Lou Pektor, the developer behind historic renovations including the Main Street Commons building and Union Station, got a stamp of approval by planners Thursday to bring a Mexican brewpub and restaurant to an empty parking lot in south Bethlehem.

The Planning Commission voted 4-0 to approve the land development plans for a 2 1/2-story building at the southeast corner of East Third and Polk streets, with the intent to house Cerveza, the brewpub, and Agave, a fine-dining restaurant.

The restaurant and brewpub will have 380 seats inside and on the rooftop. There also will be outside seating, a feature added over the last two months when the developer decided to move the building back 10 feet.

Pektor has said he hopes to open both restaurants by the end of this year. That hinges on whether the $6.7 million project at 404 E. Third St., can tap into the tax incentives offered in the City Revitalization and Improvement Zone.

The lot is outside of the zone's border, though the city authority overseeing the CRIZ in October approved the project as "qualified" to take advantage of zone tax benefits.

A formal application to change the boundary is needed, but city officials have said they are awaiting direction from the state on how to go about submitting the boundary changes for state approval.

The CRIZ covers 130 acres in Bethlehem, including large portions of former Bethlehem Steel land, and allows developers to use certain state and local taxes to offset construction costs.

Pektor said the tax incentive is crucial to financing the project.

"We can't make it work without it," he said.

He said the delay is not going to affect the interest of the restaurateurs, who have a similar operation in Seattle. It would be their first East Coast location, he said.

The worst film director on the planet has high hopes of opening the best restaurant in Vancouver, something he swears is not a publicity stunt.

Bauhaus, a modern German restaurant set to launch in Gastown this spring, is the brainchild of Uwe Boll, who once challenged and knocked out five of his most outspoken critics in a highly publicized boxing match.

With characteristic chutzpah, the one-man Blitzkrieg of Bad, whose blood-soaked, B-grade video-game adaptations garnered him a rare Worst Career Achievement award from the Razzies (a qualitative counterpart to the Oscars), has recruited A-list lieutenants for his fine-dining project.

Stefan Hartmann, former owner of the one-Michelin-starred Hartmanns Restaurant in Berlin, is executive chef. General manager Tim Adams comes with sterling pedigree from Londons CH & Co., a contract catering group that serves the British Royal Households.

Vancouver is, uh, different from what Ive done in the past, Mr. Adams says diplomatically. In his most recent position as general manager of Kensington Palace, he once kept an office in the apartments now occupied by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Touring the site at 1 West Cordova St. (previously home to the original Boneta), the trio was decidedly upbeat, almost giddy.

It wont be fancy-pantsy, said Mr. Boll, climbing over a stack of wood flats as a construction worker behind him put his boots to bending a long steel rod. Like the food, it will be clean and classic with a lot of straight lines. Vancouver designer Andrea Greenway is giving the heritage building a Mid-Century modern makeover in wood, marble and brick.

Bauhaus, however, will be very expensive: A three-course la carte dinner will be about $80 to $100 a person, the seven-course chefs menu even pricier. Prestigious wines on the Enomatic preservation dispenser could run up to $50 a glass.

As Mr. Hartmann correctly points out, the proposed prices are still great value when compared to Europe. But the question remains: Is Vancouver ready to pay top dollar for eisbein (pickled ham hock)?

There are a lot of Ferraris and Lamborghinis in Vancouver, Mr. Boll said, shrugging. People have money here. When I talk to business people, they all go to the same few places. We want to be part of that mix. Were not competing with anyone. Were offering something different.

Low-budget gore film director set to launch high-end Vancouver restaurant

DECATUR Long-awaited renovations to the Beach House restaurant are slated for completion by early summer.

Restaurant owner Todd Mason said the project is targeted to wrap up by June 1, but Decatur Park District Executive Director Bill Clevenger cautioned that the progress will be very weather dependent.

The project will focus on the restaurant's exterior, including the foundation and aging deck, and will add ramps that are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Mason said the public could expect to see an outdoor dining and bar area with space for entertainment.

In the big picture, the most exciting thing is that this is just one step towards the greater redevelopment of the entire lakefront, Mason said. The forward movement of this entire plan is so important to this community.

The park district's board of commissioners awarded a $760,000 contract for the work to CAD Construction in October 2013, with the understanding that Mason, the park district and the city of Decatur would split the cost of the work.

However, the end of 2013 was a rough time for the city's finances, with then-City Manager Ryan McCrady forced to eliminate 20 positions by the beginning of 2014 to balance the budget.

Ultimately, the Decatur City Council did not vote to contribute to the project until December of the following year. Officials specified that the city's portion of the money would pay for accessibility needs and improvements to the public area on the lower level.

