[AsburyPark] Wesley Grove

2012-04-13 Thread wernerapnj
Some facts about Wesley Grove that folks may find interesting.

The design of the complex does not conform to the design intent of the 
Redevelopment Plan.

Recall that there was a diagonal street across that block originally -

The plan recommended that it be retained as a public / pedestrian thoroughfare 
to provide walkability between Cookman and Lake Ave and a neighborhood feel.

The plan also specifies that a 'block-face' should incorporate differing 
architecture to alleviate visual monotony in favor of visual interest and 
better scale.

Neither of those 2 important design criteria were met in the final product. 
Wesley Lake has been 'walled-off' by a building with homogeneous features. 
Typical of suburban development.

An opportunity has been lost to use important character defining features of 
Asbury Park in favor of high density construction that is easy to build. The 
specs of the redevelopment plan were ignored.

Note also that Phase 2 (the stump field) will be a replica of Phase 1. 

I wonder if any residents of Wesley Grove have experienced problems with mold / 
mildew ? During construction the project was halted and exposed to the elements 
for a considerable time unprotected from the weather. The exterior sheathing 
turned black...

I wouldn't go as far as to say the design of the stump field will be the same. 
Just because the foundations are layed out a certain way doesn't mean the 
building that gets put up has to look or function the same way.  The stumps 
site will almost certainly contain retail on Cookman (too lucrative a location 
now) and will likely have a different facade design then the current building.

The diagonal street grids are a nightmare for planning and design, and those 
streets didn't do much in terms of pedestrial flow to the lake.  If anything, 
they make the walk to the lake longer but taking you diagonally through the 
site.  The layout now is no different than how the business district of Cookman 
Ave works, and much less confusion to car traffic and pedestrian flow.

As many have said, Wesley Grove's biggest flaw is the lack of retail on 
Cookman.  Sounds like this problem has been realized and will be addressed come 
time to start building again.  I would safely assume at the time it was 
designed, they didn't feel they would be able to lease enough retail to fill 
out a block, so they designed without it.  Much of Cookman (and the boardwalk) 
was still vacant at the time and it wouldn't have made sense for them to build 
retail they couldn't lease.  They did place one small retail bay at the corner 
of Cookman and Heck.

[AsburyPark] Re: Wesley Grove

2012-04-13 Thread wernerapnj
I attended the planning board presentations on the project and Phase 2 is to be 
a duplicate of Phase 1 except for a retail component along Grand Ave, with 
different architecture.

Hopefully the Phase 2 design will be revisited.

My point was that the Redevelopment Plan was largely ignored.

A creative design that works with the diagonal cut throughs could have been 
developed. Yes it would have been more difficult, but having view corridors to 
the Lake and allowing light and air through the block would have been better 
than the monolithic barrier that resulted. The intent was not to make them 
vehicular paths - they were proposed as pedestrian walks with residences 
fronting on them.

Clearly the developers interests are to maximize unit count and develop a 
repetitive design that can be 'mass-produced' to reduce costs. Hence - the 
homogeneous facade and duplicated floor plans and site plans.

As it is, the Lake Ave side has no interface with the street - all the units 
face interior court yards. The sidewalks are extremely narrow and the entire 
look and feel is one of a closed / private development instead of a vibrant 
part of the City streetscape that encourages outdoor activities and interfaces 
with the lake.

Community centric design that embraces public spaces and natural assets such as 
the lake would have been a better direction.

The Phase 3 (north side of Cookman) proposal was also very poor from a 
community design perspective - Blank facades facing the street/sidewalk with 
residential units facing the interior of the block.

Certainly the missing retail on Cookman is an issue - the thought at the time 
was to not compete with the resurgence of downtown as you commented.

That is good news...

The same issue exists for Kingsley Street - The plan currently makes retail 
optional. Considering that the seasonal weather has such a large effect on 
Ocean Ave it would be prudent to mandate retail/ entertainment uses along 
Kingley which is sheltered from the harshness of the oceanfront in the off 
season.

[AsburyPark] Re: Wesley Grove

2012-04-13 Thread arcman210
We all love to hate on developers but can we honestly blame them for wanting to 
maximize the amount they can build?  At the time, the compromise to get rid of 
those streets wound up being a good one because it brought in more ratables 
than it would have otherwise.  

