Road Construction Roundup: July 11, 2017 - Plattsburgh Press Republican

Traffic patterns in a small portion of North Augusta will undergo a major change in a few days, with the start of the annual Nike Peach Jam.

The basketball tournament, featuring the country's top teen talent, comes this year in the midst of a massive construction project designed to add two gyms, to give Riverview Park Activities Center a total of six. Play is to start Wednesday and run through Sunday.

At the helm is Rick Meyer, director of the North Augusta Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism. Referring to construction, he said, "It stops Tuesday, but what you'll see Monday will be very limited. There won't be anything major going on. They'll push a little bit of dirt around, and it's ... finishing the cleanup, to make the site look as neat as possible when Wednesday rolls around."

With the park's landscape having changed, new parking plans are in place. "I think the biggest change you'll see is that we will designate parking areas for different groups, due to the construction. We haven't done that too much, because there was plenty of ... room to get around."

Meyer, offering examples, said there will be one designated area for NCAA coaches, and another one for volunteers, workers and staff.

As usual, valet parking will be offered for the teams and "a handful of Nike VIPs," he said.

"We'll have a traffic cop," he added, confirming plans for the North Augusta Department of Public Safety to have a representative on hand for the afternoon and evening sessions, when traffic is normally heaviest. Other municipal employees will be on hand during other hours, to help keep traffic flowing.

Helping with the indoor hospitality is Mike Chavous, who is also in parks, recreation and tourism. He leads culinary outreach to the teams (53 the most in the event's history) and coaches alike.

The volunteer corps, representing First Baptist Church of North Augusta and TrueNorth Church, numbers 126 "136 with the guys who do the grilling," Chavous said.

Rooms were set up Friday and Saturday, "and Monday, we'll be cutting peaches," he added. "Tuesday, the food comes in. Wednesday is the banquet."

Several teams play Wednesday evening, but most start Thursday. The championship game is set for Sunday at 2 p.m., with live coverage to be on ESPNU.

The Falls Church City Managers office last week issued a blockbuster updated Mixed Use Development Fiscal Impact Report showing that eight completed mixed-use (combined residential and retail) projects that have been built and occupied in the City since The Broadway launched the trend in 2003 collectively have given an enormous boost to the City.

The projects, taken together, generate a net $3.8 million a year to the City, equal to almost nine cents on the real estate tax rate, compared to $571,000 a year that their combined 18.5 acres were generating for the City before.

The net revenue takes into account the projects added cost to the City, including to its schools. The gross tax revenues they generate are $10.6 million annually, and the net $3.8 million sum deducts the cost of operational support costs to the City, including the cost of educating the approximately 200 (the estimated range is 174 to 219 as two of the newest projects, 301 West Broad and the Lincoln at Tinner Hill, are not yet fully occupied) students that live in their residences.

The new evaluation also does not include the most recent development, that Target has signed a lease to occupy 26,000 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor of the Lincoln at Tinner Hill. The report notes, however, that the addition of Target will incentivize other smaller retailers to rent spaces in that building or nearby.

Some of the biggest proposed mixed-use projects are still in early stages of gaining approvals for construction from City Hall, as well. Notably, there is the long-awaited 4.3-acre Founders (formerly Mason) Row at the northeastern corner of the W. Broad at N. West Street, the Insight Development project for 2.5 acres at the northeastern corner of the intersection of W. Broad and N. Washington and, the biggest of them all, the 10-acre portion of the 36-acre George Mason High School and Henderson Middle School site, the development policy for which is now under deliberation.

So far the Citys new developments have all been seven stories or less, although there is a push to allow up to 10 stories, or even more, at the campus site, pending a rezoning and subsequent establishment of an overlay district.

With buildings recently completed and under construction in nearby Tysons Corner topping 35 stories, the plans for Falls Church remain relatively modest. In referenda since this latest construction trend began, Falls Church citizens have repeatedly rejected attempts to rein in mixed-use development in the Citys thin commercially-zoned corridors (mostly limited to Broad and Washington Streets).

In the proposed November school bond referendum, the issue will come down to the net cost of the new school to taxpayers, and the promise of a robust development of the 10 acres of the school site for mixed use, including its sale (in the form most likely of a long-term ground lease) for $40 million or more, will be seen as an important, even game-changing. mitigating factor.

In the Citys latest mixed use impact report, it is shown that with the exception of one of the projects Pearson Square on S. Maple net revenue yields to the City would be significantly higher than they are.

Pearson Square was originally approved as a 230-unit condominium development but as its construction was underway in 2006, the condo market in the region tanked (it has still not fully recovered). The City approved a request to convert the condos to rental units in 2007 just as the Great Recession was hitting.

(Another victim of the Recession in that period was the ambitious City Center development project with a value of $315 million that reconfigured a good section of the blocks in the immediate S. Washington and W. Broad area. It involved moving the bowling alley, a hotel and more, and had won all the necessary approvals from the City government, but when the recession suddenly dried up access to development funding, it died a swift and unholy death.)

