Who was expecting portions of the lots to be used for open space in the redevelopment plan? Every project that is going up in the city uses every bit of its lot. 100% lot coverage is what needs to be used, otherwise its wasted space. The more units, more people, create opportunities for more businesses, more tourists. Think of a downtown shopping area (Cookman Ave) as compared to a strip mall which is set back from the road. The wide avenues with their green space in between make for plenty of open space connecting the town to the beachfront. The building is going to be taller than what had previously been there because C-8 had 4 stories to go before reaching its full height. In terms of overall height, if C-8 was finished it would have been basically the same thing we are looking at now with a much larger footprint taking up a large amount of public space. A few extra feet in terms of overall height is not going to make much of a difference to the naked eye. Its impossible to tell 200 ft from 210 feet. What matters is this is going to be a great addition, a grand building that people will look at and say wow to. Once people see this completed, the doubters of Asbury Park will have something to change their minds. Yahoo!
