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.

 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.

[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.

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.

Land WITH approvals is worth a ton more then land without approvals.
That's another whole way of investing - buy land or groups of
properties and getting the approvals and selling off the project -
without ever banging a nail. It's all political, legal and engineering
costs to get the approval.

I think the worst part of Wesley Groves design are those courtyards on the 
southern side. 
Everything is way too close together, and everybodies windows look in on each 
other. No 
privacy at all unless you want to draw all the curtains. It's also really ugly 
to look at from the 
Ocean Grove side.

The whole thought process fromt he boardwalk into cookman/lake ave has

Who designs something NOT to have water view? Then again, look at

  is that a joke? im guessing it is.  clearly, the allegded buyer would 
continute the project.  just like the c8 buyers started off with plans to 
reuse what they aquired.  that still is a mystery to me.  even after it was 
said that c8 couldnt be saved.  they STILL used the plans for the current 
project that was based off the existing c8!  if c8 was never there to begin 
with, i dont think it would have been designed the way we see it today.

  interesting idea, but im not sure thats the case.  new developer taking over, 
or the same one, i think the work is going as fast as it can.  the whole thing 
is pretty much done, isnt it?  drywall, lights and floors?thats pretty much 
it.  i think their waiting on something.  (waiting for someone else to take

that needs to be done, and this is the time when it should be done.  the

Dan reports that there is a rumor they are looking to bail.  Lets not forget 
how worng his sources are.
   
  oh ok, thats the answer to the question i just asked in my last post.  i 
think its clear their waiting on a certain company to do the drywall and 
interior work.  EVERYTHING else possiable is being done.   meaing, everything 
else that can be done is being done.  INSTEAD of waiting around doing nothing.

Hey, i'm just calling it like I see it. I've lived in AP in direct view of 
Weasley Grove for a year 
now. That project should've been completed by now. Every morning when I walk my 
dog 
near there, I see maybe a handful of workers, mostly doing nothing. For a 
project like that 
to take more then a year to be completed is pretty sad.
   
  you sound like an observer.  do you really have a place to stand and say 
that should have been done a year ago?  people said teh same thing about 
north beach. just a month or two ago.  drastic changes come, and they come 
fast.  north beach went from looking no where near being done, a month later, 
totally almost being completed.  its understandable people want things done, 
and they want them done.  but thats not how things work.  ANYWHERE.

I absolutely have a place to say that. Prior to moving to AP, I lived
in Edgewater, which is up north on the Hudson, directly across from

No, not projects in NYC, in New Jersey...in Edgewater and Cliffside
Park. Not only were those projects completed faster, but they were
also up against much more significant geological challenges. Edgewater
is literally below Cliffside Park, which is up on top of the
Palisades. There were housing projects there that needed major
demolition to the rock cliffs to be done before beginning the actual
construction. 
Maybe i'm very wrong about Weasley Grove. It just seems strange to me
that it's still not finished, and there is hardly any activity going

Gotcha Bad Santa. I do know. See below. You are forgiven for 
doubting my powers.

Hardiplank fiber-cement exterior siding is a durable, attractive 
alternative to traditional wood composite, cedar, vinyl, brick or 
stucco sidings. Combining the look and warmth of natural wood with 
the durability of fiber-cement, Hardiplank resists damage from 
extended exposure to humidity, rain, snow, salt air and termites. It 
is dimensionally stable and under normal conditions will not crack, 
rot or delaminate. Hardiplank installs just as easily as natural 
wood siding - but offers a lifetime of low maintenance backed by a 
50-year product warranty. Ideal for residential and light commercial 
applications, Hardiplank lap siding is available factory primed in 
four attractive profiles. A variety of widths provide regional 
design flexibility. 

The Benefits 
The Warmth of Wood, the Durability Of Fiber-Cement 
50-Year Transferable Warranty 
Resists Moisture Damage 
Low Maintenance 
Won't Crack, Rot Or Delaminate 
Withstands Termite Attack 
Non-Combustible

Hardiplank is a brand name for that type of material manufactured by 
Dura-Tech/Certain Teed, one of the largest building manufacturers. I 
don't know for certain if in fact Westminister is using that exact 
product, or if in fact there are other manufacturers of similar 
materials. When I examined it up close on Sunday (actually picking up 
some samples from a pile on the ground) that's what it appeared to be. 
I want to be clear just so I do not mislead anyone.

