A truck backed over a gas valve
at a South Burlington construction site Friday morning, starting a leak and a fire that damaged the truck and scorched part of a condominium under construction on Lime Kiln Road.
Nobody was hurt. The construction site was evacuated, but residents of nearby homes and condominiums were allowed to stay.
A fork lift-type truck backed over the valve at about 10:15 Friday morning, South Burlington Fire Capt. Matt Vinci said.
The fire burned under the truck for at least a half hour, and set fire to the exterior of the condominium. Damage to the building was slight, Vinci said.
Vermont Gas Systems Inc. quickly shut the gas line down, but it took until shortly before 11 a.m. until all the gas had drained from the line, Vinci said. Firefighters soaked the building's exterior and the truck until all the gas drained from the line and the fire went out, he said.

construction officially started in the Winooski
on their huge and long-awaited redevelopment project. Winooski's big dig got underway Thursday and the Governor was here about two hours ago to kick it all off. Governor Douglas got the word from federal officials around noon Thursday on a central financial aspect and he rushed to Winooski to share it with the city.
Governor Douglas personally delivered the good news about a federal loan approving an essential million loan guarantee for the million Winooski Redevelopment Project.
The loans guarantee means that the redevelopment project will start in about eight weeks, on April 15. The project includes plans for more than 600 units of mixed housing, a one thousand space parking garage, and dramatic increases in retail and business space. Still needed is state approval of another 25 million dollar loan guarantee,

Developers say it's a key building-lot in the Queen City
and they're banking on approval to build a ten-story structure there, with nearly 50 condominiums, two commercial spaces, and a three level parking garage.
... The plan is laid out before the Burlington Development Review Board and a crowd with mixed feelings about the project, Tuesday night.
... Some argue the ten-story structure is too large for the location at the corner of Pine and College Streets. Others say it will block valuable views and change Burlington's skyline.
Right now, an elderly housing complex on St. Paul Street is the tallest building in Burlington at 124 feet. The proposed structure would be 24 feet shorter at 100 feet-- similar to the building at 7 Burlington Square.
... Under city ordinance, buildings can only be 60 feet tall. So, developers must get approval for the extra 40 feet. These are called "height bonuses." They're offered by the city if affordable units and public parking are included in the project, and both will be.

"As a two-person office, we are comfortable putting out a couple million dollars worth of construction projects each year," 51-year old Schwartz says. GNC works on a mix of residential and commercial projects, although the jobs are "slanted more toward residential right now," he says. "Since the beginning, the balance between residential and commercial has shifted depending on the market." The company can handle up to three jobs simultaneously.
Since 1976, Schwartz and the Great Northern team have worked on hundreds of homes and businesses. Some of the commercial work has been on familiar buildings throughout Chittenden County, such as the King Street Youth Center, the Howard Opera House, Burlington Square Mall....

Low interest rates and rising real estate prices are
forcing many Vermonters to invest in their current homes. At Prime Construction, remodeling business is up 25% over last year, and there is no slow down in sight, as the contractor is booked for the next three months.
"We are doing a lot of additions, we're doing a lot of what we call mother-in-law apartments," Prime President Mike Gervais says. Kitchen and bath renovations are big, energy types of renovation, new windows, siding roofing, that type of thing. It's all big, people are putting money back into their homes."
That demand has left some homeowners out in the cold with few contractors to choose from.
But that doesn't have to be a problem, if you are patient and plan ahead.

