Other Business / Correspondence / Code Enforcement / Site Review Updates

Tara Developers / Maestro CDC of Long Branch have expressed an interest in the Ewing Golf at
Prospect Street to construct homeownership units. Executive Director, Tyrone Garrett has fully
disclosed to the Board that Maestro CDC is a subsidiary of the Long Branch Housing Authority.
All legal counsels have been advised of this fact from each entity as ETRA would seek to enter
into a Redeveloper’s Agreement/and or the partnership itself. Currently Tara Developers /
Maestro are surveying the parcel for density. Tyrone Garrett will continue to offer updates on the
process and will forward Michael O’Donnell a copy of the joint venture agreement.

Tyrone Garrett request support of the Board to initiate the Ewing Township façade program ,as a
pilot. Matt Palmer of the MAACO Shop has expressed in interest in participating in a façade and
landscaping improvement plan. The Board feels that offering the program in a pilot form will
maintain momentum. The design standards will be created by CWL to accompany the completed
Ewing Façade Improvement Program.

Having no further business, the Board unanimously supported the motion to adjourn the
meeting at 9:15 PM.
