Development displaces residents

Mobile-home owners told to leave to make way for student apartments

The dishes rattled in the kitchen cabinets.
and a picture hanging above the couch fell
from the wall.

“It‘s the bulldozers," said Francis Barrera
as she hurried out of her mobile home last
Wednesday. “They don’t even care that I'm
still living here."

Outside. a bulldozer steered down the
paved road and joined two others already sit-
ting at the entrance to lngleside Mobile Home
Park.

"They‘ll start tearing all of this down
soon." Barrera yelled over the noise of the
machine. “All of these trailers will be demol-
ished soon. But people are still here -_ I’m
still living here.“

Barrera is one of the remaining lngleside
residents facing displacement from her mobile
home as development plans move forward for
a new apartment complex aimed at students.

Lexington developer Neal Evans bought
the 6.8-acre lot off Red Mile Road for $3.3
million in January to build the complex. In a
Nov. l meeting. the Lexington Planning Com-
mission unanimously voted to rezone 120I
Devonshire Ave, where the park is located.
from single~family residential to a high-densi-
ty apartment zone.

The demolition delay came in response to
complaints from lngleside residents to the Di— be

Residents were informed in August that
they might have to move but were told they'd
“very well taken care of.”

But once Evans announced the terms for

As a general practice for obtaining a per—

owners. cap property sewer lines and show

They faced a choice: leave their homes for

and conserving natural resources.

Prior to forming the permanent committee.
the Environmental Task Force existed from
December 2002 through 2004 and the Sustain-

trcnds and tribulations.

BEAUTY
ROUNDTABLE

Two Hollywood actresses and a
top celebrity hairstylist discuss

without makeup. There‘s somc~
thing really great and sexy about
Angelina Jolie: She‘s sponta-
neous and carefree. and kind of
scoffs at these ideals about
beauty.

Vcrgara: Makeup is normal
to me. In (my native) Colombia,
women are very into that. My
mom Would give me beauty tips
when l was a girl. For me. it‘s:
Why would anyone go out with-
out makeup?

What About Body Image?

Henstridge: Hollywood is
opening up culturally: You can
have different hair and skin. But
fat is still not OK. Unless you‘re
a character actor, you cannot
have an extra pound on you.

Vergara: It‘s very hard for
me to find a red carpet dress, be-
cause they're all sample sizes.
and I‘m. like, six sizes bigger.
At Elton John‘s Oscar party. a
lot of people were compliment-
ing me on my dress. but I was
uncomfortable and suffering the
whole night.

How Do You Get Red Car-
pet Ready?

Henstridge: If I want to look
fresh, I do a hot steam. It gets all
the oxygen to the skin. It‘s a
great trick.

Vergara: Fake eyelashes.
shimmer. stronger colors. It's all
more or less the same process.
but you just step it up a notch.

doesn‘t last and that lipstick
brings more glamour to a
woman. And I love mascara, be—
cause with just mascara. you can
look made up.

Paves: Every woman looks
amazing with her hair pulled
back. If you’re having a bad hair
day, it's the quickest way to look
polished and finished. It‘s very
regal. Jennifer Lopez is the
greatest example. Whether it‘s a
chignon or in a headband, it‘s
about proponion and shape of
the head.

Do You Shop For Beauty
Bargains?

Vergara: I buy everything at
the drugstore!

Paves: Drugstores are the
best. You can buy it all.

Henstridge: The (British)
Boots line is at CVS now. I’m
so excited; I’ve been a fan for
years! And Burt’s Bees lip
glosses are fantastic.

Where Do You Stand On
Plastic Surgery?

Henstridge: I see people in
their thirties who actually look
like they’re in their late forties:
They’re trying to look younger.
and it’s having the reverse ef-
fect. Kids doing it is a bit scary:
I don’t agree with that. For me. I
don‘t know. If it improves your
self-esteem. it‘s not a horrible
thing.

Vergaru: You shouldn't do it
to look younger: you can‘t trick
anyone! That’s the problem with
faces looking weird here in LA.
But something subtle? I would—
n‘t rule it out — maybe in 10 or
15 years.

Resistant to move

The development plan calls
for [68 apartments with a total
of 504 bedrooms and 457 park-
ing spaces to occupy the proper-
ty the mobile homes currently
sit on. Construction is scheduled
to begin in April.

Jason Henson. who has lived
at lngleside since 200l . said stu’
dents who will eventually move
into this area would not have
any idea of who was pushed out
to make space.

“I don't think they care who
was here before them — I don't
think we ever bother to think
about that." Henson said. “But 1
know I will now because I‘m
not just trailer trash. l work hard
for everything I have. and l
shouldn‘t be expected to just
give tip the first place that I‘ve
bought of my own."

Evans declined to comment
on lngleside. Scott Baesler. a de-
veloper involved iii the demoli-
tion of the park. could not be
reached for comment.

lf residents do not sign the
affidavit and choose to move
their trailer. they will not receive
any compensation or moving as-
sistance.

About 10 families still live
at the mobile home park: l8
families lived there when the

property was purchased from

former owner Mahmoud Sha-
lash. The remaining residents
own their trailers and do not
think their homes are in good
enough condition to be moved.

"That‘s the catch." Henson
said. “(Evansl will give us mon-
ey if we abandon our trailer but
nothing if we want to take it
with us. lf we want to move our
home. assuming we could move
it without destroying it. we‘re on
our own."

