CAPE ELIZABETH - A new, modern version of the Rudys of the Cape restaurant got mostly positive support from residents and the Cape Elizabeth Planning Board during a hearing on an updated site plan for the property Nov. 18.
But some residents, and one Planning Board member, continue to criticize the proposal. They say the new Rudys design is not compatible with other nearby buildings on Ocean House Road, better known as Route 77.
In a 5-1-1 vote, with Chairwoman Victoria Volent abstaining, the Planning Board approved several modifications to a previously approved site plan and resource protection permit for Rudys, including upgrades to lighting and curbing, the installation of raised planters, a generator, an entrance sign and more.
Because this was an amendment to a standing approval, they should be able to continue full throttle or at a speed the owner dictates on the project, while the plans are updated, Town Planner Maureen OMeara said after the meeting.
Part of the proposal, which is to use weathered steel siding on the lower portion of the building, has triggered mixed reviews from residents.
We have heard very different points of view from the public, said Planning Board member Elaine Falendar. Weve had as many emails in opposition as weve had speakers in support (of the project.)
While some residents say they love the one-and-a-half story, contemporary, cottage-style building that replaces the former Rudys diner and convenience store, others would prefer a design they say would blend in with Cape Elizabeths existing architecture.
I think if you look at it at the right angle, it looks like Darth Vaders helmet, resident Todd Colpitts said of the building. I do not think its compatible with the structures in the neighborhood.
Henry Steinberg, the only member who voted against the modified site plan, said Cape Elizabeth is a calm and relaxed community that projects an aura of tranquility.

Despite critics, Rudys plan passes muster
Each year thousands of individuals volunteer their time to support Raritan Valley Habitat for Humanitys efforts to build decent, affordable housing for needy families. These volunteers are the lifeline of Habitats program. To support Habitats mission, on Friday, November 14, Peapack-Gladstone Bank employees participated in a new build project in Lambertville, New Jersey. Here Bank volunteers rolled up their sleeves to assist a deserving family in becoming one step closer to home ownership. As a volunteer on Habitats build site, Bank employees were provided training and the opportunity to work in a variety of phases of construction, including the installation of interior insulation and vinyl siding to the exterior of the structure.
Working right alongside the prospective new homeowner, the enthusiasm and readiness of Bank volunteers to lend a helping hand brought a specially-selected family one step closer to completion and occupancy of their new home. For many hard-working families, affordable shelter is an unattainable goal. However, with the efforts of Habitat for Humanity, its mission and its volunteers, for many local families, the dream of home ownership has become a reality.
Volunteers are the heart and soul of Raritan Valley Habitat for Humanity. Peapack-Gladstone Bank is proud to be a part of their effort to provide decent, safe and affordable housing to those most in need.

YBOR CITY Construction on the Tampa Baseball Museum at the Al Lopez House has reached a major milestone. Recently, the house received a fresh coat of paint, which adds a touch of color and protects its wooden exterior. In addition, bricks will soon be added along the front ramp.
Before painting, custom siding designed to match the original siding was installed, along with new windows. Framing was added in anticipation of a new front entry, including a custom door, glass transom and other details, which will replicate the style of homes built in Ybor City in the early 1900s. The door, sidewalk pavers and landscaping are funded by the Davis Islands Garden Club.
Interior construction also is underway to allow for the installation of exhibits in the house at 2003 N. 19th St. The museum originally was to open in the spring but was delayed because of renovation issues. The opening date has not been announced.

AT&T has entered the legal fracas over whether court warrants are required for the government to obtain their customers' cell-site location history.
The telecom, while not siding one way or the other, said Monday the courts should adopt a uniform policy nationwide. As it now stands, there's conflicting appellate rulings on the matter. The Supreme Court has yet to decide the issue.
The Dallas, Texas-based company told[PDF] the following to the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals, which is considering the issue:
The government orders at issueand tens of thousands like them annuallyseek detailed records that can reveal the location and movements of the user of a particular mobile device, often over a relatively lengthy period. In many cases, the government can use that information to track the ongoing movements of particular targeted individuals, building a detailed understanding of the targets patterns of behavior and social and professional contacts and activities. Network, application, and other technological developments are making that location information ever more detailed and precise. Considerable legal uncertainty surrounds the standards the government must satisfy to compel the production of location information, and achieving legal clarity is essential to protecting consumer privacy, defining the scope of legitimate law enforcement interests, and ensuring the efficient operation of companies operating in various sectors of the digital economy.
The case before the appeals court involves a Florida man, Quartavious Davis. He was sentenced to life for a string of robberies. His 2012 conviction rested largely on mobile phone records pegging his location near six of seven heists. The Atlanta-based appeals court, ruling in Davis' case in June, concluded that warrants were required.
But President Barack Obama's administration urged the court to rehear the case: [PDF]
On the merits, it is not persuasive to hold that cell site data is always within the subscriber's reasonable expectation of privacyno matter whether the information in question pertains to a single phone call spanning a few seconds or thousands of phone calls spanning a few years, no matter whether the subscriber makes a call in plain view in a public place or from the privacy of his own home, and no matter how explicit the warning incorporated into the customers service contract.
The government also noted that the court's decision conflicted with other appellate decisions. The appeals court decided to rehear the case at a yet-to-be-determined time.
Davis successfully arguedthat the public maintains a reasonable expectation of privacy that their public movements won't be catalogued for the government unless a probable cause warrant is issued by a judge. The authorities did not get a warrant in Davis' prosecution.
"Thus, the exposure of the cell site location information can convert what would otherwise be a private event into a public one. When ones whereabouts are not public, then one may have a reasonable expectation of privacy in those whereabouts," the court ruled. (Because the court decided to rehear the case, the decision is no longer case law.)

AT&T demands clarity: Are warrants needed for customer cell-site data?
On November 12, the Burlington Jct. City Council began speaking to the towns streets future improvements.
The discussion was prompted when City Secretary Angie Lightner gave an Municipal Election timeline for aldermen position filings and a renewal of the street levy.

The council by consensus decided to put that issue on the ballot. More discussion will come at the December meeting about street improvements, which would require additional funding.
Other issues addressed:
Brad Mather, Midwest Trophy owner, spoke again with the council about his buildings weatherization needs due to the citys demolition of an adjoining building several years ago. He will get estimates of a metal siding and installation and bring back to the council. The council members spoke about what the citys responsibility is and tabled any decisions.
