COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS, UTAH (ABC 4 UTAH) - Demolition has begun on 8 homes at the corner of 2300 E and Bengal Boulevard paving the way for a new municipal complex in Cottonwood Heights.

The building will be a one-story, 38,000 square foot building with all of the amenities for a community.

The city spent just under 4 million dollars acquiring the 8 properties. It will have nearly 5 acres and more room to expand if they want to.

"It is just exciting to just take a building and see the power of one of the machines take that first step and take the building down so we can start construction in the spring," says Councilmen Mike Peterson of Cottonwood Heights.

The brand new municipal complex will be finished by 2016.

"We haven't had our own city hall, justice system and all that and I think it is great," said resident Sarah Aguiler.

"One of the reasons we are building this city hall is because under our current paradigm, we can't do much for citizens. I mean we basically have offices," said Mayor of Cottonwood Heights Kelvyn Cullimore.

For 10-years Cottonwood Heights has been renting office space in a building off Fort Union Blvd. The city's administration, city council and police all packed into 3 floors.

"When we are done we will have a facility that is nice, we can be proud of and it's paid for. It will last 50-60-70-years," Mayor Cullimore added.

Saving tax payers money while making things easy on them by having one convenient area.

As the town wrestles with ways to protect landmarked homes from demolition, a longtime preservationist urges caution.

Requiring a separate demolition request that halts all other work on a site could backfire, according to Palm Beach architect Gene Pandula, a former longtime chairman of the Landmarks Preservation Commission.

Town staff and the landmarks board are considering ways to better protect landmarked properties following the unauthorized partial demolition earlier this year of Vita Serena, the 1926 Palladian-style home at 105 Clarendon Ave. .

I dont think you want people to shy away from doing things precisely and correctly in favor of haste, Pandula said.

Planning, Zoning & Building Director John Page has asked the landmarks board to review suggestions he and his staff have created.

Their proposal would require:

* a separate demolition permit for projects in which demolition has been authorized.

* a demolition completion certificate. No additional permits could be approved before this certificate is completed. And no additional demolition would be allowed unless it is approved by the town in advance.

* a pre-construction meeting with the qualified contractor, architect, building official and others before the town issues a demolition permit.

* the presence of a resident inspector on the work site during demolition work. If the owner uses a private inspector, town building inspectors would visit the site daily during demolition work.

BRISTOL BOROUGH Demolition crews moved in this week to begin the process of tearing down the former Stocks Waterfront Caf building at Mill and Radcliffe Streets.

Crews began work on Monday and Tuesday, taking down the former dairy dock facing the Mill Street Parking Lot. The main building is expected to come down early next week.

The demolition work will make way for the construction of a new mixed use structure being developed by Joe Ventresca of JVS Properties of Morrestown, New Jersey.

The prime riverfront property, which had become a blight on the town, now holds the promise of rebirthand a significant economic shot in the arm for the town when its completed in about 18 months.

In June, Ventresca received final plan approval from borough council to redevelop the property at 4 Mill Street, the former site of the Stocks Waterfront Caf which closed a number of years ago..

According to Ventresca, the first floor of the new building will boast a 4,600 to 4,800 square foot restaurant/bar fronting on Mill Street and with a patio overlooking the Delaware River.

Extending two stories above the restaurant will be five stacked 2,000 square foot condominums two facing the river and three at an angle to the river.

In addition, five three story townhouses measuring about 2,400 square feet each would be built along the propertys southern edge facing the river.

In total, Ventresca is proposing to build between 28,000 to 30,000 square feet of space. The existing building measures about 14,000 square feet.

It is really, really sharp, he said of the proposed plan. It fits right. It feels right. Its a need, he said. Continued...