The park district owns the Great Depression-era building that houses the restaurant. Mason owns the business.

Construction is expected to be staged in such a way that the restaurant will remain open throughout, Mason said.

Clevenger said the park district also plans to spend roughly $50,000 this year to renovate the Beach House restrooms, which also serve as public restrooms for lakefront users. That project is separate from the renovations to the exterior, he said.

For much of its 74 years, when it operated as Carmen's Restaurant, the building at 2427 Buffalo Road seemed to be stuck in time.

Carmen's was known for its homemade pastas and lasagna, created from recipes its only owners, the Pacinelli family, never wrote down.

The restaurant's sunken dining room, decorated with white miniature lights hung on white lattice, featured a dcor reminiscent of Frank Sinatra in his Rat Pack heyday.

Three years after Carmen's closed, the future has caught up with its former home.

A local businessman, Aaron Jarmolowicz, is renovating the 4,191-square-foot building, which was erected in 1920. He bought it for $34,835, including about $3,800 in fees, at a judicial tax sale in December 2013.

Since he got the deed to the property in March, Jarmolowicz has spent about $200,000 to have contractors and his architect, Tom Gross, design and install a new facade -- sleek, and featuring lots of stone -- and gut the interior.

Jarmolowicz, 40, recently advertised the building for lease. He said he will complete the renovations based on what any tenant wants -- an office building, perhaps, or maybe a restaurant; Jarmolowicz has kept the kitchen intact for the latter possibility.

"We are just waiting on a tenant," Jarmolowicz said. "They could have a million things they want to do."

The remaking of Carmen's is one of 2,892 projects for which the city of Erie issued building-related permits in 2014. The figure includes permits for new houses (three), plumbing (243), electrical work (1,048), and permits for additions and alterations to residential buildings (215) and nonresidential buildings, such as Carmen's (109).

The estimated value of all the work itemized in the permits is $97.6 million, according to the city's Bureau of Code Enforcement, up from $63.9 million in 2013, when the city issued 2,819 building-related permits. The figures were $108.2 million and 3,268 permits in 2012, and $70 million and 3,890 permits in 2011.

Officials say a restaurant will move into the former Cafe De Paris space at the corner of Capitol and Quarrier Streets in Charleston.

There is still no physical indication or word from the business or building owner as to what is moving into the former Cafe de Paris space located at 201 Capitol Street, but the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department confirmed Tuesday a business started the paperwork to operate a restaurant there.

Matt Ballard, Charleston Area Alliance president and CEO, whose organization has been working for several months now with that business, said the restaurant moving into the space is not a Steak Escape, despite rumors circulating around town.

Its not a national chain, Ballard said. Its West Virginia-based.

Building owner John Smallridge is in the restaurant industry himself, and has previously franchised Steak Escape restaurants.

Smallridge could not be reach for comment.

The business applied for the Alliances facade design grant, Ballard told the Gazette in December. He added the new business addition would complement the existing businesses around it.

At Smallridges request, David Winowich, with KCHD, would not disclose the name of the business. The paperwork hasnt officially been filed with the health department yet.

Hayes Brothers Construction spent a week in mid-December removing the main floor and some fixtures from the former French restaurant.

Two companies negligently installed a brick oven in a restaurant in Market Square, causing a fire that resulted in more than $500,000 worth of damage to two buildings, a Boston-based insurance company claims in a federal lawsuit filed Monday.

Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Co. is seeking to recover the $509,429.31 it paid the buildings' owner on a damage claim from the fire Feb. 24.

The insurer claims that PBI Construction Co. LLC and Quality Mechanical Services Inc. are responsible for the fire in NOLA restaurant that damaged Perl, an adjacent restaurant.

PBI Construction of Richland declined comment.

Nick Birkos, vice president of Quality Mechanical Services in Penn Hills, said the company reviewed a preliminary copy of the lawsuit and prepared a response denying it was responsible for the fire. There's no proof that we had anything to do with it, he said.

Though the brick oven was installed in the same spot as a previous oven, its hood wasn't aligned with the exhaust flue in the ceiling, so the companies used various elbows and angles to connect the new oven exhaust ductwork to the existing ductwork and flue, the lawsuit says.

The companies failed to take into account that the ductwork ran near combustible material in the ceiling, the lawsuit says.

Birkos said his company didn't install ductwork.

It only welded a connection from the new oven's hood to the duct system, he said.

Pittsburgh inspectors cited the restaurant for failing to obtain a permit which would have included plans signed by a registered designer to install the oven. The restaurant corrected the violations, a city spokesman said.
