FYI, the piece of shit Esperanza is 30 million dollars of sunk cost by a 
developer.  you don't just make that go.  There are interested parties in 
taking over that parcel and actually building something there but price (bid 
ask spread) and legal hold things up.  
What the city should do is see what leeway if any it has to force some 
resolution to that parcel.  

Seperate point.  MM has tried very hard to turn some of the empty lots along 
kingsly into temporary parking but has been challenged on the legality of it 
and whether the lots will be code.  When they applied for special event 
permits to put parking there on very crowded nights, they were summarily 
dismissed by the town.

2010-07-21 Thread dapawprint

All valid points.  As a visitor, my ability is limited.  The lot on Kingsley is 
referred to by The City as the staging area.  I have personally approached 
(several times) the mayor and the deputy mayor with regard to that lot.  I was 
told that the lot would be cleaned up.

It is my understanding that, historically, that lot had always been parking.  
It is quite possible that it is zoned for exactly that.  Zoning is a matter of 
public record.  Again, my ability is limited as I primarily visit on the 
weekends.  Would one or more of you be willing to visit the code enforcement 
office at 1 Municipal plaza to obtain the zoning records for that lot as well 
as the Esperanza lot?

While you are at it, it might also be interesting to see what code violations 
have been issued to those properties (also public record.)

Code enforcement seems to have no problem issuing violations for cracked 
sidewalks outside of your residences, sandwich boards outside of your 
restaurants, etc.  (Look at Werner!)  It is reasonable to believe that there 
*SHOULD* be violations on these properties.  Amongst many things, broken 
fencing, damaged and non-existent sidewalks come to mind.

Knowledge is power. If a concerted effort is to go fourth on rectifying these 
abominations, the facts must be known.  For this effort to succeed, one or more 
of you need to do some data collection.  Then follow up at a council meeting 
and by making formal complaints to code enforcement.

I did, as I suggested, make a telephone call to code enforcement regarding the 
staging area.  I received voice mail.  Since I believe that Mr. Grey is still 
out on a paid leave while he defends his conduct unbecoming charge, I will 
also send a written complaint to Asbury Park City Hall, One Municipal Plaza, 
Asbury Park, NJ 07712, ATTN: Code Enforcement.  I urge you to do the same.

I have been following up with the City Council for many months now on that 
staging area, a little backup would be nice.

Jack is correct, nothing will be accomplished by complaining to ourselves.

[AsburyPark] Re: The Esperanza and the lot behind the Empress

2010-07-21 Thread oakdorf
The lot behind the empress WAS always a parking lot. haul away the crap and 
make money - unless you'd rather keep parking limited in instead of getting $10 
or $20 a pop, you get $5.  People may rather pay $5 to park in a lot vs the 
meter depending on their day -it's easy to park and go or park west of 
Kingsley...


They used to get $10 back in the late 70's there - $180 for the season per spot 
for a boardwalk concession - 

You don't want to blacktop everything either - things that are temporary 
suddenly become permanent. 

Plant grass, maintain it and only park on major event days. level it, grass it 
and maintain it. It will look better then dirt and crushed gravel which is what 
you see 95% of the time those lots are empty and not contributing any tax.

[AsburyPark] What makes for BW success during the day?

I just got back from the BW for a nice walk and some food.

1. SPLASH PARK - fairly priced - hot weather and fun for KIDS. KIDS.

2. MINI GOLF - KIDS KIDS with parents. KIDS with camp.

So what were the parents doing who weren't at the Splash Park - eating. The kid 
comes running back ma, can I get a $1.00 pack of oreos - 

It's also nice to see some places trying to lure you in with beer and drink 
specials. Finally.

I wish MM didn't go to bed with Pepsi. I like choice. Give me a coke - and no 
plastic please.

AP still doesn't lure in crowds during the weekdays.

The Jersey apartments are literally falling apart.  The window fell out and

So, where are our team members?  Honestly, we only need a few at this point:  
One person to investigate whether or not code violations have been issued (all 
over the City), one person to get the current zoning of the properties and one 
person to go to a Council meeting.  The rest of us need to make official 
complaints to the code enforcement department (and maybe the City Manager?)  
Violations either cause compliance or fines - even sometimes jail time.  
Remember, the City needs money.  If our pal Werner can do jail time and pay 
$19k in fines, these other violators should do the same.  I have pursued the 
clean-up of the lot behind the Empress Hotel.  Whom else is pursuing anything 
else; or are we still simply complaining to each other?

Hmmm?  Maybe not generic AP luring crowds.   But more than  a few 
businesses are.  More so than in a long, long  time.   Hard to find parking  
(convenient parking   lol)  9-10 pm on a Tuesday night along Cookman and Ocean

That's NIGHT. I'm talking day business. Sure the ones that serve drinks and 
nice lunches do ok - they bread and butter is night during the week and 
weekends all day.

But I guess I still think about the day business - they USED to say the day 
traffic pays the bills and the nights are profit.

that was then. 

I was at biggies at lunch (around 1:30)  - just me. mayfair had no one  - sure 
there were people on the beach but not tons.  And there was plenty of parking. 

I look at it as when I was in business on the boardwalk and what we'd look for 
- from 7 am to midnight.

It's a different time we live in today. 

It's not a generic AP - more so a good mix of daytime activities in the summer 
(camp business) for golf and splash park and beach. That brings in parents etc. 

It's not everyday in AP you get 10,000 people  - you have to (if you want to) 
think broader - night just from 9-10 pm. Whoever ventured to stay open for the 
late night crowds this weekend didn't complain -other then being tired.

Regardless - I'm enjoying it for what it is - and so do my kids ):
