    “The needs of the many, out weigh the needs of the few, or the one”. The priorities of this administration have rarely matched those of the “tax paying” residents.When we bring our agenda and concerns to the council, its always sit down and shut up. Can’t you see all the good things we are doing?

    How can this not be at the top of the list-along with the Lake Como issue-for improvements in Belmar? We work our fingers to the bones to have nice homes and raise our children here. We pay taxes with our hard earned money, and deserve as much protection as possible from our council!

    All is Ok. The water is “permitted” to rise and flood.

    Wait until the marina building and paving is done. It will get worse, which is why the NJDEP likes to see studies done prior to approving permits.

    #3 Best of luck in getting this much needed assistance. As it is, most of us know that the “mayor and council” do not care to do what is truly needed for the residents of Belmar. #6 It will be interesting to see what happens!

    #11. Perhaps, that is why the permitted CAFRA plan 2010 has grass pavers for the entire lot/parkland at K-Street vs. a plastic bags of dredged materials/dewatering site.#10 Try singer/songwriter Joni Mitchell.
    “oh, I wish there was a river, I could sail away on.” Maybe at K Street.

    You hit the nail on the head Teddy. I am certain those tarp covered dredge spoils contributed to a higher than normal problem. No water infiltration on thousands of sq. ft. that was once there. Once again great planning on the part powers that be. Better put a STOP PAYMENT claim in on Maser’s next invoice.

    #10 No – Joni Mitchell 1970. but the song is fitting. I see Teddy caught it too. I am a registered Democrat and Bernie supporter. I am ashamed of the corruption here in Belmar. Unless you are doing the mayor a favor, you mean nothing. I wonder how DJais will help him in his bid for Freeholder. Not sure I want him in that position either. I can only hope that he is exposed for what he is.

    I apologize if my tongue n cheek post to a Joni Mitchell fan #16. offended anyone. I put it in quotes because they are not my words but rather lyrics from the song, “Richard” which is on Ms. Mitchell’s classic Album “Blue”. After all its a known fact that locals who plot against the regime tend to be Joni fans. That is why I hide all my CD’s in case they raid my home.

    You can see the river coming up over the bulkhead in these photos. If the grass pavers were built according to the approved CAFRA plan, it probably would have infiltrated enough of the tide to prevent this!

    Just spent time reviewing the 2010 CAFRA Plans. The area designated “minimal Flooding ( primarily L Street, was based on 1984 FEMA. Clearly the past several storms 2014 and 2015 ( not to mention Superstorm Sandy have proven a need to update. Does anyone know if FEMA has? It would clearly have broad implications for all be constructed and to be constructed in marina and Maclearie Park.
