Another victory for environmentalists, more problems for us.  From 
today's Press:


Monmouth freeholders approve open space grants for municipalities

William Heine
Reader Submitted 

The Board of Chosen Freeholders has approved grants totaling 
$2,301,000 from the 2007 Monmouth County Open Space Trust Fund to 
acquire, create or improve park facilities in 11 municipalities.

This program helps municipalities preserve open space and acquire 
and improve parkland by sharing the costs with the county, said 
Freeholder Lillian G. Burry, liaison to the county's Park 
System. Both land acquisition and park, recreation and open space 
improvement efforts were eligible and considered. This is a valuable 
tool to help municipalities maintain and improve the quality of life 
in their communities.

All of the county's 53 municipalities were eligible to apply for 
funding awards. Twenty towns made requests seeking a total of $3.9 
million. The Board of Chosen Freeholders approved the grant awards 
at its Dec. 6 regular meeting. This is the fifth year of the program.

Maximum $250,000 grants, all for acquisition, were awarded to five 
municipalities:

• Allentown, for the acquisition and preservation of a 33-acre 
parcel on Breza Road as part of a regional plan and partnership with 
Upper Freehold, Washington Township, and the regional Board of 
Education.

• Belmar, for the acquisition of the .28 acres of waterfront 
property adjacent to the Shark River Inlet.

• Holmdel, for the acquisition of a 12-acre parcel adjacent to 
Mahoras Brook and an existing municipal park.

• Tinton Falls, for the acquisition of 4.89 acres located between 
State, town, and school lands.

• Upper Freehold, for the acquisition and preservation of a 35-acre 
parcel on Breza Road as part of a regional plan and partnership with 
Allentown, Washington Township, and the regional Board of Education.

Six other municipalities were granted funding awards, in the 
following amounts:

• Aberdeen, $169,000 for new and improved access to the waterfront 
at Seawall Park.

• Hazlet, $238,000 for boardwalk, gazebo, and tennis court 
improvements as well as a new skate park area at Veterans? Memorial 
Park.

• Howell, $150,000 for improvements to a 178-acre park, including 
two off-leash dog areas, fountains, benches and fencing.

• Sea Bright, $153,000 for the improvements to an oceanfront park 
including the creation of a concrete skateboard park.

• Sea Girt, $238,000 for a cooperative project with the Board of 
Education to create a new, multi-use play facility to support 
municipal recreation programs.

• Union Beach, $103,000 for Phase 2 of a project to rehabilitate and 
expand Scholer Park.

Land acquisition and development for park recreation and open-space 
purposes are made possible by the Monmouth County Municipal Open 
Space Grant Program, a competitive matching-funds program for 
municipalities sponsored by the Monmouth County Board of Chosen 
Freeholders and administered by the Monmouth County Park System. 
Applications were due Sept. 19.

The county's significant contribution to the Riverdale Avenue East 
acquisition allows us to protect and link nearly five acres of land 
with a state natural area and municipal and school properties, 
Tinton Falls Mayor Peter Maclearie said. This county program is a 
perfect example of the county's willingness to support local 
community efforts to preserve open space and maintain the quality of 
life in Monmouth County.

Applications for the 2008 Monmouth County Municipal Open Space Grant 
Program will be available on or about May 1. The filing deadline 
will be in September.

Glad to see that your legal degree gives you the ability to serve as 
a subject matter expert in opposition to all those academics (also 
know as scientists) who are in overwhelming agreement on this issue.  

You were very critical of Springsteen for commenting on politics - 
which per your argument was not his area of expertise.  So now you 
are more qualified than the scientific community???  Why should you 
ask others to stay out of areas you feel they are not qualified to 
comment on yet you are all-knowing and an expert in everything?

And biodiversity, who needs it. Let's populate the earth with more and 
more humans and build over every last piece of the globe.  And on the 
way, lets kill each other over it.  Because we can, it is our God given 
right.  

In the United States there are about 3000 Rite Aids, that look exactly 
the same.  Is that what we need?  It is just an unnessary repeat at 
this point.

Lastly, conservatives should be conservationists.  Remember that blow

[AsburyPark] House full of stolen bikes

2007-12-19 Thread lindagriggsartist
This past summer and friend and I went to Cookman for drinks. Were
biking home very late and about 3 sheets to the wind.

We passed a house with a garage behind it.  The garage door was open
and on the lawn were about 20 or 30 bikes.  A woman on the lawn was
talking with a man in a white panel truck who was loading the bikes.

