[AsburyPark] Try the new COTIJA on Main St. in AP - It's great!
Try the new COTIJA on Main St. in AP - It's great! http://www.cotijalatinflavors.com/ Last night we ate at Cotija on Main St. in AP. This restaurant has been around for several years serving authentic Mexican dishes and incredible dollar tacos. However, it recently underwent a substantial makeover and has made a transformation to an elegant Latin dining establishment. With new decor, lighting and a revamped menu, the owner, Arturo Montoya has rebranded this hidden gem as Cotija - Latin Flavors. As part of the upgrade, Cotija is going to have a variety of unique dishes from a number of Latin American locales, in addition to great Mexican cuisine. We started with fresh empanadas with Oaxaca cheese and zucchini flowers, and also an order of sopes pastor, which are like thick tortillas with a roasted pork and pineapple topping. For an entree we ordered marinated skirt steak with sauteed shrimp (ask for a side of homemade chimichurri sauce for the steak!) The special was roasted pork ribs with vegetables in a Mexican broth. Side dishes included rice, beans and sweet plantains. Even though we couldn't finish all of the entrees (that's lunch today), we still tried the homemade flan, which was great. All of the food was great and very reasonably priced...and Cotija is BYOB. We liked it so much that we told Arturo, the owner that we would let our neighbors know about it. I'll post the same to Nextdoor.com. Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Re: Roughly 400 properties in AP are tax exempt - $63 million assessed value
It's not a selective tax for the resident. That would be contrary to state tax policy. Rather, an abatement program is an option for troubled cities or areas to use financial tools to spur investment and development. The choice is that of the City, not the resident, to implement the plan. Nobody is suggesting that anyone can choose their way out of paying for school taxes. That's the state's choice, under THEIR redevelopment law, and the City's choice to implement that option, in pursuit of a goal that benefits everyone, statewide. (Keep in mind that AP was, and still is, a net drain on state resources, which is why the state would have an interest in spurring redevelopment. We can discuss all day whether this is the optimal solution, but that's a choice that the state and City have made.) And by the way, the mechanisms of property tax are not uniform nationally...it's generally a state issue that is decided differently by each state. To your point about $84,000 assessed valuations, keep in mind that those values are generally about 1/3 of the estimated value, due to the fact that a revaluation has not been done in so long. Once the revaluation is done, we should all have a true idea of actual assessed value being equal to market value. In the meantime that discount rate distorts the issue on its face. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, oakdorf oakdorf@... wrote: Thanks for the response. Neither one of us are right. That being said - 1. the structure of the property tax in the US is not to be a selective method of picking and choosing what services are used - like the school system. I heard that argument before from people in deal, colts neck interlaken and ap. So you send your kid to private school, therefore you shouldn't pay local school taxes OR - I have no kids, therefore I shouldn't pay school tax... Well, based on that logical thought, I should no longer pay school tax of about $7,000 year on my home and another $36,000 on my rentals, however a couple of tenants ahve kids then using that logic, someone in AP with two kids should pay $48,000 year in taxes to cover the cost of their kids attending school. So you see what the problem with the logic is. That's why EVERY property is supposed to pay school tax if they have a school system. As for trash pickup - that was a smart move by condo boards not so long ago - that they are paying for all services in their taxes. Howev er, the flip side of that is many development (not sure about wesley) were given approvals to build high density and provide their own services - kind of like a tax abatement . That was the deal to get the approvals. That is usually done with the developer who builds, gets their cash, turns it over to the association who then sues. That post was a follow up to the comment and acceptance that a single family home in AP is assessed at $84,000 - it ain't right. Do some more homework, your facts aren't correct either.

