Neptune Township Announces a New North End Plan. 4/28/2015

Posted in Ocean Grove news, Ocean Grove North End Redevelopment Plan, tagged on April 28, 2015| 24 Comments »

 

 

Paul Goldfinger,M.D.  Editor Blogfinger.net.  4/28/2015

 

A new North End Redevelopment Plan was announced at last night’s Neptune Township Committee meeting.   The initial part of that meeting was a work- shop session which had the NERP on its agenda.

Committeeman Randy Bishop reported that the redeveloper WAVE had a new site plan prepared for the North End by Shore Point, an architecture firm from Ocean Grove, and he brought the concept drawing (above) with him.   Click on the drawing to make it larger and easier to study.

In an email from JP Gradone, COO of the CMA, Gradone said, ” The OGCMA and WAVE have agreed to make WAVE the primary developer.  The OGCMA will have covenants that will run with the land, and Neptune Township will be the authority to oversee the project as The Redevelopment Entity.”

The new plan is not official and it contains the same elements as before: condos, hotel, underground garage and retail. But there will now be some major quantitative differences.

In addition, the concept plan actually shows us, in a limited way, what the project will look like. The diagram by the Shore Point Architecture firm has no seal, no signature and no date. In addition, there was no engineer’s report or signature, and the project has yet to be reviewed by the Department of Environmental Protection.

Bishop wasn’t planning to share the diagram with the public, but when challenged by citizen Jack Bredin, and with the approval of the Township Attorney, Committeeman Houghtaling handed a copy to Bredin.

Interestingly, Bishop did not offer to explain why these changes were made. The redevelopers likely didn’t cut back on millions of dollars in profits just to make Grovers feel better about the project.

Here are four of the differences between the new plan and the legal 2008 NERP which Bishop was willing to share, and then we will make some observations of our own.

  1. Condos: reduced from 78 multi-units to 39
  1. Single family homes: increased from 7 to 10
  1. Hotel rooms : reduced from 80 to 40
  1. Retail space: reduced from 15,000 sq. ft. to 12,000 Sq. ft.

Then comes the drawing from Shore Point, and that is very interesting, even though is merely a “concept.” Remember that the original NERP which was accepted in 2008 and is still officially in effect had no detailed diagram or plan to show. But now we can see some details:

  1. There will be 10 single family detached homes, 2.5 stories high along Spray Avenue (a narrow one way street.)  Each home will have its own underground garage. Each home will face Spray Ave. and retain a historic setback.
  1. The hotel, despite the reduced number of rooms, will be 5 stories high. It will have some surface parking (6 handicap and 13 standard) and a loading zone. It will partially abut the boardwalk to its east. On the second floor are 11 rooms; 3rd floor 11 rooms; 4th floor 11 rooms; 5th floor 7 rooms. The first floor is for commercial enterprises.
  2. The condos will face the lake. Those two multi-family buildings will be 3 and 4 stories and contain 39 units total. It looks like there will be a roadway alongside the lake.
  1. The current white building* standing alone on the beach and boardwalk will be a 4 story multi-family structure with retail, health club and restaurant on the first floor. There will be a conference banquet facility on the second floor along with the restaurant. It’s unclear how that building will be accessed for vehicles. A pedestrian bridge will cross over the boardwalk.  Condos will be on the top floors.
  1. Retail will be 12 units.
  1. The garage will have 139 underground spaces. It will have egress and ingress via Spray Ave. Exit out to Ocean Avenue.

You can study this diagram yourself. However consider this:

  1. Because the changes involve “core elements,” the original 2008 NERP may have to be rescinded and a new one approved, including public hearings. In addition, the Township may have to open up the redevelopment project to new bidders. So will the Township conduct a search for a new redeveloper, and when will we have a signed redeveloper agreement?
  1. The whole project will fail if an engineer does not sign off on the structural integrity of the garage and related structures.
  1. RSIS parking standards will be met. At some point a traffic study will be required.
  1. The last step before construction will be another Planning Board hearing.

So, the plot thickens. Let’s pay attention.

Discussion begins regarding the fate of the Feb. 6, 2015 fire site.

We had received a report about the plans for rebuilding at the site of the fire.  A detailed presentation was made by the building’s owner, Kurt Cavano, at the Chamber of Commerce meeting on Feb.24.  Since  the presentation was not said to be confidential, someone in the audience sent us a nice news report with the details which we posted this morning.