Vermont's development review law, Act 250, has fueled
disagreements over growth and development since the law was enacted over thirty years ago. One project has simmered in controversy for half that long -- fifteen years -- and is still the subject of a legal dispute that will continue next week
Overlooking lake Champlain lies one of Burlington's oldest and most secluded neighborhoods, Starr Farm beach, a series of summer camps dating from a hundred years ago. "It all lends itself to very low traffic, very low impact," Starr Farm Beach Camp Owners' Association. president Bill Parkhill explained. On the other side of a row of trees, developer Frank von Turkovitch doggedly pursues plans to build 148 units of rental apartments and condominiums. Already, part of the site on nearly 41 acres of woods and meadowland has been cleared. Two groups of neighbors -- the Starr Farm Camp Owners' Association and Sunset Cliff Association -- will try to win a legal order to halt the work.
The opponents say it's not NIMBY -- not in my back yard --

Winooski Redevelopment is Back On Track.
Winooski's downtown redevelopment plan has faced many setbacks -- so many that even Winooski residents were skeptical that it would ever happen. But a new plan with a few critical changes has won the official support of the Douglas administration. The promise of support for a federal loan under HUD's Section 108 construction loan program considerably enhances the viability of the project.
... But now the project is ready to fly. Just six months ago, governor Jim Douglas rejected the city's original application for the federal loan worth over million. Now the governor embraces the project. The difference was the addition of HallKeen, a Boston development company that brings both expertise and private investment.
... The plan includes six-hundred units of mixed-income housing, including 150 luxury riverfront condominiums, 250 mixed-income units, a hundred units in the Champlain mill and a hundred University of Vermont-affiliated units.

Burlington's City Council voted unanimously Monday night to move
forward on a plan to build a hotel and condominium complex at Battery and Cherry streets.
The approval authorizes Mayor Peter Clavelle to buy 1.2 acres north of the Radisson Hotel and to enter into agreements with the developers. Westlake Hospitality, Westlake Garage and Westlake Residential Partners will develop the land, according to the resolution passed Monday.
Construction is expected to begin in about two years and be completed in four, according to a timeline provided by the city's Community and Economic Development Office.
Construction has started on an "affordable housing"
project near Burlington's Lake Champlain waterfront.
The 40-apartment building should be completed by fall 2004, said Brenda Torpy, Burlington Community Land Trust executive director.
The L-shaped building, to include a parking garage, is being built on city-owned land between Depot and Lake streets, adjacent to the skate park and the old Moran electric plant.
Mayor Peter Clavelle said the project has been in the works since the mid-1980s -- a time when the waterfront was an "urban wasteland" of abandoned industrial sites.
"I'm real excited about this project," he said, speaking over the thump and vibration of earthmovers on the site. It is "the conversion of a brownfield into housing. Waterfront Apartments clearly demonstrates our city's commitment to a 24-hour, four-season downtown waterfront accessible to citizens of all incomes."
Thirty-two of the apartments will be reserved for families at or below Burlington-area median income levels,

Green design is growing in the Green Mountains.
Winooski's downtown development has been lauded for its revitalization effort. Plans to incorporate green design principles into South Burlington's future City Center and Retrovest's South Village development are under way. Other local projects are soon to follow.
Supporters of "smart growth" call current conditions of rapid economic and population growth, depleted natural resources and damaged ecosystems a global environmental crisis -- and a direct result of conventional design practices undertaken without regard for environmental effects.
Green design, also known as sustainable design, offers a means for reducing those impacts in the future.

Urban planning wonks call it infill development.
It's just home, though, to renters who this month started moving into a new South Burlington neighborhood taking shape on vacant land wedged between Farrell Street and U.S. 7.
One of four buildings at the new O'Dell Apartments is open and the rest are nearing completion. A new stretch of east-west road opened this month, providing a direct connection between Farrell and busy U.S. 7 -- a main artery into Burlington.
... The new buildings and road represent the first phase of a multi-year makeover that is eventually slated to include senior housing, stores, offices and an extended- stay hotel. An adjacent shopping plaza, The Gateway, is being redeveloped with a new Shaw's supermarket as the anchor tenant.
The parcel is located at the southern entrance, near existing shops, public transit, offices and residential streets. The apartments, when complete, will total 160 units, with 124 units reserved for low- and moderate-income tenants. Rents will range from to .
