New location opened Friday on Route 70 in Lakewood
WaWa celebrated the grand opening of its newest Ocean County location Friday by making donations to local Hurricane Sandy relief efforts. CEO Howard Stoeckel presented a $10,000 donation to the Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean County and the Community Food Bank of New Jersey while marking the opening of the convenience store chain's new location on Route 70 in Lakewood. "It's remarkable how people have been bringing the community back to life and supporting one another," Stoeckel said. A tractor-trailer containing 8 tons of food and disaster relief supplies was parked alongside the store. Over 260,000 meals have been delivered by the food bank since Sandy struck. The organization's treasurer, Lauren Holman, accepted the donation. "We can't…

Local company wants to combine properties, build Wawa on Route 34
A scheduled hearing before the Board of Adjustment on an application to build a Wawa convenience store and gas station on Route 34 and Hurley Pond Road was scuttled Wednesday. The applicant, CJS Investments of Wall, asked to have the hearing postponed to a later date, Board of Adjustment members said. A new date was unclear Wednesday night. CJS Investments, of Wall, wants to combine portions of two adjoining parcels at the intersection to build a 4,000-square-foot Wawa convenience store with 16-pump gas station with a separate, 2,968-panel solar electricity farm behind it. The company finished up their pitch on the Wawa proposal at the April 4 meeting and is scheduled to begin testimony on the solar farm. It is possible the board could …

The Board of Adjustment could vote Wednesday on whether to approve an application to build a Wawa convenience store and gas station on Route 34 south and Hurley Pond Road.

Board of Adjustment nearly ready to vote on store and gas station proposal
Following a 2 1/2-hour meeting Wednesday, the Board of Adjustment is about a one session away from voting on an application to build a Wawa convenience store and gas station on the corner of Route 34 and Hurleys Pond Road.

Board of Adjustment scheduled to hear Route 34 application
The Board of Adjustment on Wednesday is scheduled to hear an application to build a Wawa convenience store with gas station and a separate solar farm on property at Route 34 and Hurleys Pond Road. Wall-based CJS Investments wants to combine portions of two adjoining parcels at the intersection to create enough space on each to build a Wawa convenience store with gas station with a separate, unmanned, 2,968-panel solar electricity farm behind it. The company's last pitch to the board was in February. Art Bernard, a planner who testified in favor of the Wawa proposal, touted the benefits to the surrounding businesses and the town. The land is zoned for office use. CJS is asking for the board to grant a waiver to allow the Wawa. “I think the …

Not all Board of Adjustment members keen on convenience store pitch
A proposed Wawa convenience store and gas station on Route 34 south would not attract as much traffic as the existing Wawa up the road on Route 34 north and would nearly identical to the store the chain recently opened in neighboring Neptune Township, a Wawa official told the Board of Adjustment Wednesday. But some members of the board weren’t necessarily warm to the idea. A representative from Wawa, which is eyeing land at Hurley Pond Road and Route 34 south, told the zoning board at Wednesday’s regular meeting that the proposed 4,000-square-foot store and 16-spot gas station would likely see roughly the same amount of traffic as the newly opened store on Shafto Road in Tinton Falls, but have the same convenience store as the new location…

Board of Adjustment to hear testimony Feb. 22

Board of Adjustment declines to vote before whole project pitched
The Board of Adjustment on Wednesday declined to vote on a minor subdivision that would create space for a Wawa convenience store and gas station and a nearly 3,000 panel solar farm on Hurley Pond Road and Route 34. The applicant, township-based CJS Investments, wants to combine portions of two adjoining parcels at the intersection to create enough space on each to build a Wawa convenience store with gas station with a separate, unmanned, 2,968-panel solar electricity farm behind it. Stuart Challoner, of Toms River-based Challoner & Associates, touted the benefits of moving the lot lines between the two parcels, taking some from one and adding to the other, saying that the new parcels would be of more benefit for the improvement of both, …

Route 34 proposal kicked to Planning Board for review
The Board of Adjustment on Wednesday declined to hear an application to build a new Wawa convenience store and gas station on a parcel of land at Route 34 and Hurley Pond Road. The proposal by CJS Investments calls for subdividing a portion of the property at 1801 Route 34 between the convenience store and gas station and a proposal to build a solar energy facility with 2,968 solar panels. But the division of the property was troubling to board attorney Geoffrey Kramer, who said the Planning Board would have jurisdiction over that portion of the application, not the zoning board. “If this were a combined board, exercising the power of both a Planning Board and Board of Adjustment, I would have no problem with these applications being …
