The Orange County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to approve the rezoning of a 3.2-acre field near the Unionville intersection of Routes 522 and 20, from agricultural to commercial, at its Jan. 13 meeting.

This action allows JR Lex, LLC to build a Dollar General store in the area designated for village land use in the countys comprehensive plan.

The comprehensive plan states the village land uses purpose as, Retain small village and community living

and identity, with local services for convenience, and the definition as, Concentration of residential development with adjacent areas of commercial services for residents

and businesses near primary intersections.

The property, which is currently owned by the Orange Church of the Nazarene, lies on the left side of Rt. 20, heading east, just past the intersection with 522 and the west entrance of Narrow Gauge Road.

The property was donated to the congregation for the construction of a new church, but plans fell through and the church constructed a picnic shelter on the plot.

Josh Frederick, senior planner/acting planning and zoning director, spoke to the board on the latest proffers offered by the applicant. Frederick said transportation was one main concern of the planning commission when it recommended denying the rezoning request with a 3-1 vote in September.

He said a recently submitted proffer offers to install a left-hand turn lane, and he felt that proffer satisfies the planning commissions concerns.

Frederick said community members were concerned about truck traffic on Narrow Gauge Road, which runs behind the property. One of the proffers promises there will be no access from Narrow Gauge Road.

Thanks For Visiting!

Rick McClain Photography - Utah commercial photographers specializing in innovative product photography, architectural photography, and industrial photography using traditional photographic methods, TOTALLY DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY, and digital manipulation. We are full service photographers in Salt Lake City, Utah, using 8" X 10", 4" X 5", 6 X 7 cm, 4.5 X 6 cm, and 35 mm formats to capture our images.

OUR DIGITAL CAMERA is a high resolution Single Lens Reflex, that captures an image large enough to be reproduced at 150 lines per inch up to and including standard magazine covers and virtually limitless continuous tone prints. (We've printed up to 60 inches wide and they still look sharp as a tack. Absolutely incredible.) We use a wide range of interchangeable lenses, from very wide angle to telephoto on this camera; not limiting the creativity of our images. Nor are we tied to the studio with this camera. It can be used tethered to a computer in the studio or untethered, capturing 18mb files even in the field. Since it captures its files in one single exposure at any shutterspeed we wish to use, it is perfect for capturing portraits or moving objects, even sports, as well as still lifes in the studio or on location with our full range of lighting equipment.

We welcome you to our site and hope you will enjoy our images. We've kept our pages simple to make them download quickly for you and would certainly like to hear from you about our site, good or bad. Each page has an E-Mail link directly to us.

Our images are used by a truly wide gamut of businesses including Advertising Agencies, Graphic Designers, Art Directors, Architects, Contractors, Manufacturers large and small, Interior Designers, etc. Images we create grace the covers and pages of brochures, catalogs, annual reports, newspapers, magazines (editorially and advertising), billboards, coffee table picture books, and calendars. They are also used for the backgrounds of several television news sets, on buses, as hang tags, trade show displays, .....and again the list goes on and on.

In the last couple of years, we have, of course, satisfied many requests for images for the World Wide Web. We can photograph your products and deliver them to you on disk or send them directly to you via the InterNet itself.

Rick has been taking photographs for a living for over twenty seven years now and still enjoys the challenge that each new assignment brings; although sometimes the hardest part of the job is convincing the client that taking a simple "snapshot" isn't going to sell the product. Dramatic photographs produce dramatic results.

Our experience in traditional photography and our creative digital artistry work for you to produce images that are sure to show off your products, services, and ideas to their utmost. Our images are designed to grab your clients' attention and hold it.

We work with a sensitivity for clients' needs and direction, are easy to work with, have reasonable rates, and create wonderfully eye catching images, too!

Let our careful lighting, attention to detail, photographic creativity, and digital prowess work for you to show off products, ideas, and services for or to your clientele.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Ever so incrementally, the architectural and commercial fabric of Stapleton is morphing to upscale hip.

One of the first manifestations was theclassy makeover of 103 Water St. in 2011, with the opening of Oznico, the name-brand fashion store steps away from

Staten Island University Hospital's storefront methadone clinic. (Renovated 103 Water was the long-time location of a Woolworth five-and-dime store, when Stapleton was a thriving center for shopping in the 1940s and '50s, as some long-time Islanders may recall.)

Directly across Tappen Park, a stunning addition to the historic Stapleton public library -- which opened its doors to neighborhood residents in 1907 -- lends a touch of distinctive modern class to Wright Street.

Elsewhere in the neighborhood, an ambitiously bold addition is the Staten Island Artists Building, a retrofitted factory at 73 Wave St.

With a debut in 2013, the building offers rental studio space to artists, photographers, and others engaged in creative endeavors.

And historic mixed-use commercial/residential buildings on Bay Street have been renovated with colorful facades.

Closer to Stapleton's waterfront is popular 5050 Skatepark, opened in 2012 as the realized dream of Islanders Ed Pollio and Angelica Popolano.

And not to be overlooked is Dinora's Market at 198 Canal St., the family-owned business thriving in the neighborhood since the 1980s.

This sleek, European-style food emporium attracts customers from all over the Island in search of imported food from the Balkans, with offerings from fresh feta and other cheeses to spicy sausages hand-made at the butcher counter.
