Farrell Construction Earns National Building of the Year Award

On the seven-acre parcel that is 150 Monument Road in Bala Cynwyd today, there is a six-story office building, surrounded by a veritable sea of parking lot pretty typical of the pattern of development in Lower Merion Townships prime commercial corridor over the past several decades.

That office-park environment would have a new look more in keeping with the townships vision for the area, however, under a redevelopment plan starting its way through the approval process.

Keystone Property Groups tentative sketch plan for a new six-story, 207-unit apartment building on a part of the property took its first step forward Monday night.

With a number of questions it wants to see answered at the next stage, the Lower Merion Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the sketch plan. Co-Chairman Alan Ritterband, who was present for the meeting, recused himself in the vote. His co-chairman, Charles Howland, was absent.

The plan moves forward for review by the Building and Planning Committee of the board of commissioners Wednesday night.

In addition to the new residential building the second apartment project to come forward since rezoning of the City Avenue district in 2012 the plan calls for renovation of the office buildings exterior and construction of a four-story, 272-space parking garage to partially replace surface parking.

A commercial space of about 4,000 square feet, intended for a restaurant tenant, will front the parking structure on Monument Road.

The apartment building will contain another 207 parking spaces for residents, part of a total on site of 673.

In a presentation to the commission, attorney Carl Primavera, representing Keystone Properties, said the company acquired the property from previous owner Mack-Cali as that company opted to sell some of its suburban office portfolio to enter into the residential market. An association with Mack-Cali will continue, as a subsidiary, Roseland Property, develops the new multi-family building.

The projects architect said the apartment mix will be 60-percent one-bedroom units, with the remainder two-bedroom and a small number three-bedroom. Asked what tenant market it will be geared to, Keystone Senior Vice President Richard Gottlieb said the apartments would be at the upper end of the price scale. Continued...

There are more than 150,000 general aviation aircraft requiring access to controlled airspace, and NextGen cannot provide its promised benefits to the air traffic system unless these aircraft are participating with updated technology. The NextGen GA Fund is working exclusively on behalf of the GA community to enable these NextGen upgrades using financial incentives, including affordable financing programs and other assistance.

The NextGen GA Fund intends to finance NextGen equipment, related electrical systems, instrument panel modifications, antennas, wiring, and installation/certification costs under a single agreement.

It is recommended that aircraft owners work with their AEA-member repair stations to prepare fixed price quotations needed for financing application. To find an AEA-member repair station, please go to http://www.aea.net.

The NextGen GA Fund's capital is easy to apply for. Financing terms are attractive and highly competitive compared with conventional financing alternatives. Terms will vary for each applicant and are arrived at using commercially accepted consumer lending standards.

Pre-qualification for financing can occur within one day, and funds may be available usually within two days. All applications are held in strict confidence, and such information is never shared with third parties.

The situation is getting dire and California needs everyone on board

By Marianne, Taylor

Is there anyone in California that doesnt know were in a drought? Has the media told you over and over that the drought police are coming? Its looking pretty serious with the water warnings. As of July 15, 2014, new state rules were passed cracking down on water waste.

Weve been informed that residents, businesses and public entities will face daily fines up to $500. The infractions include: washing driveways and sidewalks; watering ornamental landscaping or turf with potable water that causes runoff; using a hose to wash a motor vehicle, unless the hose is outfitted with a nozzle; and using potable water in a fountain, unless the water is recirculated.

Im not sure who the drought police are but I do know that I do not want to wait to have an infraction if I can make simple changes in my daily life in and around my home.

Do your part. Starting today, use less water.

Time your showers to two minutesthe Navy way, get wet, soap up, wash off. While youre at it, add a bucket in your shower and collect water to use on your plants.

Even without a turf lawn, you can put together a beautiful, water-wise yard using native plants, perennial grasses and ground cover. Photo by Marianne Taylor

Calculate how much landscape water youre actually using. Recently, I saw my husband staring at his watch while he was filling a five gallon bucket full of water. I asked him, What are you doing? Washing your car? No, he said, Im figuring out how much water we use hand watering our plants. Turns out, it costs us about $3 to water for 30 minutes. Knowing this information is essential to getting in control of our water bills and water use.

CHICO >> New statewide rules are on the way to curb the easiest-to-change water-wasting habits. However, local water agencies aren't hiring water cops to hand out $500 fines.

What the new rules have done is call people's attention to the seriousness of the drought and provided a clear list of really bad water use behavior.

Last week the State Water Resources Control Board voted for statewide emergency drought regulations including:

Don't allow water to run down your walkway, down the street or onto structures.

If you wash your car, use a shut-off nozzle so the hose doesn't run while you're scrubbing.

Don't use a hose to wash off driveways and sidewalks.

If you have a fountain, make sure it has a system for the water to recirculate.

Also, cities or water companies need to have a plan with triggers in place that include water restrictions.

Local water agencies reached said they have these in place.

The main point of the four rules is to avoid what "no one should be doing," said Paul Gosselin, manager of Butte County Department of Water and Resource Conservation.

Question: We have a townhouse that is part of a homeowner association. We're on a very limited fixed income and can barely afford paying our monthly dues. We've just heard that the law is changing to make owners pay for their own maintenance for exclusive use areas. What is that legislation and how will it affect us? Is there something homeowners can do?

Answer: Town home, condominium, detached or attached homes it matters not. Making its way through California's Legislature is Assembly Bill 968, which could open the flood gates for expanding the responsibilities and monetary obligations of owners for their own units as well as any "exclusive use common area."

The bill seeks to rewrite Civil Code section 4775, which directs who pays to maintain, repair and replace in various areas at residential developments governed by homeowner associations.

First, some definitions. Under the current law, unless a development's governing documents specify otherwise:

"Common area" is the part of the property that the homeowner association administers a roof, pool or other area that serves the entire development. The association maintains, repairs and replaces in the common area.

"Separate interest" is the area, such as the inside of an individual town home or condo, that the owner is responsible for maintaining.

"Exclusive use common area" is something that goes with or is attached to a unit the law uses the term "appurtenant" such as a patio, which serves one or more owners but fewer than all the owners. The owner is responsible for maintaining that area.

Backers of AB 968, which include a group that represents homeowner associations, contend that the existing law is poorly worded when spelling out who should pay for repairs and replacements in exclusive use common areas. This could lead to safety problems or lawsuits, the supporters say.

In its current form, AB 968 spells out that an individual owner must maintain his or her unit (the "separate interest") and adds responsibility for repairing and replacing in the unit.

AB 968 goes on to say that each individual owner is responsible for maintaining the exclusive use common area, as before, and that the association is responsible for repairing and replacing in the exclusive use common area.

AB 968 would shift costs to individuals in homeowner associations