The superblock that was created to the north of Phase 1, on the other hand, is 
terrible planning.  I recall that it was recently determined this needed to be 
broken up come time to develop it.  Thankfully those in charge now realize what 
the right and wrong ways are. 

As for the stumps, it's almost a gaurantee that a new architect will be brought 
in to redesign the new building.  The types of housing being designed in the 
early 2000's arent as marketable anymore.  Couple that with the need for 
retail.  While the footprint may or may not be the same (perhaps we'll see a 
similar concept of townhomes to the south, apartments to the north), the design 
(look, feel, and function) of the building will almost certainly be a different 
one.

Those will definitely be demolished.  The building design is a typical example 
of the worst type of housing layout.  

The land is somewhat valuable because of its location near the train station.  
Would be great to see mixed income housing built there.  Affordable, market 
rate, artist housing, etc.  Tie it in with retail along Memorial/Springwood.  
Could serve as a great anchor for the Springwood Ave Redevelopment and a strong 
connection to the rest of the community.

There are companies that specialize in that type of work.

Mistake one. Attorney for most homes. 

This is dans area...but a good property tax attorney is really good for 
commercial property.  Did you ask the attorney for some history.
I did my own a couple years ago and have to do it again. Its time consuming and 
you get beat up. They tell you just because your house is old and your neigh it 
is new...
You need ammo. In a down market it may work. If you have a nice house and three 
houses around you were recently sold that are similar to yours...don't bother. 
You won't win. You need hard facts. Fact is in AP...mist of your homes are 
undervalued in terms of assessed value. That's a fact St least in my head. And 
I'm honest and I point that out to the few people that approached me about 
buying. Nowthat is why it is cheaper to rent sometimes then to buy. 
Or...buy in Wesley or north beach...support taxes. Still cheaper to rent in 
those but with prices lower now...spending on your goals..you can buy.
Another Wesley grove fact when first concept sales were introduced starting 
price was around 279000 and up. Right then market went crazy and funny things 
happened. 

Doesn't matter. Old boring news.

[AsburyPark] Re: Housing authorities

2012-04-13 Thread oakdorf
Somewhat. Someone has to come in clean off the buildings and not have to go 
through hoops to rebuild. Whatever money they would get should be put into a 
special account overseen by s court appointed trustee. 
Long branch is preparing to demolish another set of apartments...Douglas. but 
they are rebuilding. Fact...even though they rebuild new units ...many problems 
still exist. Problems that exist in many homes maybe even yours. 
I'm a section 8 or voucher landlord as well. So I see the program pretty good. 
I'm all for regionalization of the housing authorities. If the vouchers may be 
transferred...so should management.

One of the last good streets that was waiting to be bought out. Even I had an 
offer on a house there...
Didn't knock myself out bidding.  And your taxes will continue to rise. You 
will eventually be picking up more and more of the school taxes. Good thing 
they didn't piss another 45000 on a blue field. At some point enough is enough. 

I've had three offers in on houses in AP the past year. Out I'd each time and 
not by much.

 Its about time property taxes are levels out on two factors..
 Square footage and lot size and a factor of market value.
 Not your house is pretty or you have an extra bathroom or pretty shutters.
 All one has to do is look around AP. AP has a wide fluctuation for similar 
 properties.  Tax appeals now are available through monmouth county web site. 
 If you think you are paying to much look at your tax bill. You'll need some 
 recent sales to make your case.

I am.  


Some facts.  Some people appreciate the assistance some don't.  Some know how 
to keep a house clean. Some don't.  Some who can't think really know the system 
and how to live 30 years or more off assistance. Some landlords are good others 
suck.  I have five tenants getting assistance.  I get about 80 percent of my 
rent direct.  The tenant pays the rest.  Some more some less.  Not everyone 
getting help is bad.  I'd rather help good people in tough situations vs 
bailing out someone who overpaid for their house boat and cars and sod. 

Another fact.  Section 8
Inspects each home every year.  Called housing quality standards.  Landlord 
could have rent withheld if repairs aren't made. So it's up to inspectors.  
I've had good luck.  And smart tenants.  

