Livermore project would replace decades-old rental units with group of townhomes

LIVERMORE — A proposed project would demolish a group of 70-year-old rental units on the south side of College Avenue and create new townhouses. The City Council on Monday will consider a plan to redevelop the 38,000-square-foot site west of the Tokay Common condominiums. If approved, seven bungalow-style units dating to the 1930s would be torn down and replaced with seven two-story residences on individual lots, according to staff reports.Because the rental buildings proposed for demolition are more than 50 years old, special approval from the city’s historic preservation commission was required, said Livermore Senior Planner Scott Lee.”They were kind of dated and the (commission) concluded they were not historically significant enough to preserve,” he said.Neighbors have generally shown support for the project, which the Planning Commission unanimously approved Feb. 2. Two speakers at that meeting said they thought it would help enhance the neighborhood.Only one of the proposed units would face College Avenue. That 1,733-square foot residence would be designed as a detached house in order to “increase the impression of a single-family residential character of the neighborhood,” according to staff reports. The six remaining units, all 1,973 square feet each, would be attached in pairs. Each would include a private driveway and two-car garage.A private road off College Avenue would provide access to the Advertisementdevelopment, which would also include a 7,195-square-foot open-space area in the rear.In addition to providing emergency-vehicle access, the common space would feature a children’s play structure, a bench, a trellis and landscaping. It would also serve as a buffer between the proposed townhomes and an existing single-family residence to the south, according to staff reports.The private road and landscaping would help separate the project from an existing residence to the west.The council meeting will be held at cheap domestic flights from Broome to Hobart 7 p.m. Monday in the Council Chamber …continue reading

Gas prices, bad economy helped transform Hummer from massive icon to ‘ruler of …

NEW YORK
– One thing you can say about the Hummer, roaring down the road, towering over subcompacts like an NBA center in a sea of toddlers: It always drew a reaction.
The beefy, military-inspired SUV began as a macho icon for enthusiasts like Arnold Schwarzenegger, who held photo ops in Hummers in his early days as governor. For others it was a symbol of excess, environmental ruin and tackiness — a view that seemed to grow in direct proportion to gas prices and economic distress.
And now the brand is likely no more. General Motors Co. said Wednesday its bid to sell Hummer to a Chinese heavy equipment manufacturer had collapsed. Government regulators in Beijing failed to approve the sale and GM said it would have no choice but to let the brand die, 18 years after its first and most enormous model started lumbering off the assembly line.
"Finally," said Ann Mesnikoff, director of the green transportation campaign at the Sierra Club in Washington. "The Hummer was the epitome of gas guzzling."
Schwarzenegger, who was instrumental in popularizing the vehicle, had a much different reaction two decades ago when he first saw the Hummer’s direct military ancestor. Then a body builder turned movie star, he was on his way to the set of "Kindergarten Cop" in Oregon when an Army convoy packed with Humvees thundered past.
"I put the brakes on," Schwarzenegger said at the 1992 ceremony that AM General held to start production of civilian Hummers. "Someone smashed into the back of me, but I just stared. ‘Oh my God, there is the vehicle,’ I said. And from then on, I was possessed."
Hummer’s earliest predecessor was the jeep, the boxy multipurpose vehicle built in large numbers for the Army in World War II. The jeep evolved into the Humvee, which saw heavy action — and entered Americans’ consciousness during the Gulf War.

In the late 1990s, GM bought cheap flights Albury to Sydney Hummer from AM General and began selling …continue reading

Trial begins in twisted murder plot spanning Alameda, Contra Costa counties

February 8, 2010 in Uncategorized by voiletgirl

Source: Tri-Valley Herald (Original Article)

OAKLAND — April Bradley did a favor for her friend’s son two years ago, renting him a minivan because he lacked the driver’s license and credit card necessary to do it himself.The son repaid the favor, a prosecutor said Monday at Rene C. Davidson Courthouse, by organizing a plan that led to Bradley being shot four times in the head.In a twisted tale that spans two counties, includes two homicides and involves a cast of characters ranging from a pair of drug dealers to a pizza deliveryman who religiously monitors a police scanner, an Alameda County prosecutor began to try to convince a jury that Hezekiah Edwards, 26, of Antioch, and Stefon Johnson, 28, of Hayward, are guilty of a double-murder and should be sent to prison for the rest of their lives.”The two defendants were part of a team of killers,” Deputy District Attorney John Brouhard said. “This team really had no boundaries.”They had no boundaries in terms of geography, in terms of whom they killed and in terms of why they killed, Brouhard said.”They killed for their own gain, and they killed to prevent the police from catching them,” Brouhard said. “They killed strangers, and they killed someone who was a family friend.”The pair’s story began March 15, 2006, when Bradley, 40 years old and mother to a 9-year-old son, agreed to help her ailing friend Renee Grey by renting a minivan for Grey’s son, Edwards, Brouhard said.About a week later, the minivan Advertisementwas used in the attempted kidnapping of two Antioch drug dealers that resulted in both dealers being shot. One of the dealers, Willie Lavall Jr., 23, also was run over and dragged for about two blocks under the van, causing death.Besides a description of the van, Antioch police had little to investigate until a pizza deliveryman, who heard the van’s description on his police scanner, saw the vehicle in another part of town, wrote down its license plate number and later told police what he saw.The information cheap flight Canberra to Melbourne (All Airports) led police to the Fox Rent-A-Car kiosk …continue reading

Barrett-Jackson Helps Raise Nearly $4.5 Million for Charity During the 2010 Scottsdale Auction

– 17 vehicles crossed the block for charity
– Top charity seller was a 2011 Ford Mustang GT glass roof pace car for
$300,000
– Darrell Gwynn’s 1990 Coors Extra Gold top fuel dragster replica was
sold and donated back twice to raise $410,000
– Craig Jackson launches the Russ & Brian Jackson Cancer Research Fund

The Barrett-Jackson Auction Company helped raise nearly $4.5 million for
various charities during the 39th Annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car
Auction in Scottsdale Jan. 18-24, 2010. Funds were gathered from the sale
of 17 vehicles consigned by event sponsors, charities and generous
Barrett-Jackson customers. Barrett-Jackson does not collect fees or
commissions on vehicles sold for charity, which amounted to nearly $400,000
in waived fees.

Barrett-Jackson kicked off its charitable efforts in Scottsdale with the
Childhelp Drive the Dream™ gala on Jan. 16. This star studded event was
attended by over 700 people. Through a commitment for matching funds by
Westminster International Humanitarian Trust, Childhelp was able to raise
well over $1.5 million with more funds still pouring in. The charitable
efforts of Barrett-Jackson continued throughout the week with multiple
charity cars being auctioned. Many of them were captured live on SPEED.

“Barrett-Jackson has a strong commitment to helping charities raise money
by providing time during our auction and waiving our commissions and fees,”
said Craig Jackson, Chairman/CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “This year, our
sponsors like Ford, General Motors and SPX, as well as our customers,
really stepped up and donated some great collector cars for auction. Our
customers have great hearts and show it by bidding on charity cars flights from Brisbane to Rockhampton for
worthy causes.”
