Wrong, JR! While a member of the Board of Adjustment from 1997-99, I sat in on hearings from then owner, Phil Konvitz, about soil contamination in all of the Springwood area, the stories of how the leveled land was used as a "dumping ground" for old, discarded appliances, that had to be dug up by backhoes, just to regrade properties, for the few town homes over there!
At the time, his associate had come before the board, thinking that the building of 3 bedroom homes, 2 baths, constituted a change of use, when in fact, you need only to petition the board, if a complete change is needed. The initial permit to build homes, had not changed, so the new petition, was moot and needn't have come before us! The fact that the land had old TV's refrigerators, stoves, etc., were leeching chemicals from rain run-off, which is one reason why it is designated Brownfield and run-off from Ocean Township that leeches into Sunset Lake from Seaview Mall negates your statement that Asbury Park doesn't think beyond its' borders. It's Neptune, that watches everything Asbury does, then try to "best" them! That old bastion of racism, Ocean Grove, has to comply with Neptune Township, since they became part of it. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "justifiedright" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Well Michael whatever the case it seems to me to be a good thing. > Anytime AP can get money from outsided - take it. > > Like I said earlier this week, AP traditionally does not pay > attention beyond its borders. > > This development with Brownfields is contrary to that. > > Nice job to you those responsible. > > > > > --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "Michael W.
