Mayor and Commissioners 1. Basements. Corey Shinko, Assistant Building Inspector, provided the Mayor and Commissioners a presentation describing the available data regarding illegal basement living space at the workshop meeting of October 10, 2023. Data indicates that this is a significant and concerning issue, and was recognized as such by the Mayor and a majority of Commissioners based on the discussions. Please follow the links below to a copy of the Presentation which includes the data mentioned above. You may watch the presentation by clicking on the video link provided.

Baltimore Avenue Lifeguard and Comfort Station Project. A public hearing was held during the Board of Commissioners meeting held on November 17, 2023. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Board of Commissioners voted to proceed with the abandonment of a portion of Baltimore Avenue at the east end abutting the Boardwalk. According to the supporting documents, this abandonment was required in order to accommodate the new larger Life Guard facility and Comfort Station with additional amenities. Planning Commission 1. Proposed Hotels. As of this date (December 18, 2023), there is no new information available regarding any of the known proposed hotel projects. 2. Concept Plan Review: Nos. 413, 415 and 417 Rehoboth Avenue. The developer presented an initial review of plans to redevelop the vacant lots at these addresses at the regular Planning Commission meeting held on November 3, 2023. The proposal is for three separate buildings of a mixed-use residential design that would remind our members of older houses on Rehoboth Avenue that have been converted into businesses on the street level with living space above. As this was an initial and somewhat informal meeting, no decisions or approvals were offered although written feedback will be provided to the developer.
