Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Several high-profile demolition projects are on the agenda for Wednesdays Architectural Commission meeting, including one to raze Testas restaurant.

In addition to the restaurant, the Testa family plans to demolish the vacant gas station and lots on Sunset Avenue used for retail space, storage and parking. Family members have said they plan to rebuild the restaurant along with the rest of the 1.3-acre property.

Commissioners likely will approve the demolition request because none of the Testas buildings is protected under the towns landmark ordinance.

They also likely will approve applications to demolish residences at 20 and 30 Blossom Way that used to be the homes of Mary P. Bolton, the widow of Kenyon C. Bolton II. He was a descendant of the Bingham family that owned the original 17-acre, ocean-to-lake estate named Figulus, which was built in 1894 and subdivided in the late 1970s to become Blossom Estates.

The properties sold for a combined $50 million in December 2012 to the Black Calabash Family Holdings LLC.

Figulus IV, the house at 20 Blossom Way, won the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beachs Ballinger Award in 1991, recognizing its historically sensitive design. Boltons son, architect Kenyon C. Bolton III, designed both houses, which were completed in 1989.

The commission also will hear projects for several new residences, including newly elected Landmarks Preservation Commission Chairman William Cooleys proposed two-story house at 266 Fairview Road.

Also on the agenda:

* Demolition of the two-story apartment building at 245 Atlantic Ave. and construction of a new 4,977-square-foot, two-story single family residence with pool for Mr. and Mrs. Elvio DelZotto.

* Demolition of Ray and Kim Celedinas residence at 619 Island Drive.

New Delhi: Arun Jaitley, Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari, Venkaiah Naidu and Shiv Senas Anant Geete are likely to be included in a compact cabinet headed by Narendra Modi who has decided on a radical restructuring of the government with one cabinet minister heading a cluster of departments in complementary sectors.

A day ahead of his being sworn in as Indias 15th Prime Minister, it was stated on behalf of Modi that one cabinet minister would head a cluster of ministries working in complementary sectors so as to ensure convergence in the activities of various ministries.

Top layers of the government would eventually be downsized and there would be expansion at the grass root level, according to a statement issued by the Prime Minister-designates secretariat from Gujarat Bhawan where he has been ensconced for the last four days holding consultations on his government formation. In forming his cabinet, Modi has adopted the principle of minimum government and maximum governance and also rationalisation with a commitment to bring a change in the work culture and style of governnance, it said.

The statement came at the end of another day of guessing game about the names of ministers to figure in the Modi cabinet that will be sworn in at 6 pm tomorrow. Till late Sunday night, even Rashtrapati Bhavan had received no list of ministers from the Prime Minister-designate. The final list is now expected to be sent on Monday morning.

However, indications were that Jaitley would get Finance, Rajnath will be in charge of Home and Gadkari one of the infrastructure ministries. Geete would also have a Cabinet portfolio. Other names making the rounds for the cabinet include Sushma Swaraj, Ananth Kumar, Ravi Shankar Prasad, Uma Bharti, Harsh Vardhan and Piyush Goel. Sources said that the number of ministers would be between 30 and 35 which would be much smaller than usual.

However, an expansion of the ministry may take place later. There was no clarity on the role of Advani with some reports suggesting that he may not be made lok Sabha Speaker which he is said to favour but he may continue as NDA chairman. In that case, Sumitra Mahajan, a senior BJP Parliamentarian and former minister, may become the Speaker. Deputy Speaker in the outgoing Lok Sabha, Karia Mundas name is also being speculated for this post. NDA ally TDP has recommended the name of party MP Ashok Gajapathi Raju, who won from Vizianagaram Lok Sabha constituency, to be inducted into the Union Cabinet.

Sources said Shiromani Akali Dal, an old ally of BJP, may find a place in the Union Cabinet and the SAD leadership is learnt to have suggested the names of Harsimrat Badal and Naresh Gujral. Once party president Rajnath Singh joins the Cabinet, his replacement would be worked out along with restructuring of the party and the name of J P Nadda is learnt to have been cleared by the party leadership and RSS to replace Rajnath.

The statement on behalf of Modi said he is aware of the high expectations of the people. For whole of four days, he was busy with the formation of the ministry and discussing various alternatives to effective governance, convergence and coordination between various ministries, it said. Modi is eventually aiming at smart governance where the top layers of Government will be downsized and there would be expansionat the grass root level, the statement said.

Earlier, there was political instability and multi-party governments and the ministry formation was almost done in a bifurcated manner, it said. The Prime Minister-designate, it said, tried in a rational manner to club like-minded departments in the ministry formation in such a way to convert entity of assembled ministry to organic entity.

The statement went on to add that integrated and inter-connected nature of governance is being focussed in this new dent. In the ministry formation, the process of development will be more inclusive than it has been, it said. At the outset, the statement said Modi has made a dent in formation of ministries. It is a good beginning in transforming entity of assembled ministries to organic ministries. It will bring more coordination between different departments and will be more effective and bring a spee in process, it said. (PTI)

Jaitley, Rajnath, Gadkari Likely in Modi Cabinet

NEW DELHI: A small and compact cabinet under Narendra Modi appeared to be taking final shape Sunday, with BJP leaders Rajnath Singh, Arun Jaitley, and Sushma Swaraj likely to get the top posts, according to party sources.

The cabinet is expected to be compact, said party sources. Restructuring is expected in the government and some ministries are likely to be merged.

BJP president Rajnath Singh appears set to be the next home minister, but internal security may be taken away from the home ministry and kept with the prime minister's office.

Talks are on over Rajnath Singh's replacement in the party, with general secretary and former Himachal Pradesh minister JP Nadda among the contenders for the post.

While Arun Jaitley is likely to get finance ministry, Sushma Swaraj may get external affairs or defence ministry.

Ravi Shankar Prasad, Najma Heptulla, Sumitra Mahajan and Ananth Kumar are also likely to find place in the cabinet, as are representatives from allies Shiv Sena, and Telugu Desam Party, whose chief N Chandrababu Naidu also met Modi Sunday.

However, coming out of the meeting, Naidu said that a ministerial post is not important.

"I did not ask for any representation," he said.

"We are an ally of the NDA, power is not important, national development is important. Both in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana there are problems. Under his (Modi's) leadership, we want a solution to these problems," Naidu said.

However, TDP sources in Hyderabad said Pusapati Ashok Gajapathi Raju is likely to be the lone face from the TDP to be inducted into the union cabinet Monday.

Jaitley, Rajnath, Gadkari likely in Modi's compact Cabinet

The federal Cabinet is divided over how much power and amount of resources the new national security agency, the Australian Border Force (ABF), should have.

The ABC has learnt there is a push from some senior ministers to have biosecurity operations rolled into the ABF, but others in Cabinet are fighting to keep it separate.

The new national security agency will combine the frontline operations of Customs, Border Protection and Immigration personnel.

It is designed to be a permanent replacement for Operation Sovereign Borders, which has been crucial to the Federal Government delivering on its promise to stop asylum seeker boats from reaching Australia.

The ABC understands several senior Cabinet ministers want the Australian Border Force to include biosecurity operations, which are currently under the control of the Department of Agriculture.

They believe the move would streamline operations and save money, by having Customs and biosecurity officials, who often work side by side, in the same agency.

But National Farmers' Federation (NFF) CEO Matt Linnegar said it was "a dumb idea".

"Whoever thought of it should take the piece of paper, screw it up and throw it in the bin," he said.

He said such a move could weaken Australia's quarantine operations and put Australia's agricultural sector at risk.

"Our clean, green image, our reputation for producing quality food and fibre around the world absolutely relies on our biosecurity status.
