 The Township of Neptune Historic Preservation Commission reviews proposed exterior alterations to existing Ocean Grove properties and proposed new Ocean Grove construction. "Certificates of Appropriateness" are issued when applications meet approved standards. The current members of the HPC are dedicated to the goal of sharing information about the benefits of preserving Ocean Grove's heritage and to “Recapture the Spirit of Ocean Grove” with all residents.
Homeowners can contact the HPC Office, Monday thru Friday from 9 am to 3:30 pm in person, by calling  Dawn Crozier at 732-988-5200 x 247 or via email at dcrozier@neptunetownship.org
 
 GRASS STRIPS ARE HISTORIC! 

Grass strips or planting strips are an integral part of the historic character of Ocean Grove. However, the Historic Preservation Commission has found that some residents are not maintaining these strips in accordance with the current ordinance. Neptune Township Ordinance Section 504 (5) provides that these planting or grass strips be maintained with “grass or other type of ground cover plant material.” The ordinance further states that asphalt or loose stones of any variety are not permitted.
 
Please review your planting strips for compliance. Shrubs, gardens, corn stalks, ornaments, flower pots, statues and other similar items are not permitted. Later this fall, the Historic Preservation Commission will be reviewing planting strips to insure compliance.

Let us all work together to preserve the unique character found within Ocean Grove, a National Historic District.

Zoning Board of Adjustment

The Zoning Board or Board of Adjustment, is the board of appeals. Generally applicants are seeking bulk variances. This can apply to such things as setback requirements, lot frontage and/or area, use changes (planning to do business where it is not zoned for business or a homeowner wishing to build a single family dwelling in a commercial area). Variances are necessary for homes not meeting height requirements.

Applications are received and reviewed for completeness. Applicants are notified by mail of their scheduled meeting date and additional information is enclosed in the packet. 

The Board meets monthly on the first Wednesday of the month. Meetings are held at the Neptune High School Media Center, 2 on the second floor.

Rose Havey is the Administrative Officer and can be reached at 732-988-5200 x278.
Please note the Manchester Inn hearing has been carried to Wednesday, April 21, 2010 to begin at 7:30 pm
