================================================================
And several significant misrepresentations of rehabiltation are made.
Buildings are rehabilitated and brought up to modern uses regularly. As
evidences by the countless 100+ year old homes in the city brought back
to life in recent years.
The argument that 'old' can not be made viable holds no water based
upon local and national trends.
Unless a building has serious structural or environmental defects that
are cost prohibitive to correct, a rehabilitation is certaily worth
exploring.
In regards to that block, the 3 buildings (Virginia, Jersey, Britwood),
are significant representatives of a high point in the development of
Asbury Park (roaring 20s).
In fact, one has been restored/rehabed and is a viable ratable. another
has the exterior restored but is prohibired from completion due to
myopic planning.
Both of those were vacant with caved in roofs and are now very nice
architectural icons that benifit the community in esthetics and tax
base.
The Virgina is a great candidate for rehab also, renderings were
prepared several years ago showing the restoration of the large
porches/balconies that were removed years ago.
Only poor planning and land use policies have prevented the
improvement/rehab/restoration of the Virginia and Jersey.
