Keansburg redevelopment agency endorses Sackman Enterprises’ 42‑unit 288 Beachway project
Summary
The Borough Redevelopment Agency endorsed Sackman Enterprises’ four‑story, 42‑unit proposal for 288 Beachway and referred the application to the Zoning Officer and Planning Board. The endorsement follows developer presentations and council discussion about parking, utilities and a required use variance for a Highland Avenue overflow lot.
The Borough of Keansburg Redevelopment Agency voted to endorse Sackman Enterprises’ application for a four‑story building with 42 residential units at 288 Beachway and referred the matter to the Zoning Officer and the Planning Board.
Cecelia Lassiter, an attorney with Sills Cummis representing Sackman Enterprises, introduced the project to the council, and architect Bruce Adelsberger of Barton Partners presented floor plans, exterior elevations and proposed amenities. Engineer Joe Mele told the council the new proposal provides 44 on‑site parking spaces, down from a previously approved 49‑space standalone lot; overflow parking for the nearby 1 and 2 Carr Avenue projects would be relocated to a lot at 19–27 Highland Avenue with 23 spaces.
Borough Engineer Robert Yuro cautioned that the Highland Avenue site is in a B2 zoning district and is not a permitted use without Planning Board review and a use variance. Yuro also listed pre‑construction concerns carried over from the 19 Carr Avenue project that require attention in design plans, including removal or relocation of utility poles, transformer siting and timing, trash removal logistics, off‑site utility upgrades and minimizing impacts on neighbors from remote parking.
Carter Sackman said Sackman Enterprises is coordinating with JCP&L on utility issues and intends to do a utilities analysis prior to construction. The Redevelopment Agency adopted Resolution #24‑150 endorsing the application; the roll call vote recorded by the clerk indicates the members present voted in favor.
Next steps: the application will proceed to the Borough Zoning Officer and the Planning Board, where the developer must seek any required variances and site approvals.
