Common Sense For New Hampshire
Liberty Begins At Home

I thought the applicant was rude to Mr Lomas. Almost as if Mr Lomas was an impediment. The applicant objected that his line of questioning had nothing to do with the application at hand. Did he not think that his questioning had everything to do with the impact on his life? The least he could do would have been to politely entertain his questions before he went off and made tons of money. But he couldn’t even do that. I think this whole meeting was a disgrace. Spot zoning at its finest. And the nerve to say that code enforcement would be the check and balance that all the agreed upon conditions of the applications were upheld. How has that been going with respect to all the DJais additions made through the years to their outdoor area that were never approved.
1 – Please leave D’jais out of this …. they are their own code enforcement.
Another application where there is significant objections from residents that fall on deaf ears.
Djais is untouchable just ask the mayor or Frank.
The DAZ or Djais Autonomous Zone is untouchable. All authorities with the intention of enforcing the law should stay away and mind their own business.
#4. Frank who? Frank Sementa or do nothing, overpaid Frank Cinelli?
#6 great question
Yes, they were rude and impatient with Mr. Lomas. He was fighting to retain the value of his property and the quality of life for his family.
Start listening at 3 hours, 30 minutes, 30 seconds, where Mr. Lomas states that the mayor told him that the project was going to go through whether he liked it or not. Gee, how did the mayor know what the decision would be?
Sounds like the rat Doherty under another name, like in “Salt will never open”…I am discouraged and have concluded that all politicians suck, something I have known deep down. Want to know who will reign in hell? Politicians. (I don’t believe in hell, by the way, but there should be a separate planet for such characters, them only, to deal with each other.)
Mr. Lomas was not treated rudely at all. He was throwing darts with a blindfold on. Many of his “questions” were simply not relevant to the matter at hand, or had been addressed in the Redevelopment Agreement. He simply doesn’t want the building there, despite the fact they gave him multiple concessions over the past year and a half. Mr. Lomas bought a home next to an undeveloped/abandoned lot. What did he think was going to happen at some point? He is like the people who buy next to an airport, then complain about the noise.
To those that may be interested in my questions regarding the proposed elimination of a SIGHT TRIANGLE at the intersection of Main Street & Ninth Avenue … below is a copy of Belmar’s Development Code for corner lots.
Belmar town fathers knew that sight triangles were necessary for safe street intersections … and the diagonal parking on 9th would have motorists blindly backing into traffic … ala Jersey Mikes.
Chapter 40 Article 7.5
Sight Triangle at Intersections.
Unless more stringent regulations are provided by other provisions of this chapter, at the intersection of two or more streets, no hedge, fence, screening strip or wall higher than 30 inches above curb level, nor any obstruction to vision, other than a post not exceeding one foot in diameter, shall be permitted on any lot within the triangular area formed by two intersecting street lines bounding said lot, or the projection of such lines, and by a line connecting a point, on each line located 25 feet from the intersection of the street lines.
#10 13TH AVENUE
He could expect that something might be built there according to current zoning rules. He could not foresee that the Borough would write a new set of rules to conform with what a developer wants to build.
#12 – totally agree. And that is why I will not vote for an incumbent that Is currently mayor and council. I’ve drawn a chalk line as of tonight. If your sitting on the Dias right now, I will not vote for you. That starts this fall with Brennan. Who’s with me?
13 – Agree
#13 I’m an average guy who is with you in an above average way
#8 Yes, this decision was made long ago by Walsifer, Kirshenbaum, McKracken, Wann, and Carvelli in concert with the developer (Taylor Family and Matrix). Nothing I said that night was going to make any sort of difference. The ‘fix’ was in when the council approved the redevelopment plan written by the developer that was tailor suited to the building they wanted to build (30 units, 4 stories).
The ‘concessions’ that were supposedly made were vapor. Moving the setback from 30ft to 40 was necessary to have a driving lane in the parking lot. You can’t fit a parking spot and driving lane in 30ft, you need 40. Hardly a concession.
I attended the previous meeting about the lots on 7th and listened to the planning board question and debate garbage cans, parking, traffic flow, and drainage for hours. I expected them to have the same concern for this property, not tell me that those things aren’t their concern. I expected to have community input on a redevelopment plan that is supposed to benefit the community. I expected a building in line with what was built on 5th or 8th. And what I expected was a fair process that took resident concerns seriously.
#13-15 I’m with you. This crew needs to go. But that won’t be enough. I think we need non-partisan elections. I think we need an ordinance requiring community input on redevelopment plans since they re-write zoning laws. I think we need to not only re-examine the current zoning laws and master plan, but more importantly to actually enforce and listen to them! We need council to be transparent in their decisions and listen to the community instead of ignoring and brushing them off.
Yep – unfortunately, Belmar politics hasn’t changed over the past decade or so. Really missing Kenny.
16. Brett Lomas – You are right. This was already decided and nothing anyone said was going to change their plans.
