SEVEN personnel from the Davao City Demolition Unit (CDU) have been recommended for termination for stealing confiscated items during demolition operations.

In a phone interview, CDU chief retired colonel Yusop Jimlani said these personnel were proven to have stolen items from their demolition of shoe stalls, violators of one-third two-third policy last month.

"I have already submitted the recommendation for termination at the Human Resource Management Office and it is for the approval of the City Mayor," he said.

"This is to show that we do not favor anybody from our personnel," Jimlani added.

Meanwhile, for their Bankerohan demolition operations, which started last February 20, Jimlani said they have already conducted five big demolition operations wherein they are set to conduct another one today.

According to him, they have cleared around 80 percent of the violators of the one-third-two-third policy in the area together with the Traffic Management Center.

"We will be doing this small and big demolition non-stop until the area will be cleared from violators but so far we can see improvements on them," Jimlani said.

Meanwhile, 50 personnel of the CDU also participated in a demolition and security practice on Wednesday at Magsaysay Park.

Jimlani said the activity aimed to teach their personnel on how to handle vendors during demolition operations in order to avoid hurting them and also themselves.

7 CDU workers axed for stealing

Contractors have nearly finished removing asbestos from the contaminated Carter Carburetor factory in North St. Louis, and demolition of the 480,000-square-foot building should begin by the summer.

Once a booming factory that employed 3,000 people, the four-story structure next to the site of the old Sportsmans Park, has been vacant for more than 30 years. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is overseeing demolition and cleanup of the site at North Grand Boulevard and Dodier Street, which is contaminated with cancer-causing toxins left over from the carburetor manufacturing process.

Asbestos removal, the first step in the cleanup process, began last spring and is more than 85 percent complete, said EPA Region 7 spokesman Chris Whitley.

We think its reasonable to assume that the demolition and excavation could get underway this summer and be wrapped up by next spring, he said.

St. Charles-based ACF Industries LLC, a railcar component manufacturer that used to own Carter Carburetor, is responsible for much of the $27 million cleanup project.

Following the demolition, the companies will complete removal of carcinogenic polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, from the site. Also present are toxic solvents known as trichloroethylene, or TCE. If demolition is complete by spring 2016, cleanup of the chemicals could be finished by the fall of 2017, Whitley said.

Nobodys anticipating any big hurdles right now, he said. Weve been very pleased with the quality and execution of work theyve performed thus far and theres no indication thats going to change.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will hold a public meeting this evening to update nearby residents of the Jeff Vander-Lou neighborhood on the projects progress. The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday at the next-door Herbert Hoover Boys and Girls Club, 2901 North Grand Blvd.

Moving through a full committee agenda March 4, Lower Merion commissioners took action on a variety of matters, from demolition of two historic structures in Ardmore, to a plan to deal with some trash collections in winter weather, to a grant opportunity that could give a big boost to renovations at the Gladwyne Library.

Cricket Avenue demolition

Following up on an issue tabled last month, the board took final action to grant permission for demolition of the late 19th-century buildings at 47 and 55 Cricket Ave in the Ardmore Business Historic District, a part of the former Gillanes Tavern complex and the former Cardone Printing building respectively.

Located across from the townships Cricket Avenue Parking Lot, where construction is expected to begin soon on Dranoff Properties One Ardmore Place development, the combined lots have been offered by owner Brad Paul for lease for temporary public parking.

Despite concerns about erosion of the historic district, the Lower Merion Historical Architectural Review Board voted in February to recommend approval of demolition of the buildings, said to be in such a condition that they are not suitable for a business use. The board recommended conditions to guard against the space reverting to private parking. Development of a new mixed-use building, not to occur until after the Cricket Lot project is complete, is in early talks.

Commissioners in their turn tabled the matter, wanting to divide the questions of the appropriateness of demolition and a proposed lease of the site. Board President Liz Rogan also wanted to see something in writing before authorizing negotiation of a lease.

An outline of those details came in the form of a binding letter of agreement this week. It includes provisions for lease of the lot for $1 per year. The township is also being asked to reimburse the property owners for real estate taxes of $5,000 to $6,000 per year.

The property owner would be responsible for demolition, grading and site preparation. The township would pave the space, stripe it and install parking meters for about 40 spaces. In an analysis, total costs to the township would run between $30,000 and $36,000 in the first year, about the same amount recovered through parking meter revenues in 12 months.

The major issues this week involved structuring a lease to ensure that the property would continue to be used as public parking until the anticipated new mixed-use building goes to construction. That was accomplished in two ways: by setting a minimum term of two years for the lease with the option for extension, and by requiring the public parking use to continue until the owners pull building permits and begin construction on the site.