It took me till the next morning to realize what I'd seen.  I always
wondered why you never saw your stolen bike locked up somewhere else
in your town.  They were taking them far, far away for resale, I guess. 

I didn't know Asbury very well so I couldn't reconstruct what street I
was on.  

Sure wish I could.

If you do, let me know.

I wouldn't mine going there and offering to buy bike 2 bikes that were 
stolen from me.

Actually, 2 years ago, I had a bike stolen. They kind of waited until I 
agonized and finally purchased it from Peddlars.

I had a good idea who did it. A tenant of mine, in Ocean Twp, not AP.

I even offered the kid $100 to help me find it.

Nothing.

He's got a point there.

It is sometimes seen as an attempt to fend off affordable housing. 
Affordable housing programs in NJ are for the most part, a joke. The 
only reason they do get built is part of an overall development of 
larger homes whereby the developer sues the muni for not meeting the 
requirements.

Or, in a case like AP, where the master developer promised to deliver 
$7m in funds to a city BASED UPON units COMPLETED/Cert Occuppancy.

AP is a city that Monmouth County Parks and Rec  doesn't know about 
or the City lacks the abilty to get funds for.

Look at all those recreation fields in AP

 Education to create a new, multi-use play facility to support
 municipal recreation programs.

...a cooperative project 

This is what ALL muni's have to learn. It's the same goal. 

Not 2 fiefdoms.

Fiefdom:
Fiefdomism can refer to behavior of bureaucrats or small time 
politicians when information or programs are isolated and jealously 
guarded from other bureaucrats or small time politicians in order to 
preserve their power at the expense of making government worse.

The next time you see a family that can't afford a home, or a poorer 
family that can't afford to live in one, make sure you are just as 
sarcastic toward them.

If none of you can see that the issues of setting aside enourmous 
amounts of land in rich towns like Marlboro and Middletown and that 
poorer people can't find places to live are connected, then it's not 
worth discussing it with you.

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/18/opinion/18brooks.html?_r=1hporef=sl\
ogin
Obama is an inner-directed man in a profession filled with insecure
outer-directed ones.
Like most of the rival campaigns, I've been poring over press
clippings from Obama's past, looking for inconsistencies and
flip-flops. There are virtually none.
Moreover, he has a worldview that precedes political positions.
Obama does not ratchet up hostilities; he restrains them. He does not
lash out at perceived enemies, but is aloof from them. In the course of
this struggle to discover who he is, Obama clearly learned from the
strain of pessimistic optimism that stretches back from Martin Luther
King Jr. to Abraham Lincoln. This is a worldview that detests anger as a
motivating force, that distrusts easy dichotomies between the parties of
good and evil, believing instead that the crucial dichotomy runs between
the good and bad within each individual.
Obama does not perceive politics as a series of battles but as a series
of systemic problems to be addressed. He pursues liberal ends in
gradualist, temperamentally conservative ways.
Obama reveals glimpses of the ability to step outside his own ego and
look at reality in uninhibited and honest ways. He still retains the
capacity, also rare in presidents, of being able to sympathize with and
grasp the motivations of his rivals.
The presidency is a bacterium. It finds the open wounds in the people
who hold it.
The person with the fewest wounds usually does best in the White House,
and is best for the country.

So you can then assume(ass u me) that the bikes were stolen not that the

This past summer and friend and I went to Cookman for drinks. Were
biking home very late and about 3 sheets to the wind.

We passed a house with a garage behind it. The garage door was open
and on the lawn were about 20 or 30 bikes. A woman on the lawn was
talking with a man in a white panel truck who was loading the bikes.

It took me till the next morning to realize what I'd seen. I always
wondered why you never saw your stolen bike locked up somewhere else
in your town. They were taking them far, far away for resale, I guess. 

I didn't know Asbury very well so I couldn't reconstruct what street I
was on. 

Sure wish I could.

Go to the mir..er...window.
Yer right, .3334 of a degree is a little less than .4.
But when you look out that window, past rigor's assassin, can't you see 
the errors.
Poisonous exhaust literally choking our atmosphere.
Unholy wars fought over it.
Environmental holocaust around the globe resultant from the mining of 
fossil fuels.
A little common sense can go a long way.

Maybe Gore is wrong about global warming.
Wouldn't surprise me.
But he isn't wrong that these issues aren't poison.

and still has the balls to say... If none of you can see that the 
issues of setting aside enormous
amounts of land in rich towns like Marlboro and Middletown and that
poorer people can't find places to live are connected, then it's not
worth discussing it with you.

