Good points being made about the unreliability of Press reporting and the need
for people
to attend meetings for eye-witness accounts.
None of the issues I raised were reported on, I questioned the Council
extensively and
made recommendations.
Facts :
- There is no potential developer for this site or block
- There is no development proposal for this site or block
- No other property on this block is being subjected to condemnation.
- There is no immediate need for these parcels in terms of fulfilling the
'Plan'.
- There is nothing that legally compels the council to vote YES for
condemnation.
- The Council fears being in litigation for voting NO
------------------------------------------------
Recommendations:
- I recommended a moratorium on any further condemnations pending completion of
Asbury Partners current obligations.
- I recommended a rezoning of this block to entertainment uses from the current
resedential.
- I recommended a transfer of the residential units on this block to the
Paramount Phase 2
development by increasing the hieght of the proposed building next to the wter
treatment
plant.
-I asked for a complete review of the redevelopment Zoning in light of changing
economics and the passing of 5 years with little to show for it.
Are these issues significant? I think so.
Should they be reported on? I think so.
Is the Press reading public not getting the facts? I think so.
This is not about "saving the Baronet". The issue is appropriate Zoning and
Planning.
Land use choices that allow the past and future to co-exist.
The issue is also the continued taking of private property while Asbury
partners fails to
perform as promised regarding our beachfront.
