Bristol Marine Preisdent Andy Tyska addresses the Bristol Zoning Board Monday night regarding the marinas proposed expansion, which the board approved.

Marina President Andy Tyska plans to add 200 feet, about doubling the length of his current dock, and add 18 boat slips, bringing the total number of slips to 39. The project would allow Bristol Marine to service larger boats in deeper water. Mr. Tyska said he also plans to build a new boat yard shed and install and 8-foot high fence around the Poppasquash Road property to add security and shield work going on in the boatyard from the road.

This will allow us to expand, grow and create jobs, Tyska told the Zoning Board. He estimated 20 people are currently employed year-round at the marina and related marine businesses on the property, a number that increases to about 26 during the peak spring season.

Before any expansion can begin, Bristol Marine must connect to the town sewer system. There are no access points in the Poppasquash area, forcing Mr. Tyska to run a line to Hope Street at a cost of more than $200,000. The most direct route for the sewer line runs through Colt State Park, requiring approval from the state Department of Environmental Management. After Zoning Board approval Monday required because Bristol Marine sits in a residential district, having existed before current town zoning laws the Town of Bristol will partner with Mr. Tyska in applying for DEM approval.

Getting the sewers is our top priority, Mr. Tyska said, adding he hopes to get state approval for that first phase of the project this summer. The marinas septic system has failed, causing runoff into the bay after every hard rain.

Once the sewer line is in place, Bristol Marine plans to begin construction on the new boatyard shed, followed by the dock expansion. The full project should take about two years to complete, he estimated.

Its been a long time coming to get to this point for Bristol Marina, which initially floated the expansion plans about five years ago. That much larger project which called for dock expansion north into state waters with as many as 75 boat slips faced opposition from town officials and neighbors, including the nearby Bristol Yacht Club, which opposed the original plan because it would disrupt the approach path for boats leaving and entering the club. Mr. Tyska said he has worked with those neighbors and scaled down the project to accommodate their concerns. No one spoke against the project Monday.

This plan truly represents consensus, Mr. Tyska said, noting only about 10-15 customers come and go on most days during peak season; none during the winter. The impact will be minimal on land and water.

That consensus came at a cost for Bristol Marine. To gain Bristol Yacht Clubs agreement, the company has agreed to extend the sewer line to the club, pay to add an additional string of docks to the club, which Bristol Marine will maintain for 10 years, build a keel boat launching pier, and offer a 10 percent discount on marine services to club members. Bristol Marine has also agreed to limit how far east its expansion runs, mitigating the impact on the approach path. Yacht Club members approved the agreement on April 27.

Bristol Marine, despite the expansion, will continue to operate just as it has for several decades, Mr. Tyska said, providing boat storage in the water and on land, as well as service and repairs. Other related businesses on the property include bicycle and kayak rentals, a yacht brokerage firm, marine equipment consignment sales and Legacy Seafood.

Bristol Marine expansion wins Zoning, neighbor approval

HUNTSVILLE Huntsville City Council seems to have an issue with several aspects of plans for a new subdivision on the south side of town.

Representatives from the Texas Grand Ranch Subdivision, which will be located off of FM 1374, presented their plans for a 2,100-acre, 746-lot neighborhood.

Renee Howes, who represents the developers, said they are requesting six variances from the city development code for the nearly half of the lots that would fall under city jurisdiction, so they can build under the county requirements. They include street width, lot depth and width ratio, streetlights, water lines, and sewage lines.

If Huntsville Planning and Zoning Commission approves the variances on May 15, each potential property owner would have to install their own wells and septic systems. Council members had issues with the number of wells that would be required.

Councilmembers Don Johnson and Tish Humphrey both questioned the ability for that many customers to draw from the same well.

Im surprised the state of Texas still allows that many wells to draw from the same place, Humphrey said. Thats a lot of straws.

Howes said the company performed a groundwater study that showed that the Jasper Aquifer, where the subdivision would draw from, has very good quality water. That aquifer is not connected to the Huntsville water supply.

We talked to (city development director Aron Kulhavy) the city would like to provide us water, but unfortunately...the nearest water supply is more than 7 miles away, Howes said.

Jeff Brown, the engineer helping the company develop plans, said the nearest water plant is 11 miles away, and the nearest sewer treatment plant is 7 miles. That would provide a total cost of more than $10 million, according to the city, and more than $12 million, according to Brown.

Following the code that you have, we dont think thats economically feasible for anybody, Brown said. Yes, well have 750 customers one day. ... But they will build their house when they want to, when they need to.

Kolkata, May 6 : A new St Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Church was consecrated by His Beatitude Mar George Cardinal Alancherry, Major Archbishop of the Syro-Malabar Church at Behala area in Kolkata on Wednesday in the presence of His Grace Archbishop Thomas D'Souza of Kolkata Diocese, and His Excellency Salvadore Lobo, Bishop of Baruipur and other dignitaries.

The Church, which has Jesus with open arms and other visually appealing Indian and local facets, has been designed by Church Art.

Located in Behala, the Syro-Malabar Church is decorated in indigenous style, with the images of Jesus and the Saints sporting Indian-style looks and clothing. The cynosure in the hall of worship is a mural of St Thomas examining the wounds of Jesus.

There is also a mural of St John baptizing Jesus. The tabernacle is decorated with sacramental symbols in the background. The main door has biblical symbols.

With the consecration of the Church the long-standing aspirations of the Syro-Malabar Catholics in Kolkata would be fulfilled. The Church would also carry out various social welfare activities besides spreading the message of peace, harmony and spiritual development, said His Beatitude Mar George Cardinal Alancherry, Major Archbishop of the Syro-Malabar Church, said.

