Point Pleasant Beach Board of Adjustment memorializes past minutes, denies 218 Channel Avenue application and carries large project to Sept. 3
Summary
At its June 4, 2026 special meeting the Point Pleasant Beach Board of Adjustment approved past minutes and a resolution, memorialized the denial of application 2025-35 for 218 Channel Avenue (applicant Thomas Divine), and voted to carry a large Crescento-group application to Sept. 3, 2026, without further notice.
The Point Pleasant Beach Board of Adjustment on June 4, 2026, approved routine minutes and memorialized a denial of an application for 218 Channel Avenue while carrying a separate large application to Sept. 3, 2026, without further public notice.
Board members first approved motions to memorialize the March 5 and March 19 minutes. The board also moved to memorialize a prior approval recorded in the transcript as 'June 26-15 of Jenson's d/b/a 1500 Richmond A LLC' with conditions; the resolution language was presented and a motion to approve was recorded.
In a separate item the board memorialized denial of application 2025-35, filed by Thomas Divine for property at 218 Channel Avenue. Board members noted that, because other members had previously recorded favorable votes on the underlying matter, only four members were eligible to vote on the memorialization of the denial; those four members voted to memorialize the denial.
The board then considered a request from the group identified in the record as the 'Cresento group' to carry a sizable application to a later date. After discussion about prior carries and the project's scale, Mr. Loer moved and Mr. Da seconded a motion to carry application 2026-02 to Sept. 3, 2026, without further notice; the motion passed on recorded affirmations from the board.
Following the formal business, the chair asked whether any members of the public wished to speak, an audience member was recognized for a brief exchange, and a motion to adjourn was made and seconded. Board members made several remarks about new microphones and livestreaming technology before ending the meeting.
What the record does not show: the transcript does not include a clear, on-the-record statement of the substantive reasons for denial of application 2025-35; no minutes excerpt in the transcript records conditions attached to the Jenson's approval beyond referencing that conditions exist. The Crescento-group item was carried to Sept. 3, 2026, without notice; the board did not set a new hearing time during this session other than that date.
