Ortiz: We will defy NNNP demolition

- May 22, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

MAYOR Jose Max Ortiz of Salvador Benedicto town declared Wednesday that the Municipal Government will defy any removal and demolition of structures at the multiple use zone of the North Negros Natural Park (NNNP) located in their locality.

"If there is somebody or any government agency who will order the demolition, we will defy the order," Ortiz said.

He was reacting to Governor Alfredo Maraon Jr.s statement last week that the demolition of illegal structures at the NNNP will be conducted soon.

"We see no problem if the demolition will be done at Strictly Prohibited Zone. The Municipal Government should be the one to regulate because we already have the Forestry Land Use Plan approved by the Protected Area Management Board (PAMB) and it is only PAMB that is the administering body and has jurisdiction on the matter," Ortiz said.

He added that the Technical Working Group (TWG) will submit its report and recommendation to PAMB regarding the NNNP issue at Salvador Benedicto.

Ortiz lamented that their municipality is being singled out on the issue of encroachment at the NNNP even though the forest reserve covers several localities from Murcia town to San Carlos City.

Last week, Maraon said the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is ready to demolish the illegal structures at the protected area of the NNNP in Salvador Benedicto which include those owned by individuals who were served cease and desist orders (CDOs).

A total of 89 individuals were already served CDOs for putting up illegal structures within the NNNP.

The governor said the demolition will not have legal impediment, because the owners of the structures trespassed the law.

Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (Penro) officer Andres Untal earlier said the matter will be referred to the PAMB before the demolition takes place.

Demolition work starts on Boyd Community Center in OHara

- May 22, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

Published: Wednesday, May 21, 2014, 9:00p.m. Updated 5 hours ago

Barb Satler spent a little more time than usual looking out of her office window this week.

The interim executive director of Boyd Community Center was eager for crews to arrive and knock the first bricks from a vacant portion of the building.

The move signifies the first step toward construction of a new $8.2 million facility, which is to start this summer.

It has been extremely exciting here the last few days, Satler said.

I'm looking forward to moving ahead with this project.

Demolition was scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m. today (Thursday), nearly six weeks after Ritenour & Sons contractors landed the $166,000 job.

Satler said work was delayed while the contractors waited for asbestos-removal permits from Allegheny County.

O'Hara Engineer Chuck Steinert said fencing was erected around a portion of the building last week. Over the last several days, trees were removed from the perimeter of the 11-acre campus along Powers Run Road.

Demolition is the first step in a long-awaited project to replace the worn community center, where programs long ago outgrew the cramped classrooms.
