Up for hearings is a high-profile replacement of the legendary Hooks Bar and Grill (long known simply as &#8216;Captain Hook&#8217;s&#8217;), a plan to spruce up a liquor store off Central Avenue and add an ice cream shop to the property, and the demolition of two motels in favor of residential development.<\/p>\n<p>After all of the respective property owners informally presented their proposals to the board during workshop meetings over the last several months, final tweaks of the plans were performed and it is expected that each project will come up for a vote next week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hooks Replacement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shorebeat has been reporting for several years on a potential <a href=\"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/lavallette-seaside\/2025\/01\/legendary-seaside-heights-bar-may-be-replaced-with-sprawling-restaurant-22-condos\/\">plan to replace the Boulevard landmark<\/a>. After some fits and stops, the proposal was presented at the aforementioned workshop meeting and will move forward March 31. The final plans call for the currently building housing the popular bar to be demolished and replaced with 22 residential condominiums, a 40-space parking deck for the residents living in the units, and an all-new Hooks Bar and Grill. <strong>The specific proposal requires the board to grant several variances, according to the final hearing notice:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Setbacks &#8211;<\/strong> asking for 3-foot setbacks on Carteret and Kearney Aves. where 10 feet are required<br \/>\nby code.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Height \u2013<\/strong> The proposed height of the new building would be 54.6 feet high where 41 feet is<br \/>\npermitted.