[AsburyPark] Re: Roughly 400 properties in AP are tax exempt - $63 million assessed value
That is perhaps one of the most ignorant and misleading posts I've read here in a lng time, at least with regard to the properties in the redevelopment zone. The properties in the redevelopment zone show up on the tax rolls as exempt not because they don't PAY taxes, but becuase they pay Asbury Park under an contractual abatement plan called a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes, or PILOT. Contrary to the implied message in your post, these properties, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, actually pay more dollars to the City every single year than equivalently valued properties that pay traditional taxes. How could this be, you ask? Simple: unlike traditional taxes, where the City only keeps 55 cents of every dollar paid in municipal taxes (the rest is split between the county and state school financing), under the PILOT scheme the City keeps 95 cents of every dollar it collects. So, for example, if a house valued at $500,000 pays $4000 to the City in traditional taxes, the City actually only keeps $2200 of that money. On the other hand, from the same property paying $5000 under a PILOT plan, the City would keep $4750, DOUBLE THE AMOUNT. And, to be clear, the homes in the redevelopment zone pay approximately the same dollar amount under the PILOT plan that an equivalently-valued, non-redevelopment zone property pays in property taxes. In other words, there is no real discount to the homeowner for a home in the redevelopment zone, but the City keeps more money. Now before anyone goes off on a conspiracy theorist rant that these abatement plans are somehow convoluted, tainted or being surreptitiously carried out to the detriment of other Asbury Park taxpayers, you can look up all the regulations governing long-term tax abatements under the New Jersey statutes: Local Housing Redevelopment Law NJSA 40A:12A66 - Tax abatement in lieu of taxes for redevelopment areas. AND Long term tax exemption law - N.J.S.A. 40A:20-1 et seq. There are times when some of the PILOT participants have discussed opting out of the abatement plan and paying regular taxes. Go ahead and ask the City leaders - they absolutely would not want that, because they would lose substantial income. What's more, at least at Wesley Grove, there is NOT ONE KID in the school system using up those precious resources. Add to that the fact that those buildings are new and modern, which means they are less of a risk and burden to the City fire department. Finally, the Wesley Grove condo association PAYS for private trash pickup, even though it has the right to demand that the City do so, thus saving the City even more money. BOTTOM LINE: The City makes more money, dollar for dollar or by any other reasonable measure, from the residential redevelopment properties than from traditional taxpaying properties. Are you beginning to understand why I stated that your post was one of the most ignorant and misleading that I have ever seen on this forum? --- PS - On a related note, why is it that the word condo seems to be so vilified? It is merely a form of ownership, usually in adjoining or closely built structures. It's a form of property ownership that facilitates dense, economically and environmentally sound development, of the type and density that is preferred by progressive urban planners. The word says nothing about those who choose to live in a condominium, except that they are owners who chose to live in close proximity to their neighbors, and who agree to work collectively to manage their property. Just curious. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, oakdorf oakdorf@... wrote: Condos in Redev zone (N Beach, Wesley Grove), some on cookman...

[AsburyPark] Re: Istar-city tax deal...it's all about the kids
Under most of the abatement plans I have seen in this city, the City is actually receiving MORE than its fair share of the revenue, meaning that the City is collecting substantially MORE than it would receive under a traditional property tax scheme. Meanwhile, I have seen repeated examples where the taxpayers under the City's PILOT plan are actually paying MORE than they would under traditional property taxes for similar assessed values. Where is the incentive to invest in those cases? Werner, you are right that a properly-functioning abatement plan can have the dual effect of lower taxes for the property owner and higher revenues for the City, relative to traditional taxes. However, in many cases in AP, the result is lopsided in favor of the City. In any case, these abatement plans are putting properties back into the revenue stream that have been generating NEXT TO NOTHING in tax revenue for decades.

ASBURY PARK Two city teenagers who are dating and were reported missing by their mothers since Sunday night have been sighted in Bradley Beach, Asbury Park police Capt. Anthony Salerno said Thursday. Police have not located the young couple yet and are continuing to search for them. But the information received Thursday the first word all week about the whereabouts of 16-year old Evelyn Riano and 18-year-old Edwin Aparicio helped dispel some concern that they may have come into harm's way. We have received information there may have been a plan to run away together, Salerno said. Riano has not been back at her school or job, as with Aparicio at his two jobs, Salerno said. Riano's mother reported her missing Sunday night when she did not return from her job as a retail clerk at Super Discounts on Main Street. She had left an hour early at 7 p.m. Aparicio's mother reported him missing on Monday, saying he had last been seen on Sunday as well.

