercer County Health Department has been asked to take additional noise measurements.
They have the ability to enforce the noise requirements, Mr. Kiser said on Monday. We expect them to take measurements within the next few days. They have been out twice but were hoping to get them back very soon.
Ms. Garoniak said the noise can be deafening on her property. It is very disruptive. Its tiresome to keep calling and complaining about it, she said. And when somebody on Moore Street is calling the day after Thanksgiving to say they are being disturbed by it and they can do nothing, something is wrong.
Mr. Kiser said that acoustic measurements are now being taken at the residential properties abutting the demolition site. One of the things Jeff [Grosser] has asked for is that these measurements be taken right at [Ms. Garoniaks] property line, and other locations as well, he said.

Permits were issued Wednesday, will remain valid for 180 days

IOWA CITY Iowa Citys Historic Preservation Commission has voted that the mid-19th century cottages on South Dubuque Street are historically significant.
The commission Thursday voted unanimously that the cottages, which reached public attention in recent weeks after property owner Ted Pacha proposed a rezoning last month that would potentially demolish the buildings, meet the required criteria to be designated as historic local landmarks.
Committee member Kate Corcoran responded to criticism that the application, filed by Friends of Historic Preservation, was a rushed effort.
Im very persuaded by the application, Corcoran said. Personally I dont think there is anything haphazard ... I think that all that has happened was necessary.
The cottage discussion now heads to the Planning and Zoning Commission for review.
While points raised by several residents attending the meeting delved into the structural integrity of the cottages, the development project initially proposed for the site and the manner in which individuals on both sides have approached the issue, Ginalie Swaim, chair of the commission, was clear on the boards focus.
The role of the Historic Preservation Commission is to decide on whether the cottages are historically significant, Swaim said. While theres many ways of looking at what to do with these cottages, our role is very precise.
Before the commission vote, Kelsey Pacha, son of Ted Pacha, argued against the Friends of Historic Preservations application, claiming the document to be a haphazard collection of unfounded facts. Kelsey Pacha also criticized the groups last minute attempt to deter his fathers requested rezoning of the properties.

Editors note: Demolition of the historic Granger Building began last week. This story captures the final hours leading up to the demolition.
Dawn was breaking over the streets of Reedley when local farmer Fitzgerald Kelly drove up to the Granger Building shortly before 6:45 a.m. on Dec. 3. He found a man from Tracy waiting to climb into the cab of a John Deere excavator.
Within a couple hours, the big piece of equipment with a forked claw on its long arm would rip into the buildings roof and brick walls.
Kelly one of several passionate preservationists who wanted to save the 1892 Granger Building said he harbored no ill feelings for the excavator operator or other workers from a demolition company.
His reference to soldiers seemed appropriate since the debate over the Granger Building had become something of a battle between preservationists and officials of the Kings Canyon Unified School District and the city of Reedley.
Some preservationists had used harsh, blunt words in their earlier efforts to save the building, and that pattern continued on demolition day. Phrases such as they . . . lied to us and trail of destruction were uttered as a tide of frustration rolled over supporters, who gathered at the Granger Building on Dec. 3.
The structure had stood in the heart of Reedley for more than a century and came to represent an important link with the citys history much like the nearby twin water towers and the Reedley Opera House.
Kelly was mindful of the Granger Buildings history as he waited for demolition to begin.
It was once the biggest warehouse west of the Mississippi, he said. Its 122 years old, and its coming down. Just amazing.
Kelly was angry, he said, because he had received assurances from KCUSD officials on Dec. 2 that demolition was not scheduled to start the next day. As he stood in front of the building, Kelly called the office of KCUSD Superintendent Juan Garza, talked to Garzas administrative assistant and told her that he had been lied to the day before.

Because of the home's close proximity to water, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requires that a Base Flood Elevation test be performed. This test determines the highest elevation to which floodwater might rise and allows the builder to accurately calculate the height of the new foundation to avoid future flooding. Once the test is completed, soil boring is performed and the proper foundation, either masonry or pilings depending on the strength of the soil, is designed by an architectural engineer.
The reconstruction of the foundation begins with the removal of all steps, stairs and porches and the disconnection of all utilities, then the actual house lift occurs. When the new foundation is in place, the property is back-filled and graded to allow water to run from the foundation rather than collecting around it and causing possible future damage. The house is then lowered onto the new foundation, the utilities are reconnected, and new steps, stairs and porches are added, as well as any other renovation that is needed on the exterior of the house.
In the case of the Sea Bright residence, the soil strength will allow a masonry foundation, and the necessary materials have already been delivered to the location. Because of the uncertainty of weather conditions in late autumn, all involved hope that clear weather will prevail during construction so that there will be no delays and the foundation refurbishing process goes as planned.

3. Dont lose your rental deposits
If your landlords tries to keep all or some of your rental deposit, that could really set you back financially. Before you move in make sure you do an inventory and take photos which can be used as evidence later, if your landlord tries to deduct money from your deposit. Also check your contract to see if it says the carpets need to be deep cleaned, make sure you do it, and patch up any damage such as holes in the walls. Ensure nothing from the inventory is missing or broken. If your landlord unfairly tries to withhold your deposit, you can get it back through the arbitration process provided by the deposit scheme in which your money is held.
4. Get a good credit rating
Credit scoring is a system used by lenders to check how financially attractive you are to them, using your past actions to predict how you will manage your money in the future. If you dont have a good credit score youll struggle to get a mortgage. If youve been flat sharing and youve had a joint account with flatmates then watch out: if the person youve shared with has a worse rating than you, they could drag yours down. Improve your rating by getting on the electoral roll, always paying your bills and using a credit card without missing payments.
5. Become a property guardian
If you dont mind living in a church, a disused school, or an office, the average tenant could more than half their rent by becoming a property guardian. Basically, youre getting paid to babysit an empty building to fend off squatters and tramps. The monthly rent is typically 200 - 300 a month. This would mean someone paying 600 to live in a flat share could save 300-400 a month extra towards buying a home. So, a two-year stint as a property guardian could save you 9,600.

6. Buy with a friend or do shared ownership
Shared ownership schemes allow you to part-buy and part rent your home. You buy a share of your chosen property (typically between 25pc and 75pc) which youll pay for gradually with a mortgage. You then pay rent to a housing association on bit that you dont own. Another option is to buy a whole property, but do it with a friend. If you do this its well worth paying to get proper legal agreements drawn up in case one of you wants to sell your share.