However, that citizen reporter received some heat about it and asked that we take it down.  Although it is not our policy to do so, we agreed to that request, even though all who were at the meeting have been free to share the information with anyone.

Up until the time we deleted the post, it had received over 1,300 hits, so it is “out there.”   In brief, a new building will replace the old.  It will be 3 stories tall and will be designed by an OG architect. The builder will be Jack Green Co.

If more details are made public, we will post them.  If someone else who was at the meeting, or if the owner wants to share the details, we will post it again.

I use the data on the county tax board site all the time and with the switch to new block numbers, found it hard to identify blocks in Ocean Grove.  So, I’ve put together a map of the new block numbers that might be useful to others in town as we all look at our updated assessments.  I’ve attached it and hope you will find it of sufficient interest to post.

 

If anyone finds an error, please let me know!

Snow plowing and temporary parking in the Grove: What’s the story? Part II of a II part article.

By Paul Goldfinger, Editor @Blogfinger

The Neptune Township ordinances that apply during snow storms are 13.2, regarding removal of snow and ice from sidewalks, and 7-7.3 which is about temporary parking prohibitions and snow plowing. You can read the Township ordinances by going to the Neptunetownship.org web site. Use the menu on top to find the Clerk’s Office, and then scroll down for the ordinance link.

We went over to the NTPD today to meet with Sgt. Michael Zarro, the traffic officer. We discussed the ordinances and how they pertain to Ocean Grove.

For streets in OG where there are signs regarding parking during snow emergencies, they advise car owners to move their vehicles to the south or east sides of the streets.   (ie, no parking on the north and west sides where the signs live.) Some streets in the Grove had no signs, but they did receive signs recently.

If there are no signs, and this pertains to the entire Township, the cars are to be moved to the “side of any street or roadway adjacent to properties with even numbered addresses.”

If you plan to leave your car in the Grove while you are elsewhere, then be sure to park it in a location that is safe during a snow emergency.

It was our intention to find out how the whole process works, because if you do not remove your car to the proper location, it will be towed at a cost of $90.00, and then you will be charged $20.00 per day for storage and you will be ticketed by the police. You will also receive a fine.  (ballpark: $85.00).

The process begins when the police and the public (via “reverse 911”) learn that a significant snow/ice storm is expected and that there is a snow emergency in effect.   This news, coming before the snow, causes the police to call in extra personnel. You should move your car at this point or certainly when the snow begins to fall. Plowing occurs when 2 inches have fallen.

As the storm warnings develop, the police begin driving around town alerting those who need to move their cars.  They find you, if you live here, by “running the plates.” They may turn on their lights and sirens, or they may knock on your door.

The whole point of this exercise is to make room for the snow plows. This is particularly worrisome in Ocean Grove where some streets are too narrow for the plows, sanders and salt trucks to get through without moving cars.

The plowing will begin in two high priority parts of the Grove where the streets are especially narrow—-the north side, especially in the mountains (i.e. Mt. Tabor, etc,) and on the two beach blocks which are between Ocean Avenue and Central Avenue.

After that the plows begin to head south. Plowing is provided by the DPW. Sgt. Zarro expects that for the first big storm, about 40 cars will be towed. For subsequent storms, he estimates about 20 tows each time.

If your street gets plowed, don’t think that the job is done and don’t move your car back. Plows may be returning, and also the sanders and salters will be visiting you later.

If, by some atmospheric magic, no plowing becomes necessary, than no tickets will be issued.

If your car is towed, you need to call the police to find out which towing company took it.

Once the storm subsides and the plowing is complete, you may park your car wherever you please. If you believe that everyone should move their cars again so that the other side is plowed, that idea will not be considered for practical reasons such as how to dispose of the snow.

Just Wondering: Parking in front of the Post Office

Posted in Blogfinger editorial, Blogfinger Presents, Ocean Grove news, Ocean Grove opinions, tagged on October 31, 2014| 21 Comments »

 

sign

 

Does the bus really need all that space?

These Blogfinger photos are  from Oct. 28, 2014  in front of the Ocean Grove Post Office.  Note the size of the “loading zone.”  ©

By Paul Goldfinger, Editor @Blogfinger

A question arose here recently regarding access to the OG post office, among other postal issues.  Many of us read the sign in front of the post office   (“loading drop off zone”) and felt that we could pull in to drop off a letter or package at the post office.

Joe commented:   “Just so you know, that loading zone is the only place large trucks have to drop off for the various restaurants and stores on Main without impeding traffic.   I’ve seen the cops ticket people who park there, and their pleas of going into the post office fall on indifferent ears.”   Joe didn’t want his neighbors to get ticketed.

