Columbia Falls has extended a large-scale development pause for another 6 months

The small Down East town that had been eyed as the potential site of the world’s tallest flagpole will extend a large-scale development moratorium by another six months.

Columbia Falls residents initially approved a six-month pause on major commercial or high-density development back in March.

Aga Dixon, the town’s attorney, said that the work of drafting new ordinances and regulations to better react to big developments is about halfway complete. Town and planning board officials have been meeting almost weekly, and Dixon said she expects they will present a draft code of ordinances to voters for their consideration sometime this fall or winter.

“Columbia Falls is in a position that a lot of rural communities are in,” she said. “Land use planning has not been top of the mind. Resources have not been there to do this work. And sometimes it takes a little bit of development pressure or concern to rattle voters, rattle residents and get to doing this hard work.”

The town has said that it’s experienced a variety of development pressures over the years, and not just from the Worcester family, the Wreaths Across America founders that had pitched the construction of a multi-billion-dollar flagpole and veterans memorial park near Columbia Falls.

A spokesperson for the Worcesters didn’t immediate return a request for comment on Tuesday about the extended moratorium or the status of the flagpole project. As of Tuesday afternoon, a website for the proposed “Flagpole of Freedom” park appeared to be offline.

Dixon said the town hasn’t asked for or received any updates about the status of the flagpole project.

Popeye’s developer gets land rezoned | News

GOSHEN — The fast-food chain Popeye’s is on its way to opening in Goshen following rezoning by the Goshen City Council Monday night.

The council amended the zoning ordinance for property on the west side of High Street, south of Pike Street, from Residential R-2 to Commercial B3. That property will be joined with three other lots that are already B3 — 1102, 1106 and 1110 W. Pike St. According to information provided by the Planning Department, the “The High Street parcel will likely be used primarily for stormwater drainage.”

No one spoke at the meeting. Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator Rossa Deegan said his department had three inquiries about the zoning change at the outset of the request, but has had none since.

Those making the request were: PRIMECO Inc., Aby Mohamed of Aby Groups, and Woolpert.

The council approved the rezoning unanimously.

The council also approved an ordinance authorizing the city to issue a taxable Economic Development Revenue bond for the Ariel Cycleworks Apartment Project, and the issued bonds will be purchased by the developer, or their bank, to fund infrastructure components for their project.

The city through the Redevelopment Commission will issue its bonds, maturing no later than 25 years after the date of issuance, in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $6,250,000. The interest rate will not exceed 6%.

Ariel Cycleworks Apartment Project is located along Ninth Street and is a brownfield site. The total cost of the project is about $30 million and will create 135 apartments and commercial space. According to AP Development’s website, the project will be “funded through a combination of the HUD 221(d)(4) program, Indiana Regional Economic Acceleration and Development Initiative funding (READI) and Tax Increment Financing.”

Bonds will be payable as to principal and interest from TIF Revenues collected

OSHA alleges Tulsa manufacturer exposed workers to safety, health hazards

TULSA, Okla. — A worker’s death at Accurate Manufacturing Inc. in April sparked three federal workplace safety and health investigations led to a plethora of safety and health hazards allegations.

Accurate Manufacturing is a Tulsa-based company that manufactures and builds steel products for various industries, including oil and gas. Accurate Manufacturing and it’s sister company Professional Fabricators, Inc. employ around 40 workers, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) opened the investigations and allege the worker died from injuries sustained while pressure testing a heat exchanger.

“With pressure at 2,600 psi, one of the exchangers’ plugs blew off and struck the employee. OSHA determined the company violated the general duty clause for not keeping its employees safe,” said the U.S. Department of Labor in a press release.

Further investigations found 36 potential violations, including 25 “serious” safety violations.

The U.S. Dept. of Labor provided this list of violations found:

  • Failing to keep exit routes free from obstruction.
  • Allowing a barrel of flammable chemical to not be grounded and bonded.
  • Failing to have an energy-control program or provide related training.
  • Allowing the use of powered industrial trucks, slings and lifting devices that were not in safe operating condition.
  • Failing to install required machine guards.
  • Not ensuring electrical equipment was maintained properly and in safe operating condition.
  • Failing to provide flame-proof shields or screens and protective eye wear to welders and their assistants.

OSHA’s investigation of the facility also found 10 violations including failures to:

  • Employ a continuing and effective hearing conservation program and maintain accurate records of employees’ exposure measurements.
  • Establish and maintain an audiometric testing program and valid baseline audiogram.
  • Make sure the facility’s paint spray booth met all OSHA requirements.

Maker Fair Minnesota back for 12th year | Lifestyles

Maker Fair Minnesota returns to the Nicollet County Fairgrounds in St. Peter this weekend for the 12th year, and organizers say it will be bigger and better.

The event, which features the handcrafted work and food of artisans, has grown significantly over the years. The first event included just 20 vendors and attracted about 200 attendees. That number has since grown to 190 vendors and 5,000 attendees.

Items for sale at Maker Fair Minnesota include: sewn and baked goods, iron, metal and wood work, craft items, home decor and more.

“There is something there for everybody, and if they can’t find anything, they aren’t looking hard enough,” said organizer Karen Dirkx.

Maker Fair Minnesota vendors are required to sell homemade items only, meaning no mass-produced goods are allowed. The fair also requires artisans to be present.

“It promotes customer interaction and allows our vendors to tell the customers how their product is made,” said organizer Scott Dirkx.

For the kids, the event includes a pumpkin hunt, which begins in the fairgrounds’ Johnson Hall. Kids search through buildings for a pumpkin and get a card punched for each one they find. Once they have all four stamps, they get a goodie bag.

Before the Dirkx family got involved, the event initially was in Vernon Center and Garden City. When the original organizer moved away, Karen Dirkx decided that she, as a vendor, could step in and continue and perhaps improve the fair. At that time, there were just a few vendors left.

The Dirkxes added the word “Minnesota” to the event’s name and moved it to the Nicollet County Fairgrounds, where there was more room for vendors and parking.

They’ve attracted exhibitors by word of mouth. Business has been so good lately that they’ve had to turn vendors away. This year

A 46-year-old man has been arrested following a series of alleged burglaries in Manor Lakes on Tuesday.

Police received a report from a security guard of a man allegedly seen running from a building site with his arms full of stolen items at the corner of Ballan and Ison roads about 2.30am on August 29.

The man jumped into a car and drove off, but security were able to provide a registration number to police, who were nearby speaking with another man wanted on a separate matter when they saw the getaway car drive past.

With the man they were speaking to assuring them he would attend his local police station later, police set off in pursuit and located the getaway vehicle in Parker Street, Werribee, a short time later.

They arrested the male driver and allegedly located a balaclava, gloves and head lamp in the vehicle.

It’s alleged he had broken into at least three new townhouses that were nearing completion, but what was actually stolen is still to be determined.

When police arrived back at the station to begin processing the alleged burglar, they were shocked to discover the man wanted on the separate matter had been good to his word and attended the station.
