New Date Announced For Final Zoning Hearing On Drum Point Complex In Brick

BRICK, NJ — The Brick Township Board of Adjustment has changed the date of the final hearing and vote on the proposed townhouse and apartments for the property at 100 Drum Point Road.

The hearing will be held during a special meeting set for Thursday, May 29. It will be at 7 p.m. in the council chambers at the municipal building, 401 Chambers Bridge Road.

A special meeting had initially been set for July 30, with zoning board chairman David Chadwick saying the meeting will be devoted to the Drum Point application only. The session will be public comment on the application followed by the board's vote.

The project, which has been before the zoning board since October 2023, would build 48 three-bedroom townhomes and a 12-unit apartment building with three-, two- and one-bedroom units to meet affordable housing requirements.

The property, which had been a medical office, is in the village zone where multi-family housing is not a permitted use. It has been opposed by residents in the area because of concerns about additional traffic and other issues. A petition on Change.org has received more than 2,100 signatures.

The board listened to nearly three hours of public questioning of the developer's professionals at the last meeting on May 7, much of which was focused on concerns about traffic and parking.