I went back to check the lay of the land and the wording of the sign.

Then I contacted the Traffic  Officer, NTPD, who was unsure of the answer to the inquiry.  He said that he had not heard of ticketing cars there.  He got back to us with this response:

“I checked with the Township.  That was put there for the bus stop when they are loading and unloading.  No one else is allowed to park there. ”

I don’t see the word “bus” on any of the signs shown above, and it seems easy to conclude that the signs refer to the post office.  And how about those trucks that Joe describes?  Have they been ticketed also?  Given the ambiguity of the signage, those citizens should have been given a pass by the police

Why not give the citizens two or three diagonal spaces for post office drop offs?  There  is room.  Buses don’t need that much space. They rarely come into town. In neighboring towns, the bus stops are marked with yellow curbs only and they are not very big.  Today I saw some cars parked in Asbury bus stops.

In Ocean Township, there is a small post office on a narrow congested street with no parking  (sort of like our Main Avenue).  But that town has set aside 4 spaces that permit 15 minute parking for the post office.

Why is it that whenever an idea about parking is suggested by Ocean Grove taxpayers as they seek some relief,  they are consistently thrown under the bus and ignored by the Township?  

Is this a trivial matter? No. Small victories give rise to big victories.  

It’s time for the Township to favor the wishes of the people regarding parking,  as opposed to paying special attention to others such as tourists or merchants .  Remember  the design of the Main Avenue downtown which took away many parking spaces to allow expansion of outdoor dining?  

And what do we have here now—helping out the bus company to the detriment of the public?

Phil Smith, Grover and world-famous classical trumpet player.

By Paul Goldfinger, Editor @Blogfinger

Phil Smith of Ocean Grove and the New York Philharmonic has retired after 35 years as principal trumpet with the NYPO. He has a part-time home in Ocean Grove, but, in June, 2014,  he took up a new position as Professor at the University of Georgia School of Music. Phil Smith is famous throughout the music world, especially among  brass players, most all of whom view him as the greatest trumpet player.  Mr. Smith is also known as a teacher, and when he announced his retirement last year, praise and tributes have been pouring in from students and admirers  including a very fine piece on National Public Radio’s web site (with videos).  Here is a link to that:    NPR tribute to Phil Smith 2014

In 2013, Phil Smith performed in the Great Auditorium. He has done so before, and hopefully he will again in the future, but this was special because we got to interview him. Here is a link to our post about him:     Blogfinger post about Phil Smith

In 1989, a video of Phil soloing with Zubin Mehta and the NY Philharmonic with Hadyn’s Trumpet Concerto, 3rd movement.  From WQXR radio.  Click on the link and then scroll down to the video.

Haydn Trumpet Concerto

And below is an excellent video of the New York Philharmonic brass  section  playing a selection from the Mahler Symphony #2  (Resurrection.)  Phil  sits on the right side of the trumpets, next to the trombones. The conductor is Alan Gilbert.

We hope that Phil Smith and Mrs. Smith will return for summers in the Grove.   If we are lucky, maybe Gordon Turk will convince him to perform again on our stage in the Great Auditorium. That would be excellent!

But meanwhile, the Blogfinger music department wishes Phil all the best as he takes on a new challenge.  I guess we know where the best collegiate trumpet players will be enrolling.

Note:  Thanks to Tom Costantino of Ocean Grove who alerted us regarding Phil’s retirement.

Letter to the Editor: Citizens attend Wesley Lake Commission Meeting

Last night I attended the Wesley Lake Commission monthly meeting with my wife.  While  waiting for the the meeting to start we were remarking that the turnout was not great.  Much to our surprise, when the meeting started, the officials were overwhelmed by the turnout—-about 20 people.

 

The public part of the meeting seemed very productive.  I believe the well-thought-out comments helped to focus the Commission on the task at hand.  The next meeting is October 21st.  A really solid turnout of 50 or so and we might really see action improving the deplorable condition of the historic and valuable local resource.

 

Please spread the word as you do so well!

Woman Rescued after nighttime swim July 28, 2014, in Ocean Grove. Asbury Park Press Reports:

Swimmer rescued off Ocean Grove after search

Posted by the Asbury Park Press  (APP.com) 

NEPTUNE – A woman who took a evening swim Monday night had to be rescued after she caught in a rip current and pulled more than 100 yards off the beach in Ocean Grove.