C'mon argue with that, because all this money

.Hazlet, $238,000 for boardwalk, gazebo, and tennis court

  Park.
 
  • Howell, $150,000 for improvements to a 178-acre park, including
  two off-leash dog areas, fountains, benches and fencing.
 
  • Sea Bright, $153,000 for the improvements to an oceanfront park
  including the creation of a concrete skateboard park.
 
  • Sea Girt, $238,000 for a cooperative project with the Board of

[AsburyPark] News Conference on Metro

2007-12-19 Thread dfsavgny
City gets points for getting tough. Hope it is a new approach to be
expanded to Asbury Partners et al.


December 19, 2007

Asbury may head to court over delayed high-rise

By NANCY SHIELDS
COASTAL MONMOUTH BUREAU

City officials today announced they have notified Metro Homes
President Dean Geibel that his Hoboken-based company is in default
after Geibel told the city Dec. 7 he was halting construction and
sales of the swanky 224-unit beachfront Esperanza high-rise.

We need Metro Homes to get back to work or get out of the way for
someone else to do the work,'' Mayor Kevin Sanders said at a city
press conference this afternoon. They (Metro Homes) are in violation
of their legal agreement with the city...and they have violated their
commitment to the people of the Asbury Park.''

If the reason for Metro Homes' decision was the slowdown in the
national real estate market, then why are they building in other
towns,'' the mayor said. ''I know that this administration has kept
its commitment to Metro Homes and done everything possible to make
this project a success.''

At the time the shutdown was made public Dec. 10, Geibel said his
company was convinced the ''national mortgage crisis now impacting
real estate markets around the country represents a temporary setback...''

A few hours before today's press conference, Geibel said in a
telephone interview that ''the best thing to say is that Metro Homes
and Dean Geibel are feverishly working to try to get the project back
on track and restarted.''

I can't give more than that right now,'' Geibel said. The point Im
trying to make is that we're still very much committed to the
...rebirth of Asbury Park.''

Glenn Scotland, one of the city's redevelopment lawyers, said the
city's agreement with Metro Homes specifies a 30-day cure period of
the default, although in some cases it could be as much as 120 days.

Our position is 30 days...,'' Scotland said.

According to the letter that Geibel received today, the city said
Metro Homes' was in default because it stopped work unilaterally and
taking that step showed it is unable to finance and construct the
Esperanza.

Metro Homes also is in default because it will now fail to meet
deadlines and timeframes to complete the Esperanza, and was obligated
to make its best effort to construct the project.

And, the city asserted, the redeveloper failed to inform the city of a
change in its financial condition or its capacity to construct the
project until Dec. 7.

It is apparent from the timing and the course of these events that
(the) redeveloper has, for a period of time, had information regarding
its inability to proceed with the construction of the project...,''
the letter said.

The city said Metro Homes did not share that information with city
officials until moments before the stop work order was given.

City officials asked that Geibel start the project back up within 72
hours of getting the letter today, cure all defaults, and provide the
city with a long list of financial information within five days from
being notified.

Specifically, the city's seeking Metro Homes' applications for
financing submitted to lenders, any loan commitments and loan
documentation for the Esperanza, all sales information on contracts or
deposits, all construction costs and expenses
of the project to date, and all liens or encumbrances on the
oceanfront property between Third and Fourth avenues.

The city says the developer must explain why Metro Homes stopped the
Esperanza over other Metro Homes projects, and give a comparison of
Metro Homes' proposed return on investment during the project
development compared to the current proposed return on investment on
the day of the decision to stop work.

Geibel said last week that work was continuing on his other projects
which he has previously described as large condominium developments --
one in Hoboken, and two in Jersey City, one of which he is partnered
with Donald Trump.

Geibel and his partner, Paul Fried, made their interest in Asbury Park
development public in 2004, saying they would take on the failed C-8
steel skeletal site of New England builder Joseph Carabetta who filed
for bankruptcy in the early 1990s and held the city's beachfront
hostage from development until Asbury Partners bought him out in 2001.

Metro Homes came into Asbury Park behind the pioneering subdevelopers
lined up by Asbury Partners -- Paramount Homes, which is completing
its first block north of the Berkeley Hotel, and Westminster
Communities, which has completed its first
block next to Wesley Lake, but appears to be getting out, possibly
with a sale of its project to the city's boardwalk retail developer,
Madison Marquette.