There's programs to turn vouchers to mortgage payments.  How many have taken 
that and run with it.  

The program has major major flaws for sure.  Don't ever say never.  You're best 
friend may come knocking one day with a voucher Or their kid.  So you give 
up a few $ and got a notch higher in he'll. 

I spent a month cleaning up after a tenant mutually agreed to move With 
voucher to Florida.  Some people know the system. 

So I hauled her trash and cleaned and cleaned.  Schmuck.

   Give  all these useless dregs of society; who have been milking the

   dry for  decades.vouchersand tell them to get the hell 
   out.And 
   then tear  the shit hole down..And you can repeat the same damn 
   process for  Lincoln Village.So my dear friend Watkins owns Section 8 
   bombs...I thought  he owned mansions in Rumson, Deal, Sea Girt and Spring 
   Lakeanother slum  lord...That's not the way Asbury Park was 50 
   years 
   ago!..When we  got inundated with low income housing the place 
   went to 
   hellI blame Ray  Kramer to a large degree.Somehow we became a 
   last 
   ditch charity  dumping ground..Have you noticed my dear friendz, the 
   middle class in this  country are being wiped out.For Asbury Park to 
   succeed 
   in the long  run..we absolutely need to dramatically decrease the 
   'poor' 
   population in  this city.Call it 'Social Darwinism' if you 
   want.but 
   welcome to the  real worldWe need to do whatever it takes to make 
   this city work...  ..and the dead wood needs to go.Now what about 
   paving 
   Main Street and  building a new Firehouse..Thank 
   you...hossesand

Let me say this.fuck slumlordsThe absolute worst thing that ever 
happened in Asbury Park was allowing property owners of magnificent stately 
homes...to chop them up into MDU'sMultiple dwelling units.They should 
have been shotThey should have remained single family 
homes!Disgusting!!!I would like to see our code enforcement staff 
go after these  landlords with avengance.And if so much as one light bulb 
is out.fine the shit out of themMake their lives so miserable they 
sell...and leave.And turn them back into single homes...Crush them, and 
any other other property owner not maintaining their asset!The USA is 
falling apart...the party is overWE CAN'T SAVE EVERYONE!!!I do know 
good landlords...and they spend half their time in court chancing assholes who 
play the system and have no intention of paying rentConcerning 
Memphis...home of Sun RecordsI have been on Beale Street several 
timesMemphis is a dump!!!...You can buy a mansion, on a one acre corner 
lot, with an inground swimming poolfor less than $300,000That was 5 
years ago!!!Probably much lower nowlook at Detroit!!!...The south is a 
mess..look at Atlanta...South Florida and many other areasDeadTime 
to take the gloves off friendz...If ya wanna save Asbury Parkya gotta a

There's been great coverage of his housing voucher recipient's are now taken up 
residence in once gated communities...with their own swimming pool etc bought 
on my the foreclosure crisis...think it was a 60 minute story. 

Removing housing stock by demolishing the old projects is an effort to 
mainstream tenants via the voucher idea. In twenty five years overall...my non 
section 8 tenants have been equal or worse. My best tenants...those that rented 
and never moved in but paid rent. My guess is the schools...then.  
Landlording sucks unless you have what it takes. And bought right..as in low to 
cover.
Taxes will never go down.

Years of closed eyes.
Ocean township is now charging landlord 150 for a co inspection for a house 100 
for apartment. Then 150 for something new..landlord registration statement 
which is required by the stateor 75 for a renewal annually.new. ha. All I 
said when they told me. Ha.
Then 35 for. Fire inspection. Never complain about giving fire department a 
fee. Takes balls.
AP should look at fees. It really won't deter landlords. Inspection's do.

Why griffin mercury Esperanza nj gas and many other buildings now 
workbankruptcy. 
Add in the Esperanza site all the engineering and foundation work for less 
then a quarter amount of actual costs. Merc a third. 

Failure paves the way for successful development.

Stealing a pair of sneakers...jail. 

Failing in planning development means bankruptcy and moving on to your next 
project.

Metro homes even sold their ground floor office in asbury Grande.

No jail for whatever his name was. But the kid in AP who fails...another story.