[AsburyPark] Re: Wesley Grove Townhouses - a fast buck project

2006-01-30 Thread Skip Bernstein
…a closer… You can take issue with the design, grouping and the use,
however, it is not true that they are being built in a substandard
manner or with cheap materials. The windows are all good quality Pella
…exterior trim and clapboards are not aluminum or vinyl, but a
substantial composite material… embossed with a raised wood grain.
[and my buddy Charlie] cheap buildings are built with 2 by 4s…
notice, how wesley lake us sing 2 by 6s, giving way for extra
insulation.  the windows are not cheap… that fiber board that was
mentioned before… was used on the cookman ave remodels.

Design speaks volumes of intent; you can use a few brand name products
to fool most of the people some [or much] of the time, but design
ought nag even the most gullible and cause them to ask `where else are
these guys scrimping'?  

Pella's a good brand; the particular units chosen are at or near the
bottom of their price list; siding of a substantial composite material
is better [maybe] than vinyl and 2x6's are structurally stronger and
allow for greater insulation than 2x4's, but represent roughly 10% of
the cost of construction.  

Wesley Grove is a fast buck project of cheaply designed, run of the
mill cookie-cutter townhouses.  They sit on dirt acquired for
$4,000/unit, it is my understanding that Kushner was/is an insider,
participating in the overall profitability of Asbury Partners; whether
or not, at most land cost is $70,000/unit, the harbingers of what will
be the final product suggests to me construction costs of, at maximum,
roughly $150/sq. ft., if the average unit is 1500 ft., we arrive at
$225,000 plus land 70,000 = $295,000.  

Nice numbers when you can sell some of the people this crap for $6 –
900,000 a pop.



exactly, at least someone is acutally looking at what is being built
there.  and not running their mouths, talking things that are not
true.  cheap buildings are built with 2 by 4s, leaving less room for
insultation.  notice, how wesley lake us sing 2 by 6s, giving way for
extra insulation.  the windows are not cheap, anderson would have been
the cheapest way to go.  that fiber board that was mentioned before,
is the exact same product that was used on the cookman ave remodels. 
go figure, no one complained about it being used there.

 Considering the discussion of this development over the past fews 
 days, I decided to take a closer look myself this morning. I walked 
 over and into the site, went in a few units and clsoely examined 
the 
 construction and the materials. You can take issue wirh the design, 
 grouping and the use, however, it is not true that they are being 
 built in a substandard manner or with cheap materials. The windows 
are 
 all good quality Pella windows and the entire exterior trim and 
 clapboards are not alumininum or vinyl, but a substantial composite 
 material, I think perhaps of masonry of cement base. The clapboards 
 are embossed with a raised wood grain. Overall I believe it is good 
 quality.

"Shot Wesley Lake townhouses this morning from Lake Ave.,sorry Charlie they're drek."you dont have to appologize to me, everyone has their own oppinions! and most likly, there going to be different!..and if your going to quote me, try to use the whole thing, not just the part that "looks good" "The townhouses on Wesley lake dont look too bad. Also, keep in mind when you drive down lake ave., your looking at the "back" of the townhouses. Lake ave wont be a main road, once its closed off a block outward east (assuming that still happens)."so what this is saying is, once they are completed, they wil be tucked behind the higher cookman ave condos, not asvisiable as they seem in the
 present.people wont bedriving in that direction as much, and you wont notice them from the cookman ave side. and for the people that drive near them to live in them, well theymost likly will like their sites, being they live in one ofthem. i dont think they look bad from the oceangrove side, they look like seperate buidlings from a distance. these are meirly oppinions, just like yours. there are plenty of people woh do like them, and some who dont. im in the middle somewhere, but my view points change often.   if you read the follow up posts to this one, my first, you will see my clarification. The townhouses are already up and standing, there isnt much to be done with them now. stop making everything negative, and lets try and work with what we have here. It could have been much worse, when you look at other units you see going

They are guite terrible architecturally, the roof lines are too 
shallow, the dormers are not properly proportioned. They are all 
identical in design and exterior finish, commonly refered to 
as cookie cutter development.

The townhouses effectively front on Wesley lake and have spaces 
between them to allow for access to parking. The buildings are in 
pairs, back to back, and present their sides, or ends to the Lake.

No consideration was given to the esthetics presented by the Ocean 
Grove side of the Lake. Or how this will look from Ocean Grove.

The Cookman Avenue side is not the townhomes, those will be an 
independent condominium development. Also very poor architecturally 
since the entire length along two blocks will be identical.

The townhouses on Wesley lake dont look too bad.  Also, keep in mind
when you drive down lake ave., your looking at the back of the
townhouses.  Lake ave wont be a main road, onces its closed off a
block outward east (assuming that still happens).