In the case of Pearson Square, however, the larger residential units originally designed as condos in the project turned rentals made it a magnet for families with school aged children, eager to take advantage of the stellar reputation of the Falls Church schools.

Of the eight projects completed since 2003 The Broadway, the Byron, Pearson Square, the Read Building, the Spectrum, Northgate, 301 W. Broad and the Lincoln at Tinner Hill Pearson Square accounts for 56 percent of all the school-aged children the projects have enrolled in City schools. Thus, while originally projected to yield a net $684,196 annually to the Citys tax coffers, it has turned to become the only negative yield project of the eight, costing the City $428,329 a year.

But this is an anomaly compared to the robust net yields of all the other projects, and that also extends to the new ones still on the drawing boards, as they are all designed with smaller rental apartments aimed at attracting a combination of a younger (singles and couples with very young children not yet of school age) demographic and over 55 active seniors.

So far, according to the report, the student population in the newest units, the 301 W. Broad and Lincoln at Tinner Hill, is trending below the modelled low pupil coefficients per housing unit.

Meanwhile, in addition to the net positive tax impact of these projects, their developers have provided the City with considerable concessions, including a total of $7,036,403 in contributions to the schools and 69 affordable dwelling units.

It is also pointed out that the population growth in the Little City associated with these projects also contributes to the Citys tax revenue base by providing local retailers and service businesses with more customers, needed to make these businesses survive and prosper.

The new Mixed Use Development Fiscal Impact Report was slated to be posted to the Citys website this week, according to reports.

New Report Cites Robust Fiscal Gains of Mixed Use - Falls Church News Press

CINCINNATI -- When a Fairfield mother of four was deported to Mexico in April, one of her biggest advocates was the Catholic Church.

In the end, the church couldn't stop Maribel Trujillo Diaz's deportation -- but that doesn't mean Tri-State churches have given up the fight, one they say is rooted in compassion.

We have a biblical command to advocate for the immigrant and stranger in our midst, said David Meredith, pastor of Clifton United Methodist Church.

Meredith is part of the newly-formedCincinnati Sanctuary Congregation Coalition. The coalition is made upof more than 20 area congregations of Christian, Jewish and Muslim traditions and aims to help undocumented immigrants find sanctuary in Cincinnati.

We are called by Christ and Moses to be advocates for the widows, strangers, poor and vulnerable," Meredith said. "If we didnt address this issue, we would be allowing children to become orphans and women to become widows.

The coalition is forming a plan to also help the broader immigrant community that is living in fear under the current escalated crackdown on finding and deporting undocumented residents. Even recent immigrants who earned United States citizenship are frightened, say some advocates.

The coalitionincludes Temple Shalom, Clifton Mosque, St. Johns Unitarian Church, Mt. Auburn Baptist Church, Quakers and several other Christian denominations. They've started pooling resources and hope to provide immigrants with furniture, appliances, food, clothing and other services.

Clifton United Methodist Church is investing more than $15,000 in construction cost alone to convert a section of the basement into an apartment large enough for a family of four or more who has a family member at risk of deportation due to his or her legal status in the country. The apartment is expected to be ready for its first occupants in September, Meredith said.

"God does not view us by our nationality or race. We are all the same in his eyes," Meredith said. This is no different than the church housing a refugee."

There is no law preventing the government from entering a church that claims sanctuary for an individual or family, but traditionally officials will not enter a church.

WCPO Insiders can find out why a church would make public the fact that it's housing immigrants and what attorneys say about this group.

An elaborate Medina sandstone church on Delaware Avenue that has housed the same Baptist congregation since it was built in 1894 is for sale for$895,000.

But not because the congregation is shrinking.

Unlike other churches that have sold property, the congregation of Delaware Avenue Baptist Church is growing, with more than 250 people. That's still not enough, however, to justify the upkeep of such a large building, andthe physical layout of the 27,831-square-foot church is not conducive to meet their needs, said the Rev. Michael J. Robinson, the pastor.

The property slightly more than a half acre also lacks enough parking to support the congregation's growth.

"It's a heavy lift, when you get into the upkeep, the utilities, the insurance. It's a lot of waste," Robinson said."We don't even use all of the space, because we don't have those types of numbers of people. So instead of paying for a building that we only use half the square footage, let's get something more energy efficient and with greater parking potential for us."

Robinson said the church used to own much more land behind the Delaware Avenue church, but the construction and later sale of Baptist Manor decades ago took that away.

"It kind of killed our prospect of growing beyond 250 or 300 people," he said. "We don't have parking space."

The building, at 965 Delaware Ave. near Bryant Street, requires "some significant repairs that have to be done," said Hunt Commercial Real Estate broker Steve Fitzmaurice, who listed the property along with Clarke Thrasher.

