WATERVLIET A lawsuit filed to stop demolition of St. Patrick's Church comes as the city has issued three permits to raze the church, its rectory and school to make way for a supermarket.
Citizens for St. Patrick's and 20 residents filed a lawsuit Thursday against the City Council claiming it violated city and state laws to rezone the 3-acre church property at 515 19th St. to allow development.
"We are going to stick with this until we have exhausted every effort to preserve St. Patrick's and see the block developed in a way that benefits the community," Christine Bulmer, a spokeswoman for Citizens for St. Patrick's, plaintiff in the case.
The grass-roots organization also has filed a notice of appeal to overturn a judge's Dec. 31 decision to allow the sale of the church property for $1 million.
The lawsuit contends the City Council failed to comply with the city zoning code, the state Environmental Quality Review Act, the state Open Meetings Law and general municipal law when it rezoned the property. The legal papers also claim the council undertook spot zoning when the historic church site was rezoned.
The lawsuit, filed last week, asks state Supreme Court in Albany County to stop any demolition or development at the church site, revoke the rezoning and void the City Council's declaration of negative environmental significance for the property.
Nigro Companies has proposed building a 40,200-square-foot Price Chopper supermarket and two smaller commercial buildings. The City Council voted unanimously in November to approve the rezoning to business from residential that was needed for the project to move ahead.
The two-pronged legal attack did not faze city officials.
"We knew it was coming," Mayor Michael Manning said Monday. "We just got it. Our legal team is looking at it."
City Building Inspector Mark Gilchrist said he issued demolition permits good for six months to demolish the church, rectory and school. He said he did not issue the permits for the three residential duplexes as he did not have documentary evidence that Nigro Companies owns the private residences, which are the northern boundary of the parcel along 23rd Street.

Suit filed over demolition
BUFFALO, N.Y. - A lonely spot on Buffalo's east side is about to be disrupted by demolition.
The site sits on a plot of land at Best and East North Streets, right by City Honors High School. Human remains have been found there before and now there's question about how possible future remains would be handled, with the demolition approaching.
The fact that the Woodson Gardens Apartment complex is still standing could be dangerous. Windows are dilapidated and wood panels look like they've been chewed off.
The Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority owns the restricted property and is getting ready to take it down this spring.
"We want to do what's in the best interest of the community as a whole and right now, the first thing that we need to do is focus on abatement and demolition," said Dawn Sanders-Garrett, the executive director of BMHA.
A contractor has been selected to demolish the 14 filthy buildings there. Crews will have to make sure all utilities are cut inside, clean up the area and fill in foundations. During this process it's possible human remains will be found.
The chances of finding bones under the muddy ground are good. In June 2008, about 125 pieces of human remains were found when City Honors, which is across the street, was renovating.
"There were really no records kept, who was buried here, we don't have any site maps," said archaeologist Doug Mooney at the time.
In Dec. 2007, a team of archeologists found remains of three adults and a child 10 feet under the front lawn at the school.
"I think anyone going in there with foreknowledge will be particularly, I think careful and observant, one would hope so," said Tim Tielman of the Campaign for Greater Buffalo, "If an operator sees something or a supervisor sees something in the ground, they [should] be very sensitive."

