A. Park can build ample buildings because they have the space to have off-street parking. Thus they can comply with the State RSIS standards.
But Ocean Grove doesn’t have such land and thus should not allow any building that cannot comply. That means no more condos or Mary’s Place sort of projects in OG, unless parking can be provided.
The one exception in OG from RSIS should be single family homes, as Jack Bredin proposed at a recent Home Groaners meeting; but his motion was sadly rejected by Grovers who were clueless. The members could have pushed the rogue HOA Board to do the right thing and save the town from further abuse by politicians and developers.
What a disgraceful travesty!
Meanwhile, just keep on dancing around the problems.
THE GENTRYS.

We are reposting this after only one month, because tonight the parking plan will be presented at the Committee meeting.
Any plan that doesn’t recommend enforcing the RSIS standards and the banning of construction projects that do not offer parking is a fraud. Don’t waste your time with small potatoes.
If the Laingdon Hotel is turned into a drug rehabilitation facility and others follow, Ocean Grove will lose it’s tourist base and parking will cease to be a problem. The pressure must be kept up to prevent such conversions.
Strikingly similar to the atrocities of the 1980’s. Time to consider succession as it is obvious that Neptune is not representing the needs of Ocean Grove.
