Overview: In a recent meeting of the Asbury Park Planning Board, a significant amendment to the Central Business District (CBD) Redevelopment Plan was deliberated, centering on the inclusion of a sound recording studio on Cookman Avenue. The proposed amendment, which aimed to permit the studio with a focus on music and video production, mastering, and rehearsal, sparked a discussion among board members on whether to allow such a use in the entire district or limit it to the specified property. The board grappled with the implications of standardizing sound studio requirements versus evaluating applications on a case-by-case basis, considering the diverse nature of the district’s buildings and neighboring uses.

Overview: The Asbury Park School Board meeting addressed significant fiscal challenges, with the budget out of balance by approximately $1 million. The budgetary shortfall remained a focal point, despite the potential passage of a bill that could restore some state aid. The Acting Superintendent underscored the rigorous review process, as the budget was examined line by line to implement necessary adjustments. Additionally, the possibility of the township contributing towards courtesy busing for safety was discussed as a potential revenue source. The board also considered scheduling an additional meeting to vote on the budget, with the potential date of May 14th suggested, but there was hesitation due to advertising requirements and timing, leading to a suggestion to wait for the next regular board meeting on May 23rd.