The Syro-Malabar church dates back to the time of St Thomas the Apostle, one of the 16 disciples of Jesus, who died and was buried in Chennai. The Syro-Malabar members, who migrated to West Bengal from early 70s, would now be able to say the weekly Holy Mass as per the Syro-Malabar rite in Malayalam which was introduced in St Ignatius Church, Ekbalpur, in 1978.

The foundation stone for the Church was laid in April 2011 by Mar Joseph Perumthottam, Archbishop of Changanacherry, in the presence of His Grace Archbishop Lucas Sirkar, SDB, and the construction work began on September 2013 after obtaining necessary legal sanctions and clerances.

The Syro-Malabar Church members raised funds for the church building since the erection of the new parish through contribution and by hosting Kerala food festivals since 2005. The CMI congregation contributed the rest of the funds.

Through the art of inculturation we are trying to bring people of all religions together for better peace and harmony, said Subrata Ganguly of Church Art, who has done the interiors of the Church.

New York (PRWEB) May 06, 2014

Appliance Doctor, an award-winning New York appliance service company, announced that it now offers heating and air conditioning services, including maintenance and repair on existing heating and air units and installation of new units, to homeowners, rental tenants, landlords, and property management companies in the Bronx and Westchester County.

Weve offered maintenance and repair services on appliances for 34 years, and recently a lot of our customers have asked us to add HVAC repair and installation services, so we decided it was a logical next step for the company, said Anthony Attanasio, owner of Appliance Doctor. New York summers are very hot, and our winters are very cold, so residents want to be comfortable in both extremes. Replacing an old heating and air conditioning unit is a big decision, and property owners and tenants want to be able to trust the person they hire for the installation. We look forward to being able to meet that need.

Appliance Doctor recently began offering a Total Care Club to customers to encourage regular maintenance on appliances and HVAC units. Routine maintenance is key to keeping a heating and air conditioning unit running at optimum performance and to keeping a manufacturers warranty valid but after several years of use, even the best units need to be replaced. Replacing an old unit with a new energy-efficient one can save homeowners and tenants money in the long run but savvy customers want the best value up front as well.

We will provide customers with the best price and the best unit for their comfort needs, and we guarantee reliable installation services and ongoing maintenance throughout the life of your unit, said Attanasio. We believe its important for local contractors to be transparent and stand by their work, since our reputation counts for so much in the Bronx and Westchester County communities.

The company has plans to add heating and air conditioning services to all homeowners in New York City later this year, according to Attanasio.

Appliance Doctor received the 2013 Service Award from the Professional Service Association, an industry leadership organization dedicated to providing educational training, certification, business management training, support and fairness to the independent service industry.

To make an appointment for heating and air conditioning maintenance, repair, or installation, call Appliance Doctor at 800-339-0353 or visit http://www.appliancedoctorx.com.

Appliance Doctor Expands, Adds Heating, Air Conditioning Services

Australia's construction sector contracted for the fourth straight month in April despite an improvement in residential building, a survey by Australian Industry Group and Housing Industry Association showed Wednesday.

The Performance of Construction Index fell to 45.9 in April from 46.2 in March. Any reading below 50 indicates contraction in the sector.

In April, commercial construction dropped sharply to 45.7 from 56.5 in March. Engineering construction also declined in April, to 39.2 from 45.5.

Meanwhile, house building rose 3.8 points to 54.6, and apartment building was 12.3 points stronger to reach 57.9, data showed.

"The deepening slide in engineering construction is overshadowing the growth in residential building activity and the tentative recovery of commercial construction as seen in the expansion in April of new commercial construction orders," Australian Industry Group Director - Public Policy, Peter Burn, said.

The new orders sub index, which measures the future activity declined to 46.6 from 48.3. Input prices were lower in April, but the corresponding index remained high at 68.4.

Australian Construction Sector Contracts For Fourth Month

WHITTIER No one was reported injured in a partial collapse of new construction atop the Karmel Mall, a bustling immigrant shopping center located adjacent to the Midtown Greenway.

Witnesses described a loud rumble at about 8:45 a.m. Tuesday as wood framing on the two-story buildings roof collapsed, some of it falling onto the Pillsbury Avenue sidewalk below. Some of the addition fell onto power lines, and there were reports of power outages in the area at the time of the collapse.

Building owner Basim Sabri said the construction was for a third- and fourth-floor expansion of the mall, which houses dozens of businesses mainly owned by and catering to the Somali community. A framing crew was at the site up until about 11:30 p.m. the night before the collapse, Sabri said.

They shouldve secured the trusses at the end a little more, he said, adding that things fell like dominos in the wind.

He said Monday was the first major day of construction.

Fifth Precinct Commander Todd Loining said Sabri had the necessary permits in place for the work. Sabri has in the past initiated work on the buildings he owns in the area without first getting the required permits.

Loining said the older parts of the building did not appear to be damaged in the collapse. About two-dozen people were evacuated from the mall when first responders arrived on the scene, he said.

Hassan Mohamud, who works at a business that sells prepaid calling cards inside the mall, said he was smoking a cigarette outside the gated parking lot when the collapse occurred. It was a little windy at the time, Mohamud added.

I think its bad construction, he said. In my opinion, I think hes not going to the rule.

Raymond Hoffman, who lives across Pillsbury Avenue in the Park Square Condominiums, said he called recently elected Ward 10 City Council Member Lisa Bender to express his concerns about the quality of the construction prior to the collapse.
