Top issues during term (13)(Development)
Extension of Ocean Sands Hotel redevelopment variances
An extension keeps a Boardwalk redevelopment project viable without new approvals.
Shoreline and pier construction approvals
The affected neighbor estimated roughly $25,000 to replace his lift with an elevator lift.
special event zone / public safety
The city will spend extra on police and traffic control, while local businesses may see a weekend boost and violators could face fines.
Lazy Lizard Off-Site Parking Reconfiguration
Improvements funded privately; the declaration of restrictive covenants must be recorded before building permits are finalized.
Marine construction permits for waterfront properties
The affected neighbor estimated roughly $25,000 to replace his lift with an elevator lift.
Potential Real Property Acquisition at 205-211 Philadelphia Avenue
The town had offered slightly above appraised value (which factored in about $101,000 in demolition and asbestos costs); the owner's new ask is higher.
Talbot Street pier exceeds code limit
The property owner bears construction and dredging costs; no town funds are involved.
Assawoman Drive Duplex Lot Split
Not specified in the available materials.
Atlantic Edge Condo Project Phasing
Phasing could spread construction activity and its neighborhood impacts over a longer period.
Construction Site Appearance and Screening Enforcement
Majestic Hotel redevelopment timeline
A major hotel redevelopment on a prime Boardwalk corner could boost tourism and the town's tax base.
TEDx and Tesla light show events
If you're driving in, budget extra time and watch for fines—extra enforcement can mean costly tickets.
special event zone designation
The city may absorb costs for signs and enforcement, while drivers could face tickets or towing fees and nearby businesses may get a boost from event traffic.
