`"The main difference was that the plan submitted to the state said if the C-8 skeleton had to come down, a new building could not be higher than 8 stories. The plan the council approved did not place that restriction if C-8 is not used. "We were notified on Thursday that a minor modification for the CAFRA permit was approved by the DEP," City Manager Terence Reidy said. "This allows the Metro Homes project to go forward and eliminates the technicality that an unauthorized plan was submitted as part of the CAFRA permit application." " regular weekly meetings that council members are said to be holding in Asbury Partners' offices on the boardwalk. Even if there isn't a quorum present, do we really want our elected officials going offsite to discuss the development of Asbury's waterfront out of the reach of its citizens?" "It's very good news," said Deputy Mayor James Bruno. "They can probably start tearing C-8 down now. A mistake was made and we (the city and redeveloper) corrected it together."'
Much to do about nothing; when we pay to play, erplay having been paidit would be unseemly to `suddenly' get all technical with our payor. Like we took the money, now is not the time to quibble over what `our' master developer and his minions choose do with the license we've so generously bestowed upon him, you takes the money and plays the game. Now is not the time to bite the hand that fed usa deals a dealI say it's high time we get on with this wonderful project, we give unto Fishman what is Fishmans, and finish this latest and greatest rendition of James Bradley's dream. As to CAFRA or some silly Department of Environmental Protection, what do they know, they don't live here, they don't see all the really neat stuff Larry's been doing with his highly paid exterior decorators, pocket judges and servile council; the man's an architectural and developmental genius, we should thank the good Lord (of your choosing) for his (the Lord's) having been so generous with us. Anyone that says different is just plain jealous that they hadn't the foresight to ask for their piece of the action back when Weldon was in cash. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "dfsavgny" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "wernerapnj" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > Further proof of the power of local government to spin the truth > in > > order to facilitate "deals" at the expense of the public and > taxpayers. > > > > It started with violating the City's own adopted redevelopment > plan by > > rezoning for 3000+ condos via contract.