Capt. Anthony Salerno said that Evelyn Riano, 16, of the 500 block of Fifth Avenue, was reported missing by her mother at 10:20 p.m. Sunday night. Maria Riano, the mother, said that her daughter did not return from work at Super Discounts, 700 Main St., where she is a retail clerk. She had left work around 7 p.m., Sunday police said. Evelyn Riano had sent a text to her boyfriend that day, breaking off their relationship, Salerno said. She is a student at St. Rose High School, Belmar. Police have been searching all the places Evelyn Riano was known to frequent, including with family and friends, Salerno said. At 8 p.m. Monday, the boyfriend, Edwin Aparicio, 18, of the 800 block of Main Street, was reported missing by his mother, Teresita Aparicio, Salerno said. She said her son was distraught because he found out his girlfriend was missing. He said he wanted to take a walk and clear his head but did not return home. He works at two restaurants in Bradley Beach, Vic's and Fins, police said. Evelyn Riano was last seen wearing a gray hooded Aeropostale sweatshirt, blue jeans and black sneakers, Salerno said. Edwin Aparicio was wearing a black work T-shirt with Vic's logo on it, a brown hooded sweatshirt, black jeans and white sneakers. The families have had no further communication with either teen. Information has been entered into the National Crime Information Center database, Salerno said. Police released a photo of Evelyn Riano but did not yet have one of Aparicio, Salerno said.

For the second time in a week since president Remond Palmer was forced off the board because of a long ago cocaine conviction, members opposed to Palmer walked out of a meeting Tuesday night before the opposition could appoint a new member to preserve that Palmer majority. As it now stands, the 9-member board has two vacancies and the seven sitting members split four to three. The current fight is over filling the vacant seat that had been held by city Police Sgt. Connie Breech who resigned in June. If the three members opposed to the Palmer majority can get that seat, it brings the power struggle back to four against four to fill the last seat vacated by Palmer. Last week, two members in the minority left before the meeting so there was not a quorum and the majority could not appoint Qzeena Taylor, a Union Avenue resident who had never attended a board meeting but was told by Palmer to attend the meeting. This week, the meeting got underway but as the majority led by vice president Geneva Smallwood once again attempted to appoint Taylor to the board, the state fiscal monitor Lester Richens working in the district said the board had lost its opportunity to appoint Taylor because 65 days has passed since Breech resigned. Now, under law, the appointment is in the hands of the executive county superintendent, Richens said. Alan Schnirman, the board attorney whom Palmer brought on to fight the majority's causes this past spring, urged the board members to go ahead and make the appointment. Otherwise, they could lose that right, he said. The law is what the law is but it is always open to interpretation,'' Schnirman said. As the board majority started to make the appointment, the three opponents Gregory Hopson, Gregory Brewington and Sheila Brazile all opponents to the majority, left the meeting and the meeting was over.

The thieves stole their new washer/dryer, dishwasher, and tried to take the stove but it wouldn't fit through the door. I was away for the weekend and the neigbhor's primary residence is in Manhattan. No one saw a thing, or at least -- no one called police. The contractors working on the house discovered the burglary Monday morning. Last night, I was out on my deck with 2 friends, and 2 men entered the (same) neighbor's backyard and walked up to the back door as if they lived there. As I called the police, my friend said to them, Excuse me, sir? What are you doing there? You don't live there. One of the men said, I'm checking on it for them... I'm checking the door... I work for the City... Police arrived within minutes and spoke to the 2 men, who supposedly live on Prospect behind me. I do not know the outcome of their conversation, but believe me -- my neighbors did not ask these two to check on the house. So the moral of the store is: if something doesn't look right, it probably isn't. CALL THE POLICE. The increased presence will hopefully get the message across to would-be burglars...