Henson said he estimates his
trailer is worth about $3.000,
and he expects Evans to pay that
much plus a “couple of months.
rent at the apartment or house I
find."

Barrera wanted to take her
trailer but could not afford to
pay for it to be moved. She said
Evans has not retumed her calls
since he gave her the affidavit
almost two weeks ago. She has
not signed the affidavit or ac—
cepted the S] .000.

"It‘s mine. and l‘Ve worked
hard for the things I‘ve got —» l
shouldn‘t be forced to give them
up." Barrera said.

tenants who rent the land for
their mobile home to move. said
Jon Fleming. a property and real
estate lawyer for Legal Aid of
the Bluegrass.

"When a mobile home is
purchased. the owner is given a
title. much like is given with a
car." Fleming said. “Different
than owning a home. if the
trailer is not able to be moved
either because it is run down or
the wheels have been removed.
the property owner has the
right to remove it or destroy it
if the owner of the mobile
home doesn't remove it upon
request."

The residents can try for bet-
ter financial compensation by
pursuing the full tax value of
their property if they have docu—
ments proving that they've paid
taxes on their mobile homes.
Fleming said.

“In this situation. with their
financial statuses being low and
them running out of options. this
is one of the last things they can
do." Fleming said.

Concerned about safety

The mobile home park
opened in the 1940s but has been
the subject of code violations
since 2000 when the city con-
demned 32 of 87 mobile homes
in ltigleside. according to records
from Lexington's Division of
(‘ode Enforcement. In 2005. raw
sewage was found throughout
the property. That same year. the

Approaching eviction

Adult Services/Tenant Ser-
vices does not have money to
relocate the families. but the of-
fice provided about eight lngle-
side residents with contact infor-
mation for church groups and
non—profit organizations that can
offer some financial help. said
Shirlyne Mosley. a social ser-
vices coordinator for the depart-
ment. Not many came to her of-
fice looking for help. she said.

“We‘re here to serve, but if
they don‘t come. we can‘t
serve." Mosley said.

The lnglcside families who
did seek assistance from city
government were given the list
of phone numbers for organiza-
tions that could help and infor«
mation for free legal services.

Open Door Church near ln-
gleside on Addison Avenue is
accepting donations to help In—
glcside residents. To donate. call
(859) 225—3700.

lnglcside residents were giv-
en an eviction notice in January
that stated they would have to
be off the property by March 15
and had until March 20 if they
planned to move their trailers.
The residents still remaining re-
ceived a second eviction notice
late last week. but many said
they will not move until they re—
ceive better compensation.

The second eviction hearing
is scheduled for 9:30 am. on
March 26 in Fayette District
Court. At the hearing, the resi—
dents will go before a judge and
have a chance to argue against
their eviction.

“I‘m going to be here when
the bulldozers show up." Henson
said. “They can‘t make me leave.
I'm going to stay and make them
come up with the right amount
of money. an amount that will
pay for me to leave this trailer
and to find somewhere new. And
I'm not the only one who plans
to do this."

Even though Barrera has
found a new place to bus. life is
not easy.

She works as a waitress at
Ryan‘s Restaurant on Red Mile
Road and has recently taken on
a second restaurant job to help
pay her bills.

“l‘rn paying bills here and
bills at my new house and trying
to afford to move." Barrera said.

She gets sortie financial help
froin her boyfriend but does not
ask for much because “he's got
lll\ own bills and l don‘t want to

“We right all the time about

One more win ties best start in school history

mgeorge©kykernol com

The UK baseball team is on the cusp of
making history again.

A win over Morehead State today at 4
pm. will make the Cats l9-() and tie the
records for the program's best stan and
longest winning streak. marks set by last
year’s squad.

But UK hopes to do more than just
match the accomplishments of the 2007
team. which. after its record—breaking non-
conference start. sputtered to a 13-16-1
Southeastern Conference performance and
failed to make the league toumament.

Senior first baseman Brian Spear said
despite identical 18-0 starts. he is not worv
ried about a possible letdown in conference
play because this year‘s situation is much
different than last year‘s.

"Last year guys didn‘t know what to ex-
pect." Spear said. “We were just coming off
an SEC championship team and we thought
that‘s where we should be again."

The difference has already begun to
show. In 2007. the Cats lost their SEC open—
ing series to Arkansas. Over the weekend.
the 2008 club opened league play by sweep—
ing Alabama. propelling them to a No. 2 n
tional ranking.

"This year we understand how to deal
with SEC competition more so than last
year." Spear said. "And as for the expecta-
tions thing. we don’t have to deal with the
things we had to deal with last year when
we were coining off an SEC championship.
We can just focus on the 2008 season."

Head coach John Cohen cited experi—
ence as the key to UK's red-hot start.

“We have tremendous leadership and kids
that want to compete at the highest level.
whether its in ping pong or weight lifting."
Cohen said.

He added that the Cats' defense has
also been a htige factor in their early sea—
son success.

 

 

' “The infield defense is dramatically dif-
ferent this year than last year." Cohen said.

In 2007. UK struggled to patch the defen-
sive holes left by the departures of second
baseman John Shelby and third baseman
Michael Bertram after the historic 2006 sea-
son. But this year. with the editions ofjunior
college transfer Chris McClendon and fresh-
men Chris Wade and Chris Bisson.