The woman, who wasn’t identified, was rescued by 9:15 p.m. by members of the ANSWER team and the Coast Guard, according to Mike Bascom of the ANSWER team. She was helped onto a Coast Guard boat and taken back to Manasquan Coast Guard station were she was given medical treatment and evaluation, Bascom said.

 

“We have a happy ending. She’s extremely fortunate to have survived this event and to be walking away in the good condition that she is,” said Bascom.

 

The search, which began just minutes before 9 p.m., was was confined to a two-block area because off Ocean Pathway, Bascom said. “She was drifting south from the last location,” he said.

 

The woman had gone swimming by herself after the lifeguards were gone for the day.

 

“A fisherman noticed she was in distress and was being pulled out further. He called 911 and that activated the ANSWER team and the Coast Guard responded. We had rescue swimmers and kayaks in the water as well as our boat and the Coast Guard boat. We were fortunate to be able to locate here,” Bascom said.

 

The Coast Guard station at Manasquan sent a 25-foot vessel to the scene and a crew member spotted the woman in the water, said BM1 Thomas Frantz, a Coast Guard spokesman. “The vessel pulled along side of her and she was taken to the station at Shark River where they were met by the first aid squad,” he said.

 

He did not know the woman’s condition Monday night.

 

Bascom and John ‘Chip’ More did not know the woman’s identity, but believed she was staying locally.

 

“The ANSWER team responded with approximately 15 rescue swimmers in water and 8 rescue divers on scene ready to go in,” he said.   Emergency medical services responded from Ocean Grove, Shark River Hills and Avon as well as emergency management from Neptune Township and Avon. Neptune Township police were on the scene, he said.

 

The ANSWER team is the Area Network of Shore Water Emergency Responders. It is comprised of volunteers from Avon, Bradley Beach, Neptune Township and Neptune City. It responds to water emergencies in each of the four municipalities and Ocean Grove. It provides mutual aid response to other municipalities when requested, Bascom said.

By Paul Goldfinger, Editor  @Blogfinger

Do you know of any town that people commonly call “beautiful” which has an entrance like this one that looks like the on-ramp for a route 1-9 truck route?  Can you imagine Spring Lake allowing the use of their town’s entrance as a bill board jungle?

Our schlocky entrance at Main Avenue is in stark contrast to our Broadway entrance, which looks great.

This crummy-looking area contains a billboard for a baseball game in June;  the pink-o-rama “paint the town pink”  and renaming our town “Pink Grove” banners and bows which are a triumph of symbolism over substance;  an ad for Meridian; an ugly olive  banner that champions a politically-correct art event for women only; and the “arts center” signs that promote everything from A to Z.   And the backdrop is the lovely  backside of old Neptune High, the former home of the Scarlet Fliers whose current  beautiful  campus on Neptune Boulevard is devoid of public advertising.  Finally, in the right lower corner is something that looks like a giant gray tombstone. (Will we have a cemetery there next?)

You won’t find anything like this in front of the Municipal Building (or at its rear end either) or at the Marina area at Shark River ; and let’s be sure to check the entrances to other residential areas in Neptune Township to see if the town fathers and mother permitted similar commercialization there.

This ugliness is the first impression that visitors to our town see.  It’s not good for morale or property values in Ocean Grove. It sends a message that suggests a certain bleakness in the Grove which belies the truth of our town.

Why isn’t the Homeowners Association making a fuss about this?  One of their main goals is to promote our property values.  They are not dependable as promoters of our town.  It’s fine to worry about derelict houses, but how about the derelict entrance to OG?

I suggest that we all write, call,  or email our committeemen and tell them to do something about the transformation of our entrance way into a commercial advertising district instead of something a historic town on the National Register can be proud of.

If you go to the township web site  Township web site      you will find “contact us” and then you will find the township directory which has the Neptune municipal government phone extensions.  If you click on the blue name of anyone there, you will get their email address and a ready-made email form suitable for mailing with no postage necessary.

The phone number is 732 988 5200.  The address for regular mail or for visiting is 25 Neptune Boulevard.

Work on the Middle Beach Boardwalk began April 7, 2014. Blogfinger photo ©  Click left to appreciate the metal bulkhead.

By Paul Goldfinger, Editor@Blogfinger.

The opening salvo:  Heavy equipment is now arriving to begin the process of building the Middle Beach Boardwalk .   In the photo above, you can see the famous old metal bulkhead  (aka sheathing wall)  which stood west of the old boardwalk.  Note that there was a wooden bulkhead at the north end boards and a continuation of the metal wall at the south end ; those  bulkheads were already east of the boardwalk and they protected those ends during Sandy.

