124 demo...EVENTUALLY

A contact with Ben Worley, in charge of the demos of flood property with the city, has clarified the delay at 124 Ewingville.

He states that the contractor will be returning to Franklin next week. He has one demo ahead of 124 Ewingville.

Mr. Worley does not know how long this will take.  He feels it could be another 2 weeks until the contractor arrives on Ewingville.

Remember to watch and protect the trees with orange ribbons.  They are not to be taken down but left for the land and our enjoyment.  Phone contacts to Ben Worley are on the right of this posting.

Mr. Worley states that we have not been forgotten!

124 Contractor Delay

A communication with Ben Worley, project manager for the demolition of buy-out properties has updated.  The current delay is due to the contractor being able to schedule.  Mr. Worley says that likely the contrator will not schedule before Thanksgiving.

Orange Ribbons--Trees Remain at 124.

As of this date, November 1, 2012, there are orange ribbons around 9 trees at 124 Ewingville.  Mr. Worley, project engineer with the city for the demos, states that these trees will be left standing.

Mr. Worley states that he hopes this demo is done by Thanksgiving depending on all details being worked out.

 

124 CLOSED!!

I have learned that the house at 124 Ewingville closed October 24, 2012.

The Fristz have left us a message on the side of the house:
"We CLOSED.  Goodbye Ewingville.  We are going to miss you all."

A contact with Ben Worley, Project Manager for the demolition of flood properties on Ewingville, states that it will be 2-3 weeks before the contractor can schedule this demo.

We need to be watching the trees to remain.  I have been told that just a few will be removed.  Mr. Worley felt it would be easier to ribbon the trees to be removed because there are so few of them.

I have questioned putting ribbons on the trees to remove that could cause confusion with the machine operator.  I have suggested large red x marks on the trees to be removed.  Ribbons on trees in the past have meant that tree would be left standing.  No reply as of this posting.

Please help with vigilance in observing the trees at 124.  Information to contact Ben Worley is to the right of this posting.

124 Delayed Demo

A Commuinication with Ben Worley, Project Manager with Franklin, for the Ewingville demolitions, states that there is no date set as of Oct. 16, 2012 for 124 Ewingville.  He is waiting for the city closing attorney to work with them to get it closed.

119 Ewingville Fallen Tree

Ben Worley, Project Manager for the City in the demos of flood properties, responded to an E mail from a neighbor.  This neighbor questioned the fallen tree on the property at 119 Ewingville, formerly Buck property.

Mr. Worley responded that it will be removed when equipment is brought in to demo the house at 124 Ewingville.

124 Ewingville Ribbons on Trees

Information from Ben Worley, Project Manager for Franklin, overseeing the house demos on Ewingville, confirmed on September 12 that the city is about a month away from owning 124 Ewingville.

 

Concerning ribbons on trees Mr. Worley has stated that it would likely be easier to put ribbons on trees to be removed.  He felt this was only a couple of trees.  No ribbons will go on trees until the city owns the property.

 

Every attempt will be made to ascertain which trees will have ribbons…those going or staying.  It appears now that most of the trees at 124 Ewingville will remain.


It is still likely that the property will be cleared by Thanksgiving 2012.