Geibel said last week that Metro Homes had pre-sold about 70 of the
224 Esperanza units. The building is to be two towers, 10 and 16
stories. Two or three stories are visible at this point above ground.

City Manager Terence Reidy said at the press conference that he had
talked with Geibel

Do most legitimate vendors do business after the bars close?  and do
they use plain, white panel trucks?

You're right, I'm just guessing.  And I was drunk.  But when I'm
sober, gaul dang it, I'm not naive. 

BTW, Happy New Year Everybody.

 So you can then assume(ass u me) that the bikes were stolen not

 Subject: [AsburyPark] House full of stolen bikes
 
 This past summer and friend and I went to Cookman for drinks. Were
 biking home very late and about 3 sheets to the wind.
 
 We passed a house with a garage behind it. The garage door was open
 and on the lawn were about 20 or 30 bikes. A woman on the lawn was
 talking with a man in a white panel truck who was loading the bikes.
 
 It took me till the next morning to realize what I'd seen. I always
 wondered why you never saw your stolen bike locked up somewhere else
 in your town. They were taking them far, far away for resale, I guess. 
 
 I didn't know Asbury very well so I couldn't reconstruct what street I
 was on. 
 
 Sure wish I could.

[AsburyPark] Re: News Conference on Metro

2007-12-19 Thread oakdorf
...ok. I made it to the press conference today. Got ot meet John  as well.

My take:

It was nice to see a unified, public response to Metro's work stoppage.

1. I didn't get the chance to ask WHEN did Dean first approach the
city about changing the design - was it Dec 7 - doubtful. So when he
did mention it, did anyone ask WHY? 

2. Nancy Shields kind of asked a few tough questions...

3. I would like to see the Star ledger version of the press
conference. She was pretty good at asking questions - trying to pin
down some dates. On one question - did the city have any conversations
with Dean after the stoppage - Reaidy first said just today. She
pressed and he stuck to it before Johnson spoke up and said they did
have a conference call - the redevelopment committee  - Reidy, Bruno,
and Johnson. They gave the impression that it WAS NOT so friendly - at
least by way of expression.

4. On the issue of performance bonds. Complete bullshit and oversight.
 What private little project doesn't REQUIRE  a bond. Go to build a
house - a bond is required. If AP doesn't do it, they should start. I
actaully did some work to collect developer's bond money - by cllsing
out open issues on projects. Bonding a project insures that the
project is finished as approved - from painting the lines in the
parking lot to landscaping and covers the town costs - engineers,
inspectors etc. THE reason given no PERFORMANCE BOND was required was
WEAK - that they rely on the mortgage company lending out millions of
dollars - don't you think they want the project completed. Yes, of
course they do. Maybe that's what happened here as well. Dpends on how
the money was handed out - was it monthly - based on sales and
material needs or other timelines?? Was the loan(s) made to Metro made
in free money days - now those officers who made those loans laid off,
fired or elect early retirement? 

4. The get tough policy is nice - but you CANNOT force them to
continue - especially if there is NO MONEY to do so. Whose going to
fund it? Can you force metro or the banks to lose $80 million or can
they walk with a $20 million loss (guesses)??

5. Who is going to pay for the litagation which for arguments sale has
begun? Obviously, costs have already been occurred - by city attorney,
dev attorney, engineers etc. To review all the docs requested by the
city will require EXPERTS in various fields to review - accountants,
engineers, attorneys, etc etc. Whose footing the bill?

6. The question of the costs to renovate the sewer plant was raised.
Since it is being bonded by the city - who is stuck with bond
payments. The response was AP Partners is. Are they, if THEY don't
collect? Are they CURRENT on current obligations??

7. On ownership of the property. I'd take my shot at this and say that
PARTNERS does not own the land nor does the city that this project is
being built on. It was purchased by METRO and financed by them. That
is, at least until we see their agreements with Partners and their
lenders. Again, something that MUST be made public i the future.

8. On Springwood Ave, when asked by Nancy Shields - the mayor said
they were here to only discuss ESP. She did note that it has been SIX
years.Actaully Nancy, it's been about 30.

9. The get tough policy has only one problem. That is the legal
system. YOu can stick all these drop dead dates you want, but if it
does wind up in the court room, lets hope its before a judge from the
area and is sick and tired of the crappola. Otherwise, Metro and
whomever else is dragged in, will milk this baby til the time is ripe.

It better be before I'm a grandpa.


LAstly before the meeting as stopped - someone pointed out tht this is
just ONE project in a town that has everything going for it. 

And it does.
