Roy Rogers Hearing Set for Tonight

Location proposed to be built at Brick Boulevard and Molly Lane

 

The Brick Township planning board, on Wednesday night, is set to consider an application by Roy Rogers to construct a restaurant at the corner of Brick Boulevard and Molly Lane.

The application has proved controversial and has been opposed by some residents whose properties neighbor the would-be location, at the northwest corner of the intersection.

A public hearing on the application had been scheduled for Sept. 26, but was carried to tonight's meeting.

In June, representatives for Roy Rogers put forth a revised application to the board. The redesign was intended to relieve many of the apprehensions that board members may have had with the initial design — such as where the customer drive-through and loading areas of the proposed establishment would be.

Planner/Engineer Robert Sive said at the time that the main changes from the initial plan to the second, conceptual plan of the site were the reduction from 3,000 square feet to 2,000 square feet, and the relocation of the drive-through area from the center of the property to the rear of the property.

Attorney Ron Gasiorowski, representing objectors to the project, argued at the time that that the new conceptual plan could not be used by the board to determine the final vote on the application, which prompted the initial delaying of the vote until September.

So the residents didn't have a problem with the Denny's being there operating 24hours? They would rather see an empty building instead? Give me a break. You people live next a major road (Brick Blvd/Hooper Ave), a giant mini mall with a supermarket and a 24 hour gym. Some people complain for the sake of complaining.

From the looks of the photos, are they looking to use the old Dennys location or that empty grass covered pad site across the street ??

It's the grassy area across the street on the west side of Brick Boulevard. It's not the old Denny's building.

I like new businesses coming into Brick, it makes the local economy boom and in theory should lower our property taxes (ha ha ha) BUT I want to see them built on sites that have already been used not on new cleared land, there are so many empty buildings in Brick rotting away, that there is no excuse to clear new land for such projects.

Didn't Roy Rogers originally put in an application to replace the old Denny's building? I guess that was shot down so they are trying the vacant land across the street. Sonic applied to use this vacant lot a few years ago, but the old codgers who live behind the lot complained.

The Sonic controversy predates Patch, but from what I recall, there were concerns of it becoming a late-night hangout based on some experiences from the Waretown location.

With Arby's gone in Brick, the Roy Rogers is a great idea. Cant stomach McDonalds, BK, or Wendys!

Great! A brick "white castle" Parking lot. Instead of failed Tr rappers we have kids with tight bowl cuts and glossy earrings. I'm surprised the town Isnt behind this.more 24 hour punks means more tickets for the town. Which means more money to pay the cops(great!) Also, while we are at it, during the construction process we can probably see a another big rat! Which will give more attention to unions and the upcoming election. Lets not forget the fact that when it's opened the chaos it will bring inside with all the miserable people around here. Almost like a human zoo. So in that case, for good fast food and human entertainment, I say YES!
Ing election

If someone wants to take an old building over and make it nice or even new then whats the problem. We are chock full of 1970 strip malls that no one wants anymore. The town should foreclose where they can and tear down these structures using public works.

Brick planning board would never approve any plan that made sense. That's why the town is filled with empty buildings, bankrupt, and half their politicians are in jail.
