    CTV site to be beautified in time for anniversary - December 23, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Published: 3:18PM Monday December 23, 2013 Source: ONE News

    Wire fences surrounding Christchurch's CTV site will be pulled down next month to make way for grass and planter boxes.

    The site, where 115 people died in the February 2011 earthquake, will eventually become part of the city's new Eastern Frame.

    But in the meantime, changes will be made to the site to make it a more "welcoming environment" for remembrance.

    The Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA) plans to plant grass on some of the site, replace high fencing, and add planter boxes to the perimeter.

    Maan Alkaisi, whose wife Dr Maysoon Abbas died when the building collapsed, said he had spent many hours at the site.

    "I lost my best friend, my wife, the person I love so of course it's going to be a very special place always."

    The victims' families have worked to keep the area tidy but aside from a few signs and decorations, the site is bare.

    Christchurch Mayor Lianne Dalziel said she was pleased to hear the site would be beautified.

    "I remember looking at the site and thinking this isn't right," she said.

    Deer vs. traffic: 22 miles of fences on I-280 proposed - December 20, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    A 22-mile stretch of fences along both sides of Interstate 280 in San Mateo County would prevent dangerous and costly collisions between deer and cars, a UC-Davis study concludes.

    The two-year, $322,415 study was funded by the California Department of Transportation and conducted by the University of California Davis Road Ecology Center.

    Every year about 40 to 50 deer are hit by vehicles on Interstate 280, said Fraser Shilling, the center's co-director and author of the study. The section of highway between Millbrae and Woodside has more animal accidents than others because of its proximity to the county's open spaces, including Crystal Springs Reservoir.

    "You've got some significant wildlife habitat right next to where people are driving 70 to 80 miles per hour," Shilling said Tuesday.

    In September 2011, a few months before the study was launched, 27-year-old Santa Clara University assistant professor Daniel Strickland died after he hit a deer, stopped his car and was slammed into by another vehicle.

    Even when drivers manage to avoid hitting deer and other animals that cross the highway, they're put in a perilous situation by having to swerve in traffic, Shilling said.

    Caltrans is reviewing the recommendations in the UC-Davis study and has not "formally endorsed or rejected any of the proposals," Bob Haus, a department spokesman, wrote in an email Tuesday.

    A deer fence should be about 8 feet tall to be effective, according to the study. It would cost about $100,000 per mile to construct, for a total of about $4 million, Shilling said. The cost could be lowered if some existing fences are heightened.

    Although highway undercrossings can provide safe passage to deer and other wildlife, they need to be as free from humans as possible. And fences still would be needed nearby to prevent animals from accessing the road, the report states.

    Towamencin approves ordinance allowing floodplain fencing - December 19, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Towamencin Townships board of supervisors heard from residents on a couple of issues at the Dec. 11 work session. One item on the agenda was a public hearing regarding an amendment to the zoning code. Previously, homeowners were not permitted to build fences on the floodplain, though many residents had asked for permission to do so. One resident even went ahead and built fencing without permission from the township, said Code Enforcement Officer Bill Webb.

    This was one of the first things we discussed when I came to the township, Webb said.

    After researching what other municipalities in the region and even around the country did in regard to floodplain fencing, the township decided to allow certain types of fencing to be built.

    A lot of townships do allow fencing within the floodplain, with various precautions, Webb said.

    Now, fences may be placed within the fringe of the floodway, which Webb defined as the slowest moving part of the floodplain. They may be post and rail fences or split rail fences, though solid wall fences and chain link fences are not permitted.

    These types of fencing could cause a damming effect and could cause water to back up, Webb said.

    Property owners who are going to add fences within the floodplain are required to sign a document stating that if their fences cause any damages to neighboring properties during a flood, they are liable for those damages. Additionally, if a fence is damaged during a flood, the homeowner would have 10 days to remove the fence.

    One resident who wishes to build a fence on her property asked if her fence was damaged in a flood, would she be required to remove the fence completely, or could she simply repair it? The board answered that the fence could either be replaced or repaired, as long as it was done within 10 days.

    The same resident wanted to know if homeowners who already had fences on their properties would be equally responsible for any damage caused to other properties in the event of a flood.

    What if pre-existing structures damages any part of my property? she asked. What kind of recourse do I have in that regard? Continued...

    Study calls for 22-mile stretch of fences on I-280 to prevent deer crashes - December 18, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    The study identified three main wildlife-vehicle collision hot spots -- a mile stretch between Hillcrest Boulevard and one mile south of Trousdale Drive, the Bunker Hill Drive crossing, and a half-mile span north of Farm Hill Boulevard.