The metal bulkhead (see the photo above) looks like a rusty old hulk, but it actually is quite sturdy and “in there” according to JP Gradone, COO of the OGCMA who has been communicating with the Epic Corp—the contractor.  Note that the metal sheathing will be attached to the new boardwalk.

When the project is done, by June 15, the entire boardwalk, from one end to the other, will be west of the bulkheads and thus better positioned to resist another massive storm.

As for the financing,  Neptune Township, via their bond issue, will pay the contractor bills, and then the CMA will bill FEMA. Finally the FEMA money will repay Neptune, and everything will be copacetic.

Is the Pavilion controversy part of the gay marriage story in Ocean Grove?

Posted in Ocean Grove controversies, Ocean Grove news, tagged , on October 21, 2013|

OGU celebrates the USA at Ocean GRoes July 4th parade in 2009. Blogfinger photo.

OGU celebrates the USA at Ocean Grove’s July 4th parade in 2009. Blogfinger photo.

This is what the Asbury Park Sun had to say (Oct. 18, 2013) about Ocean Grove, as the story of New Jersey’s new same sex-marriage law was developing:

“Neptune has a significant population of same-sex couples, particularly in its Ocean Grove section which saw high-profile litigation involving the prohibition of same-sex couples using the Ocean Grove boardwalk pavilion for civil union ceremonies.”

The link transfers the reader to a one-year-old article about the six-year-old charge of discrimination against the CMA.

So here we have a media report from Asbury Park that turns the spotlight on OG’s gay population and then immediately segues to the Pavilion controversy of 2007.

Why should the upbeat story of gay marriage in New Jersey be distorted locally by dredging up the Pavilion matter again?  Is the media going to crank up the heat regarding that Pavilion issue which was about a civil union ceremony and not about gay marriage?

We haven’t even had our first gay marriage in Neptune, and already the neighbors are stirring the pot.  Sure there is a distant historic link, but really the news now is about the just-born same-sex marriage law which many local gays are celebrating and even participating in.  So why emphasize the old news when the new news is so positive?

Ocean Grove United has been working hard this past year in solidarity with the OG Camp Meeting Association to build good relations on behalf of the entire town.  It is up to all  Grovers to resist any efforts to turn our town into a lightening rod regarding controversial gay rights issues. I, for one, will not be posting  Blogfinger comments from nasty bomb throwers regarding these subjects.  We certainly will post comments that are thoughtful and objective.

I would guess that Ocean Grove’s  “significant population of same-sex couples” would prefer to be like anybody else, and not be singled out by media troublemakers.

We invite Ocean Grove gay citizens to comment on this subject here.  And,  if any of our “significant [gay] population” would be willing, we would like to interview you for an article about gay marriage in Ocean Grove. And perhaps one couple who will be having a wedding ceremony in the Grove will invite us to come, take pictures and write about the event.

Broadway. July 3 By Ken Buckley

From Ken Buckley, a resident of Broadway:    “I can’t believe there is any debris left on our streets to clog these drains. I will send you series of pics which show water half way out to median west of Pilgrim but little east of Pilgrim at the same time.”  Ken

Editor’s Note:      We spoke to Mayor Eric Houghtaling today regarding Broadway.  He says that all the work on Broadway regarding flood control has been completed, although he indicated that there might be some more to do on Abbott Avenue.  He feels that there will always a tendency to flood on Broadway under certain conditions but that the situation is much improved.

He acknowledged that future work is planned for Fletcher Lake.  The Mayor  also said that the Township could not routinely assign people to be available at all times to clear the drains.  The Public Works people were there today, but the residents may need to help out sometimes.

FROM THE OCEAN GROVE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION :

“It may be hard to believe, but the Broadway Drainage Project has reached its final phase: milling and paving the roadway from Lawrence Avenue east to Ocean Avenue.

“All that remains to be done prior to the start of paving is to (1) complete work on the sewer line at the east end of Broadway; and (2) lay the conduit that will hold the electrical wiring for the new street lights.  Work on the sewer line is expected to be complete by April 19 (weather permitting); and the conduit to be laid by April 26 (weather permitting).

“In order to expedite milling and paving, there will be no parking on either side of Broadway from Monday, April 29 through Friday, May 3.”

Broadway residents will be receiving  detailed information from Neptune Township PD.  Paving should be done by May 3.
