   I would not trust the decisions of the zoning board when aesthetics seem to dominate in weighing their votes when the variances requested are excessive. OK, many were troubled, but voted yes anyway. If such a project is proposed in your neighborhood, oh so pretty by Ms. Hearn’s architectural expertise, and residents complain because the project is too intrusive and requires ignoring existing zoning terms, beware. Attractive is not enough. Also, the personality of the builder/developer is irrelevant. I am disappointed in this decision, although the new proposed structure “looks nice”.

   #4 – I actually disagree. When will we switch from the Mary Hern style in this town? It’s going to look like a planned community.

   At the meeting, several people praised the work of Mary Hearn and her building style, not me, for sure. Drive into Belmar over the Main Street bridge or ride the train over the inlet and be greeted by two behemoths on Main Street at the bridge. Not attractive and out of place. I don’t know who designed those buildings, but they contribute to the planned community look. Wait for the Belmar Inn proposed project to be resurrected. More Mary genius. And listen to the short comment by board member Palmisano about why he voted yes.

   Goosie Gander – Bad examples used. Neither of those behemoth buildings were designed by Hearn. Try again….

   #8 “I don’t know who designed those buildings, but they contribute to the planned community look.” Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I like Kandinsky, some like Delacroix.

    Or in the world of architecture, some like Palladio, some like Gaudi, lest I be off topic.

    #12 Thanks. OK for many, apparently. She gets those variances, can’t argue about that.
