[AsburyPark] The Defacing of Asbury Park

2013-01-07 Thread wernerapnj
Reading a post on the Asbury Park Sun today reminded me of a threat the City 
has been facing for decades... The defacement of its vintage and historic 
structures.

The damage is incremental and hardly noticed until it reaches a critical mass 
and adversely effects the character of the community.

Some notable examples.

 - A classic brick residential/commercial building at 6th and Main; painted.

- The former North Asbury Park RR Station at Memorial Dr. of brick and exposed 
wood beams; painted.

- A brick building at Summerfield and Emory; painted

- The Windor Building at Main and Bangs, a historic site; painted, antenna 
dishes, inappropriate commercial facades.

- The Arthur Pryor Pavilion; stuccoed over, painted, remodeled.

- Many classic brick Main St. buildings; stuccoed over, painted, inappropriate 
storefronts, etc...

Stucco, paint, inappropriate storefronts, remodeling

The clasic, historic look and feel of Asbury Park is being erased in a slow 
steady assault.  

The Sun posting has a photo of a beautiful brick commercial building with 
inappropriate signage covering what should be transom windows, a character 
defining feature of the building.

This board has been inactive for so long, but at least my concerns are now part 
of public record...

Who gave the order that it's okay to deface buildings
for lack of a better word?  Board of adjustment? Planning Board? Who?
The reelecting of the SAME players each election speaks volumes!
Who are the culprits?  Can someone name NAMES?  Werner has been more
than our eyes, ears and spoke out only to be ostracized, thrown in jail, made 
to look like a kook, which MOST of us know he isn't?
I have to admit, the fight has gone out of me, too!

Is anybody out there thank can beat City Hall?  The only people that suffer 
here are US!  Thanks Werner!

[AsburyPark] Taxes

2013-01-07 Thread oakdorf
Do some homework. The state if nj has a study in abutments. One noted 
issue...schools being excluded. City benefits IF controlled right. City should 
then make payments to schools. Schools state funds will be reduced. Burden then 
shifts to taxpayers. No kids or one hundred. You avoid the fact that support 
for schools comes down to property owners. Most the country. If you can't 
afford the schools and the state cuts. Then what close the schools. Story now 
on half hollow schools in nj. Highest taxes in state or near so. Another report 
shows its. 26 year point where schools begin to receive money. Lots if studies.

Its also shown that abatements are used in what becomes a wealthy area vs used 
to develop lower income areas. You make more money using abatements when you 
build upper income .geniuses. brilliant co istar.

Nice to see some improvements in the streetscspes since istar got going.
