[AsburyPark] Re: Committee Meeting

This is what I asked...

'...State policies encourage Open Government - thats a fact, not theories of
'boogeymen'. What exactly was the fear (in your mind or the committee's) to
having the public witness your deliberations?

Since the public was excluded from 'sitting-in' how does that instill confidence
in the process? Were minutes taken? Are they available?

Why do you think keeping the public out as observers was in the best interests
of Asbury Park? Was something confidential discussed? Did you have to sign a
confidentiality agreement?...'

And your answer is

Well - that clears things up, thank you for such a reasoned and relevant 
response.

PS - Yes I am being condescending and sarcastic how about real answers to 
real questions ?

The fact is - I do have experience that is unique and unmatched. Through my 
research of Asbury Park and decades of public service as both a volunteer and 
as a City Official.

My meetings and discussions with 'Duany, Clark, etc..' gave me a unique insight 
to the crafting of the Redevelopment Plan. You may not like that, you may be 
intimidated by that - I dont know - why such an aversion to learning things?

I know you were not at those meetings - Neither was anyone else on your 
committee. 

In my background as a researcher/scientist - knowledge is respected and sought 
out. Quality and attention to detail to achieve the best results called for 
cooperation in spite of personality quirks or eccentricities.

Its very unfortunate that those values are lacking in Asbury Park.

Demolish the Stone Pony so they can build it back in the same spot just with a 
new building? Bc why would they ever want to just demolish one of the best 
attractions in Asbury??? When I say why I like Asbury, going to see a show at 
the Pony is usually one of the first positive I list!

The townhomes by North Beach? Yes- that is another winning idea! (sarcasm)

Last night between 930 and 10:00 pm I heard a series of... M80s (fireworks)? 
Gunshots? I though first it was fireworks but then it stopped. If it was 
gunshots, it was 8-10 of them and I couldn't tell where they were coming from. 
I don't know what gunshots really sound like well enough to distinguish them 
from fireworks... Did anyone else hear that??? Nothing on APP yet.

No - the implication is that the Pony would not be at that location at all - it 
would be relocated. And the Townhome project is recommended to be killed in 
favor of a park. There was an attempt to make the meeting a rally against the 
Townhomes.

You should read the proposal.

[AsburyPark] Re: Beach Fees after Labor Day?

2011-09-18 Thread cathrynbe2002
for awhile there, wasn't it reversed and there were no fees or they were 
substantially lowered? I don't remember the specifics (or I never knew) of the 
case or what year it was. I'd love to reach up on it. In New York City, all the 
beaches are free (and there *are* beaches at Coney Island and Brighton Beach, 
among others) that people swim in and boardwalks walked on. Of course, I am a 
fan of the Asbury Park and surrounding area's beaches and boardwalk.

  I don't need the boardwalk (and its overpriced overhyped restaurants) to
  enjoy the beach,� nor do I need a lifeguard as I am qualified myself. 
  
  
  Which leads me to my next question, and maybe I am beating a dead horse
  here--why does New Jersey continue to put up with beach fees? No other state
  in the entire country charges for beaches unless they are part of a state
  park. And every state I know provides lifeguards, beach maintenance, etc. as
  part of their state budget. In the most densely populated state in the
  country, there is no excuse for this except poor budgeting.

[AsburyPark] Re: Committee Meeting

2011-09-18 Thread dfsavgny
The issue, in my opinion is that an outdoor concert venue is incompatible with 
residential use. Thus, I believe you have to choose one over the other. Yes 
there is soundproofing etc, but intense entertainment uses are incompatible 
with residences. I dont think you can have residences in the ocean blocks along 
with intense entertainment uses. You have to choose. The Stone Pony can stay 
(the building and be incorporated in a larger development but I think that if 
you want to develop residences on that block then the outdoor performance stage 
has to go to the demolished Casino site. How great it would be to have 
something like the Jones Beach theatre on that site. I only do this for a 
living.

Dont let folks twist what the committee was trying to do. It would have been 
counterproductive to have public in before hand. Even at the meeting the other 
night folks were complaining and discussing issues that had nothing to do with 
what was within the purview or consideration of the committee.

Those trying twist have sour grapes. Been here decades and let their properties 
fall into disrepair and complain about others that try to make improvements.
