Stop the Overdevelopment of Brick
Stop the Overdevelopment of Brick
The Issue
*Update: The special hearing is scheduled for Thursday May 29th at 7pm, Town Hall 401 Chambersbridge Road
A significant tract of 5.34 acres of woods on Drum Point Road is in danger of being completely cleared and replaced by a 60 unit multi-family housing complex. We are calling on our fellow Drum Point Road and greater Brick area neighbors to help bring opposition to the project and preserve our wooded area.
A developer, The Ramani Group located out of Roselle Park, NJ, has asked the township of Brick to approve the demolition of the woods with several variances in order to proceed with their project. Their engineer, Ryan McDermott, provided testimony on October 9 at the Brick Board of Adjustment meeting the project will not significantly contribute to traffic on Drum Point Road and stated their refusal to perform an air quality test. The woods act as a natural buffer to mitigate flooding and reduce air pollution. The destruction of it must be stopped.
Those who live around the woods know it to be a unique oasis of wildlife with native Pine Barrens, all too rare in a town that has already lost much of its original forests and wetlands to development. If this proposal gets approved, what is to stop future developments such as this coming to Brick and taking more of our natural woodlands.
As residents living near the 100 Drum Point Road Woods, we are raising our voices to preserve this distinct ecosystem nesting in our neighborhood. The splendor of these woods not only offers visual solace but is a haven for wildlife, which we have cohabitated with for years.
We urge our local government to intervene and preserve the woods. By doing so, they will maintain the balance of our local ecosystem, the quiet serenity of our neighborhood, and save countless wildlife located there.
Please sign the petition to protect this land. It cannot advocate for itself. We are hoping each person that signs this petition also shares it with friends and family to sign it as well.