Human Remains Likely Under Demolition Site
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- The Palm Beach Mall, an iconic staple in the West Palm Beach community for nearly five decades, will be torn down Thursday morning.
The plan is to build up the patch of land with shops and stores with hopes of attracting local and tourist dollars.
The demolition will take two and a half months to complete.Once done, the property will consist of flat sand on which the new construction of a fashion center will begin.JCPenny will remain on the property.
In an effort to be environmentally friendly, the waste, which is 3,500 tons of metal, will be recycled. The rest of the scrap will be taken to a landfill.
City officials hope the new fashion center will attract more new developments to the area like the proposed upscale rental community developers plan to put on Palm Beach Lakes and Congress.
Mayor Jeri Muoio said the project will also bring more than 4,000 jobs to the area, which will result in $82 million in wages and an estimated $300 million in economic activity.
"We're talking about, sort of, all four corners of that area being further developed and we'll see a whole different economic energy in that area," said Mayor Muoio.
The city has also put out an invitation for bids from sub contractors to help construct 10 retail buildings encompassing approximately 460,000 square feet on the site. EMJ Corporation is the general contractor on the project.
Bids are due to the city no later than Feb. 1 at 2 p.m.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AFP) - FIFA on Wednesday denied reports that it was seeking the demolition of Rio's former Indian Museum located next to the iconic Maracana stadium, the venue for the final of the 2014 World Cup final.
The demolition is at the center of a months-long legal tussle, with authorities saying they will raze the abandoned colonial-style building within 30 days at the request of football's world governing body as part of an urban renewal program.
But the agency in charge of protecting the city's cultural heritage and the Rio's prosecutor's office are opposed.
"FIFA has always supported efforts by the Brazilian government to facilitate access to the 2014 World Cup matches for the indigenous people and in this context we want to make it clear that FIFA has never called for the demolition of Rio's Indian Museum," its press office said.
"Neither FIFA nor the (World Cup's) Local Organizing Committee own or build the stadiums. The owners decide what is best for the region, the teams, the communities," the body said in a written statement.
A spokeswoman for the state of Rio queried by AFP said FIFA was insisting on "the public and cars being able to quickly vacate the (Maracana) stadium and its surrounding area" and noted that "the demolition (of the museum building) would be the solution".
"It is part of all the urban renewal works needed to meet FIFA demands. But FIFA is not demanding that the museum (building) itself be razed," she added.
The Maracana sport complex is getting a thorough facelift for the World Cup and the 2016 summer Olympics.
The building slated for demolition housed the first Indian Museum from 1953 until 1977 when it was transferred to the Botafogo district.
The empty edifice is now owned by the agriculture ministry.

The demolition of a block of flats regarded as an eyesore by residents of a Berkshire town has begun.
Wentworth Avenue tower block in Slough is to make way for a new housing development.
The demolition is part of the wider regeneration of the Britwell area of the town.
The Homes and Communities Agency has invested 800,000 in the regeneration which will include new homes and shops for the area.
John Rice, assistant director of regeneration and estates at Slough Borough Council, is looking forward to a new look for the town.
He said: "One of the main aims of the Britwell Regeneration Project was to rid the area of the horrid tower block.
"For months now we have been moving former residents to new homes, building new properties in the area for tenants and now, everyone will be able to see the block coming down."
Countryside Properties will be constructing the new homes in Britwell.
A new building-demolition technique being used in Japan takes the phrase "inside job" to a whole new level -- literally. Controlled building destruction, especially of skyscrapers, often involves an implosion, which levels the building in a matter of seconds. But a new method of safely bringing down skyscrapers can best be seen in a new time-lapse video of the Grand Prince Hotel Akasaka, which stands more than 450 feet tall. "Razing a Skyscraper the Ecological Way" shows the hotel, which is located in Tokyo, shrinking before your eyes as workers take it apart from the inside.
Taisei Corporation, the company behind this new demolition process known as Taisei Ecological Reproduction System, or Tecorep, advertises the method as environmentally friendly because it reduces dust exposure by more than 90 percent. In addition, Tecorep cuts down on noise considerably.
How does Tecorep work? Temporary columns are set up indoors to hold up the roof of the existing building. Then jacks lower the columns as higher floors are disassembled. This action creates the effect of shrinking the building from the top down.
A commenter on YouTube wrote, "That's awesome. Everyone should be doing that instead of destroying resources with explosives." Another person, who says he once stayed at the Grand Prince Hotel Akasaka, said the hotel was cool in the '70s but was probably in much need of updating due to it not meeting current earthquake standards and not being contemporary. He adds, "Cool and iconic as it was, it would apparently simply have cost much more to fully restore it than to tear it down and replace with a new building."
As impressive and visually stimulating as it can be to watch the implosion of a skyscraper, it's even more impressive when companies come up with ways to save the environment while improving on building structures.
