Huge Wall Project Targets Belmar Boulevard Tract

A project that calls for the construction of seven warehouse buildings on a Belmar Boulevard parcel in the extreme west of Wall Township is scheduled to be heard next week by the Planning Board.

The applicant, ASP Wall LLC, wants to build an 80,000-square-foot warehouse building, and six 15,000-square-foot buildings — a total of 170,000 square feet of buildings — along with associated parking, drainage and utility facilities on a tract at Belmar Boulevard and Birdsall Road, according to a public notice.

A portion of the property, which is located in an industrial zone, is in neighboring Howell Township. If constructed, the buildings would be hooked up to Howell water and sewer, despite that all seven buildings are slated to be built on Wall Township property, according to the notice.

The buildings would be used for warehouse and office space, divided approximately 75 percent warehouse and 25 percent office, according to the notice.

ASP is seeking a number of setback and other variances from the board in order to build the project.

The proposal asks the board to approve two waivers from constructing an acceleration lane on Belmar Boulevard for sites that generate substantial traffic, the notice says. Other waivers deal the the placement and width of driveways

A public hearing is set for 7:30 p.m. Oct. 1 at Wall town hall, 2700 Allaire Road.