Designed by architect and church member John H. Coxhead in the Richardsonian Romanesque style, the church features a stained-glass dome atop a 6,500-square-foot vaulted sanctuary with mosaic-tile detailing inside and twin steepled towers on either side of its peaked stone-arch entry.

"It's just a wonderful facility," said Paul McDonnell, chairman of the city's Preservation Board."We're sad that the congregation feels the church is beyond their long-term financial wherewithal. It's really a very special building."

But "even though they think they won't be able to stay there long-term, they are concerned about leaving the building in good shape for the next owner," McDonnell added.

The historic structure is already the subject of a preservation effort. The Delaware Avenue Restoration Corp., a nonprofit formed by and affiliated with the church, is trying to raise $300,000 to $500,000 to fix the building and ensure its long-term survival. The group is working with HHL Architects and plans to make selective repairs along the way.

Its first target is the leaky roof, much of which is original to the building.

"It's well over 100 years old now, and there are places where it's deteriorated to the point where it needs replacing," said McDonnell, who is a member of the Restoration Corp. board.

The nonprofit has secured a $75,000 matching challenge grant from the New York Landmarks Conservancy's Sacred Sites program. But that's restricted to places of worship, McDonnell noted, so if the building were acquired by a developer and converted to apartments, condominiums or anything else, it would no longer be eligible for the grant. "That could be an issue that would have to be explored," he said.

McDonnell noted that any redevelopment that relies on historic tax credits would be prevented from altering the sanctuary, which is "the defining element." But there are plenty of other opportunities in the rest of the facility, he said.

Already considered a local landmark, the church is located in the Linwood Avenue Historic Preservation District, just north of the Delaware Avenue Historic District, and it was recently recommended by the governor for inclusion on the state and federal Registers of Historic Places. Such a designation would mean renovation or redevelopment may also qualify for state and federal historic tax credits of up to 40 percent of the cost.

Meanwhile, Robinson said the church has started looking for a new and smaller location in the city, ideally within a mile of Delaware Avenue so it can keep a name that "has significance and history."

The building includes three floors of meeting, classroom and office space, including a 700-square-foot kitchen, a library, a fellowship hall and a lounge. The sanctuary includes extensive lower-level seating in old wood pews, as well as a vast balcony with an organ.

"We don't need 30,000 square feet of space. We're not looking to have a mega-church. Half of that has proved to be adequate," he said. "We'rejust looking for a building of that size, so that we're not paying for more than we're using."

Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are buildings dedicated to be a House of the Lord, and they are considered by church members to be the most sacred structures on earth. Upon completion, temples are usually open to the public for a short period of time (an "Open House"). During the Open House, the church conducts tours of the temple with missionaries and members from the local area serving as tour guides, and all rooms of the temple are open to the public. The temple is then dedicated as a "House of the Lord," after which only members in good standing are permitted entrance; temples are not churches but are places of worship. There are 154 operating temples (which includes 3 previously dedicated, but closed for renovation), 12 under construction, and 11 announced (not yet under construction).

In 1832, shortly after the formation of the church, Joseph Smith said that the Lord desired the saints build a temple;[1] and they completed the Kirtland Temple in 1836. Initially, the church constructed temples in areas where there were large concentrations of members: Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Hawaii (all in the USA), and Alberta (Canada). In the mid 20th century, because of the importance of temples in the theology, the church tried to balance density with the travel requirements attending the temple imposed upon members. Thus, temples were built in Europe (namely, Switzerland dedicated in 1955 and England dedicated in 1958); the Pacific Islands (namely, New Zealand dedicated in 1958); and Washington, D.C.(dedicated in 1974, the first American temple East of Utah since Nauvoo in 1846). All were dedicated at a time when membership in the region alone might not have justified the effort.

In the 1980s, Spencer W. Kimball directed the church to build smaller temples with similar designs[2] allowing temples to be built where there were fewer members. As a result, the first temples in South America (Brazil dedicated in 1978); Asia (Japan dedicated in 1980); and Central America (Mexico City dedicated in 1983) were built and the number of temples doubled from 15 to 36.

Church president Gordon B. Hinckley (19102008) also accelerated the construction of temples through the use of an even smaller standardized base design.[3] In 1998, when there were 51 temples, Hinckley set a goal to have 100 temples in place before the end of 2000.[4] Between the brief building period from 1998 to 2001, 38 of these standardized temples were constructed and dedicated, meeting Hinckley's goal by having 102 dedicated temples before 2000 closed. During Hinckley's service as president, the number of temples more than doubled from 47 to 124.[5]

Note: Numbering of temples announced or under construction is tentative (which is indicated by placing the numbers in italics) and based upon the groundbreaking date, or the date of announcement if no groundbreaking has taken place. Permanent numbering may change depending upon the date of dedication.

The following is a list of temples that had been announced and in some stage of development, but whose construction is no longer being pursued.