Terrific, Larry's joke on the water now passes mustard if it simply
doesn't look too bad; guess that's been the master developers plan
all along, paint the waterfront puke yellow, interspersed with cartoon
graffiti characters, then throw-up cookie-cutter vinyl sided crap and
the short-sighted will applaud your good taste.  

Pity, to think they tore down Tillie to build this shit.

MAth help: ??? A third of what - 61 or 740?

They are part of the Wesley Grove project being built by Westminster
Communities, which eventually could see 740 residences on several
blocks.

 Sixty-one more residential units — condominium flats and
duplexes — are being constructed in a four-story building behind the
town houses on the Cookman Avenue side of the block.

Occupancy of those units is expected beginning next fall, Westminster
President Sam Gershwin said Wednesday. Prices range from the
mid-$400,000s to the high-$800,000s. 
About a third of the units have sold, Gershwin said.

I think 1/3 of the 61 or perhaps the 30 that are under construction.
They haven't been approved for the subsequent phases yet, although I 
understand there was a TRC meet last night for phase 2.

Once you dump the insider deals, 1/3 of one; and that guy is only half

And elephants would by now be flying; unfortunately, Larry isn't that
kind of developer.  

When you pay pennies on the dollar, when all you know is drek, you
build or create more of the same.  With that mindset, how could he
possibly have completed (hell, begun) work along the waterfront?  

Left to his own devices, and limited by his skill set, what you see
along Wesley Lake is more likely than not the best of what's to come;
I miss the Palace more and more.

2006-01-26 Thread charlie leonard



werner and the board - i agree, they dont look the best that they could have been, but they are in fact there now. the roof lines, dormers, and angles youspeak of are a matter of oppinion i think. no architect would design something that wasnt proportioined right, or look odd. i dont think the buildings deisign look bad for what they are, noting is "out of place" its posisablethe take on old style, with modern structure is whats making it look wrong to you.i dont know.   when you drive down lake ave, and look at them, and then look straight foward and see the beachfront buildings, they (the townhouses) dont look like they fit in at all. it is horriable acutallly! but we also have to keep in mind, that lake ave, wont be the main road it onces was, when it is it cut off. giving the backside of the townhouses no clear driver
 visibiity. with the exception of a few who drive thru the development for whatever reasons.from pictures, and meetings i remember in the past. there is soppse to be a large buffer of trees along the lake, directly behind the townhouse area. with a small one way road, for utility purposes, not the wide road that is there now (i dont know if that is stillhappening from the way everything is layed out) i dont think a view from either side of wesly lake would be a probelm. the townhouses would have their tree pirvate screen, and ocean grove would have a view of townhouses and trees. not much differnt then the view asbury has of some of ocean groves condos units on the end of ocean ave.   "Ultimately, Wesley Grove at Asbury Park will include approximately 750 residential units ranging in size from 1,100 to 2,650 square feet located along Wesley Lake and Cookman Avenue with views
 of the Atlantic and Asbury’s historic boardwalk. Up to 35,000 square feet of retail space will also be part of the community." i thought the front side of weslty grove, on cookman ave was part of the same project? higher units, giving space for ground floor retail, to fit in with the rest of cookman? all right, i think this post got too long. ill end it here. bye

skip - what you say is a good example of why many people(not necessarily me!) accuse you of causing problems thru out the board. every response you give, usally leads to to a pointless battle (the ones that go too far off topic, and never find their way back). Im far from short-sighted. the keyword, was ment to go along the lines of, "they dont look too bad" meaning, just what it says, THEY DONT LOOK TOO BAD. they are already built, you cant take them away now. it makes sence to look at their good points, few, but there are some. its not going to help anyone or anything by saying how bad they are. how does what Westminster built have anything to do with asbury partners? asbury partners didnt come up with the plan, and they arnt the city or planning boards that approved them.

"As I said in the past, all of cookman faces the wrong way. Cookman should be the service street, not Lake."i remember a while ago when you said that. it would make sence, and seeminglyseems like a good idea. but you cant really do that, when you consider cookman ave is the only street that has its north and south sides both lined with the store space. lake ave has a good view, but aside from that,there isnt anything there. and no place to build anything new either. the only thing is to fix up the backs of the cookman ave buildings, and make themapproachable from both sides. i think a lot of the new places on cookman have donethat, but maybe not enough. maybe for safty reasons, they only really want one "main entrance" the triangle building on cookman and mattison is the same way. the mattisoin
 side is one blank wall, but again, youreally cant havea 2 sides store.
