werner and the board -
i agree, they dont look the best that they could have been, but they are in fact there now. the roof lines, dormers, and angles you speak of are a matter of oppinion i think. no architect would design something that wasnt proportioined right, or look odd. i dont think the buildings deisign look bad for what they are, noting is "out of place" its posisable the take on old style, with modern structure is whats making it look wrong to you. i dont know.
when you drive down lake ave, and look at them, and then look straight foward and see the beachfront buildings, they (the townhouses) dont look like they fit in at all. it is horriable acutallly! but we also have to keep in mind, that lake ave, wont be the main road it onces was, when it is it cut off. giving the backside of the townhouses no clear driver
visibiity. with the exception of a few who drive thru the development for whatever reasons.
from pictures, and meetings i remember in the past. there is soppse to be a large buffer of trees along the lake, directly behind the townhouse area. with a small one way road, for utility purposes, not the wide road that is there now (i dont know if that is still happening from the way everything is layed out) i dont think a view from either side of wesly lake would be a probelm. the townhouses would have their tree pirvate screen, and ocean grove would have a view of townhouses and trees. not much differnt then the view asbury has of some of ocean groves condos units on the end of ocean ave.
"Ultimately, Wesley Grove at Asbury Park will include approximately 750 residential units ranging in size from 1,100 to 2,650 square feet located along Wesley Lake and Cookman Avenue with views
of the Atlantic and Asburys historic boardwalk. Up to 35,000 square feet of retail space will also be part of the community." i thought the front side of weslty grove, on cookman ave was part of the same project? higher units, giving space for ground floor retail, to fit in with the rest of cookman? all right, i think this post got too long. ill end it here. bye