[AsburyPark] Re: Paid parking on 1st Ave. is a complete failure with an unexpected consequence
I noticed how empty your block was last weekend. However, I have a different perspective. 2nd Ave on the 200 block was always packed with residents as well as the visitors who didn't want to pay and didn't have a problem walking one short block. Now that the metered parking is in place, the visitors are now utilizing the 300 block and Bergh freeing up parking in front of my building. I did notice your car parked in a numbered space at some point over last weekend. Did you get a permit or are they not enforcing it on 1st? --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, Hinge hinge98@... wrote: If you go down to the 200 block of 1st Ave any day this week and last weekend, what you'll now see is a block of empty, unused parking spaces. And on Sat and Sunday, my predictions were 100% correct. All the 1st Ave. spaces were empty and available, and Bergh was packed wall to wall from AP Ave to 3rd Ave. Meanwhile, the city put a sign pole up 2 weeks ago on the curb in front of my house, and for 2 weeks it stands there without a sign. I'd love to know how much the meter on my block costs, and I bet it will never be paid off based on what my neighbors and I are observing. Another big problem is that I now live on a block that doesn't have cars parked in front of the only 3 houses on the block, making our homes appear to be unoccupied at night. This would help explain the increase of seeing the APPD trying to track down criminals that have been seen around my home. This has now been repeated 3 times in the past 2 weeks. So, why should I pay $30 to have my choice of 100 empty parking spaces that will stay that way for a vast majority of the year?

So if you have a requirement that you need x number of spaces per unit, the developer should have to include it in the rent.

[AsburyPark] Re: Parking lines on 1st Ave. btwn Kingsley and Bergh
It was my understanding that the permit charges were going to be in the $15 dollar range. The charge will be to cover costs associated with the printing of the permit. Hey, look on the bright side. I noticed that there were many empty paid parking spots last summer, yet the parking was unavailable on the Kingsley/Berg block. It was taken by people who didn't want to pay or the kids who work on the boardwalk. I'm guessing this summer, this group will be moving up one block to take advantage of free parking and this will open parking spaces in the new zone. A.P. hasn't finalized the plan. I believe there will be a meeting about it the week of the 18th. I will post the details when I hear them. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, Hinge hinge98@... wrote: Are you sure that I'll have to pay?

[AsburyPark] Re: Has anyone seen a snow plow yet
So what you're saying is, if someone has a job as a paramedic, heart surgeon or air traffic controller, they should just stay home until city, county and state governments mount an adequate response to the snow? While I agree with your point about taking action instead of complaining, this is one case where the government response to an important need was inadequate. For example, Route 35 in Ocean Township looked like a war zone, even at 11 pm on Tuesday. At the same time, the parking lots of the Monmouth Mall, Wegman's, and even Red Lobster were all infinitely better than the state highway. Why are these private enterprises so much more capable of clearing the snow? ...and I'm a fairly liberal Democrat, but I can admit when the public sector F's up. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, Hinge hing...@... wrote: It's amazing to me that so many people these days are anti-government, but when it doesn't work for them personally, it's the first thing they blame for their troubles.

But honestly, the amount of bitching about this snowstorm is ridiculous. It will be past history in a few days. Not life changing for a vast majority of us. If anything, it should be life changing in the way that it should teach each and every one of us to be prepared. If you have plenty of food and water, then unless it's life or death you should stay home, not drive, and let the streets be cleaned ASAP. But no, people don't prepare, they try and drive, get stuck, and block progress. Right now, there's a taxi stuck on Main St. in AP, right in the middle of the street, for at least the past 12 hours.

You think these landlords don't know that they're renting to criminal deadbeats? If the market for that kind of lousy tenant dried up, the bad tenants would need to find somewhere else to live.
