To the Editor:

Several weeks ago I submitted a Faulkner Act petition with the signatures of 54 Beach Haven taxpayers to our borough council. The petition requested that the council revert to a 2012 Beach Haven ordinance that required off-street parking for new real estate developments to avoid additional parking, traffic and pedestrian safety problems and risk in our community. The off-street parking requirements in our petition varied by line of business, while the current ordinance does not.

The petition I submitted was ruled invalid by our borough manager, which was an appropriate administrative decision.
